Ran 5 easy to hidden valley for 3 and then the spectrum for 2. Hip groin whatever thing is still tight so I'll get another massage after the dirty hurty. 

Afternoon was good. We had our mile time trial on the track. 2.5 warmup, drills, strides, 1600m, 2 mile cool down. It went well. Coach said go and Jaiden went straight to the lead, followed by Josh then me. Hit 400m in 1:07. Then I went around josh at about 450m and tried to catch up to Jaiden. 800m in 2:15. Third lap is always hardest but I made a lot of ground on Jaiden, he was about 2 secs ahead of me at this point. 3:24. I didn't finish as strong as I could have until the last 150m so that's something to work on. Crossed second to Jaiden in 4:31 which is a 3 second PR. I'd say it's pretty good considering the fastest paces we've hit so far this year were 1:07's, which is the average for what I ran today. Jaiden ran 4:28, I was 4:31, Josh was 4:32. So we all qualified for state lol good stuff from everyone today.

Ran 4 easy with kasey and Boston towards sunriver this morning. 

6.5 total this afternoon. It was supposed to be like a moderate pace so not easy but not tempo.  Avg 6:41. Afterwards we had hardcore weights part 13.

Ran 3 easy to the spectrum this morning. 

Couldn't do the challenge with the team today cuz they're doing it at 6:30 and I have a sterling scholar banquet at 7. Drove out to the Sullivan soccer park thing cuz I thought those trails out there weren't paved but it turns out they are so that kinda sucked. So I went the opposite way towards maverick from there. 6 easy.

Race: Dirty Hurty Trail Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:30:49, Place overall: 1

Today was a good start to spring break. I went into this race looking to redeem myself from last year. Steve said go and we went, me and Boston just ran behind the 50k guys so it was a really slow first little bit.

Mile 1: 7:54. Running behind the 50k guys, so they were going slower. Still good stuff, we just talked with coach and Hayden Hawks and these two park city trail dudes, and looked at the sunrise. it was pristine.

Mile 2: 8:07. Still behind the 50k dudes, super hilly. This isnt an easy course.

Mile 3: 7:53. Still chillin.

Mile 4: 7:57. Chillin in cedar rapids. The difference between this year and last year is that last year Josh and Kale went hard from the get go. We were way slow the first half.

Mile 5: 7:22. Pickin' it up.

Mile 6: 7:08.

Mile 7: 6:16. Started to come off the mountains and hills and down into the aid station. I used the restroom and ate a pb&j. Probably my saving grace cuz last year I didn't eat anything. When I finished eating, Boston, Kasey and Ginge had already started running about 3 minutes ago; they had like a half mile lead on me.

Mile 8: 6:12. tryin' to catch back up to the guys. race mode was kicking in, and it did for them too.

Mile 9: 5:49. Still pushin' up to them.

Mile 10: 5:53. At this point we were on the road, and it had flattened out a bit, but my legs were trashed from the downhills. Caught up to the guys here.

Mile 11: 7:13. Really feelin' it, plus there were 2 big hills on the road and then we hopped back onto the trails where it was more hilly there. Down to me and Boston at this point. This is where I started to push.

Mile 12: 6:33. Really trying to separate more from Boston. It worked.

Mile 13: 6:23. Finished in 1:30:49, first place overall. that was really good stuff from everyone today. Boston was an animal today.

After the race me and Boston ran 5 more miles to celebrate my 18 years of existence. Longest run I've ever done. Great start to spring break. 6:56 average for the race, 7:45 average for the whole 18.

Drove up to little black mountain for my workout. 3 mile warmup, 10x:30 sec hard/30 sec easy, cooled down to 7. Felt pretty smooth even though my legs are still pretty trashed from last week. Good stuff out on the trails

Made it about 100 feet out the door this morning and my left tibia was just not being nice to me. Same problem I always have with tight calves. Probly cuz of the 18 miler on Saturday. I'm taking today off and seeing Adam at 3, then we'll see how I feel tomorrow. Dangit.

8 with Boston up to seegmiller. Finally made it to the top, we had a view of the Grand Canyon, hurricane, Kanab, all of st George, the gorge, just all of Washington county and then some. It was beautiful. But it came with a catch cuz my tibia still hurts, even after my massage. That's never happened before. I'm gonna have another massage and then I guess we'll see.

Ran 7 easy to the boneyard. Finally pain free. I'll still ice and ibuprofen just in case tho. But I'm glad I didn't have to limp through another run.

Workout today. 2 mile warmup, 3x5:00 @ 5k pace, then I did a longer cool down to make up for mileage I've lost this week. Felt pretty tired and out of breath and stomach problems but those just happen for every morning workout I do haha. I didn't focus on times or anything but first rep I made it 1 mile, second .95, third .96. Not too bad considering I've had a pretty inconsistent week with aches and pains and stuff. I'll probly do a short run tomorrow just to keep things going cuz of the mileage I've lost. Chandler is next week and I couldn't be more excited.

Happy pi day my sweet desert blossoms. 3 easy to hidden valley this morning. Chandler is this week!!

