But I am not settling for one win against one team. I want the best for our team. We can do it! HUZZAH!!!!

Frustrating. Then the 400s were supposed to be 1:16s and 600s were supposed to be 1:56. I went 1:13, 1:17, then 1:56. Second set was fresh, 1:15, 1:14 and then beasted with the last and got 1:54. I felt refreshed after the 1200s, those were just off. I was scared to go into the pain.....shame. Oh well, ya learn the goods and the bads:) Tough workout, but accomplishing!

am- 2 miles/ 15 min E with weights. The usual snuffy stuffy!! I need to start doing situps every night

WORD OF THE DAY: "busy" for all the crap I have been catching up. The goal is to never get 2.5 days behind again on this blog. Busy is an adjective, describing someone who is "caught up" with something. Ex: I got busy today joining all these random clubs at Club Rush, one being the Vegan Club......hehe yes apparently we have one of those at PVHS.

am- 3.29 miles/ 25 min E.Nice chill run. There was a road cleaner car that was creating a freakin' geyser out of the side of the vehicle. It was epic

pm- 8.01 miles/ 55 min E with striders. Nice solid run, we ran out into washington and up to Fire station. We jumped into the Boilers, sickest place ever! Definitely new fav run.

am- 6.25 miles/ 45 min total; SUU Invite, warmup/cool. So today was a pretty freaking awesome day if you ask me. So the race starts and I was slow getting out. I dont know what it was, I just didnt move. Weird. But eventually I got into position with Mitch, Julien and Carson. We worked together to pass up the Canyon View dudes and Jensen Lambert. Then it was just PV and Dhills and Caleb the new guy from Idaho who runs with Hurricane. Btw he is a cool guy, I hope to get to know him. Anywho, I wanted to go after Bryson but I didnt move at the right time and so I didnt get that chance. Bumma. But I finished in with Mitch and got 7th. Sick race for us, we packed pretty well, but we talked on how we need to improve a few things. But it was still good, we went 4, 6, 7, 8, 9. And Logan was 11 so that was good. Xander had a bad day, he was like 20th i think. Good day, we were 2nd to Dhills, beat us by 4. It was fun, I am pumped for this whole season.

am-10.55 miles/ 80 min Aerobic Run w/ 6-10x100m hills. What a run! So we ran up on top of Foremaster again, back down the other side. Then we went down onto the River trail. Once we got back to the neighborhoods, we did our hill workout. We did ten 100m hill repeats and that was good. I felt good. I tried to go faster that second half of the hill, train for the races ya know. Good run. 

pm-3.41 miles/ 25 min E. Wow we were cruising on this run, got .2 farther than our usual distance for this run. We just did the usual route of Arctic Circle.

am- 2 miles/ 15 min E with weights. Nice chill run today. I tried to dead lift 2 plates of 45 on each side. That hurt my back real bad.

pm- 7.73 miles/ 60 min E. Wow this run was very hard. We went down onto the river trail and back. But I was tired from the monday long run so it was rough. And hot. Wow what a day.

am- 3.28 miles/ 25 min E with pylos. Good run, I found a Walmart shopping cart with like 800m left on the run, so I pushed it all the way back with Spencer in it! It was a party. Then did plyos. Beast morning.

pm- 8.11 miles/ 65 min total; 15min warm then 5x100 striders, then 5x1000 w/3:30min rec, cool to time. Oh man, the workout. So our goal time for the 1000s was 3:26, so 5K pace. We did the first and it hurt my sore legs. But the time was good: 3:26. Second was crappy, slowed down in the 500-600meter section for sure. time was 3:28 on that one. Next was a 3:26, good but tough. Then 3:25 and was hard but once again good. Then Coach said if you felt like pushing yourself go for one more 1000, and if not go for a 600 repeat and then a 400 repeat. So Carson, Mitch, Nathan and I went for another 1000 and it was good. We pushed together real good and got 3:24. Hard, especially with only 4 guys, but still a good push. Good day, hard but ya gotta love um, its what gets ya stronger and better!

I am retiring from my definitions, so I can use that extra time to meditate and think on the great questions in life, and also to master my chakras.
