A really good 3200m race today.  I wanted to break Coach Powell's record, which he told me was 9:44, so I was super stoked when I came in under that, but then later I found out that it's 9:42... Rats!  Next time, it's going down.

I woke up around 7, and decided this would be the only time I would have to go on my run.  It was nice and cool, and I hammered the last mile as planned.  Just a good push at altitude

AM-Nice easy run with the boys

PM-a way tough ladder workout.  I wouldn't have been that bad, except for we only had a 100m jog for cool down in between each rep.  It was fun though, rocked our world, but it will be good!

AM-easy 3

PM-Mcphie day!!!! We all wore hats and long basketball shorts, it was hilarious.  The best part was that John and Josh both took their shirts off and rolled their shorts up, it was the best practice for the month!

AM-Nice easy 3

PM-We had region today, I had a pretty good race. I hammered the last lap, but not enough, because I didn't get under 4:30, which was my goal...  It's ok though, I will get it at state for sure!  I was happy to get fourth, and it was also a PR, so I can't really complain

AM-piece-of-cake 3 mile run

PM-Day two of region, super eventful.  D-Hills swept top four in the 3200, I took 3rd, Kale got dis-koala-fied for dancing with his shirt off by some obnoxious cowboy coach (who put a snake in his boot?), Boston and Joe and Sage, but mostly Boston were flirting with my sister, and Byron's little sister was dirty dancing, and also we won region by a landslide, what fun!

We went up to SUU's track today to do a workout. It was pretty fun, we rocked out some really fast 400s, and 300s, and a couple of 150s.  It was my last hardworkout, at least as a high school student, but that's happy and sad.  I'll definately miss running with the team, but who I'm I kidding, I still got a week to go!   It was also fun because we went to Denny's afterward, and just chowed down!  I also played racketball later with the Mcphies and Thatchers, rock on people!

AM-We were running, then we came upon a valley that was hidden!  Then we turned around and ran back to the school

PM-Cut down workout, starting a 400.  Nothing to crazy, but a good push and pretty fun.  Haha, we used the starting blocks for our 100 finish, we were all terrible at it...

AM-LAST MORNING PRACTICE EVAH!!!  Well, at least until I get back from my mission or whatever, it was fun though, Coach found a mini motorcycle that he's going to turn into a gift for Oliver, in a trash can along the way.  It was hilarious

PM-Easy 4 miles, then 4x200m finishes.

Today was the 1600 in the State Track meet.  It went almost perfectly.  I had a 3 second PR, and I took 5th.  I have no regrets, I was super stoked, I went in ranked tenth, and did much better than that.  I started my kick a lot earlier becasue I knew that I didn't have as good a kick as some of the other guys, so up until 100m to go, I was in 3rd, but then Taylor Abel flew past me, and Nephi barely passed me, but I knew I was doing all I could, I was maxed out on speed, so I was happy that I was able to get a medal!

What a great way to finish off my high school career.  I took 3rd in the 3200, Rex took 2nd, John took 4th, and Mcphie took 6th, it was fabulous.  Garrett and Byron took 1st and 5th respectively, so that was really fun to be on the podium with all of my friends like that.  It was a pretty wierd race, because we went out very slow, as in our first mile was around 5:05.  The pace really dropped after that, and the next mile was around 4:45, nuts!  Haha, I really am going to miss high school races, and the competition and all the people I met, tear drop.  Haha, not really.  I'm excited to hear about next years team though!

10ish mile trail run with Mark.  It was pretty fun, we ran on a super pretty trail in Zion.  It was fun to come back and run after a couple weeks off.
