Train insane or remain the same

16 mile bike ride with papa arnell. Prom was sick 

Happy national #420blazeit day! but remember, glaze it, dont blaze it! We had a nice 10 mile distance run to Mt. Ridge jr high and back. The weather was amazing. Average pace was 6:44. I felt good. This whole week is high so hopefully I continue feeling good and qualify for state in the mile this saturday at orem. 

Shout out to Matt cuz he may or may not have smooched his prom date #itaughthimeverythingheknows

Congrats to everyone who ran the Boston Marathon today! I was correct in my prediction that the winners would be from either kenya or ethiopia. Meb and Ritz did awesome tho. Shout out to Fritz who ran it (turns out I have more monthly views than him, so only a few of you check it out)

The workout today was sick! I think its in my top 5 hardest workouts. 4 miles before and then 3 sets of 4x400's. It was 3 minutes rest inbetween each 400. In between sets we had 4 minutes rest and a recovery lap. To get some mileage in we did a lap during the 3 minutes every other one. The first set was at current mile pace. I got 68,65,67,65. Pretty good.

Second set was at goal mile pace for saturday. (4:24) I got 64,65,64,62. In the middle of this set is when you had to start digging deeper to hit the times. 

Last set was at faster than the previous set or hitting the same time. I got 63,64,63,61. At the end of the last one my legs were so tired i could hardly lift them it felt like. It was one of the most tired my legs have ever been in my life. If i can hit 12 400's at these times no reason I shouldn't be able to run 4 66's in a row. 

I am so ready for the byu invite and region and state. I'm in pretty good shape and with end of the season tapering and stuff im ready to throw down some dope times. Call me lukas verzbicas  

Got a new mile pr on my watch, 4:13 call me a slower version of conner mantz cuz he's way faster than a 4:13 and he comments on my blog 

Drover over to PG high where the dual meet was and did 6 miles on the murdock canal trail. We got back and practiced hand off's, then just hung around till the 4x100. So strrt got out pretty good, I cant say anything bad cuz I was going just as fast, or slow for that matter lol. Him and matt said they had a good hand off. When matt was running towards me I couldn't stop laughing. So I kinda just winged it but I think we had a good hand off. I hauled booty around the curve and gave the baton to brady who blazed the last 110 meters. Our overall time was 51.9. A decent showing. I got a 12.3 or something cuz I only ran like 90 meters cuz I gave brady the baton right after the exchange started. It was a fun time. We beat the pg girls team, unlike the tri meet last year where me and garison and reeves team lost to the lp girls. Then I finished up the rest of my mileage.  

Distance run. We ran to suncrest and then coming back I split off of the group and ran back by the twins house. Average pace for the day was 7:06. I am running the mile and 800 this weekend at the tiger trials.

Got in 5 miles and then did 3 strides and 2*400's at 69 and 66. Then cooled down. I'm feeling dece for tomorrow. I love running in the rain so if it does rain that'll be fun. My goal is to qualify for state in the mile and run a pr in the 800 

Shout out to tiger trials cuz I spent my whole freaking day there. Or it felt like it. Warmed up for the mile, I was feeling ok. The high mileage this week kinda zapped my legs. (Even tho 60 miles isn't that much) So after the first lap I gave up. I was mentally weak today. I didn't care if someone passed me and I didn't push the last 100 like I normally do. I didn't even care, which is bad because I should care. I should have been like ok maybe its not the best race but still push it. I'll do that next time. Finished 13th or 14th after being seeded 3rd. It was sick, I was seeded right next to Conner Mantz. He is such a chill dude. I frickin love that guy. He shook my hand before we started and I almost fainted. The af guys laughed at me but they are just jealous I dont think they're that cool. Then after my 800 he came up to me and called me baller. I told him feel free to comment on my blog, he can do it anytime lol. 

Warmed up for the 800. I was in the second fastest heat. First lap was 60, most of the guys went out too fast cuz I started cruising past guys once we started the second lap. I almost caught a lone peak guy at the end who lead the entire race. He ran like a 57 first lap. If the race was 10 meters longer I would have caught him. Finished with a 2:04.28 So a pr by just a little bit. I wanted it to be better but whatever. I think I'll run it one more time this year. Just to show you how bad my mile was, in both the 800 and mile I got 14th place and I am way better at the mile. So ya, the mile I should have got at least 7th. 

Shout out to Nashby (Nick Ashby, sprinter from orem) cuz he slayed the 200 and 400, then the orem 4x1 ran in the 41's! they are insane!

Shout out to my boys running at the Davis Invite. They had some sick performances in the mile. Garek ran a 4:15! Guess what, I knew garek like a year and half ago so we are pretty much best friends. Garek when yur famous always remember me. Then Zach Erickson ran a 4:20 and only qualified for state. 

Good luck to Strrt and Matt on their d8 tonight. We'll see if they smooch. I think only matt will.

Shout out to Controversial Cam for getting his mission call to Helsinki Finland!! One of my buds Jake Bailey from AF is serving there rn so look out for him. 

Texted jamie and she said I could run another two miles, so I ran in the rain real quick while my dad biked. Got to 13 for the day
