10 miles with the LP crew today, and it was a lot of fun. 6:34 average, just kinda cruising. Zack and I started to pick it up at 8 miles but coach Bybee told us to calm down so that was fun... Parker came with, so shoutout to him, and shoutout to the LP guys for the best of times.

I'm not gonna put in a race report because I stopped racing halfway through. It was the freedom 10k, and I went out with Connor, Eugene, Thom, the Riding twins, and maybe a couple others. First mile 5:30. That's when I started to realize that today was not my day. I decided to be conservative since I still had 5 miles left,and I let the pack go. I'm glad I did. Second mile, 5:39. After the second mile I gave up all hope of racing this thing because my legs were completely gone, and I ended up stopping a couple times to dry heave and I just had nothing. Splits from mile 3 on were 6:09, 6:49, 9:34, 7:59. My stomach hurt really bad that 5th mile, honestly I'm surprised I didn't just drop out, again, today was not my day. I felt much better last Saturday, maybe that 10 miler spent me lol. Kind of disappointing but I need to keep in mind what I'm capable of and that this race doesn't reflect anything about me as an athlete. Good experience. Shoutout to everyone for killing it and to Guppy for spending the day with me

P.M.- 2 easy to get to 10 for the day

7 on one of the loops in corner canyon. It was a good time, and shoutout to Ryan for coming with us because I was finally able to see him again so that was cool. Also shoutout to Guppy for taking me to lunch for my birthday (which is on Thursday but I'll be at trek)

8 miles with Dallin, he's a cool kid. We went to ice bath at the creek and the dam broke, so we were trying to fix it and one of the big rocks we were using slipped and smashed my finger, so now I get to deal with a broken finger... wahoo... lol it'll be fine, the nail is a beautiful shade of purple though.

6 mile distance run today, everyone else did "the Kicker", previously known as the dream maker. I just did distance because I didn't run on Friday or Saturday because my resting heart rate was skyrocketing, so Jamie said to not do anything. Today it was 69, so still a little high, but not as bad. My legs were still a little heavy but not too bad, just kinda playing things by ear. I paced Gan to a 16 second pr so maybe I'll be a professional pacer when I grow up haha. Anyway, shoutout to her for the big pr

6 mile distance run, average pace was 7:10, with a 8:00 first mile and 6:04 last mile. Shoutout to Dallin because we matched 100% today. Check it out on my insta @collin__xc. My legs are feeling a little better, hopefully they continue to feel good as the week goes on!

6 minute test today, and I guess it wasn't horrible. I got 4 laps and 395ish meters, so almost 5 laps. I felt really strong and took the lead 800m in and 200m into the third lap my legs just lost most of the energy they had. It was like I hit a wall... Just kinda tried to survive after that. I finished 4th behind Ryan, Connor, and Thomas. Shoutout to Ryan and Connor for coming and doing it with us! I helped my mom go grocery shopping today and we got some good quality food so I can try to gain back the weight I've lost over the past couple weeks and hopefully get some energy back into my muscles and recover.

8 miles at 7:33 pace, it was nice recovery. Runs like this are the best, we were just cruising having a good time! Shoutout to Connor for joining us for part of it

Temple to Temple 5k in Provo today. A bunch of people from the team were there so that was sick. Michael and I took it out in 4:49 the first mile, and I tried to hold on but fatigue hit my legs like a bus and I died hard. Very frustrating. I'm going to get my iron checked at 3:00, I'm 99.9999999% sure I'm very low in the iron department... everyone I've talked to that was low in iron has had the same symptoms, so we'll see how things go. Wish me luck.

6 easy miles. After just one dose of liquid iron last night I felt infinitely better today... I'll keep taking that at night and we'll see what the blood work shows on Thursday! I'm so glad I figured things out... Low iron sucks.

8 miles @6:47 avg pace. My legs were still pretty dead, but a little better, so I'll keep taking the iron and we'll see what the results say tomorrow.

8 600's at skyridge today. We went up on the grass around the track, then finished with 200m on the track. Splits were 1:58,1:57,1:55,1:55,1:55,1:50,1:52,1:50. I finally felt strong today for the first time in like 3 weeks. Shoutout to iron. I was really happy with having them all be under 2, but I wish we would've had more of a pack at the front. Anyway, it was a good workout!

Recovery run, Michael, Parker, and I split off from the group because we wanted to go slower. It was a good run, and we made a loop out of it!

10 pretty eventful miles today! Michael, Thom, Parker, and I started at the park and went up to the MCT, and got off the MCT in highland and came back by way of the spinny park. While running, a biker lady got pretty mad at us because apparently we were on the wrong side of the trail, so here's the exchange that happened;

Biker Lady: You know there's a pedestrian side of the trail right? *Very snarky might I add*

Thom: Good thing we aren't pedestrians

Michael: And good thing we can run as fast as you are on your bike!

She sped off after Michael started getting mad.

Haha it was a good time. Back at the park, while we were doing abs, a lady came up to us and said, "hey do you guys want to try a meditation?" What the heck? So we said sure and she led us over to the bridge that goes over the creek, and she told us to sit down with our legs over the side of the bridge, water flowing away from us. She said "I'm going to be quiet for a minute, and I want you guys to look at the water flowing away from you and imagine all your hardships and all the things that are holding you back from reaching your potential flowing away with this water." So then she was quiet and we did as we were told, then she had us come to the other side of the bridge, so the water was flowing towards us. She said "I'm going to be quiet again, but this time I want you to imagine all the good things you want in life and in running flowing into you, with this water." After she sat there for a little bit, she said "alright I'm going to go now but you guys can stay as long as you want."

What on earth?! Lol it was quite the day. Then we ice bathed and went home.
