Adam's Running

So Walton took us on a run to go to find a cave up in the foothills but as we kept going up and up we couldn't find it. The after a while it was down to me, Mahonri, and Walton we decided that there was no backing down now and we went all the way up the side of the mountain to the top of Mount Mahogony and down. I have no clue how far we actually went so I'll call it 7.

At practice I came and there was a note on the door that said,

Galen,

Mahonri, the twin, and I had to leave early so sorry we left you

Sincerely L.W. (The Chap)

So I waited for Parker and we did 2 and a half miles. I doubt they will let him stay on the team because he was dead tired afterwards and we were going SLOW. Afterwards I ran home the canal way.

Later I did the Canyon road loop. 

Practice cancelled today because the sophomores and seniors got the day off, and the juniors took the ACT. So I did a Temple run at about nine.

First day of track. The Bybees aren't coaching anymore:(  So Revelli is the coach. He had us do 16x100m repeats at mile pace. Interesting workout. Wasn't hard at all. Afterward we ran around the park for a while.

Had another workout. 12x100m hill repeats. They were at mile pace so they weren't very hard. Afterward Walton, the Asian, and Adam ran with me down to AF and back.

Ran to the cave. It's just a random hole in the side of the mountain that's like 20 feet deep. Usually it's used for rolling doobies but whatevs.

Today we had a two mile time trial. It started out with everybody in a big pack and for some reason we were going really slow. We were talking casually the first lap or two. We went through one mile in 5:55. That is dang slow. so the second one I started to pick it up a little bit. Then me and Little Warner pulled away from the group. We finished with a pretty fast 800. I finished in 11:21, and Little Warner was a couple of seconds faster. I was really surprised when I looked back and saw that I was beating Adam and Mahonri by quite a bit. I hope to go a lot faster this weekend at Timpanogas.

We ran down to the top of the hill at the top of Art Dye, and ran tempo back which was about a mile. Then we played tag for the first time with all the new guys. afterward I ran home the WalMart way.

Couldn't run today due to a physical.

Day before a race so I didn't really run.

Mile time trial today. 5:00.4. So close.

I woke up, ate breakfast, and headed to the bus at 7:30. There were a lot of the distance guys missing. We got to Timpview high school at about 8:15 and waited around, looking at the heat sheets and stuff while we waited for the meet to get started. It was supposed to start at 9:00, but they took over an hour to fix it, so we got started at about 10:15.

First was the mile. We warmed up for a couple of laps and did a couple of strides before heading to the line. The gun went off and I made sure that I got off really fast so I wouldn't have to deal with moving around people right off the bat. I was in fourth at 200 where the lady called out 31,32. That was way too fast so I slowed it down a little and came through 400m in 70 seconds. At that point there was a couple people that passed me, so I just stayed on Mahonri's tail for the next two laps. On the last lap we started moving up and I tried to stay with Mahonri but I just couldn't. I still passed like three people though. My official time was 4:57.70. PR!!! Jon got second, Mahonri got third, I got sixth, and Tommy got seventh. So we scored a good chunk of points in that event.

The two mile was not fun. Tommy, and Cole Gray had to leave before it so I was only person from Lone Peak in the race. I warmed up a little and headed to the line. The gun went off and the race immediately shaped into what it would be the whole time. three guys took off ahead while I stayed a little behind with some kid from Lehi. The kid from Lehi fell off hard after a lap and I was in no mans land for about two more laps until I started lapping people. I had no clue what pace I was going the whole time, because nobody was calling splits and there was no one around me. I just kept on churning out laps until on my seventh I saw the guy in third had faded off the front two. I kept picking up my speed until with about 200m to go I was only about 5 meters behind him, but then he started his kick while I had used up most of mine trying to catch him. I finished in fourth. Afterward Revelli told me that my time was 10:57. Another PR!!! And 5 points to add.

The final score of the meet was Lone Peak 181, then second was Green River in 92. I had seven of those points! 

Today I came to practice and Cole Gray was doing some extra mileage in the school so I joined him for two miles, then headed out and did some laps with Walton and Mahonri. Our workout was 3x1200m at two mile pace. We did our first one in 4:18, then 4:00, then 3:57. So a little faster than two mile pace. Afterward we cooled down for a couple miles.  

Had to do a workout with the sprinters. 200m repeats. 

Another track workout today. 1200,800,800,1200. Not too rough. cooled down a couple of miles after.

We convinced Misty to let us not go with the sprinters because coach Revelli wasn't there. We ran along the canal down to the place where it goes under the road kind of by PG. Then we came back.

Ran down to Art Dye and played fish out of water. Was very windy on the way back.

Did 2 mile repeats at 5:30 pace. than an 800 at like 2:26. Afterward I cooled down.

Did 12 strides across the field, than ran to the pond and back.

Today we had a dual meet against Lehi. It started out with the mile as the first event so they could be running hurdles at the same time. The gun went off and I jumped out fast so I wouldn't have to fight through a billion Lehi kids( There is a ton of them.). The first went by pretty fast and I was right behind the lead group. The order didn't change much through the second as we went through in 2:23 at 800m. I dropped off pretty hard on the third lap so I was a good five seconds behind the lead pack and two Lehi kids passed me. On the home straight Mike caught up with me and he ended up beating me by a second. I did not think we were going as fast as we were, but Im always happy with a PR.

The two mile was rough. We started out as a pack of four and no Lehi kid ever passed us. We went through the first mile in 5:28, which was perfect. The second mile though I just didn't have the legs and ended up finishing in third with an 11:12. Not very good.

Ran a leg of the 4x4 after too but I was so tired I split like a 70 or something. 

Ran down to the Art Dye stop sign and back.

Ran around behind Lone Peak.

So we got to the race and did some warm up on the track and then went over to see what heat we were in. We still had a while because they were running all six girls heats first. So we laid down on the grass with the AF guys for a little than headed out for a kind of warm up. We got back and got our numbers then waited in the bullpen area for a while. They finally let us do our strides then lined us up. I was number 8 so I had a pretty good position. The gun went off and I hopped to the back of the pack because I had the slowest time out of the whole race. I shouldn't have even been in that heat but I was running in Marc's place so it said I had a 4:45 PR. I was in dead last coming through the first lap in like close to 70 flat.The second lap I moved passed some guys and came through at like 2:23 I think. Our third lap slowed quite a bit but I passed one more guy. On the last lap I kicked it in and passed the guy from Lehi who had beaten me at every other race. 4:49 PR!!!!!!!

Afterwards did a cool down and then stayed around and watched for 12 and a half hours!
