HOW TO KNOW IF YOU'RE CHILD IS A CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNER:

People ask you, "They run three miles...at once?"

Dogs that chase them have to work hard to keep up.

You need a magnifying glass to see their name in the paper.

They have chafing in strange places.

All their socks are either stained or torn.

Coach said i could sleep in this week because of Spring Break. So i woke up at 9:00 and decided to go on a easy run up through Kayenta on a up and down loop. I really like this run because there is no trafic and it is kinda in the mountains so you can think alot. I ran a 7.5 mile run at 7:01 pace. I was still a little stiff from the weekend, but feeling okay. I got a good 300 meter sprint up a hill at the end of the run to work on my final kick in a race. Now its off to Lake Mead to go camping with my buddy today. So i might, might not get a run in tonight.

After a long day at the beach and getting are truck unstuck i made it home late. So being really tired from the sun i decieded to do a little 4 mile loop by my house. After that i did a full body weight cycle with lots of abb work. Man i am really sunburnt.

Went out this morning and did one of my favorite 6 mile trail/road runs. It leaves from my house in Ivins up by Tuachan High School over by Snow Canyon Park and then loops back down to a neighborhood by Snow Canyon Parkway. I did it at 7:00 mile pace. At then end of the run i did 1.25 miles worth of consecutive striders on a flat road i know of. Then i did a .75 mile cool down back to my house. It was a great run and felt good.

This afternoon about 4:00pm Carl Wilcock came over into town and met me at the Running Center. From there me and him took off on a trail/road run up through Chuckawalla and down into Snow Canyon Parkway. I decided to extend it a little and we ended up doing 12. It was a great run and felt good for me. I was a little fatigued from the morning. I like running with Carl this was are first time running together not in a race and we are going to do it more so we can help each other improve. We kept it at about a 6:30 mile pace and it was fairly comfortable. We ended at the running center in a sweaty mess, man it felt alot more humid today. It was a great run though to end a great day. Got my Stratus today too oh yea.

Went out this afternoon and went over to the High School to see what Coach Bentley had for speed today. Got there and sa it was hills, YEAH! I love hills they are my favorite speed work. So i did my 1 mile warm up then went off to do hills on a hill by the high school called Little League Hill. I did 4 then did a 1 mile loop at a pretty good pace. Then i went back and did 4 more with a 1.5 mile loop at the end of those. It all equaled 8 hills and 2.5 miles of loops. Then i did a .5 a mile cool down to end the afternoon workout.

Was waiting for the club run all day. It finally rolled around and we all met at the Center at 5:00. I got there and we were going to run the Spectrum 10k course. We got dropped of and were off to running. I decieded i wanted to do a tempo run so took off from the group of guys. It was all pretty much down hill and i felt great and actually pretty comfortable. I got to the end of the course and kept going to the Center for a 8 mile tempo run at 6:10 pace (man i wish i was running the Spectrum 10k this weekend, good luck to everyone else though). I am feeling really good and impressed on how my body is holding up. Its easy runs the rest of the week though.(Stratus:8)

We didn't get home till 11:00 so i am going to bed to get up in the morning and get a run in before i go watch the race. I will do two adays tommorrow and try to get 15 in so i can hit 60. Good luck on the race tommorrow everyone.

Went out this morning around 8:45 after struggling to get up. I went out and did a little 3 mile loop by my house and met up with the guys after there race by the fire station. We all went for a cool down after all there great races. We did a 2 mile run and till the guys found there wifes and then i broke off from them to finish my workout. I did another 1.5 mile out and 1.5 mile back. I pushed these last 3 miles and ran them around 5:45 mile pace. I ran back to the race grabbed some of the food their and went home to get to work at the Center. Good Job Everyone.

After a really really busy day at the running center i was ready for a good run. So i went over to the High School and did my 1 mile warm up. Then i took off on a 8 mile loop i know of over by green valley and back around. I kept a 6:30 pace for the whole 8 miles and felt really comfortable, but a little fatigued. After that i met the Bentley's even Karinne back at the track. They were doing there speed work so i did some too. I just did 2 miles of striders or 8 striders. Then i did a 200 meter sprint with the girls for fun. Ended with a .5 mile cool down.  It was a great day. (Stratus: 27.75)
