Snow Canyon Warriors Track

AM: Morning practice, first in awhile and feel like i get a better workout in the morning. It was a little chilly but felt great. Did 1 mile warm up and stretched and felt good after my day date, dance, and race friday. Did a 5.5 mile run 2.75 easy out then did a tempo 2.75 back. Ran the 2.25 back in 14:46 on a flat course with a couple up hills and down hills. Felt great. did .5 mile cool down.

PM: 1.5 mile warm up in the fivefingers. 3 mile run on the course at the time i will run Wednesday and at Region. Getting used to the time of day and weather. The weather was great today and a perfect day to run. .5 mile cool down.

PM: .5 mile warm up. 3 mile run. 8 sprints and .5 mile cool down at 10 o clock at night. Really, really dumb. I didn't get to bed till 1 and have not got to bed earlier than 11:30 Since sometime last week. Had Homecoming last weekend and have been partying it up really really dumb.

Alright it was a crappy race. I led till about .25 to go then the legs tightened up and my whole body cramped up. I lost the lead and then just jogged into the finish line, i let two guys pass me and didn't even care.  It was a really bad race, felt really tired going into it, someone even told me i look tired. Have not been taking my endurox, getting sleep, eating kinda crappy. I am going to go back to my devote lifestyle. I am going to get my mindset back and become for mentally tough in races. I will put this bad bad race behind me and look at my good races and bettter myself. It will all workout. I will get intuned with everything and be ready. I will run slow long runs with a few strides till region and get the fatigued legs back. Taper, taper, taper. My legs are so tired from everything and tight and will come back. Going to get a massage too, and not lift any weights, pushups and be ready.

An easy 6 mile run today. Felt good to get out. I am feeling betteer mentally today. I got to bed at 10 last night and will get to bed no later than 10 for the next two weeks. Run, felt oaky and ready to get better the next couple of weeks. Feeling still pretty fatigued today. Will get the massage and keep the endurox in and do long slow runs till region with a little bit of strides. no more speed work. I will be alright and bounce back. It was a motivational run and a good learning experience. Just sucks to loose on the home course.

PM: Easy 6 miles on the Small Kayenta loop for the second straight day. Felt good and i am feeling better.

AM: went up to Cedar to watch the College Cross Country race. Did about 6 miles of actual running and chasing the people all over the course. Felt pretty good. It was awesome to watch the guys and where i will be next year. Cam Levins is an awesome runner and won it easily. Talked to some coaches and some of the college guys. Fun race in really cold weather and it is getting me pump.

PM: tonight while i was doing some courses i had a vision of me taking state and i all of a sudden got really excited and thought about all the hardwork i have put in and just visualized everything. I am really pumped up to have  a great region and state.
