Easy low distance today, 8 miles with the team at a 6:49 average in the rain.

"Dream mile-and-a-half" tomorrow that I've gotta stay fresh for. It's basically a 1.5 mile race with a 300 ft elevation gain and a decent sized hill at the end. It's been a while since someone died so we're probably past due. Hopefully if I don't come back alive I at least get a decent time.

I'm pleased to announce that I have commited to run for BYU on a huge scholarship... Just kidding, although that would be pretty sick. On a side note I am going there though. Shout out to everyone else who got accepted on Friday.

I'm looking forward to some good things coming this month and am super pumped for outdoor. Shout out to Aubrey Argyle for following me on instagram and not twitter... jerk. JK d8 my boy connor.

AM: No school so I ran 4 easy miles (7:06) in the morning with Stewart and Sean before hitting up IHOP for free pancake day. 

PM: 1 mile warm up followed by the 1.5 mile hill race that I mentioned yesterday. I lead the pack the whole way before connor wrecked me at the end. I finished in 8:59 which is around 20 seconds slower than my best, but considering the weather and a fair amount of pancake in my stomach it wasn't to shabby. I ran back to the school in  8:50ish and did another half mile cool down with Sami. Finished it off with 15 minutes of biking and some lifting (aka bench).

I signed up for the AF Half the other day so turn up on June 27th if you're trying to race me or something. Shout out to all of the poor juniors who had to take the ACT today.

Shout out to coach for getting a fast running blog!!!! hit her up @coachjamie.fastrunningblog.com

Pretty standard distance run today. Slowish pace most of the way.

Speed workout today after a mile warm up. We had 5x500 meters at goal 800 meter pace. It was somewhat impossibly unrealistic but it pushed us to shoot for fast times even though we rarely hit them. My 400 splits for each one were 63, 64, 66, 65, and 68. I was way dead at the end and even though the tmes were closer to goal mile pace I still feel good about it. After that, we just finished up around 8 miles and watched the teachers get wrecked in our seniors vs teachers basketball game. More speed to come tomorrow and Saturday.

Me, connor, and brady ran a two mile warm up today before running another mile to the cemetary for whistle hills. we did 3x(15, 20, 25 seconds) all out up the hillwith no rest other than the run back down. It was much less than we've done in the past but I was able to push myself really hard and ended up fairly exhausted by the end. After that, I just ran about 4 more miles with Strrt, Sean, and Thom.

Shout out to Annie for taking me to Morp tonight! I still don't know quite what's going down but am ready to get hecka turnt and go ham at the dance.

More speed tomorrow...

Crazy workout this morning with the whole team. we did 20x400 meters in sets of five getting progressively faster. first five were around 78-80 seconds, 2nd set was 73-75, 3rd set were all in 70, and the last five were about 67. The last set was supposed to be goal mile pace and I was trying to hit 66 for a 4:24 but I was really tired and couldn't quite get it. After that I just ran two more miles at around a 7:00/mile pace and pounded some french toast with my boys.

Shout out to the Hinkleys and all the other parents who cooked us breakfast, and huge shout out to my brothers Darin and Tyler who got their mission calls yesterday. Hopefully I'll get mine next week. Happy national cereal day!
