We did 1000s today.  We warmed up for 20ish minutes then went and did the workout.  I think our coach made our workout impossible just to see how hard we would push ourselves.  We were supposed to do 4x1000m at our mile pace.  I hit 2:54 the first one 2:56 the second one and on the third I hit 2:59.  Coach saw that we were dying so he had us do an 800 instead of the last 1000.  He told us to go at 2:20 pace.  I was already so dead from the 1000s but I tried to do it.  I ran a 71 second split the first 400 and then I died hardcore.  I ran the 800 in 2:37.  It felt so awful.  Afterwords we did a cool down.  It was a pretty slow cool down but I was dying so I fell a little bit behind.  We went and took an ice bath in the river and many of the guys decided that today was a good day to get initiated.  

Shout out to Justin for beating me in the 800.

We had a pretty easy strength training today.  We did Boneville today and it was awful.  I hurt from yesterdays workout so I wanted to do something easy and not fast but everyone else decided to go do Boneville.  We went and found a new trail and it is called Boneville Backwoods.  Jamison and Spencer and I just went the normal trail while everyone else went on that.  On the way back we saw Russell, Seth, and Steven had found a cave up on the mountain side.  It was pretty cool.  We came back pretty quickly and we are all going to be done for it tomorrow in our workout out.  It is 8-10 400's at 66 pace for Lil Warner Galen and I, then 67 pace for Jamison.  Jamison's favorite workout is 400's so he will probably be going at the 66 pace and I am awful at 400's so I'll probably go at 67-68 pace hopefully.  I don't know how I will do since we killed it yesterday and today instead of recovering, yet still getting good mileage, somewhat so that we can actually do speed.

Did 9x400's.  It wasn't very fun.  Afterward we had to run a jr high track meet.  I got to be the announcer and it was fun.  I went home and went to mutual and we went ice skating.  It was pretty fun but I really needed to be doing homework because I'm exhausted and need sleep since I haven't been in bed before midnight for the week and I have had early morning seminary. I'm trying to get a decent night sleep tonight and a good night sleep tomorrow because we have the meet on friday.  I can also sleep at the meet because I'm running the 3200 and it starts really late.

Shout out to Justin for keeping up right next to the top group on all of the 400's.

Short run today.  We have a meet tomorrow so it wasn't very far.  I had to go home and study for the final tomorrow in American Studies.  Racing the 2 mile and 400 in the meet.

We ran at the Mountain Valley Invite.  It was really fun.  I ran just the 2 mile.  It was so much fun.  I got first, Jamison got 2nd, and Galen got 4th.  We slowed down in the race because none of us wanted to lead and at the beginning of the race a guy from salem hills was leading.  We caught up to him and just stayed with him until the final lap.  On the final lap I started in 5th place but we were a really tight pack.  I ran up and got in first by the 100 meter mark on the last lap.  Then at the 200 I got a pretty big lead.  Then I just took it in.  I ended up running a 62 last lap.  It felt so good.  It was really fun.  Did a good cool down and got a little bit of mileage.  I felt pretty great after running this.  The sprinters told me that they were impressed with my last lap so that was pretty cool.

I was extremely tired so I didn't go as far as I had planned.  I was hoping to do 11 miles so I would get 45 miles this week but I ran in the afternoon because I was reffing soccer this morning while the team ran.  I ran up to Bonneville and then decided I was going to do the mountain run.  I went all the way over there and ran some of it then I ran into craik who had also missed the run this morning.  I turned around because he was going back where I was coming from and ran to the end of that then started heading backwards on the Mountain Run.  It was really hot so I was dead and I had already been out in the sun for a while reffing and I had just eaten so I turned back around to head home.  I went home and ended up with 50 minutes and 30 seconds.  It was really tiring but felt good to get the race somewhat out of my legs.  I may do more later tonight.
