am- nice easy peasy 30 min and it ended up being 3.93 miles, to be exact!

pm- monday and a great set of mile repeats! It was 85%, so my goal time was 5:40. We started out a little quick at a 5:36. Then we just kept it there for the next two, 5:37 and 5:36. Then the last all of us pushed a little harder and I got a 5:32! I felt great, a little tight but nothing bad. Then we put in a couple 300's for speed stuff. My first was bad, I got a 48. I wasn't turning over fast enough. Then after watching Paul really kill his first 300, I tried my best to imitate his quick turn over. I got a 46! It was awesomeness:) We had weights after and I upped my squat and bench weight so I feel super buff!

Beast and Feasts after and those are always super dope!

am- easy peasy 4 out to Starbucks and back. I feel good.

pm- 7.21 miles total and 50 minutes. Today was tempo and wow what a workout. I was right up in the front pack and then after about 13 minutes I started to fall off and then with 16 minutes in I pushed back up and lead the pack with Coach til the end of our 18 min tempo..... but pysch! It was supposed to be 20 minutes and everybody fell off and so Coach and I finished the last 2 minutes and that was good. I was hurtin but definitely felt awesome after cause I really had a great second half finish and was able to get back up with the guys.

pm- Today we did the good ol' washington fields loop! Dang I was really happy we had a chill run today. My legs were definitely tired from the tempo yesterday. Good running from everybody as we come into track season. It is gonna be legit! I am wanting to go for some big stuff this track season with the 3200, I love that one btw. We did striders after the run too. Oh we saw a gnarly crash on industrial today and one of the cars looked like my dads! But no worries, it wasn't!

pm- So I started from my house and ran over to the high school and then down to the sullivans park and ran the tempo on the trail. It was soo dang hot! Oh man I was dying. This time I split up my 15 minutes of tempo into a 9 min and a 6 min with a 3 min recovery. I went about 5:30 and then 5:20 with the pace. Then I looped up to the telegraph and ran all the way back to artic circle and then to my church building and back to the house! What a run. I stopped in the Running Center to check out if they had any shoes that were dope. I found some but I didnt like the price.

am- Wow it was sure warm this morning! 

pm- Oh today was awesome! Mile repeats at 87% so my goal time was 5:33. So we start out and Andrew and I get a 5:32! But the next one I had a really bad side ache to the point were I was tilting hard to my right cause it hurt super bad. I just pushed through it and still hit a 5:34. Then the next was awesome and we were rotating leaders for each lap which was fun and helpful. The time on that one was 5:31. And then the last started out with a quick lap lead by Jake and then it was just flyin' around the track the rest of the time:) 5:22! Super great. Then we did 2x300's and I got a couple 46's for that. I am feeling my speed coming to me. I am super excited for some racing comin' up! Time to BeastandFeast! And we did weight after and I am sooo swol;)

Well I have not posted in a while cause I was a lil' behind in school and then I got sick so the last week has been pretty much heck in a bucket. Naawww what really was bad was when I went to get my dog to go run today since I feel better finally, there was a dead mouse IN his drinking water bucket!!!! SUPER SICK! I basically barfed my face off but not really. Anyways, I didnt even take my dog on the run because I was scared he drank from the bucket and was going to get me sick again but with something WAY worse. Yeah, then I went running out through the 2140 east park, down the alley where the one kid gave the driver guy some birds, if ya know what I mean;) and then I went up through the park right by millcreek and over to Fossil and back up to my house. People were honking at me but my blindness is getting worse so I could not even see what their probably beautiful faces looked like...... Well that is my story for today and the past week or so. Tchau

am- Today was pretty cold on the Dallen Scale, coming in at a double shirt day temperature. Wow we were really flyin' today with Josie up with us! We hit a new record for farthest distance goin out: Starbucks:)

pm- Another recovery day which was nice cause I think that after this one I am ready for a workout and thats what Coach said we are gonna do! Perfect! Today's events of the decathlon was the 110 hurdles, 200m, and the high jump. My 110 time was 21.57, and 200m time was 28.9. And the high jump was taking forever so Nick, Cam, and I went on the track and talked about some beasts that did/do the high jump like Adam Timo(now he is Adam Hine) and Chandler Swaney and the Lehi guy @ the PV invite last year. Then after forvever I jumped in and just jumped once cause I really didn't want to wait. I hit 4' 6''. And then we all ran around the school to finish the total 60 minutes. Weights after, I was a lil' sore for that.

pm- Well today in the decathlon was the discus throw, 100m dash and the long jump. Wow I really am glad I do distance. I suck at all the other stuff. I threw 58' 7'' on the discus and then did the 100m in 14.33 and the long jump was kinda sad how short I jumped...... 11' 10''...... yeah. Well after we went to the old youngsters hill and did some hard core repeats. Wow it was good to be back, I miss that hill:) after we went down to the park by milcreek and saw some peeps making out, so that was interesting. We looped up to Wells Fargo and across to Harts and back down to the great PVHS. Great day today, but I am not so happy with a lot of people being in bad moods. If your gonna come to track, be dang happy! oh well I just gotta get that out there.
