am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and it's just another Manic Monday!! and we almost died twice, it was scary.

pm- 12.1 miles/ 85 min with 2x(1,2,1min fartleks) 4 min rec and striders and weights. Wow what a run. Monday long runs are so gnarly. We changed it up a lil' and went into Washington and looped through the new development and then to the top of green springs and over to the rich dudes. The huge house up on the top of Green Springs has a name!! Its name is Bramasole. So sick I think I will name my first-born son..... hopefully I have a son.... or get married..... Anywho, the farkleks were good and the run was actually real nice. Weights after went good and I am feeling pretty fine.

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and the star were freakin' gorgeous!!

pm- 8 miles/ 60 min 1600, 1200, 1000, 800, 400 meter @ race pace w/ 3 min rec. So the Dixie Allcomers race was today so the varsity boys and girls ran the workout at 4. On my way over I was listening to "The eye of the Tiger" and it was freakin' awesome. Anywho, the workout went pretty well today, at least individually. As a varsity it wasn't the prettiest but we did run 12.1 miles yesterday so that is that. But yeah, the workout went well. After we made a sick cheer for the race and also played 4-square and it was kewl. And the ball went bouncing over to Laynee Wells and so I went over to get it and we spoke a few words and then she did a kewl trick and yeah. She is pretty and kewl so I'm thinking that I should go strawberry emoji with that;) 

WORD OF THE DAY: the word is "absolve" because the big man Pope Francis came out and said that the priests can forgive the "sin of abortion" during the Holy Year. Absolve means to clear out or erase from recognition. Ex: I don't need to absolve the "sin of abortion" because I can't even produce babies in me!!

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and I scared the girls sooo good!! Wow it was definitely the highlight of my day:)

pm- 3.85 miles/ 30 min E barefoot grassrun. Chill run at Sandstone elementary. We talked about me being a human sacrifice for the team. If ya want to know more, contact Nick Hill, he has all the specifics.

WORD OF THE DAY: today the word is "scarred" because that is what happened to me when I was walking to seminary today. I was about to walk passed this girl and then like this other came over and got in front of me. I was about to say something like "hey watch out" but then the two girls like kissed right in front of me!! PDA!!! Wow so gross. Scarred is the past tense of scar, whichh is to leave a mark from a wound or burn. Ex: I was scarred after the thing that happened on my way to seminary.

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E and plyos. Good morning and I am tired. Homework is at a record high.

pm- 6.4 miles/ 55 min 2x(3x1min sand hill sprints) with 3 min rec between sets. weights afterwards. The workout today was really good actually. We did the sand hill repeats and I felt a lot stronger than last week. I was able to push up with Nick and that was good. The heat was a little higher than usual but nothing like a few weeks ago. Anywho, the running is going great and I got date this weekend with Alli P so that is kewl. I talked with her after practice today about a thing that has been stressing me lately and that was nice to have someone to talk to. So thanks Al-bal

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word of the day is "utes" cause they had a beast game today against Michigan and won 24-17. Utes is a term used for the indian tribe that populated most of the area covered in present day Utah and Colorado. Ex: I learned about the utes in like 4th grade.... I think.
