Then I ran the 2 mile fatigued and ran a 10:18 taking 6th place overall and getting on an all state team. I got a medal and was excited but know I could of did better. Put down 5 miles for warm ups and cool downs.

4 mile easy run recoverying from meet did not feel to well.

starting two a days every day now so did a 8 mile trail run in the morning on nice trail. Followed this at night by a 7 mile tempo run with two buddies on there bikes. I was hauling this night on an up and down course. They could not keep up with me and were exhausted man is this how Ryan Hall feels?

7 mile long run on flat course to end a great week. I am going to try and due 60 miles a week from now on

couldn't get out in the morning cause lifting weights but did a 400-600-800-600-400 cycle at night with a 1 mile warm up and 5 mile cool down. felt okay legs a little tired.

Holy cow man I had an excellent workout tonight after working out yesterday and speed work. Today I just decided to do a good tempo run and it was. I did a 10.5 mile tempo run on a hilly course going up by Tuacahn and Snow Canyon Park. I thought I could be like Ryan Hall ha ha and felt like it doing a 10 mile tempo. I kept a 6:00 mile pace for 10.5 with a mild wind. Not bad.  My dad paced me along with his bike but i out ran him most of the time. I finished really really strong and am running really strong these days. Carl Wilcox better watch out ha ha. I brought a couple of miles down under 5 minutes, down hill but it felt good. I ran at about 7:00pm so it was dark but it got hot so I took off my shirt. Only in STG, thats right ha ha. Oh yea a 1 mile cool down too.

Woke up at about 5:30 this morning and headed over to the high school track. Ran a 1 mile warm up then followed that up with 12 flying 40's. This is were you sprint a 40 then run the rest of the lap at moderate pace. It was pretty chilly but I still managed a good workout. A little fatigued from the day before. Followed that up with a 1 mile cool down. Then after a long day at school ran a 6 mile recovery run. It was a pretty decent day and am feeling good. I hope I can get that 60 in for the week.  Oh yea I have changed my stride up a little and it seems to fit me better and I am moving in a more swift fluent way. I have tried it a week and am going to keep it this way since it is only a moderate change. Thats what you get from watching hours of running videos I guess. Did some jumproaping at night as well.

Tired so couldn't wake up this morning but. Ran after school. It was pretty chilly outside but I managed to pull out a good work out doing a 1 mile warm up and 5 recovery miles. Felt pretty good a little sore from weights, but doing good. Then at night I did 5 miles on the power bike and treadmill because I was to big of a sissy to go run out in the cold weather. Got my 10 miles in for the day though. Also did some arm and chest weights at night.  

Woke up this morning at 5:30 and drove over to the school to lift weights. After having a good workout lifting legs I went over to the track and ran 2 miles on it. I did this so I can get used to running that 8 laps around the track again. After a good day at school I ran after school. first I did my usual 1 mile warm up and then got to work doing a track workout. This work out consisted of 3 X 1200's it was an okay workout a little fatigued. After the workout I ran a 4 mile trail run and got stuck in the mud now my new ds trainers are all muddy. Oh yea about 2.5 into the run I found a bench on the trail and took a little 15 minute nap it felt good.

Woke up about 6:00am and was way tired. But got out of bed and took a shower to loosen up and wake up for the 16 mile run with the running center guys and girls. So I drove over to Mike Warrens house and nice wife took us up to Utah hill. It was a cold one outside in my shorts but I was ready to run. So we took off down the hill heading back to Santa Clara for a 16 mile run. I started off great running in the 5:40 to 6:00 range on the mostly downhill run. I was really feeling good today and took off from the pack. I was running really swiftly and fluent and ready to knock this run out. It was a great run and ended up being 16.25 miles and I ran it at a good 6:09 average pace. The great thing was that when we all got back Mike's wife had some fresh fruit and cold water ready for us, it was great and hit the spot. Thank you Coleen. This was a great run on a great day and i was proud of my accomplishing my goal of keeping my pace around 6:00. Great job everyone for a great run.

Woke  up this morning at about 6:00am and got ready to drive over to Logan's parents house and run a run with him while he was in town. So we took off at a farely easy pace from the house and made are way up on to snow canyon parkway and then into Ivins. I was a little fatigued today from my run on saturday, but ran a good run. As we were running me and Logan talked about running and had some good conversations and he pushed me along. We ran into Ivins and did some good hills and pushed the pace. It was a nice day today and I ended up ditching my gloves and hat. Overall we ran about 13.60 at a good 6:09 pace. This is pretty good for a Monday morning run I thought. Logan is a dang fast guy and I can't wait for him to get that job down here so we can do some more training. I feel pretty good with all the training I have been doing and am excited on whats to come. I believe I am going to do a couple of good easy runs this week though. Took a much needed 2 hour nap, then off to work at Steve's store.

Was feeling a little sore after work and just wanted to go for a run so bad. So I decieded to do a little 3.4 loosening up easy run by my house. It was a good way to cap off a good day. Now its sleepy time.

Decided to run after school today and sleep in because of the tiredness. So started after school with a 1 mile warm up on the football field barefooted. Then went with some girls and a freshman guy from are distance team in track and took them on a trail run we did a 5 mile trail run and some of the girls got lost so instead of me doing more I had to go back and find them. So we finally found them and went back to the school. When I got back I wanted to get my 10 in for the day so did 4 miles on my own on the road. It was a real easy, recovery day to get my muscles back.

