Adam's Running

Ran to the pole and then home on the canal.

Workout today 4,2,4,2,4,2,4. I hit 69, 65, 63, 64 on the 400's and 32, 33, 31, 28 for the 200's.

Later I ran the 3 mile loop and I felt great. 

Nobody but Little Warner was at practice today due to prom so we went don to the stop sign and back at Art Dye.

I missed the bus to the meet because I took a nap and overslept, so I got a ride with Tommy. We got to the meet and started warming up, I was supposed to be the fastest in the second heat, but when I went to check in they told me that I was in the fast heat.

The race started and I immediately faded into last place because they were hauling. I came through the 400 mark at 65. That was way too fast. I just hung on to the back of a kid from Hunter and we both fell off of the main group. I stayed behind him all the way through to until the last 100m where I surged past him and beat him by half a second. Afterwards I found out he was a freshman too.

The two mile was cool because it was under the lights. It went out and I stayed with the second pack, which was a bad idea because at 1200 I realized we were going way to slow and I tried to get up to the next group but they were too far ahead. I ended up passing a couple more people and finishing in about 10:35. It was super dumb though because in the mile they had me at 4:38 and int he two mile they had me at 11:00. 

Had a sprint workout today. 4,2,2,1,1,1,1. Pretty dang easy. Cooled down for a couple miles to the time machine.

3 easy miles before region tomorrow.

Got to leave school today at 11:00 which was pretty sick. got there about 12:30 and sat around playing cards and stuff for two hours and then we started warming up it came a lot faster than I thought it would. We lined up and I was the sixth seed.The gun went off and I immediately got boxed in at like 12th place. at 200m I finally got out and caught up to the leaders which was two AF kids and Mike. One AF kid just took off and we never saw him again. Then I just hung behind Mike for a while. Then with 800m to go I passed Mike and the AF kid I was second coming in at 200m when another AF kid came tearing by me. I tried to follow but couldn't. MIke got me with 50m to go and we both sprinted to the finish. I thought that I got him at the very end but we will never know who actually won, because he just gave his sticker first. final results said we came in at 10:28.84 and .86. Afterward watched Tommy PR and get 10:10. Cooled down and waited for Pole Vault to get over which took forever. 

Today was the last race of track season for me so I really wanted to go out out on a good note. At Herriman they screwed up my time and said I ran a 4:38 which is ten seconds fast. So I was in the fast heat. I was the slowest one by seed time by 8 seconds with my real time. I warmed up a little talked to Maddie and Emily from AF, and watched Tommy beat Jon with a kick! Too funny to see Jon's face when Tommy beat him.

I lined up in third to last between Zac Jacklin, and Daniel Bentley from AF. They told us the whole schpeel then fired the gun and we were off. I was in the back at the beginning, but was still was leading on a kid from Bingham and Caleb from AF. The first lap I followed behind Zac and Daniel and came through at 66. I couldn't hold on to them much longer after that and faded off of them a little, but still came through 800 at 2:17. The third lap I just followed behind Caleb on the straightaways because he was running in the second lane lane the whole time. On the back stretch the kid from Bingham surged ahead and I just didn't have the legs to go with him. Our 1200m split was 3:33. At that point I surged past Caleb and just went all out for the next 300m and passed the line in 4:42. I was too pumped for a six second PR. Afterwards I did a little cool down. 

Golf course run.

Ran Hog's Hollow today with David because his mission farewell is tomorrow. There was seven of us that met at Legacy at seven. I got to say it got me too pumped for summer Cross Country. I forgot how rough it was going up but it was too fun at the same time. On the way down when we were flying down the trail I almost biffed a couple times but it never actually happened. We met Adam at sliding rock because I guess he had forgotten to set his alarm. The water was so cold and I almost slipped climbing up the rock way but I got up fine eventually. I had never done it before so it looked to sketch when you see them flying down this waterfall bouncing off the rocks and everything. I was second to last and I went it surprisingly didn't hurt at all. The bad part was when you hit the bottom and are completely submerged in the water. I came up and it was so cold. I got my shoes on and we ran back down to Legacy. I got to say, I think this is my favorite run we do.

Track workout. two sprint laps and 4 200's.

At practice we did a dam run. It was like 95 degrees out so it felt perfect to get into the water at the mouth of the canyon. Later I did 4 miles with my sister on her bike while she delivered cupcakes.

Today was JV Region. Me, Tommy, Mike, and COle decided to do every single track event ( Except for hurdles). We ended up doing the 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 4x100, and 4x400. Somehow we got third in the 4x100, and I won my heat of the mile.

Today we ran up Mount Mahongony. At one point we climbed up a rock face. bad idea. We got stuck on a foot wide ridge. we had to climb along the face of the cnayon until we found a spot to climb out. It was super cool because once we hit the trees at the top we ran straight into a cloud. It was kind of trippy because you turn around and look down the mountain, and can't see anything below but fog. We got to the top made three wishes at the tree of knowledge and headed back down. I almost biffed it so many times. I have no clue how far it actually was but it was hard enough to be 20.

Ran the golf course loop and home on the CH golf course.

Ran Canyon road loop then down past Tommy and Waltons before heading home.

Today me and Cole Gray were just going to bandit it for a long run. The race started and we were with the leaders for a bout a mile when we saw the 1:35 pacer getting far ahead. We figured we would just run with him for the whole race and we surged up to him. after about six miles we were feeling good and went ahead we piicked up the pace and eventually came through winning in 1:28.

Ran a backwards mountain run today. It was so hot outside I almost died.

Easy miles before the race tomorrow.

Today was the school 5k. Jon and Cole Gray showed up with some of the girls and sprinters which was cool. We waited around until they finally started it. I was in the lead right off the bata with Jon and Jake Keate. After about half a mile though Jon dropped back to help pace Jensen, who was going to try to pace Jensen to a sub 19. After that i just ran on my own with the motorcycle for a while. Once we got to the home stretch I was ready to kick but forgot how long it was. I used it up too early and ended up up jogging across the finish. But16:52 a PR and school record!!!! 

Afterwards I cooled down with Cole and Jon. Then we wentover talked to Miles Battie. No big deal. 

ran dwon to art  dye and up on the golf course.
