I am striving to be the best me I can be. For now, that means I'm going to college at BYU and attempting to walk on to their cross-country team for the fall.

The world would be a better place if more people learned how to love.

Easy seven. Let's were a bit achy but my form feels incredible. I feel like a much more mature runner than even 3 months.

4x200s after at mile effort.

Pine view relays. 2x800 and a 400

2:05-6 (guy cut me off at 400 and I had to stop to go around him)

2:12 (relatively easy effort)

57.7 (without spikes and getting cut off with 100 to go) (felt easy)

Over all very strong races. And a solid 400

Snow canyon today. Felt terrible all morning. Warmed up for the mile I was supposed to state qualify in and my stomach hurt and my legs were heavy. Went out fast in the mile after getting a bad start. And had to kill myself the next two laps to even be close to pace and I was leading. I got passed by John and I knew I had to go with him to state qualify but I was dying. Last lap was poor. Race was pretty rough.

1600: 4:41

Warmed up for the 3200 and I didn't know if I was gonna run it after that tough mile. But I was spuriously excited for it cuz I expected nothing and my legs felt strangely awesome. So I any for it. Drafted behind Taylor and Nephi for the first 3-4 laps and then took the lead when the pace started to lag. Lead the race through the next 3 laps. And got out kicked by Nephi and kale and Taylor. But still ran a huge PR. Huge breakthrough in that 3200m.

3200: 10:02

Right foot hurts more than it should. Lower inner left calf twinged a bit on the second run.

First 10 super slow cuz my right foot hurt, which is disturbing. 8:30's average for the mile. Then dropped the piece a ton the last 4. The last 2 was well under 6:30 pace with the last quarter mile at mile pace, or about there. Entire run ended up being well below 8 minute pace. Legs feel great a few hours after, just a little worried about my foot.
