"If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail"-PRE

am- the usual

pm- wow a bad race for many reasons but I got a nice shirt for being top 6 so that was cool.

am- beast run from the hotel out to this trail that was super dope! yeah that's all I can say. We found a tree swing and we all tried it but Hell Raiser didn't cause he has his hip hurtin' like a motha.... poor guy

am- the usual stuff of the morning. I like mornings cause of the great weather

pm- today was 1x1000@ racing, then 300, 200, 100 sprints. The 1000 was okay, I kinda sat back til 300m left and then sprinted in and finished 2nd. then I redeemed myself on the sprints with a 44 for the 300, a 28 for the 200, and a 13 for the 100. Solid workout today and I felt aiight.

am- nice easy peasy tweasy measley run.

pm- We did the pre-race for tomorrow which is region!!! so dope I am super pumped. we ran out to the Nisson Park and then ran on the trail down there. I found this super cool hide-out and so Skylar and Andrew and I checked it out so the rest of the run we ran on our own. Got back and did 4x200s and then it was the youngsters track meet. I wish I coulda ran it cause they got dope medals. 

am- Nice chill morning. After the run my momma trimmed up my hair all nice!

pm- I went over to the region meet and ran with the Warbeast and Math-Addict Mitch and Andrew joined us too. Great to be able to just go do a chill run. Got some grass running in too so that was good. Some great races from everybody with the 1600m. Thats all I watched before I left to my house.

WORD OF THE DAY: from his amazing 1600m race, today's word is "abel". Now you may be thinking that I spelled that word wrong, but my brotha from another motha Skylar Abel was a beast today and ran a 4:35, which is a PR. He does not have a blog but he is still a beast.

am- nice easy stuff. Im ready for today's race! super pumped.

pm- YES!!!! I am sooo happy right now. So the meet got delayed cause of lightning and i started thinking wow this is gonna be a long day. But then 20 minutes later we were out and warming up to race. I ate a sandwich during the wait which will be back later in this entry. So we get out there and I am now pumped again to race. Bang! and we were off. I made sure that I would not go out crazy cause I would fall off. Instead I stayed right behind Eric, Josh, Spencer and Preston. So the first mile went by and we were at 4:53! Oh yeah I was feeling it and I knew it. So at this point I was thinking I would just qualify by time not place, and so I really was pushing hard to be on pace. I made sure that I wouldn't fall off hardcore like I have always. But then I started hurting bad on the 7th and my sandwich was wanting to come back up for some fresh air so somethin?! haha that's when Mckaid form CV passed me fast. But I went after him and thats when I realized that I was gonna have to qualify by place cause my 7th lap was soo slow. And then God gave me a pretty great gift: Eric was falling off hard core! I passed him and then Coach was like "you cant let him beat you!" and I went nuts. I was gone like a mad man and finished 4th. Last spot for state. Wow I was just so overwhelmed with happiness and relief, it was like a words can't explain moment. So now it is all in for state. I am glad I have this opportunity to race so I gotta give it all.

pm- No more morning runs so that's why if ya all wondering. Today we went out to the Virgin and did a few fartleks too. We found a tennis ball and after the run we played wall-ball. Today was just chill and dope!

pm- Today Coach just said to get in a 30-45 minute run so my bro Devo and I went down to the Virgin and looped up on 2450 east and it was a great run. Saw like usual weird stuff ya see at the Virgin on a Saturday afternoon....yeah. Wow great weather tho it is so beautiful, I am lovin' the rain instead of the heat. its great!

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "mowing" cause that is what I saw at the Virgin and that is what I did three times today... but what I did was a different mowin' then the peeps at the Virgin. Mowin' means to be in the act of mow, which is to cut down with a machine. Ex: Definition Dallen was mowing his lawn today.

pm- so today was a nice day. we had 4x400's at goal race pace. So it was Alex, Preston, Andrew, Nick and I running it together. The first was right on what we wanted: a 1:13. Then the second was quicker than we were supposed to: 1:10. And then we did it again: a 1:10. And the last one felt just like the second and third besides the push at the end but turned out to be a 1:05! So that was pretty kewl. We did it in our spikes and yeah. A nice chill day and my lil' sister came wid the youngsters so I am pretty proud of her!

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "wind" because it was pretty windy today, I'm not gonna lie! Wind is a vibration of air and known for its lameness when running into it in a track workout or race.... espeacially a race actually! Ex: A cold gust of wind ripped brittle brown leaves from the limbs of old oak tree, tossing them carelessly in front of the headstone below.

pm- today we did some good ol' Master-blasters and they were great! I really have been working hard on my crappy form, and it has been good. I really have a slow turn-over so I have tried to just pick up my feet right when I hit the ground and it was good. And our team of Jacey, J-word Jason and I won the Master-Blasters so that was pretty great. then we all put the hurdles and high jump and everything away in the dungeon. Wow it is so crazy that this year is over, kinda sad. I have had a blast this sophmore year but its time to move onto the next year. Cross Country is why I am happy this year is ended, but thats prolly it.

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is kind of a mind blowing word if you think about it in a crazy way, and the word is "time". Time is the continuing process of exsistance throughout past, present, and future. Time has no beginning and no end. Ex: I learned about time in Physics this year and that is one of the many things that just blew up my mind.  

pm-  today we did a the usual shoe run and it was awesome. I felt a lil' sore today but nothing serious. Anywho, after the run, we did a 300, 200, and 100 meter sprints with spikes on. I did good, the 300 was 44sec, the 200 was probs a 28, and the 100 was 13ish. I didnt have a watch so I didn't know my other sprint times. Solid day. Wow I feel relieved but stressed out at the same time? I guess I'm just realizing that the year is over and I have had a hard time with some friends at school. I hate drama. Okay thats what I gotta say, I wanna go to bed.

WORD OF THE DAY: todays word is "sleep" because I need some of it. Sleep is the condition of resting the mind, soul, and physical well beings! Ex: I want to go sleep with a sheep on a steep..... okay thats all.

pm- a nice shake out at Provo high and dang they have a nice track and a steeple chase thing so that was super cool! Cool stuff coming tomorrow at state, its gonna be awesome

am- ran on the Byu track before the meet started and it was great. Decent weather.

am- So this is it for the season. Wow the weather couldn't have been worse... okay jk it coulda been worse so I guess I will be thankful. But it was super cold. We warmed up on the Ted Bundy Trail. Got back and Preston and I were just trying to keep warm. Watched AA win the 5A and after Preston and I went over to the bathrooms before we had to go in the tent thing. On our way tho we ran into AA and wow she is a cutie!! Dang too bad she's already taken. Anywho we get to the start and were off. I got a decent start. The race went good for the first 3 laps and then I guess I lost focus for a couple laps and after I was just trying to get back in the pack. I didn't get um but I did pass a Park City dude at the end which made me really happy! 

So the race didn't go as well but I was glad that I got to have that experience. I am happy that I was able to come back from a rough start. Well see ya all in June!
