Train insane or remain the same

AM: 3 on redwood 

PM: 8 miles up killers and towards pizza pie and back up the dip. Forgot about my morning run and  realized that I was gonna be over, and my it band kinda hurt, so I got a bike at thoms and rode it back to the high school. 

My mission call came today and I'm opening it at 7:45. If you would like to come, text/dm me or something for my address. Feel free to guess where I'm going too. 

I got called to Paris France if you didn't hear, leaving August 3rd and I'm nervous but extremely excited! Josh got his call also and he's going to Peru and leaves the day before me.

We had a workout today and I didn't really want to do one but then me and Thom did a nice 5 mile warm up so that helped. The workout was 9x200. First 3 were at "slower than 800 pace" then 800 pace and faster than 800 pace. My watch could possibly be broken and I'm really sad about it cuz I love my watch. So I didn't really get the splits. It felt pretty good. I would have liked something longer. Cooldown to 10 in a freaking snow storm. 

Announced the dual meet after and it was freaking hilarious.   

AM: 4 on Redwood 

PM: 7 to Utah Lake and back. My watch still works! 

Ran to Willowcreek and told Madame Iverson that I got called to Paris but she wasn't that hyped and when I said she should help me remember my French before I left she just said go talk to my daughter in French. Then we ran back on state street and 2100 and got to 9 for the day. Stretched after with the basketball coaches who are also the math teachers and talked about how I bombed my test.

On the way to Mama Bears room I told Madame Magelby that I got called to Paris and she was much more excited for me. She gave me two French books with assignments and activities and stuff to brush up on, then she offered to give me some money for my mission, and to top it all off she gave me a French Book of Mormon! I was gonna go get one and now I don't have to so shout out to her. 

Then in Mama Bears room I looked at the Arcadia heat sheets that came out today and guess what?! We made the INVITATIONAL of the 4xMile! It's Ryan, Thomas, Collin and I. (Our homies from lone peak will also be in this race :) then I made the seeded mile (but I'm gonna scratch this one) and the SEEDED 3200! (My boy Ryan is also in this race :) and then Aiden Reed from Montana that I know from Footlocker West and Simplot dm'd me and he's in the same race and said that a couple other kids from Simplot are in it too. It's gonna be awesome. Thomas made the rated heat of the 3200 and Michael and Austin made the open 3200 so Lehi will be well represented. 

AM: 4 on Parkway 

PM: Headed over to UVU to watch Jackie race. We watched Adela run the 1500 which she won, then we ran over to Lakeridge. Tyson Raff came with us. 2 mile warm up, strides, 65 65. Cooldown back. Jackie got a little slower then she wanted but got 4th overall so shout out to her. 

UVU invite this morning. Did a 2 mile warm up. It was a lil cold standing around but once you got warmed up it was fine and race was perfect. Was in the first heat withh a bunch of the homies from all the other meets. Casey went str8 into the lead and nobody went with him and he won the race by 10 seconds. I hit a 66 the first lap. Most of the other guys were about the same, the pack was tight because of the slower ish pace so I was in lane 2 for a lot of the race. I went with the pack for the next lil while, but they were gradually pulling away until I was in the back three. It felt like I was working hard to stay with them and then when they picked it up I wasn't strong enough to stay with them. When everybody kicked I stayed the same distance behind and didn't pass anybody so that was fun. Ran about a second slower than I did at Davis which isn't a great feeling, but you cant choose which time you get, you gotta go out and work for it. It's early in the season so it's no time to stress I just gotta keep training hard. Cooling down with the Lone Peak crew was chill as always.

PM: Wanted to do something after my race so I went over to Loch Lomond and did a half mile warm up and then a 2 mile tempo avg pace 5:24, and a half mile cool down.
