Today Don gave us a really easy workout just so he could make sure we were feeling better from last week. Just an easy 4 miles. But first we started with team warm ups where I ran a mile on the track, and did team stretches. I was feeling pretty good and the air outside was perfect. Hayden, Eric, and I ran past the stake center at a real comfortable pace. Back at the school we did 4x100m strideouts on the track and then finished with a half mile barefoot on the football field. Today was just an awesome day. I can't wait for the real racing to start.

Just trying to get feeling better from all of last weeks workouts. I don't want to keep digging myself into a deeper hole and I need to get recovered. I warmed up for 2 miles and then put my spikes on and did 4x800 at a little faster than 5k pace. I was pretty consistent on all my times. I finished each around 2:30. I felt pretty good but just a little sore. Ran to canyon elementary then back to do a barefoot mile.

Well I woke up pretty sore again today which is nice. Not really but Don wanted me to take it pretty easy again. Did some team warm ups then took off to go do 6 easy. I'm really suprised that I have still been so sore. Usually I will feel sore from a really good workout for two days tops. I tend to recover really quickly, but apparently not this week. But anyways, I did McDonalds loop and went down main street in Hyrum for a couple of blocks then headed back to the school. Had 5 miles when I got there so I ran a mile barefoot on the turf. Maybe I need to incorporate mile protein in my diet to help me rebuild my muscle quicker.

Each day I keep feeling better but Don suggested that I still take it easier until I feel like I'm 100 percent. For aerobics this morning my class had to do a mile and half run on the track. I ran at and easy to moderate pace and finished in 8:30. Ha I didn't want to look like a try-hard so I didn't really run hard at all but geez everybody was going like a 9 minute mile pace, so it made me look like I was flying when I wasn't. For track I did 8x200 at just a bit faster than mile pace with a 200 meter active recovery in between each set.. I was really conisistent and hit anywhere from 29 to 31 seconds. I felt pretty good even though it wasn't a hard workout by any means. Cooled down for a mile to Canyon Elementary and then did a mile and a half on the turf. I can't wait to when I feel 100 again and do some hard track workouts. Peace.

Mile time trial today. To be honest I hate time trials because they suck and it's like racing when there is really no race. You don't have the usual adrenaline going through you so the feeling is a lot different. I warmed up to 2 by running on the dirt road east of Canyon Elementary. When I got back to the school I switched into my vic's and my coach started me out. My coach started a big group to run the mile while I was warming up so it was just another slower kid and me. I felt pretty good the first lap. The only thing that sucked was until from the 300 back to the start there was a really big headwind. That sure slowed me down a bit. By the last lap my split was was a 3:33. I was still feeling really good but I just didn't have that urgency to start pushing all out. I picked up the pace just a bit and crossed the line in 4:40. That's kinda slow for me but I don't really care. I didn't have the racing mentality. Cooled down to 6 with Eric.

Headed over to Sky View at about 8:45 to register and warmup. Ethan was supposed to be there so we could run this together but he was lazy and slept in. Did a mile and a half warmup. Everything felt really good, and my new Kinvara's felt good too. When I got back everybody was walking to the start line, so I didn't have time to get some water but that's fine. When we started, the first half mile of the course was up hill, but I'm way glad that was at the beginning instead of part way through it. I could tell in the first 15 seconds of the race that I wasn't going to have anybody staying with me. I created such a big gap between second place and I, it felt like I wasn't even racing. The downhill felt real nice and I just focused on striding and keeping good form. Felt really good the whole race and ended up with a 16:59. I'll take it. Later I cooled down a mile and a half with Claire along one of the trails by the canal. When we got back her mom insisted that Hayden and I go with them to get a shake from McDonalds. That was super nice of her. 

Later in the afternoon I did 4.5 in Nibley to finish with 10.5 for the day.
