Progression run today. Its 7:30, 7:00, 6:30, 6:00, 5:40, 5:30, 5:20, 5:10 all on the track. Was feeling ok during the first 4 miles, then my stomach started to hurt. I tried to push through, and led for most of the 5:30 and 5:20, but as soon as we finished the 5:20 I had to stop. My stomach has been hurting ever since we finished like 4 hours ago which sucks. Afterwards we took an ice bath.

Up at a visit to Weber State, went for a trail run on upper bonneville shoreline with the team. We were going pretty quick, and I was feeling good until the last three miles my stomach started hurting, and I had to go to the bathroom. Last mile was rough but I got through it. I think I've had a stomach bug for the last couple days cuz my stomach has just been all over the place. Run was fun overall tho, lots of cool trails up there. Later went and had dinner at lucky slice (some of the best pizza I've ever had) then went and hung out at Braden's house. Fun stuff.

Finished up our visit with Weber this morning. It was a lot of fun and the coaches and team are all great. When we got home I went and took a nap cuz I was beat, then did the workout later by myself. Had my wonderful girlfriend Ali there to time me so that was nice since my watch died. Just did a warmup 400 in 67, then took a couple minutes and raced an all out 400. I ended up in 55.6 so I was very happy considering I was by myself and there was a nasty wind on the homestretch. I think in an actual race I could go 53 high-54 low right now. Took a couple more minutes of rest then did an 800 in 2:20ish.

Everyone else ran during lunch, so it was just Jonas and I running during track class. We did Alpine loop. I think since it was just me and him he was able to focus a little better, and he actually kept up just fine going around 7 minute pace. When we hit Alpine highway a construction machine drove up next to us and I just kind of started racing it. it was going top speed which was probably a little over 10 mph so for those 2.5ish miles I was going sub 6:00 pace. When we got back I did 6x100m strides, then went over to Will's house for a bit.

Did the same loop as last Saturday, that goes up by lambert then drops in from above sliding rock. We were going pretty fast for most of it, and it was just a swell time overall. Dustin ran with us which was fun.

Later I had a churchball game, only four guys showed up so we forfeited but they let us play for fun. Even tho we had four dudes we still won and I had like 25 points and a gnarly half court buzzer beater at halftime.

Accidentally slept in, so I went for a run by myslef at about 9:30. Went up on Bonneville, then dropped down to the canal. When I got to the canal I ran into Colin, Asa, and the Hinckleys from Lehi. They were headed the same direction I was going so I finished their last 3 miles with them back to Highland glen. It definitely made it a funner time so shoutout to them. When I got back I did 6x100 strides on the track, then ran home.

first real speed workout today, we did 800, 600, 400, 800, 600, 400. Felt decent, moreso on the 800's than anything else. Times were 2:18, 1:39, 65, 2:17, 1:43, 66. Felt tired due to only getting like 3 hours of sleep haha. I also got arrested last night/this morning for trespassing which was absolute garbage. Now I have to go to court on the 30th :((

today we did Alpine run, then Jamison and I did a mile barefoot on the grass. Kept the pace comfortable, not fast not slow but just right.

So we had 6x800 today, and it was ugly. I had been feeling crappy all day, but I decided to try the workout anyway. I started with a 2:23 and it was tough, but not quite fast enough so on the next one I ran 2:20 and it almost killed me. On my third one I came through in 69, then faded to 2:25. After this one I felt dizzy so I sat one out before hopping back in. I came through the first 400 in 76 and decided to call it a day. It was really hot outside but I was freezing, and I just felt an overall feeling of crappiness. I tried cooling down, but couldn't so I went home and went to bed instead.

Felt a lot better so I went to practice and did hogs. On the long graadual uphill part I didn't want to push too hard cuz of my recent sickness, so I just kind of chilled on the way up while Jamison, Craik, Justin, and Ryan all pushed ahead. Coming down there was quite a bit of snow and ice, which made for a kinda sketchy but fun time. the last couple miles on the road, everybody took off again, but I just hung back and chilled with Chris whos recovering from a hamstring injury.

workout today, 1200, 800, 800, 400, 400, 400. Felt kinda weak from my sickness still so tried my best and did pretty much the whole workout, even tho it was unbelievably rough for me. First 1200 I told myself to just run with the top group and we hit 3:37. On the 800 I kind of died the second 400 and ran 2:23. Next 400 I dropped out halfway thru and took a bunch of extra recovery before the 400's. They were rough, but I managed to keep them under 70 haha, at 67, 66, 69. Definitely still not feeling 100%, but I was at least able to finish this one so I'm happy.

Spent the last three days sick and unable to run. sucks, but on the bright side I have had all day to watch basketball so I guess it couldve been worse. My backet had a very good first round, I got the whole South and West regions right, but my picks from here on out are not looking too hot. And of course I had Michigan State winning.

workout by myself, (800, 600, 400) x 2. did it at AF for a change of scenery. Watch died on the warm up so I ended up not timing them. Probably a good thing since ive been sick and they were'nt fast anyways.

workout today. Feeling healthy again, just don't quite have the legs back. Definitely a step in the right direction tho. times were 67, 67, 67, 67, 67, 65, 66, 67, 70, 72. Fell off at the end, but I was happy to get through it and be able to run fast for most of it.

had a quick workout before the junior high meet. 2x(600, 400, 200) times were 1:42, 65, 30, 1:40, 62, 30. Felt a lot better today, and was with the top group the whole time which was nice.
