am- wow coach wasn't there this morning and so everybody was going super slow. 

pm- Well I am pretty butt-hurt right now and here is why. So today was early-out day and I ate lunch later than usual(this is important for later in my story) and then I went home and read a book, which actually was pretty good(the book is "Tuesday's with Morrie", it is quite inspirational) but then I fell asleep. I wake up to my mom saying "Dallen!" and I knew exactly what was goin' on. I was freakin late to practice! AN HOUR LATE!!! Oh I show up and Coach Holt just laughs and tells me the workout. So the workout was 3x1600's @ 93% and that did not happen espeacially since I was running on my own. I ran a 5:08 the first and a 5:16 the second. Then the third I was on pace for my goal pace(5:01) for a couple laps but after the third lap I was way behind so I just dropped. Plus with my lunch being later than usual I think you can figure out why I dropped! Then I tried to do 2x300's all out and did a 44 and a 46. Oh I am just soooo freakin mad that I slept in. And I really wanted to slug Hell Raiser in the face when he asked how my book was, And now I feel like I am gonna pass out cause it was sooo hot outside today!!

WORD OF THE DAY: my word of the day today is "Jeremiad" cause my homie J-word Jason used it in his blog. Sounds like a mad germ but Idk.

am- nice easy run out to starbucks like usual

pm- Wow what a day for a workout. So Coach gave all the guys and girls who qualified for state a super dope duffel bag so I am totally gonnna qualify for state this weekend in the 3200m which is the only event I am doing again:) Anywho, the workout today was 10x400's @ race -3secs(recovery 2min first four, 1.5min next three, 1min last three). So for me on the 400's was 69. So we start out and my legs were a lil' sore but no worries people, I did not give up! At first I just thought I will go right with Preston. And that worked cause we had the same time. So the first five reps were 70, 68, 68, 68, and 69. Then Preston was starting to start faster but I would serge hard with 150m left and finish right next to him. So that was what happened the rest. Reps were 69, 69, 69, 69, and another 69. A great workout today, I am really happy with how I have really came back from a crappy start to track season. I think I just wasn't in the right mental state. And then at the Ultraspire meet over at D-hills I guess I decided to get my head out of my butt! haha alright that's it for today.

WORD OF THE DAY: my word for today is "cheater" cause Coach Holt can give you a good talk about what that is;) Wow it is so asinine when people cheat, honestly!

am- nice easy morning run and it is sooo nice in the morning!

pm- So we passed out flyers for the running center out in Coral Canyon area and so we just ran the route and then did some running around up there. So weird, my back was hurting which has never happened before but it was just for a little bit. oh well! Nice run and I found out that Alek Parsons from Ogden is running in the 3200m this weekend! I am gonna be in the same race as Parsons?!? oh man its gonna be dope. 

WORD OF THE DAY: in honor of my homie Connor Baller, today's word is "asinine" and I do know what that means and it is an adjective and is used to describe something that is absolutely stupid or like evil, haha or more like "satan" type things;) it is a word that is common in Holts vocabulary.

Sorry for the late post, I was watching "Big Hero 6" which was absolutely amazing! I love it, so beast

am- good morning, I feel real good. we found a sky-ball on the run and played around wid it and it was super dope!

pm- I stayed at the high school and ran wid the freshies again. This very attractive girl said hi to me in the parking lot so that was cool. Anywho, we ran out to the cave and went in and it was super cool, really warm which was weird. Nice run, but it rained at the end and the wind made it super cold.

Well I don't know what is up with me! oh the race was good for the first 1600, came across at 4:56. Then I let myself fall off that group and that's what killed me. Oh freakin heck! I gotta get my head out of the controls and let my heart take me where I want to go! It wasn't a bad race, but i very well know that I could have done better so that is always annoying. But i am now just gettting ready to qualify at the Herriman Twlight Invite which is gonna be soo dope! racing at night is so fun. 

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "smash" and I don't know how to do this the impressive way but if you want to see it, go watch the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs! It is so dope! I just watched the Islanders vs Capitals game and wow it was crazy
