Snow Canyon Warriors Track

AM: 1 mile warm up then went for a 6 mile run with Kendal on the team. He works hard and has been working hard and i am excited for him. I tried to teach him alot of stuff and answered his questions. I am going to start running with him when i do a slower run, and push him. We then did a 1 mile cool down. Felt good and kept the run at about 7:30 pace. Doing mile repeats up Web Hill tonight.

I decided to do the Provo Festival Freedom run 10k this weekend too. Oh Yea!

Its good to see all the runners out too. This morning i saw Mike Warren and two others guys with him, Logan, Katey, logans sister, and others.

PM: another club run tonight at the Dixe Center. We had two new guys Joe (predog), and Eric and just the usual guys. It is cool to get alot of guys out. Did 2.25 to Web Hill. Then we did this really really crazy tough workout. It was a pretty tough workout, but will be a good one everyweek and will increase my speed mightly. Did 2 mile repeats up the hill (other guys did 3) and 2 miles down. I got a sideache after 2 so could only do 2 and i have a race this weekend so didn't want to do to much. Some how made it the 2.25 back with the killer sideache Here are my splits.

1-7:30 the fastest one of the guys for the first one, and pushed really hard.

2-8:08 took it easier and pushed it the last 100-200 yards.

AM: woke up a little sore, tired, and fatigued. So did a 1.5 mile warm up. That helped alot and i wasn't as bad as i thought. Then i just did the XC course (3 miles). Good recovery run.

Did some upper body lifting and ab work too.

PM: after playing ping pong for awhile with Aaron and some others at the Rec center. We headed over to Snow Canyon Park to run with Kamm Davis. We did the West Canyon Trail. It was a shady and good 8 mile run. Felt pretty good, quads were a little sore but ran at a prett decent pace. Fun run, me and Kamm are going to start doing some more trail runs together.

AM:1 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down. Did Jacob Hamlin loop and extended it 2 miles to make it 7.5 easy recovery miles. Felt good to get out and run slow. Good run and great weather.

Push Ups and Sit Ups.

(Stratus: 458.10)

PM: 2 easy miles on the Tred in my fivefingers. Felt good.

AM: .5 mile warm up then went on a 5 mile easy run with coach. We talked about all sorts of running stuff and the Olympic Trials (Did you see the mens 800 if you didn't, you got too). Came back to the school and did .5 mile cool down and some good stretching. Ready for tomorrow, i am really excited. Heading up with the Wilcock's at 5 after work.

(Stratus: 464.10)

Got my Stratus Bees (2.1) and Stratus today, Oh Yea!

PM: 2 miles when we got up to Provo. We drove the course and it is all flat or hilly no real downhill. Felt good and lossened me u for tommorow.

AM: Woke up and was ready to race. Got to Kiwanis Park and did a 1 mile warm up with Joe and Karl. Did some stuff to get ready for the race and it was off to the race. I got on the 2nd line so i didn't get the best start but okay. I went out pretty hard with 3 college guys (around 4:50's mile, to fast). I stayed with them for 4 miles then i kinda dropped back a little and 1 other guy dropped back at about 4.5 and the other two took off. We ran the flat and hilly course. It was a little harder than i expected. At about 4.5 i started to catch the kid that dropped off then on a turn he took off and i went after him but we got caught up in the 5k walkers up a big hill and i was running into people and dodgeing and everything. It was a mess and i could not catch the kid. They needed to make a lane for the 10k people. Well i ended up taking 4th after the 3 college guys (Clay Mayes from Oklamhom State University, Micheal Vick of UVU, and a Jared from UVU) i was only 1 place away from taking home $100, Ah Man! I felt okay and was excited for a great race and a great race to train through. I think it is pretty cool to be so close to college guys when i am still in high school (about 30 seconds behind the leader). They all talked to me and told me i will do great in college and i can't wait. Here i come NCAA championship, but first here i come Jonathon Nelson and XC State.

In the 5k Jonathon Nelson took first running at about 15:48, Karl took second at 15:56, and Steve Morrin took 3rd at 15:58. (good to see some bloggers up there.)

I didn't have my Garmin so i don't know my splits.

This was a really fun trip hanging out with my two buddies. Were going to go up to Des News together too and kick some butt. I can't wait to beat the Team Utah guys and the Team USA guys and have a great race.

AM: didn't want to wake up for the club run got to bed late last night and woke up sore, tired, and stiff. But i am glad i got up, got up a little late (7:00) but got lucky with a cloudy sky. Drove up to Snow Canyon State Park and parked right before the guard station. Ran up in the beautiful park and thought about my running and life. This is a great and one of my favorite places to run. Went in their and dropped off on some trails and stuff and extended it a little at the end to get 10 miles in between 7:30-8:00 pace. Could not really get the legs going today, but had an okay run.

(Stratus 2.1: 10)

PM: went river tubeing on up in zion and went for about a 3 mile hike all together. So going to put down 1.5 miles. Good recovery day to end a hard week.