Went and lifted weights over at the school at 5:30 this morning and did a full body workout. After school had to go to work so ended up doing my run at 6:30 at night. By this time is was raining, but I love running in the rain and went out and ran a good workout. Started with a 1 mile warmup then did a 5 mile fartlick workout. In this I sprinted a 400 at full speed and then jogged a 400. Ended up doing 10 sprinting 400's. after that did a 4 mile cool down in the great rain. A great day overall and didn't feel to fatigued.

Stayed up till 12:00 the night before doing homework so didn't wake up this morning. So ran after school. Starte with my usual 1 mile warm up on the track. Then ran 4 miles with Kamee Bentley on a little loop at very easy pace. After that drove over to the Running Center and ran with the guys on are weekly run. We did a 10.5 mile loop and lost Clyde on the way ha. We found him though after we were all scared, just kidding. We ran at an easy pace and it helped me with my fatigue i had this week. It was a good run for everyone and a fun one. Keep putting in those miles guys.

Had another good work out today. My alarm did not go off for some awkward reason this morning so I did my workout after school. Started with my 1 mile warm up then did some stretching with the track team. Then it was time for 3 miles of continuous 200's on the track. I had an excellent run even though I was really tired. After that went to the weight room and lifted a full body workout. Then I decieded to go up to the wilderness. This is what I call up by chuckawalla. I ended up doing 5 miles up there. I did not quite get my 10 in for the day but it is my Big 17 year old Birthday. I had a good birthday and got to eat at one of my favorite places with the fam. The Texas Roadhouse.

Oh yea I'm going to start putting a quote from famous runners and people every day on my blog. So look forward to seeing a different quote everyday. I hope they help some people out there.

"Some people create with words, or with music, or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, "I've never seen anyone run like that before." It's more then just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better then anyone else. It's being creative."-Steve Prefontaine

Today I went and met with the Running Center guys at the store. Only Clyde, Dave, Dave's brother, Me, and later Paul showed up. We started out at a fairly easy pace and we kept it up for a while. We ran about 3and picked up Paul and he ran with us for about 2 then we dropped him off then we dropped Dave's brother off at about 6 and he ended up running about 9 I dropped off at 8 and ran back to the store and ended up doing about 12. Dave and Clyde did there usual 20. It was a fairly decent workout and ran at about a 7:00 pace. I pushed it pretty good the last 4. Did some fairly decent hills as well. I was pretty fatigued and tired today but did allright. Did a 1.5 mile cool down as well to help the leg. Now it is time to take a break for the rest of the weekend and rest those tired legs up. I think this is my first 75 mile week and I feel allright. I am really impressed on how my body is handling this at young age. Oh yea everyone should go try out Inta Juice, its a great smoothie place over in Washington, I went and got one after the run and it was heaven. Good job on your weeks everyone.

I think I was finally feeling better from that flue. I went out this morning around 5:30 and went over to the high school track. Started with a 1 mile warmup then ran a cycle workout on the track 1200-800-600-400 ran them at 1200-3:34 could of broke 4:40 mile with a decent 4th lap. 800-2:24 600-1:40 and 400-1:06. It was all pretty decent from being sick and fatigued. Did a 2 mile cool down.

After School today did a 1 mile warm up and then ran an easy 5 miles with some friends. I ran that pretty slow because there not really runners so I decided to do 4 more at tempo pace ran the 1st mile at 6:04 pace 2nd 6:07 pace 3rd 6:07 pace and 4th 6:04 pace it was a pretty good run after doing track work in the morning. I think I am improving well and overcoming my illness. Ill try to hit around 60 this week.

I woke up this morning around 6 and drove of to the school to lift weights. After doing a full leg workout with some arm in there I felt pretty good. I am glad to lift weights it makes me feel stronger.

After school i had to work so after work i drove over to my friend house for him to ride his bike next to me while i run it is nice to have some company on the run. I did a quick 1 mile warm up then headed out on a run me and him do alot. It is a nice little run with some good hills and good down hills. I did a pretty good 7 miles at a 6:45 pace. It felt pretty good. I don't know i have been feeling really tired this week not fatigued just tired and my tendons behing my right knee are hurting a little. Its just slight though. They do that to me every so often though. I am still doing pretty good though.

Woke up this morning and drove over to the track. Started off with a 1mile warm up then did 3X1200's on the track. I kept them at or under 10:00 pace for a 3200 which is good considering my legs are really fatigued from last week. I didn't have to much of a kick because of the fatigue. I am taking it easy the rest of the week. Coach thinks that if i can keep it at that pace with tired legs i should have no problem of breaking 10:00 the first or second race. That is exciting. Did a 1 mile cool down to end morning.

Went after school and met the new distance coach Bill Jones. He was a pretty good runner in high school and will help me especially phychologicaly. Helped the coaches time some kids in are inter school meet. Kids are starting good for the year. after that went over to the center for a club run. It was only me Dustin, Bill, and Aaron. We did the Chuckawalla trail run then onto the parkway. Bill and Dustin turned back at 4 to do 8 and me and Aaron went on to do about 9.5 it was a good moderate pace run. Felt okay. Aaron had some stomach problems though which suck. Good luck at Del Sol everyone.
