| Y'all can be super proud of me because I ran 2.5 miles today and my foot didn't hurt. Sorry I haven't been on the blog, I've been on the bikes working my butt off, I promise.
Anyway, I warmed up a mile on the turf just to feel things out. It felt so good. We had speed today, 12x400m. The first 4 at 5k pace, second 4 at 2-mile pace, and last 4 at mile pace, with the last one being all out. Because of not wanting to push my foot too hard, I did the first 2 sets on the bike next to the track. Then came the last set.
The times I hit for the last set were 65, 65, 67, and 59. The first one my form felt a little weird because I've been on the bikes, but after that it got better and better. My form honestly felt better then it ever has, and apparently it was noticeable because Coach G noticed and told me my form was phenominal #perfectformclub. It feels so amazing to be running, and I'm going to make sure to listen to my body this week so I don't hurt myself before region.

| We warmed up 1 mile of the turf, and my foot still felt good. Then I did 1 mile of speed changes and a half mile cool down. Then I finished the rest on the bikes. I'm so glad to be running again! Shout out to Connor because he visited UVU the last couple days, so that's sick! |

| We had region today, and let me tell ya, it was a great thing. We warmed up a mile, did our drills in the starting area, and got our box. The boxes were sick because everyone could fit on the front line. So the race started, and today was different than anything else previously. I was relaxed, strong, and insanely competitive the first mile. 4:52, came through in 3rd place. Then the second mile happened, and I began to slip mentally. 5:15, with a 10:07 2-mile split, also happening to be my new 2-mile PR. The last mile was 5:33, and I had a decent kick the last .12. All in all today was a solid step in the right direction with a new 5k PR by 17 seconds, 16:10. Here's what I'm going to do next time. I'm still going to go out at whatever pace feels good for the day. At that point, I'm going to lock in my position and not let anybody pass me. Period. Then the last mile I'm going to move up and finish strong. The biggest thing I can do to get better is be more competitive the whole time. The first mile I was very very competitive, but after the first 1.75 miles, I wasn't near as competitive. Shout out to everyone who came to watch the race today, and to Coach Jamie for being awesome |

| We did whistle hills up airport today, and I felt very solid. My foot didn't hurt, and I was able to stay in a really good position the whole time as well as being able to push the pace the last 1.5 sets.

| We warmed up a mile on the turf and then did 2 miles of speed changes. My foot felt good the whole time so that was great! We also found a tennis ball on the turf and we were passing that around, and on my first lap of speed changes I was focusing on catching the ball and I ate it on a pad on the turf. My knee got skinned pretty good so that's sick. Shout out to my grandparents because it's their anniversary! |

| State. Wow. Before I get ahead of myself, I'll start from the beginning. We got to the meet pretty early so we could watch a lot of the other races. We saw PV race, and they killed it, so shout out to them, especially Nick Hill because he won, nbd. Also PV girls, you killed it and it's time to focus on nxr. As a famous song says, the past is in the past, let it go. Guppy killed it in her race and it was super cool to see her go out there and get work done. She got 14th overall and str8 killed it. When we first got there I saw a long lost friend Madi from ol SF, so shout out to her because catching up with her was pretty great. Then came our race. The culmination of the season, smashed into around 16 minutes. Going in to the race, Jamie and coach G made it very clear that they believed in us and our abilities, and knew that we could accomplish amazing things. We got warmed up, and I was surprisingly calm and collected. At the same time I was ready to go. We did our strides, prayer, and cheer in the box, and let me just say, I freaking love our cheer because everyone always stares at us after it. It's fantastic. So the gun went off, and I was just focused on staying calm. No way was I going to go out too fast and die. I don't know what my splits were, but the first mile felt good. I was right behind Joe, and I did my best to stick with him, Michael, and Austin from then on. We picked it up a little bit and passed some guys, but I mostly held my position. At the top of the hill by the road above the playground Jamie was cheering, telling me that I was strong. That really helped, and I was hungry to pass more people. I threw in a surge, passed a couple guys, and pushed it down the hill. Then the third and final mile came, much faster than expected, and I realized, this is it. This is the last mile of the last race of the official season, at state. What choice am I going to make? I chose to keep pushing, and I finished strong in 16:13 and 34th place. Although this was a good race individually fo me, I can do better. There is still a gap between my speed workouts and races, so I talked to Jamie and we'll see what I can change mentally to kill it at NXR. The team as a whole did amazing. We got second place and reached our goal of bringing home a trophy. I love my team so much and I'd do anything for any one of those guys. We screamed our cheer at the top of our lungs on the track afterwards, and it was fire. We then got our trophy and took a victory lap, cuz why not? It was seriously cool to see the support we got from our whole team and how much they cared about how we did, so shout out to them. Another shout out to my family and non-running pals who came to support, love you guys. After a cool down on cloud 9, we proceeded to pizza pie cafe where we stuffed our faces with the best tasting pizza I've had in a long time. Also shout out to all those who read to this point, you da real mvp's. Last but not least, our team still has things to prove, so watch out at NXR. |

| 4 miles easy, I kept the pace super easy today, for some reason I felt like I needed it. Maybe because I was up till 1:00 last night... Anyway, tomorrow we have our first speed since state, and to be honest I'm pretty excited for it. It's a workout we have really done ever, but it sounds fun! |

| We did a mile warmup on the turf then got started on the workout! The original plan was to do a 4 mile progression run, starting at 6:00, then dropping 10 seconds every mile, the last one being 5:30. On the watch my splits were 5:50, 5:49, 5:33, and 5:18. The first couple miles were pretty easy, like we were talking a little the first bit. I still felt strong the last two miles, but the last mile was fast. Thom and Ryan picked it up quite a bit and I let them go. I shouldn't have let them go, but I did and I still finished faster than planned. I was caught up in watching my watch and trying to stay on pace, which was good, but I feel like we should've stayed as a group. I'm not saying it's their fault, I needed to step it up a little bit. I have mixed feelings about how it went today, but I'm for sure happy that I was able to hit the splits I hit on legs that are still pretty tired. You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you are just groggy and unresponsive? That's how my legs have felt, I think the speed today woke them up a little bit though, which is good. Shout out to Connor because he's been visiting a lot of colleges recently, it's super cool to see him do the things he's doing this season, as well as all the other guys on the team, we've all put in work and it's time to get a return on our payment at NXR. |

| Just an easy 3 today because I went over yesterday, I'll be going 3 tomorrow too. Why can't my body just take the high mileage? Anyway, we watched without limits at my house, and if you haven't seen it, I strongly recommend it. You may have to skip through a couple parts, but it's a sick movie about Pre. |
