9 mile distance run today. We ran up killers so that was "killer" ha. Then we ran back on the bike path. We had a nice pace going it felt like, not sure exactly what it was because I forgot to charge my watch. This thursday we find out who made arcadia. I'd be shocked if i didn't make the 2 mile and im confident we make the 4x800. So for spring break me and brady are going down together and hanging and then running that weekend. Its gonna be hecka  

Spread the word. Tell everyone to look at my blog cuz rn im at 196 monthly views and I'd be turnt if i got over 200. Thank you loyal blog followers

Warm up and then 6x400's at mile pace with 2:30 seconds rest in between. My splits were 65, 64, 65, 68, 66, 65. Jogged an 800 then 4x200's at 800 pace. My splits were 31,31,29,28. The workout wasn't easy cuz we did the 400's fast but I felt really good. After the last 200 my achilles started to hurt, bothered me during the cool down. Iced it after and then went to our team dinner which was sick. Coach Glen got us hecka turnt. He was spitting fire!

ARCADIA! We all made it into Arcadia in every event we were going for! So i'm running the 4x800. It will go Brady, Me, Dylan, and Sean. It's gonna be so sick. Then i'm also running the 2 mile and the mile! I'm super excited because Arcadia is so fast, along with the elevation and nice weather im going to throw down some dope times. For the mile I am in the seeded race, or the second fastest. In last years race, the middle of the seeded race got 4:20 so that would be a good goal. In the 2 mile im not sure what heat im in, but every race is extremely fast so I'm going for a 9:25. 

 We had a dual meet today at AF. So what a few of us did is ride the bus there and then finish back at Lehi. Warmed up with a few minutes of ultimate frisbee. We ran up the road to Lone Peak so that we could say we ran to 3 different high schools in one day. We ran thru Highland Glen park, turned at one of the lights and back by the fish and spinney parks. Felt pretty good, tomorrow i'll do pre meet for the mile and 800 on friday.

Me and brady warmed up 2.5 then did our pre meet for the mile tomorrow. I am also running the 800. 3 strides and 2*400s. I got 67 and 66. Then we finished up our miles with Thom. We ran by Lehi block and back on main street. We went very slow and it felt good. Hopefully its not that windy tomorrow, doesn't matter tho im breaking 4:30 and then with whatever I have left put into the 800, 2:03 i'll say.

Ran 2 miles at the High School before heading over to timpanogos. So I wasn't really thinking and didn't get very much warm up for the mile. I ran like .2 from our tent to the starting line and then got 3 strides on the line. I got out good. After the first lap, a 65, I was in third. I tried to push the second lap more because it's always slow, but I still got passed by 5 guys. I guess I just need to go a little bit faster. That lap was a 68. Third lap i just cruised didn't do that much, 71. Right before the last lap I surged a little bit to get ahead of a little pack. With 300 left we started picking it up and I passed lil warner. Then in the last str8 away I caught up to Jamison Wilkes and had a 100 meter time trial. I barely got him. I give him creds cause he didn't go down without a fight and really made me work for it. My legs were really tired, I threw the form out the window and was pushing it as hard as I could. Last lap was a 63 and I finished with a 4:27.68 a 3 second PR and 3 seconds away from state qualifying. Got 3rd place and a medal. I am super happy with this race because the third lap was very slow, so if I just work on that lap and drop it a lil, maybe finish with a 62 then i can qualify for state! Especially if I get a few miles warm up. After that I ran a cool down/warm up with Thom for the 800. I wasn't feeling the greatest, and I got a lot better time in the mile than I thought I would so I really didn't care about it. First lap 63, last lap 68. Haha I was just cruising in, made sure I passed at least 1 person tho :) Overall a very good day!

Shout out to Reeves and Garison cuz we continued our 400 tradition after Pine View. We strip down and sprint a 400 mostly naked after long bus rides after cool trips. Normally I can pull out a 65 or so, but started of very conservative and saved for the kick were I just out leaned Garison, finished with a 71 lol. 

Shout out to Dylan who ran two, i repeat two sub 51 400's today. In the 400 finals and the 4x400.

Josh Collins ran the 4x100 today and did amazing, i love that guy #hairgoal #speedgoals #everythinggoals

Congrats to Tanner Mellior for getting his mission call to Taiwon. I totally called it, a few minutes before he opened it Taiwon just popped in my head and turns out thats where he's going, Jamie and Sierra are both witnesses, ask em

Shout out to Mckay Johns for being a sophomore and running a 4:14 

Cant wait for ARCADIA!!!

Writing this blog from my cousins house in Mareno Valley, California! Met Thomas at the high school this morning and I got 8.5 in, 6 of it at distance pace so about 6:30. I elevated my legs and got a really good cool down in after my race yesterday so the legs felt really good. Then I got packed and we drove on down here. We made pretty good time cuz my dad drives really fast. I'll go for a bike ride tomorrow because my legs were really sore when I got out. I think we are getting everything worked out for the 4x8 this friday. Then I got the 32 and 16. I'm going for 2:00, 9:29, and 4:24. Hopefully I'm not dead by the time the mile comes around. 

We stopped at the Costco in St George, right by Pine View and I saw Paul Gaona from the blog! It was so sick!

Shout out to Diwas from East! He got a new PR in the mile at the Alpha Invite and I talked to him a little bit. He's from Nepal and he's my role model 

Shout out to Warbeast cuz were at the same mileage this week. Should i go do a .01 jog so I can be ahead of him? I'd prolly get jumped
