Am -  My legs were tired and sore from the half marathon on Saturday.  So it was just a chill, easy run.  In a nice snow storm too, that was pretty crazy.  3.8 miles

Pm -  I wasn't doin to hot this after noon.  My left plantar is pretty sore, I think I strained it in the half.  So we just did like 5 miles on the track today.  Also we did some events for our track teams decathlon, which we have to see what people are good at.  In the 400 I ran 55.83.  That was a pretty thug time for the conditions.  Also I threw the shotput a beastly 26 feet and 11 inches.  5 miles

Something that raised hell today:  when I walked through the slush from my friends house to the school 4 miles away and froze my toes.

Pm -  Today we did about 7 miles overall.  We started out with a nice loop, with the highlight being as we passed fantastic Deseret Industries.  The we hit up a few more luscious miles on our track, The Ringworm.  My left arch was still feeling pretty sore, not too good.

As the epic decathlon of Pine View High School continued today, we did the 300m hurdles and the javelin.  In the 300m hurdles, I threw down a solid 44.62.  I felt like a majestic red tailed hawk gliding over the hurdles.  I definately could have gone faster, but i mainly wanted to have good form and not fall.  In the javelin, I threw a decent 101 feet and 10 inches, despite my form not being great and my footwork being garbaje.  

Something that raised hell today:  when we were running around The Ringworm, I came down on my left foot and an excruciating pain shot through my left plantar for a split second.

Am -  Rough morning run.  My foot hurt and my legs still feel trashed from the half last Saturday.  Only 2.4 miles

Pm -  I felt a lot better in the afternoon, actually pretty good.  Our school decathlon is still going on this whole week, so just in between events we ran laps on the track.  I got 5.3 miles total.  

In the 110m hurdles today, my performance was adequate.  I ran a time of 17.89 seconds. In the 200m, again just another adequate performance with a meager time of 24.19 seconds.  The high jump was going pretty good until some MAJOR NOOB broke the stinking bar!  That happened last year in the decathlon when jake aka somethingdope landed on the bar and broke it.  Me and two other guys had cleared 5 foot so we will finish that tomorrow.  

Also after all that I lifted and got swoll.

Something that raised hell today:  that was definately when Nicole, our fastest senior girl, got beat in the 200m dash by a 6th grade girl, Alli Baker.   WOW.

Pm -  Today was pretty stellar.  Practice today was just like some easy miles with some hill repeats.  That was all pretty cheese stuff and my legs and feet felt bueno, so life is just good right now. 5 miles.

In the delicious decathlon, the events of the day were the 100m dash, long jump, and discus throw.  I really sucked it up in the discus; i threw a weak 80 feet and 3 inches.  Last year I got like 98 feet.  Whatever.  The 100m dash was pretty solid as I barely edged out Paul in my heat with a 12.49 second time.  In the long jumped I soared a fine 17 feet and 4 inches.  

Something that raised hell today:  when our sub in Spanish, Mr. Harrison said the S word.  I had no idea he had that in him.

Am -  Hard morning run.  My legs felt like garbage.  3.8 miles

Pm -  We did our second Kosmin test of the season today.  2 miles warm up, then we did it.  I got 821 meters for the 2 minute version.  I think that is pretty close to how much I got about 6 weeks ago.  But I feel it was pretty good for my legs feeling so tired and flat.  Then added more mileage for 4.5 miles.

Something that raised hell today: when Alli Baker, 6th grade girl, got farther in the Kosmin than all our high school girls.  We have some insanely fast young girls.

Pm -  Quite the run this afternoon.  Me, Alex, and my dad did a trail called the Sand Hill trail.  It goes over this freaking huge mountain of sand that is like a mile to the top, idk.  I started out feeling totally garbage on this run.  The first 30 minutes, my legs were just like burning and I had to take some breaks.  It sucked.  Then like 45 minutes in, going up the sand hill, I finally felt decent.  After getting off the sand hill, I started a 20 minute tempo to finish up my 80 minutes today.  It was alright; part of it was on soft dirt, some on road, and finally up a long hill to my house.  So the paces for the supposed to be AT - LT progression were off, but the effort was right on.  It was flammin hard and my mental game was strong.  This run ended up to be alright.

Something that raised hell today:  Our boys basketball team won state today!  It was a beast game to watch and they beat Dixie 46-43.  It really got me thinking about how much I wanna be a state champ, and how real it is that I could win state in track and XC this year.
