Personal:

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. I am expecting to serve a mission following the end of the semester. My goal in life is to teach the deppressed how to geuninely smile, the anxious how to stand confident and courageous and the heartbroken and hopeless how to regain faith. The world would be a better place if more people learned how to love.

Two mile today. Slow heat in BYU invite. It was a great race for me. Ran well. Consistent splits. Needed a better kick though to get state qualifying.

10:00.17

Mile and medley relay today. The medley was in the golden hour so that's cool. I ran a great mile. Something like a 1:06 1:11 1:08 1:08. Or something like that.

4:31.54 

Huge race. Big pr excited for things to come.

2:05 relay split in the medley

I think I had more left then I realized. Could've done better. Huge goals for region next week.

Crazy good speed session today. Half kick workout. Starts at mile pace for 100 meters and drops to 400 pace for 200 meters.

100 16.1 (full second fast)

120 19.8 (slightly slow)

140 20.0 (full second fast)

160 22.3 (nearly a second fast)

180 24.0 (full second fast)

200 26.1 (nearly a second fast)

That's my best 200 time by a second and I felt so string and fluid. I'm ready to go for region.

2 mile and 800.

3200m: 10:07

Statred strong. In great position with 2 laps to go and died mentally. I lost the mental game. When I needed to go I gave up. I'm still getting to know that race so hopefully Ill do some big things next year.

800m:

2:02.53

I refocused and convinced myself that the 800 was gonna and I was gonna give it everything I had to try to state qualify. Again solid were solid through the first 600. About 28, high 1:00 and around a 1:29 through 600. Lost control of my form and broke down finishing at a 2:02. Exactly the same time off state qualifying in the 3200. Very frustrating cuz I wanted it so badly. But still a good PR.

3 mile tempo. The usual route down main street.

17:05

A minute faster than normal and a lot more comfortable. Tempo pace feels so much easier and it's faster.

I feel like heck today. Taking a break is so hard. Idk how long it's gonna be. I felt really drained after the main block of hard training but by the end of the taper I felt great. So we'll just wait and see.

Ran with the 7th n 8th graders in their field. 

5:58 1600m & 2:26 800m

Hopefully these kids have a fast learning curve and we can get em prepped for track next year and possibly xc.

Little to no physical activity. I think I'm finally getting used to this.

I honestly think I'm more likely to get injured the less I run. Over all the major effects of running withdrawals.

So I think I may be developing plantar fasciitis. Spent too much acting like a teenager in bad shoes. It's been tho. I miss running a lot but I'm doing well. Don't know if this is gonna be a 2 weeker or a three. My legs don't feel ready for 5 months of pounding yet.

Ran across the San Diego zoo parking lot today. I felt incredible aside from the usual aches that go with not running for awhile.

Did a lot of sole searching and decided to end my break on Monday because my legs feel strong and I crave endorphins.
