RACE DAY!!! alright so the mile was soo sick! so we start and I didnt want to have to lead a pack against the wind, so i just tagged behind Jake Taylor and Krenny for the first two laps and then I was done doing that so I went after Jason Hall and the other 3 lead guys. Then I felt the wind but coach was right there and told me to get jason so i just kept pushin. When the last lap came I was wantin to break 5 soo bad and I felt somethin in me and i took off! the lead group was a ways ahead, but once i got out of the wind i just went into a mad sprint after the 4 guys. The closest guy was about 20 meters ahead but I finished 2 meters behind him! it was crazy! I dont know what time i got but i will post it when i find out.

THe 800 was funny cause I didnt know how to run it so i just thought to go all out the whole time....i was wrong:) I started out right at the back of the lead pack of 8 or 9 guys and i was flyin! and then the second lap came and I was like " oh crap!" I had gone so crazy on the first i didnt have much left for the second. I finished with good ol Mitch right behind me and when we finished we just laughed cause we both knew that we had no idea how to run a 800:) I dont know my time for this one either but will post it as soon as possible

am- we did the mile repeats today and I didnt think i was gonna do that great because saturday I banged up my knee pretty bad. But none the less, i decided to make the best of the workout.  So we started and i was supposed to get 5:43 pace per mile. My first was 5:39 and I was like "alright! lets do this workout like a boss!" Then i just got better and better for the next/last three. 5:38, 5:34, and finished with a 5:31. Coach was disappointed with the performance of others so I will remember that when I fill like giving up in workouts and races and I will remember that if we want to build something great @ pine view that its going to take all of us to do it! DI warn and cool down. Total--8.75 miles

pm- I went running around and brought Kaelie with me:) she is gonna be running with me this week and i will make sure of it! she needs to start running again so why not right now?! so we didnt get three miles in but we got the striders in so yeah. Total--3 miles

am- we did a 10 miler with 20 minutes of tempo AT to LT progression. it was actually really good! i felt a little negative at first but i thought if i want to perform well later i gotta work now. I think thats what my motivation is for everything. If i want a nike nationals title with our varsity team i got to work my butt off. Anyways, i finished the tempo with Cam and we were right behind Paul. that felt pretty good even thou he might have not had the best run i felt good:)

pm- we hiked Shinob Kibe as a family and i ran it. it was only a mile thou but we went to the park after and did games involving very mucho exercising so yeah!

am- today was 4 miles easy with 4x200 on the track.  I felt great this morning! i dont know whats up, i have felt great every single morning run we have had this week. prolly cause its not hot so i better start hydrating a ton. 

well i didnt run but my fam and i went on a 7 or more mile bike ride and for mutual we hiked the temple quarry trail so that was a good substitute for it:)

am- i didnt wake up on time for team practice so i got my litl' sister Karissa to come with me. so we ran the 2 miles of warm up and when i started the 6x400 on the track i was so tired i wasnt going to do the last 4 of them. Then when i said to her that we were just going to go home now, she said,"Dallen we are not going to leave until you finish your workout! OKAY?!?" haha ten points for Karissa for gettin me to do my workout! Total miles--5.25

pm- I ran with my dog around the neighborhood. Total miles--3

I ran 3 miles around costco and few other places and then came home to get my dog to run the last 2 miles with me. he stopped once because he was being lazy and didnt want to run, but i pulled him up and continued our run without another stop.

so today i didnt get the full 8.75 because i showed up late coming from an ortho appointment but i got back right in time for the workout, which i kinda wished i would have had a warmup:)  so my goal time was 5:41 ithink and we started out and i was still feelin my strong paces from last week and so i started out at 5:33! yeah i felt that was a good start and even though it was faster than usual i can go more. so the next i was dumb and let the pain get to me and so i got 5:43. the next i still felt a litl' sore so i got 5:40. the last i felt was pretty strong but i kinda relaxed too much and let Jason, Logan, and Josh pass me at the end. and the time i was looking for didnt come; i got 5:42. but i will just look at this workout and say,"i will always run my warmup and cooldown so i dont get sore and all that crap.

am- easy 3 with the team, almost late but i got there.

pm- easy 4 with striders. i was feeling sick during 2nd period so my mom came and checked me out so i could go home. it was my stomach. i came home and right when i got in bed, my stomach felt like, as Jason would say,"a little viking was just in there trying to pop and explode open my stomach!" but yeah i felt way crappy and then i fell asleep. woke up and felt great so i went to the high school so i could get all my gear out of my locker so i could go running, cause the team was all done when i got there. but yeah at 8sih i took my little sister for 3 miles, did the striders at the high school with the soccer game going, went home and then took my dog for the last mile.

am- artic circle 3 mile morning run

pm- today was 4x800 @ 1600 race pace.  So i was supposed to go like 2:28 for my goal time but i didnt do that great.  the first was 2:34 and i finished like behind everybody. i was mentally not there. i was dwelling on the negatives of doing this workout i didnt realized that i could give more. the second was 2:33. i still was a little negative and then i remembered what Coach had said to us during spring break when we did the mile repeat workout; about we need to come to practice and give our best to the workout, even if your legs hurt and other crap, your mind needs to be always positive. So the next one for the first 400 i started out strong and was behind preston i believe.  Then the last 400 i just started pushin and passed preston and finished after Paul and Uncle Drew. then the last one i went "very strong" and finished 7ish seconds behind Uncle Drew. it felt good to finish behind them. 5.25 miles

so today was the Hurricane invite so i was soo happy to get checked out of school early.... well turned out that the announment came for track to go outside for the bus to leave but me, Josie, and mitch didnt hear it because we were outside for PE and weight training:) so we didnt get on the bus so Josie called her dad picked us up and Josie barely got in time for her race. so i didnt even know what race i was running in so when i found out that i was running the 800, i just went on a tempo run with preston, colton, and josh. we went out to the very end of hurricane and i found out that there was a hurricane airport. sad that i didnt know that when i have lived in southern utah all my life. on the way back from the turn-around we did the 10 minute progression tempo
