Ran with the team for the first time since I have been back. Did 3 miles of easy warm-up then 2 miles of tempo. I took it easy cuz I was not feeling very well so I just stayed behind Connor so he didn't try to speed up, Braden caught us at McDonalds but we just sprinted to the finish. Rory was like 20 seconds back and Jesse J. was even further.

Extremely hot run. I think I got sick from something that I ate. I need to take better care of myself.

Worse day of running yet. Got next to no sleep last night and woke up at like 4 to go throw up. Decided to go meet with the team any way though. Got to practice and couldn't get my body moving because I had no energy from no food in my stomach and no sleep. For our workout we went to our course in Hell's Playground and did speedwork. Stayed with Connor for the first repeat but couldn't get moving on the next two. On the last one I had to stop to throw up whatever was left in my stomach. Cooled down back to the Stake center afterwards.

I am just barely puting this in so there will be less written. Warmed up with Macy and Mike Felix for about 2 miles then did striders and idiot drills with Connor and Rory. Got to the starting line a bit late but Barnes didn't start till much later. We took off at a pretty fast pace and I ran with Braden in 4th for the first mile then we started to head downhill so I pulled away a bit. At the water stop I tried to grab some water but ended up spilling it all over me and the lady handing them out instead lol. For the last two miles I ran by myself and kept a good pace but I had such a gap that I knew Connor and Braden wouldn't catch me.. I looked back and saw Braden and Connor racing each other so I kept looking back in interest to see who would win.

I came through the finish in a time of 21:19 and Braden outsprinted Connor for a win of about .03 seconds with a 21:35. 11 guys beat my time from last year and 9 beat the course record. Macy outsprinted Mike Felix from UVU for a 20:15.

Felt awesome today. Ran a mile and a half warm-up to the Motha Cussa. We got their and did idiot drills and striders then Barnes told us our workout. We were doing 6x4/10 repeats up the Motha Cussa. I took off on the first one and stayed with the team. The next four I went as fast as I could and the other guys were quite a bit behind me. The last one I decided to race and just about died when I finished. I was too far ahead of Connor so I don't know my times for the repeats but they were all at least 10-15 seconds ahead of the rest of the team. We ran a 3 mile cooldown and when we got back Barnes gave us a high five for having such a great workout.

Met at Monarch Meadows then did core and warmed up. For the warmup we did 2 miles up the trail then back then we did idiot drills. Our workout was 8x400s on the grass but I was feeling better than on Wednesday. I only had my GPS watch on so It was hard to get our times but I just counted the seconds I was ahead and cut it off what Mckay got. Our first one was around 74 but we went kinda slow cuz we didn't know the course. The others were around 72 70 69 68 67 68 69 70. Pretty good workout though.

AM- Ran on my own for 3 miles

PM- Time trials. Ran a mile and a half warmup then did some striders. We started our race and Braden B. took off and led for a half lap before I took the lead. I slowed the pace down a bit to loosen up before taking off on the last 3 laps. I moved away from the rest off the pack and Rory and Connor tried to go with me but they faded back. I came across the line in a 7:14 and Connor was second with a 7:16 and Rory was a bit further back with a 7:22.

We cooled down to the church and back.

Probably felt the worst I have felt before a race and probably my worst race since State XC last year or even State Track. 2 mile warmup, 3 mile race, (rounding up) and 1.5 cool down. Really hoping to redeem myself tomorrow at American Fork Grass Relays.

Got to the race early to get a good spot then Connor, Rory and I went to spot out our competition (MV). Got Barnes to put me on the first leg so I could give it to our second guy in a good position. Warmed up for 2 miles around the course and practiced on the hay bales which are wayyyy easier to jump over than the barriers in steeplechase. I practiced by myself trying to get them just right before my race. The girls race took quite a bit longer than they had planned so there were still girls on the course.

When we started I got to the front and ran with B-Mac from AF and Alex Hedquist from Davis, Austin Brower was up with us for the first mile but he faded quickly. Paxton caught me at around the first hay bale and Kramer caught me a bit later. I finished fifth in my leg but I think if I had not ran my guts out yesterday I probably could have contended with the leaders and probably beaten them.

PM- 7, 5x800m hill repeats. Kept up for the first 3 then fell back.

I need: to stop pushing on easy days (like yesterday where I went sub-6 for the last three miles), eat healthier food, go to bed earlier, take better care of myself, and stretch and roll out more often.

PM- 4.6 miles after our team goal meeting session. I set my region goal for 14:52. I truly think I will be able to accomplish that this year. In the run we ran with the top 8 and talked about our individual goals and I made sure that they were aiming for my course record of last year (15:29). We went a little faster than I wanted to but oh well. Team dinner afterward.

Got to the race at around the time where the girls ran and checked out the course. They changed it from the last time I had ran on it (where I set the record) It involved quite a bit of looping and we only did the big loop once :(. I took off pretty fast to get to the front and made sure that my team was doing the same. Austin and I broke away from the pack pretty soon.

I tucked in behind him for the first mile and a half while he decided to try and surge away and make me die. I just kept going and caught him each time he surged. He eventually died and I had to finish the race alone. Rory came in 10-11 seconds behind me and Brower was around 10-15 seconds behind Rory. Did two miles for the cool down.
