Finally we start! that break felt long. Started with a .5 warm up barefoot and other warmup crap.  We had a great turnout first day! prolly 100 runners+ it was great to actually see some sophmores out besides me and mitch:)  We went 30 mintues which turned out to be 4. Me and Trev and Colton lead and we were going pretty fast! I just feel great and I'm ready to go ham this cross season.

Barefoot warm up(0.5) and then did a run out on tortoise trail out for a bit and back. We did a faster finish than out so we went 16 min. out and 14 min. back. I was a lil' sore at the start cause i forgot to stretch but i stetched today after.  Today was also the first week of kids club and i got the 1st and 2nd boys and they are the BEST! hilarious quotes by lil' guys like one kid said he hated Pine View and didnt know why he was there. Then another lil dude said,"hey mmy dad is 14 and he could beat you up!" and then all the boys were creeped out cause the kid said his dad was 14:)

Today we did 35 minutes and we ended up going 5 miles.  Me and Trev were pushin the pace(it was mainly him though) so we averaged a pace of 7:30. It was a great run though and i wish were going to race soon! I miss racing. Wasn't sore today but i definitely need new running shoes cause i have worn out my nikes soo bad.

It was a good recovery-type day today from going up a lil' yesterday. We did a grass run at the Veterans park and it was great, but there were some weird people watching us run there. they were prolly checkin out our legs;) good run and great for the newer guys to be up with the rest of us. streched real good after.

Did a 40 minute run today with a strong finish. Practice out at PIne View Park in the fields. Great run, Coach, Trev and me lead and it was cool. We were going a steady 7:30 pace and then went down to 6:40ish pace to finish.  Great run but my foot started hurtin so i will ice tonight!

Good to be back. Small than when i left but still a big group. We did the tempo at the dirt mile and i lead with preston, alex, nick and cam but with 2 minutes left my "out-of-shapeness" got to me and i fell back a couple meters but right at the end of my tempo i caught up to them. Great run but i need some new shoes cause it hurt to run because i have worn out my shoes so bad!

am- great easy run today. a lil' sore from yesterdays workout but after running for a bit it was gone. When we were running back we passed Alli who wasnt at practice and she was in the car with her dad going somewhere. What a slacker!

pm- Met at Pauls house and ran up to Sandbergs. It was actually not that hot this afternoon! Watched the Brazil Mexico world cup game after and they ended in a draw.

pm- So i missed when the guys went running so i had to run with Kaelie and she is not in shape! We went 9:50 pace and it was a pretty boring run.

am- Today was the 45 minutes E w/ strong finish and wow what a run. We went through the jungle it seemed like running on that trailish thing:) When us level 2 guys started our tempo, some didnt realize we were doing it, so it was basically just Alex, Jarron and me. We were going 6min pace and then Alex threw in a surge and then we just had fun with it. Finished at 5:30 min pace! Dang these 2 freshies are gonna be good!

am- today was 45 min. with 15 min tempo. Great workout for me today. I started out in front for the first 9 minutes. Then when i started feeling like falling off, i remembered what coach said last week on thursday which was somethin like ''We have gone this far in the workout, finish it strong and dont let the pain get you.'' I jumped up and would kinda lag a lil' but kept pushin and finished the tempo with the top 5 guys. great run overall. My knee was startin to hurt, so i will ice for sure.  

pm- 30 min E. Jogged around the hood with my dog. My ankle started to hurt but it went away after a minute or two. Good run but it sure is hot!

am- today was 35 min. E with the 6 minute Test! Dang i loved this run today a lot! I was feelin great and the six minute test came and i pushed and tried to stay as relaxed as possible. I was 4th for the guys at one point but finished 6th behind Nick, Paul, Logan, Cam, and Preston along with Andrew right behind me. Great day at lil kids club except for when a guy in our group started attacking other boys and choked a few of them!

pm- 30 min. E. nice run with Mitch. Felt real chill and got a good nap in today and so that was real nice!

am- 6.3 miles/ 30 min. E and 20 min. grass

We did the parkway loop up to Maverick and down the hill and 'round back. I wore my asics shoes cause i thought it was gonna be a short run in shoes and long in grass. oh well i had to deal with it. Anyways, we went to the baseball fields and ran on the biggest one and talked as a team about staying healthy and other good stuff!

pm- 3.33 miles/ 30 min. E

am- 5.58 miles/ 45 min. with strong finish

Okay todays run was my favorite run ever! those tunnels are so dope. went out to dino tracks but us level 2 guys had to cut the loop short cause we were going 15 minutes shorter than the level 3 guys. Good run but my knee is still doing the same thing which is hurting right after we finish our runs. I dont know if its i just have bad knees genetically cause its been goin on for a year or two and my dad doesnt think its anything.

am- 5.01 miles/ 40 min. with 5x4:30 cruise

So i couldnt go to the Bloomington park to practice there because i have a HOpe squad thing so i ran by myself at the field behind panorama to get the same type of experience as the team out at the park. The 5x4:30 cruise went good but it was hard to run on my own. I was a 6 min pace the whole thing though so it was good. 

Had some extra time before i had the HOPE squad thing so i did yoga with Fiji! it felt sooo good.

am- .5 warm up as usual and then the workout: 6.8 miles/ 50 min with 20 min of tempo. Wow what a great mental booster today! so we did the usual tempo at the dirt mile but a lil' longer (20min) and a few guys were gone. So we start out and andrew was pushing jason and skylar to go with him and they were going. After 11 minutes everybody had fell off but me and coach just pushed with me at a 6 min pace and yeah i felt great! I was doing a great job of controling my breathing and was trying my best to bring my hips up and not let them drop. Good solid run today for me but it was sad to see everybody fall off. just a bad day for others though.

pm- 3.3 miles/ 30 min E; Met at Skylars house and went on the trail that they are making from sullivans to hells hole and i got eaten alive by those dang flies! when we got done running we went swimming in his pool and Momma Abel got us lunch. It was awesome!
