Check out my Mixtape

So this morning my alarm went off at 5:30 and I was so dang tired, I decided that I would snooze for like 2 minutes. After what felt like 2 minutes I checked my clock and it was 6:20! I shot out of bed so quick and got dressed and drove straight to where I knew that we were doing our workout. I sped to Lincoln elementary and thank goodness, the team was still in the circle stretching and taking care of team business. I told my coach what happened, and that I would make up the miles I missed. 

The workout today was doing figure 8's on the grass with our spikes on. We run at our 5k pace for 3 minutes, and jog for 2 minutes. That's one set. We would do that 5 times. It was a pretty good workout. My average pace for my 5k speed was around high 4's and low 5's. So I felt good about it. Good to see Hayden out getting to run. Joe did really good today as well. Drove back to the school and did 2.5 miles on the track. Tonight I will do 3 or 4 miles.

Easy 5 miles this morning on Nibley Dip. We have tryouts tomorrow and I want to P.R. on my 10k, so hopefully I will be feeling good tomorrow. After I went to ball in Hyrum and the stake center, but nobody looked like they were there so I didn't go in later finding out that there were people inside playing. Probably good for me that I didn't play. Knowing my luck I would have of shattered my femur. Sooo good thing I didn't play. Gonna do an easy couple miles tonight.

So I'm gonna put this as a race report because a couple of other kids and I raced it. Just a flat 6 mile run. Did a short warm up and 2 strideouts and they I lined up. Me and Joe got off to a pretty fast start. We settled in at a good pace at about 1.5 miles. I was feeling really good and started to get a lead by mile 2. Around mile 3 I was at a comfortable 5:40 mile pace. On the way back for the last 3 miles I was telling everybody good job and I was feeling really strong. With about a mile left I tried picking up the pace even more. I really was hoping to break 34 minutes and with a half mile left, I could tell that it was going to be close, so I picked it up even more. I ran strong all the way through the line but I ended up getting 34:04. I felt great physically and didn't even feel winded! Shout out to Hayden for running as fast as he did despite his injury. He killed it today. Shout out to Don with the wack username. Pron8r. hahahaha. Got and afternoon run. Heat of the day!

pm: Did 3.5 miles in the heat. I wasn't feeling like I had a ton of energy for I still felt alright. I stopped a few times under shaded areas to get a quick breather. I averaged about a 6:45 the whole time. I hope I feel well recovered by tomorrow because Don says we have a pretty good track workout that we are gonna do. I'm excited for that. I'm gonna kill it. Gonna go to Crystal Hotsprings in a bit. Hopefully that doesn't suck away my energy.

Well kind of a shor set back. I tried to jump out of the slide at Crystal Hotsprings last night and the way I tried to do it, I hurt my knee. Probably am going to need a couple days to recover. I need to stop being so stupid. It's frustrating when things like this happen. Hopefully it doesn't last too long.

Tried running really easy today. It feels okayish after all the icing that I have been doing. Hope that I will be back on track in no time.

Today we ran 10 in providence with some pretty big hills. My knee felt good probably because of all that icing I have been doing. I was pretty mad about the top 100 returning cross country boys in Utah list that milesplit just put out. My head coach never really put in any times from last season and I would've easily made that list. Makes me look real good. I'm gonna get that sorted out because that just makes me mad.
