PM - 4 miles. Felt good on our first run being back but I should not have missed so many runs over the break. I really only have a good excuse for three of the days (I was sick). But I should not have missed the other few. I was just plain lazy. Today we ran into Green Springs and had weights after.

PM - 5 miles. Did a vertical jump tests before run. I got one of the highest on the team (26"). I know I can jump high but I think it may be a little off, whatever. We ran into Middleton and felt okay for most of the run. I was pretty sore, mostly in my upper body, from lifting yesterday, but it didn't really bother me during the run at all except for a little at the beginning. I started to get really tired towards the end, probably from missing all those runs. I really can't miss any more runs.

6 miles from the 2450 park into Green Springs with some of the guys. Then we went to a breakfast at Megan's house. Got my run in and got breakfast (2 birds with 1 stone).

PM - 4.25 miles. Coach put me in on the 800 workout today. We did 2x1000 with Harts warm and cool. We were supposed to run them at 85% of our mile a month ago plus 10 seconds. So I was supposed to run a 4:12 but we all went really fast and I easily hit 3:37 which was about what Abel, Paul, and Matt were supposed to be running. On the second one I was able to slow down and hit 4:02 which was pretty good. I felt really good today until about the cool down when my stomach started giving me fits but nothing to bad. We lifted after.

PM - 5 mile trail run. We went up to Green Springs and ran up Mustang Pass. I felt really good today. I was feeling a little sore from yesterday but it was the best trail run I've ever done. At some points I was getting tired and wanted to quit but thought about being State Champs and running Varsity and used that to pull me through.

PM - 6 miles with 12 min at 6:50 tempo. I ran with Andrew, Jake T, and Jason H. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's run but luckily it faded away before the tempo. But after we finished the tempo and slowed our pace, my achilles started bugging me. I was able to finish the run but my pace was a little slower than it should have been.

PM - 4 miles and then striders. I felt great but it was pretty windy and cold. My achilles didn't hurt at all today though it felt kinda sore just walking around. Weights afterwards.

PM - 4 miles (I think). Did Kosmin Test with Harts warm and cool. My legs felt sore and tired today (specifically my quads). I ran two 60 seconds and got 690 meters. I felt great at first but at about 200 meters I felt like I was going to collapse. The second one was much better and I was just glad not to half to run 4 of those like the 1600 people.

8 miles with 10 min LT pace (40 seconds added to mile time). I ran with my brother down to the river trail. I ran slower than I was supposed to but I really tried to push my brother. It got super cold and my legs were still sore and tired. Glad to get out and do my run.

PM - 4.75 miles. 3x1000's (85%) with 3 min. rec, and Harts warm and cool. My determined time for the 800 according to the Kosmin test was 2:16. So my time I was supposed to hit on the 1000's today was 3:44. My times were 3:56, 3:50, and 3:45 respectively. I ran with Andrew, Weston, and Dallin on them (mostly Andrew though since he was supposed to hit 3:40). It was really cold today and my left quad was really tight when I started running my 1000's. Luckily it faded out but was bothering me at first. Weights afterwards.

PM - 5 mile trail run on the Dino Trail. I felt pretty good today at first. My quad wasn't bothering me and the rest of my legs felt good but towards the end of the run the bottom of my foot was hurting again. Going to roll it with a golf ball and ice it.

PM - 8 miles with 18 min. tempo at 6:00 pace. My legs felt pretty good but my upper body felt really tired. I ran with Andrew but we were about 10-20 seconds too slow. Nice solid pace back.

PM - 6 miles. Old man hills (4x400). Legs were kinda tight. I didn't run my hills very well. I tried to keep up with Andrew but just couldn't get there.

PM - 5 miles with 15 min tempo at 5:40 pace. I just couldn't get there today. I ran over Foremaster but couldn't get myself to go any faster than 5:50. Then once I reached the bottom of the hill, I was not feeling it at all and ran a 6:20 which as I came up Mall Drive dropped to a 7:00. Not a great run.

4 miles. I slept over at my grandma's house last night so I got up and went for a run with my brother past D-Hills and into some of the neighborhoods over there. I felt really good and our pace was pretty good.

PM - 6 miles. 4x1000 (85%) with 3 min. rec. and Harts warm and cool. My legs felt great but my triceps were really tired . Me and Andrew were supposed to be running 3:40. My times were pretty good on the first three but way too slow on the last one. I tried really hard to land more on my toes and less on my heels and felt like I did way better. Weights afterwards.

PM - 8 miles with 24 min tempo at 6:00 min pace. I was a little sick today and I was way off. I ran pretty good the first mile but the rest of the time I was running about 7:00 min pace. Need to get to bed earlier tonight.

PM - 7 miles. 6 miles with 1 - 2 min fartlek and 2 -1 min fartleks then striders. I've just felt really tired these last few days. I just couldn't bring myself to where I needed to be. Weights afterwards were much better.

PM - 5 mile trail run. I felt way better today even though I was still a little tired and sick. I fell off still but was doing much better than the last few days.

6 miles with 20 min. at 5:40 pace. I couldn't get to my pace again but was doing much better than last time. I ran at about a 6:40 pace for the first half but started to fall off again so I eased off for a couple of minutes like Coach said to do and then try again but couldn't do it so I cut the tempo a couple minutes early and finished my run.

PM - 6 miles. 4x1000 repeats (87%) and Harts warm and cool. I still felt a little sick and tired too.  I was supposed to hit 3:39 (though I've been trying to work with Andrew a bit more and hit his at 3:35). Sadly, I fell off again. I ran a 3:38, 3:43, 3:42, and then a sad 3:57. I just need to get more sleep.

PM - 5 miles trail at old airport trail. Jake drove over there and almost killed Steve (from the running center). I felt extremely good today. Still not totally better but was able to stay with the group. There were some terrible hills and it reminded me of roller coasters but I didn't tire out like I've done in the past week. Great run.

PM - 8 miles with 24 min. tempo at 6:00 min pace. I felt way better today. My sickness was pretty gone and my legs were feeling good. I was running good and hit about 6 min in the first mile but started to fall off again. I realized it was my mind that was holding me back. I may be better physically but a lot worse mentally. Need to work harder on that because that is the only thing holding me back right now.

PM - 6 miles with old man hills (4x400). I was doing much better today getting to where I needed to be. I started to fall off on the way back but I remember what Mike told me on one of the summer afternoon runs when I started to fall off towards the end. He said,"If you can't finish off a run, you can't finish off a race." This quote helped me push that last little bit.
