am- 6.75 miles/ 51 min with 25 min tempo and striders. Today went awesome actually. I was a little nervous on how 25 minutes of tempo would go but I thought if the level 3 guys are going 40 minutes tempo, i dont need to be scared. So we start and the first lap and a half we were chillin at 6:15/6:20 pace and then the lead guys started to slow up and so I thought now is the time to lead. I jumped out and wow I felt like I was just floating across the ground! I felt amazing so I pushed the pace to 6:00 for the next 2 laps. Then I wanted to go faster cause i just felt great so i went 5:50/5:45 pace and then I think the level 3 guys were mad at me for picking the pace up when they had 15 min more. Thats when coach said to just go out for the last minute or so and that was the tempo. After that I was just wishing that it would have been a race! I was flying.

pm- 4.69 miles/ 37 min E. Ran out to the running center and tried out some racers. Hayden Hawks was helping me out with that. That guy is awesome. After I tried out all of the racers, he talked to me about my potential and that was a HUGE mental booster to me. After what he said to me about how Cam Levins became who he is now, I was just thinking about our team and winning state and nationals. Wow it really isnt that far out of our reach, we just gotta believe!

am- 5.65 miles/ Time Trial #1, 45 min total. Time Trial!!! So we start and I jumped out with the lead pack. We get to the hill and I had planned to use the hill to me advantage. It sooo worked! I was starting to fall off but on the hill I zoomed right up and actually got right in first with Nick! it was sweet! So I just did that every lap and it worked like a charm. I was going with Jason and then Jason caught up to logan and they battled it out for the last little bit. I tried to get past Jason but he took off. Then Cam out sprinted me at the end so I finished as our 7th guy. Felt great to have that varsity spot but we will find out who is varsity at Cedar. Our spread was legit tho! 22 seconds for 1-7 guys!

pm- 3.52 miles/ 30 min E. Met at coaches house and ran out under the highway and through the red hills. Pool party afterwards! $WAG

6.24 miles/ 5x1200 @ 89% w/ 3 min rec - 10 warm/cool to time. So I woke up and I was super sore! So we start and I just hoped in behind Andrew and Cam in the front. Our first repeat ended up being 4:58. Then Logan showed up to practice and he is good and pushing the pace, so our next repeat was 4:51. Then I just started to zone out the pain I was getting from my legs from soreness and I lead with Cam, Logan, and Paul the last three ones at 4:47, 4:41, and then 4:44. My goal pace was supposed to be 4:51. Great workout even though my legs were sore out of my mind!

Guys night at Cam's. We went over goal stuff and then had a party. Cedar is gonna be good, I'm feeling it!

7.75 miles/ 60 min with strong finish. Nice chill run out on the river trail. The strong finish felt like we were going "fast" chill but it was 5:45 pace average for the last 10 minutes. Jarron stayed up with me while Mitch and Macen fell back a lil. I was proud of Jarron for goin with me and talked to him about his potential as a freshman coming in to this season.
