pm- So today we just did a 35ish minute run through dogtown loop and it was awesome. My legs are a little sore but other than that I feel great. I really am excited to see what I can do this track season. Big goals coming in so I'm ready to work harder than I was!

pm- So today we did a beaster trail out by Quail Lake and it was super fun! It was a ton of roller coasters and then the varsity guys and Josie went up to the top of the mountain and that was crazy. I just about died twice. But it was all worth it cause the view on top was beautiful. I love St George. And it was a 48 minute run.

pm- Today was a nice chill day out to chick-fa-la and round a corner and back. I was the only one who wanted to go longer so we only did a 40 minute run. I was a lil' bummed about that so I just tried to make our pace faster. It kinda worked out that way. Great weather today tho!

pm- Today we did the Kosmin Test and I felt pretty flat. I started out and I just kinda went but didn't really go after it. I was about 50 meters away from a full lap the first 60 seconds. Then I fell back on the second 60. The third I started getting back, and the last I was going and then I felt crappy and Mitch passed me and thats when I knew I needed to speed up. I got ahead of him and finished right behind Andrew. Not the best but it was just the start of track so I will work hard and be ready for the next one whenever it is.

am- I did the st george 5k with some other guys and I felt really good compared to yesterday. I did feel a little sluggish at the start but after I felt really good. I was running with Preston and we were just behind Cam and I tried to go after him but he had a decent lead on me so I finish a little bit behind him. And Alex went with me after Cam but I also left him but not by much. I love prizes tho!

am- first morning run and I felt pretty dang good. We went out a good distance and yeah.

pm- Repeats was the word on the track! it was just 85% today so my goal time was 5:39. Andrew and I were right at the same thing so that worked out nicely. We hit 5:38, 5:35, and finished with a 5:31! I really wanted to go with Nick up front but Andrew told me I was going way to fast so I calmed down. I was just really excited for our first workout!

pm- Ice House trail run!! I love ice house even tho it is death up that dang hill. On top is seriously amazing...besides all the dumb rocks you have to run on. Great run, its too bad that only Andrew, Preston, Nick, Jake, me, and coach were the ones who went out all the way. oh yeah I tripped on the fence we jump over and that was embarrassing.

pm- I went down on the virgin river trail and did my LT tempo there. My goal pace was 5:30. I decided to do two sessions of 7 and a half minute intervals. I was 5:35 pace on the first and 5:25 on the second. I was really feelin good tho. after the tempo, not so much. I got home and was at 50 minutes so I took the dog out for a run to finish off the 60 minutes.

pm- Mile repeats today, still at 85%. Goal time was a nice even 4:40! So coach did the workout with us today but he was up with Nick so he wouldnt be alone running 5:15's! What a beast Nick is. So Andrew and I were working together like usual and Jake came along too! My times were 5:39, 5:38, 5:36, and finished with a nice 5:33! I felt decent but I ate a lil' home lunch and a regular school lunch for lunch. Bad idea cause I just about tossed it up in the workout. After the repeats we did 2x300 all out! So beast, even tho I only ran 48s. I feel like my speed is starting to get better. Lookin' forward to the Root Beer Mile this friday. It is gonna be a legit race;)

am- Frisbee Tourney! so awesome even tho my team lost the first game it was super fun. 

pm- I didn't start til 5:45 and so it got dark and cold throughout my run. I went down to the virgin river trail again for my LT tempo and I split it up into two 7:30 parts with 5 min recovery. My paces were like 5:30 and then 5:25? I felt really good, and then I ran all over to get my 80 minutes total. and I got a new record on my watch.... longest run! 11 miles so that was cool. 

Goals for next week: I will do better to be taking in healthy stuff and vitamins. I need to do better on the hills.
