Distance run, I think my average pace was around 6:40/mile. we were going pretty slow for most of it but sped up a lot on the way back. Last mile in 5:45, so not too good for a "recovery" run. Ice bathed after at the Spring of Living Waters, it's back on now so that's dope. Shout out to Mama Hinckley for always killing that post-run snack game, she's seriously the best.

Fun Fact of the Day: I found out that Singapore means "Lion City" even though no indigenous Lions have ever existed there. Other misnomers: Peanuts aren't actually nuts but legumes, coconuts are actually drupes, kosher salt isn't really kosher, and Avogadro didn't really find Avogadro's constant (6.02x10^23) it was just named after him later. Check out the video "Misnomers" by Vsauce for more sick and somewhat useless facts...

Speed workout today. we did 2x(200,800,400,200,200) at mile pace for BYU. I didn't have my watch but my first set was 31, 2:19, 67, 31, 31. I went around the same speed for the second I think, which is faster than my goal mile pace, but it felt pretty good. After that, we just supported our homies at the JV meet, slayed hecka babes, downed a whole gallon of chocolate milk, and got turnt/sunburnt. Twas a good day. Shout out to Brady for providing a bounteous post-icebath meal for me and connor.

Fun fact of the day: 14 squirrels were arrested and detained in Iran for espionage in 2007, also Katy Perry's cat is named "kitty purry"

Slow distance run today with the homies ft. Brad. It was super hot and I felt pretty drained but we survived. After we did a few 150 meter buildups.

Fun fact of the Day: The drug lord Pablo Escobar stated that he spent as much as $2,500 a month on rubber bands just to hold the money together. #fatstacks #goals

Distance run today with a few downhill strides. Me and Thom just ran down the hill at the cemetary, Ice bath after with all the homies. ps I totally nailed a trampoline backflip shot in a gnarly game of horse.

Fun Fact of the Day: Russia classified beer as food until 2013 so basically all of their "foodies" are just secretly alcoholics.

Short distance run today with pre-meet. The two 400s that I ran were in 68 and 67, tomorrow I'm shooting for 69s so it was a little fast. I didn't run today but nearly everyone that did was amazing to watch. Shout out to Brinn for qualifying for state in the 200 and almost making the 400. Shout out to my good friend Garek for slaying the 2 mile with a 9:22 or something, Also to my boy Conner Mantz for being the only one sub-9 with a 8:58. That 2 mile was just such a sick race to watch. 

Fun Fact of the Day: NASCAR doesn't actually require participants to have a driver's license and the name "Jessica" was invented by William Shakespeare. Also, these facts have nothing to do with each other.

Finally got to the BYU invite today. I loved hanging out and racing here with such a stacked field and plentiful babes to get shut down by. My race was pretty good too, I wanted to go sub-4:40 but I still pr'd by a few seconds so I'll take it. I was in the back for the first lap and then passed people each lap after until I found myself in first place. I really love being in front, but some AF chump ended up passing me and I barely missed out on getting the tape and his 4:39. I guess I need to push just a little bit harder and hopefully I can drop another six seconds at region next week.

Huge shout out TO MY FRICKIN BOY CONNOR!!!! he ran a 4:23 (2nd fastest overall not including golden hour) aaaannndd qualified for state. Sean also killed it with a 7 second PR for a 4:24.8 and missed state qualifying by decimals, He'll get it at region though. Thom also ran a personal best so it was a good day for Lehi.

Other notable preformances include my homies Conner Mantz and Garek for going 4:12 and 4:13. Maybe not as good as conner was hoping for but I probably shed a few tears when he held off Josh Collins at the end for the win. Also Garek just keeps on cutting off time and it blows my mind how fast he is these days. That 4A mile at state this year is going to be ridiculous. One last shout out to my friend and teammate Dylan for re-breaking his own school record with a 1:55 800, He's insane. 

Fun Fact of the Day: I'm sunburned as h*ck right now.