Afternoon was good. 8 total, 7 out to the boneyard then strides. Me and Boston tried to think of what crime would suit each of our team members, I got fraud, which seems right cuz I would never do something violent and I would totally scam people lol. Hardcore weights part 14 after. Panther relays tomorrow, going for a DMR record then gonna chill with some fun events after.

3 easy to the spectrum 

Today was good. We had the panther relays.  It's not a serious meet so it's a lot of fun. I ran the 1200 in the DMR, the 4x100, the sprint medley 400, and cooled down for mileage.  It was fun, we all kinda chilled and screwed around, and I'm super super excited for chandler where I'll have a real racing mentality racing alongside some of the fastest in the nation.

Workout. 2.5, drills, strides, then 2 sets of 4x400m @ 1:10-11 w :45 sec recovery, 2x200m starts w 200m recovery. Felt good, hit everywhere from 1:09-1:11 so right on. Chandler will be legendary.

Race: Nike Chandler Invite Elite 3200 (2 Miles) 00:09:43, Place overall: 20

Eh. Warmed up a little over 2 miles. We had chilled all day and played dying light, usual pre race routine. Boston ran a huge PR in the mile with 4:39, shoutout to him. Did strides and got to the line. The gun went off and I wanted to make sure not to get boxed in and not kill myself sprinting either. I got boxed the crap in, and the whole field was super slow. The leader at the first lap was alek parsons, and even he came through at 1:11. Super slow first lap. I was in about 3rd to last out of 34 runners at 1200m. Hit the mile in 4:55, just like last year. Started to move up here. Caught Bryson and Josh, then pushed up to Jaiden who wasn't too far behind Alek. Alek was definitely having an off day. Started moving more and passing people, then alek and jaiden moved and i tried to go with them. the bell lap hit and even alek wasnt in first, he was in like 6th, which was crazy. Hit the last 100m and kicked hard but not crazy like i should have. josh caught me at the line. finished in 9:43.1 which is a 1 second PR, and nowhere near what I wanted. all things considered though, it wasn't too  bad. Even alek didn't go under 9:30, he was 9:32, so it was cool to be within like 10 seconds of this crazy fast dude. super slow race for everybody. the negatives are that i didn't get the time or place i wanted. the positives are that no one did either, i negative split 4:55, 4:47, and it's still a PR even if it's one second. It really made me realize that there's still a lot of work to do, and I will get my goals. ALso there was a lot of dirt in the air on the track so idk if that had anything to do with it. not what i wanted, but all things considered, it wasn't terrible.

Hard today. Almost didn't finish. 2.5 warmup, drills, strides, 2x1200m @ 3:41 w 3:00 200m jog, 2x800m @ 2:14 w 3:00 200m jog, 2x300m finishes, 4x100m finishes. Hit 3:41, 3:42, then 2:24...coach had us switch after that because no one was hitting their times, so after the first 800 we did 2x400m w :30 sec rest, i hit 1:08, 1:10...then finished hard as i could for the 3's and 1's. really flat from a long car ride, plus it was a monday workout. i'm not too worried, cuz not every workout will be perfect.

6 total. 2.4 warmup, drills, strides, 3x5:00 min on the track at T pace with random surges thrown in by coach, with 3:00 recovery between each, then 4x100m starts. Cooled down to 6. Felt good. Didn't crush it too hard today, cuz we've got a huuuge workout on Friday that I wanna be fresh for. Good stuff from everyone today.

3 easy to the spectrum this morning.

After that, we had our flag run tradition. what it is is the seniors all run a dhills flag around the water tower, then run it up the water tower. the route was about 1.2 miles long, and the goal is to beat the time from the previous year's seniors. it was a new course so we have the record. we did it in like 5:00. there were probably 100 seniors that showed up so that was so great. I was the first leg, and boston, since he's on student council, was the last, and he ran it up the water tower. awesome stuff. then we had thunder day, and just check my snapchat story for that good stuff, it's thesageducote

4 easy kony led by coach clark.

hard workout today, but i feel like it'll be a huge benefit. 2.5 warmup, drills, strides, 20x400m in sets, first set of 4 was at 5k pace, 1:13-1:15, with 1:30 recovery, next set of 4 was same, next set of 4 was 2 mile pace, 1:10-1:12, with 1:00 recovery, next set of 4 was mile ish pace (a little slower) 1:08, with :45 sec recovery, next set of 4 was 1:08-1:06 with :30 sec recovery. same amount of recovery between sets as the recovery between reps.

First set: 1:16, 1:15, 1:15, 1:15, right on.

second set: 1:15, 1:15, 1:14, 1:13, right on.

third set: 1:11, 1:11, 1:12, 1:10, right on.

fourth set: 1:08, 1:09, 1:08, 1:08, starting to feel it.

fifth set: right here i made a bad mistake, i thought it was :45 recovery still for the last set, but coach said it was :30 instead, that kinda wrecked me mentally for the last few, but i should've payed better attention. hit 1:06, 1:09, 1:14. then after i faded hard on that one, coach said don't do the last one 'til my heart rate gets to 130. that took about 2 minutes, so after that I ran a 1:03. good good workout, i closed it hard and i felt good about the whole thing pretty much.

Easy 3 through the 6.
