Check out my Mixtape

Reverse ladders on the track today. I was pretty excited to do that because I really like track workouts. Our first 4 laps were supposed to be our 5k pace plus 10 seconds. I went way faster then that. I was going pretty fast and finished my first mile in about 4:50. Sorry I don't have exact times and splits right now, my watch is acting up. I was feeling great though. I just kept trying to push myself throught the workout. I don't really remember anything to special about the 3 laps or 2 laps, but I do remember that on our 400 meter lap that it really sucked. I was sucking air. We had 200 meters to finish it off. Supposed to go all out. I felt like a sprinter on that because I was flying. Finished to off with a mile cooldown, and then ran barefoot .6 to get 6 miles. Really good workout today. Looking forward to the Alumni Meet on wednesday.

pm: 4 miles easy and it was fetchin hot. Hopefully I get used to the heat.

Easy 6 miles today. We have the Alumni Meet tomorrow, so hopefully I won't be sore because I want to do really good at that. I drank some water before I came to practice and I had a pretty bad sideache for about 4 miles. Near the end of the run I started feeling the effects of yesterdays workout. I think I will feel fine by tomorrow though.

Today was the Alumni Meet on the dreaded MC course. Went for a 15 minute warmup with hayden and did some strideouts. My knee was clicking and it was kind of uncomfortable. I was pretty anxious for this race for this whole week. As we started, Joe and I went out pretty quick and at the first mile I was a 5:31. After the hill coming off the dirt road, my body really tried to relax, and that just slowed me down a ton. That is the one place on the course that I need to push harder. Cemetery hill felt alright as I tried to attack every hill we ran on. It was really hot and I wasn't going as fast as I wanted to. I probably could have pushed harder for the last half mile. I ended up finishing with a time of 17:18. That's a P.R. on this course, and if you don't already know, that whole course is pretty much hills. Definitley one of the hardest courses in the state. I wasn't too happy with the time I got because I know I can do better, but it was okay and I had a good time running it. Shout out to Branson for pulling a Spencer and not showing up the whole summer and then coming in the top 5! He's gonna kill it this year.

Hill repeats today on Blacksmith Fork Hill. We had to do 8 of them which is the most we have ever done. First started with a 1 mile warmup to the canyon, did some stretching and then started running the hills. It was pretty tough and my knee kept on clicking so it was pretty annoying. My body feels pretty good from yesterday so I felt like I didn't need much of a recovery. So glad that that is the last time we have to run on that hill this summer. Easy cool down back to the school. Easy 3 tonight.

pm: Ended up getting 3.75 miles in the heat. I tried to get my little brother to come and run, but he kept saying we were going to fast and he just wanted me to go by myself so I did. One week until our first season race. Bring it on!

Today was the first time that I have ever run P-Vine. Everytime the team had run it this summer, I was gone. We ran it pretty easy, but my body hurt and I was really fatigued from yesterday. It was a really nice run though. It had some long rolling hills. Got some cinammon roles and water when we got back to the stake center. Dellan and his mother made them the night before. Can't believe we half less then a week of summer left. Gonna go to Crystal hotsprings with some friends tonight and enjoy the rest of my summer. Peace.

Today we ran the Beaver Mountain Varsity Relay. Basically you have partner and you run while they bike for 10 minutes and then you switch off after the 10 minutes are over. We had an odd number of girls, so I got 2 girls in my group whcihc meant that I would only get to bike a third of the time. I ran pretty far in head of my group so when it was my turn to bike, I just kept on running. We were running to an area where a plane crashed a long time ago. The way up it was mostly long inclines. It was a bout a 6 mile trip up. By the time we got back to the bottom and I got a bit of time to bike, I ended with 10.5 miles. Great time to bond with the team. After some other kids and I went to Branson's house and swam it his pool. Then we went to coach Don's for a varsity barbeque. Then after that went to Eric Laub's for the big end of summer bash party. It was awesome! Great day of parties!
