Desert Twilight (3.107 Miles) 00:15:49, Place overall: 23 | | today was a great day. we chilled all day playing dying liight as usual. got to the course and warmed up. did our strides and stuff. the gun went off and i got out pretty well, righ where i wanted to be. hit the mile in 4:57, then really tried to push the second mile to try to hold that pace. came across 2 miles in 10:02. still good stuff and i was moving up. kept moving up, then with about 1000m to go spencer came up on my side and said "men of the west, prepare to move out" and i started laughing cuz hes the best. he passed me and i went with him until he started his gnarly kick, he crossed at 15:44 and i was 5 seconds back with 15:49. i passed like 4 guys with 800 to go and like 5 guys in the last 400 meters, so i'd consider it a success. we won by a large margin and got a huge trophy and some sick milesplit/dyestat shoutouts, and nike backpacks. good stuff from our crew, and this was without Tanner, who is an important top 5 scorer. super pumped for what that shows for nike.

| | So here's the deal guys. I quit the blog for a while, and I got back on today just to look at a few things like shoe mileage and stuff and I saw that i still have visible views. So thats sick so i think i'm back for a little bit. Maybe i just needed a little break to remind me how fun it is to track my progress.
morning- 3 easy
afternoon- 2.5 warmup, drills, strides, ladder workout on the track 200, 400, 800, 800, 400, 200 at 100%, 1 mile cool down. I felt kinda flat but it was good stuff, hit 31, 64, 2:21, 2:23, 65, 28. the hay is in the barn, time to catch the does at region, my sweet desert blossoms.

Afternoon- 4.5 easy with 4x200m. Good run. Lost my visible views so that sucks but who cares, as long as I see my blog I'm happy lol. I've been thinking, there's gonna be lots of "lasts" this season. Gotta make it count.

Region 9 Championships (3 Miles) 00:16:12, Place overall: 6 | | REGION
No morning run this morning. Idk how I felt about it because it felt like my legs never warmed up during our warm up, maybe it's because of no running in the morning. Who knows. Anyway we warmed up and it was pretty sad cuz it's my last region race. Legs felt flat. The gun went off and I got out right where I wanted to be. Mile 1 felt chill. Mile 2 was a little harder, i was still top 3 but I was fading. Idk why I just felt drained all day today. But I worked my way back up on the final long uphill section and caught nick, but at the top of the hill he blew by me and I couldn't hang. Kinda cruised it in to the finish. Weird race. But we won with 22 pts to 38 pts so that's pretty good. Took 6th just like last year. All in all it was probably a good race cuz the course was hard and it was actually longer than 3 but I won't guess on the distance for this entry. Now it's time to focus up for state, because that's the real goal. Good stuff from everyone today

| | Met at Warner valley with Boston, Bryson and Riley Swaney. It was nice perfect weather. Ran 5 easy then started a 5x:30 sec with 30 sec recovery workout. Coach said just kind of ease into race pace, so that's what me Boston and Bryson did. Then we finished hard the last one. Felt good and I'm super pumped for state. I will achieve my goal.

Utah 3A State XC (3 Miles) 00:16:08, Place overall: 6 | | STATE
First of all congrats to everyone today. There were some great races.
Warmed up with the crew. Had a good time. The gun went off and I got out right where I wanted to be, right around 8th place. The lead pack was me hell raiser Josh Jaiden spence and Dallen I think and some stand bury bro and bear river and mckade steffensen. When we got to the first big hill I made sure to take it conservative cuz everyone blasts up it and that's really stupid. Held my place til the long gradual hill around the pond. Halfway up it I took the lead and held it until about 1200 meters to go when nick started moving. I tried to go with him but my legs wouldn't carry me where my mind wanted me. Finished strong the last 400. Came in 6th. This was one of our bad races this year. We collectively had bad races as a team. But the positives are also great. Our collective bad race still resulted in a 3rd straight state championship. We will now be regarded as the underdogs, just like after we didn't race well at American fork. But recall the race after American fork, which was BYU, where we had one of our best team races. If the pattern continues, Nike southwest is going to be historical this year. So I'm going to embrace this underdog position but don't count out desert hills. We're ready

Jaiden was 9:45 then josh 9:52 then tanner 9:55 then me 10:06 (legs felt really heavy today) then spence 10:08 then Bryson 10:09. We're back. Cooled down then spencer killed us with core.

| | After a really awesome and eye opening night last night, I had the ACT in the morning. I feel like I killed everything but science, since for some reason my allergies struck right then and j couldn't breathe so I couldn't focus. But I can feel that 32. Anyway after that I decided to just say screw it and I ran the ridge. Just wanted to take my mind off things so I was up there skipping around and having fun by myself it was great. I probly looked like an idiot but I had so much fun just playing on the trails. I need more runs like that.

| | 3 cold miles to the bridge with the usual crew
good afternoon workout. ran a 2.5 warmup, drills, then 4x200m starts (to practice getting out at nike) then 3x1 mile dirt repeats with first 2 at 93% and last one at goal nike pace. really good stuff. hit 5:16, 5:19, 4:49. the 4:49 didn't feel all out and i negative split, also i'm glad i could hammer that out on the dirt. we had 3 guys under 4:50 and 6 under 5 on the last one, so this was a sick workout from everyone. grateful for boston
Scratch that, 7 under 5 minutes

| | 3 easy to hidden valley again. I need to stop wearing so much clothes.
great afternoon workout from everyone in the rain. at the muddy, slippery little valley park we did a 2.5 mile warmup, drills, then 4x200m starts, then 12x400m at 1:10-1:13 with the last 4 at 1:06-1:08, then a mile cooldown. legs were heavy from pretty much everyone, which is why i think this workout was great cuz we all hit our times. ranged from 1:10-1:12 on the first 8, then i ranged 1:05-1:08 on the last 4. great push from everyone. finished really hard due to a great speech from coach which was eye opening and motivating to the max

| | 3 easy this morning with coach boston and lily. spencer passed us later chanting spells at us, i think it's affecting me.
Today was the Halloween run, I was a guy straight out of like 1973 it was great lol. I didn't plan anything until this morning when I decided to just google "70s men's fashion" and I just tried to copy the first pic that came up. Me and Scott went to the DI 4th period to try and put stuff together and it worked out awesome

| | Met at Warner valley at 630 with the crew to do our workout. It was 10 miles total, first 5 miles warmup then 3 miles at 6:30 pace then last 2 miles at goal Nike pace. I'd say we did pretty good considering the hard week. Jaiden hit 10:07 Josh was 10:15 Bryson was 10:25 I was 10:30 and Scott and bos and gibby killed it too. We all negative split and it was sick and now we're at Denny's making sweet passionate conversation. Oh also we went up to watch the big sky conference XC championships it was sick Hayden Hawks is my idol. SUU would be cool to run for. Also we got a pic with good ol cam Levins which was also pretty neat
