The King of Controversy

AM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Pretty chill run this morning. 

PM - 7.75 miles. 60 min with 2x(2 min hard, 30 sec easy, 1 min hard, 30 sec easy, 30 sec hard, 30 sec easy). Well since all the Juniors got their ACT scores back, we ran by a lot of their houses so they could check them. Pretty good scores from the team. Jake the Snake got a 27, Warbreasts got a 30, and Slick reclaimed his spot as smartest on the team with a 31. Workout was good. My stomach was all jacked but I survived. We took a quick break between sets which I don't think we were supposed to do but we had to stop at Bryan's and check his score. Joke is on us though because his didn't come.

Controversial Topic of The Day - What is the worst Star Wars Movie? Personally, I like all the Star Wars movies but I do think some are better than others. I think the dumbest one is the original one - #4 A New Hope. It's just so old and has the shortest, boringest plot of all of them. A lot of people disagree though saying that #1 is the worst but all those people are just blind SOPs (son of parents) who are blinded by their hate for Jar Jar Binks. How could you hate Jar Jar?! He's a freaking beast war hero! Comment your least favorite Star Wars movie. Tomorrow will be fav. Star Wars movie.

AM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. I felt really good this morning. Legs felt really zesty and rolling out and doing yoga after made them feel even better.

PM - 6.5 miles. 40 min easy with 4x200. This was a good and bad run. My stomach was all jacked again but we took it nice and slow so that was a nice shakeout for my legs.

Controversy - What's your favorite Star Wars movie? This is one of my favorite sagas of all time. I'm not sure which movie is my favorite though. I want to say #6 but #2 and #3 are really cool too. I really can't decide because they all are really good. Comment your favorite one.

AM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. Same old. 

PM - 4 miles. Ultraspire Distance Carnival 800m. I don't even really know what to say about this race. I got out in like 61 or 62 and then just gave up on myself. I've just struggled lately with my racing. I haven't had a solid race since XC which is kind of depressing. 

AM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Very sad turnout this morning. No wonder our team has struggled a lot lately. Too many people aren't doing what they should be. 

PM - 5 miles. Ultraspire Distance Carnival 1600m. Finally a good race for me. I got out pretty quick and had the lead for a second which may have been a little dumb since it was kind of windy. I relaxed a lot after that though and a bunch of my teammates got around me. The second lap was really cool because it was just a long line of Pine View guys up front. I sat right on Alex this lap and was in about 6th place. The third lap, Coach yelled at us to attack this lap and so I moved around Alex and Andrew. The last lap was super crazy because Tanner Sharp from DH passed me right at the beginning of this lap. Normally, I would have just let him fly by me but I knew that was why I had been racing so bad because I gave up too easily. So I decided to go with him and I passed him again on the back stretch. I was super tired at this point though and he came back and passed me again with 200 to go and his teammate Bryson King came and passed me too. I almost gave up again at this point until I realized that to get a medal I had to beat one of them and so I gave one last push to our kick Bryson. I was really close to Tanner and I probably could have gotten him too but I was just focused on getting a medal. Great race for me though. First time breaking 4:40 and a great step in the right direction for me. 

AM - 10 miles. 80 min easy. Nice long run with Preston, Jake, Dallen, and Andrew on our day off from school. We ran out into the desert by Jake's house where it appears they are building some big highway or something. Super fun run and I felt really good.

PM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Just a run by myself around 4ish. Legs felt really good for running 10 miles this morning.

PM - 7 miles. 55 min with 13 progression tempo (5:40 to 5:20). Not a great day for me. I was suppposed to do 20 min of tempo but I was just not in the mindset to run fast today. I ran or rather jogged the first 13 min and I pretty much was at 5:50 for that whole time and I couldn't get myself to speed up. It wasn't so much that I wasn't feeling good. I just wasn't in the right mind set to run fast. Tempos are one thing I need to work on.
