*Leave*A*Legacy*

Relatively easy run.  Did Mountain run which I have missed doing.  Then did some pushups and planks then went to a church and balled.  Also getting excited for Ragnar which will be a fiesta!!!

And if anyone wants to come hike tomorrow Spencer Trevor and I and maybe some other people are going so let me know if you want to.

Quality day today!  Picked up the usual crew and headed to practice but then drove over to Lehi's practice cuz we were gonna have a ragnar team meeting but I got switched out of the van to the other van.  So now I'm leg 3, which is much tougher so it won't be as fast but it should be a good time.  Did abs and hips which were freakin exhausting and then went straight home to grab some water and head out on a hike with Spencer Trevor and Seth.  Went up, got lost, ran a mile to find a turn around point then also did 6+ miles of hiking also getting lost.  We went up to Lake Pittsburg which was quite awesome but it was too cold to jump in.  Then got home for like 30 minutes then headed up to the RSL game with Austin Hinckley, Ryan Johnson, and Shawn Mills.  RSL won in a PK shoot out which was pretty sick!   

Oh and also shout out to TKnorr and me for making a snowman on our hike, it's name is Winifred so if you see a snowman up by Lake Pittsburg know that we made it. 

Quite the run today.  Ran middle spring and on the trail Trevor rolled his ankle pretty bad so we got off the trail and hit the road and I ran back to get a car.  We thought Trevor might have fractured it because he had done it multiple times before so I flew down and got a solid tempo in... lol and almost a new two mile PR. Split a 4:29 then 5:05.  So haha I ran a 9:34 on the road coming down.  Quite the tempo.  

Good run but tiring because some of the xc guys went camping last night and making it back to practice was kind of rough but felt alright on the run.  A couple of the miles were sub 6:30 but in general a pretty calm run.  Really excited for Ragnar tomorrow!

Shout out to our team captain Jacob for throwing a pasta party!  Right now I feel like I'm in the best shape I've ever been so I'm pretty stoked.  I also have a 2 mile down hill leg so I'm going for sub 9 on that.  It will be great!

Race 1. It was blazing hot and took off too fast. Went 5:11 for first then went 2 more sub 6's then 6:01 and then just slowed a bit from there. Heat killed me and it was all flat til the end then it was up hill. It was long and hot so it was rough. I pitifully made it up the hill and then kicked it in to Bill. Shout out to the lehi alumni squad for being such a dope team! 7 kills.

Later in the coolness of night I ran my second leg, 2 miles downhill for the most part.  I decided I was going to push it hard on this leg and I went crazy.  I hit 4:22 for the first mile and then went 4:24 for the second then the last .01 was 3 seconds.  It was really fun doing that.  I got to the exchange zone 5-10 minutes before the van did because they had to go through a detour.  It was quite the exciting leg! 11 kills.

Started at like 5:30 in the morning and it was quite cold so I had to have a jacket and the reflective vest junk. First 3.5 miles got 38 kills then got one more at 3.75 then I didn't see anyone until 5.8 miles in. That was a rough stretch. Finally saw someone and pushed harder up to them and from then on I could generally see runners up ahead and I would just go catch them. Last 3 miles went by super fast and felt great. First 3 were also great but the middle 3 were a struggle. 64 kills.  Shout out to my awesome teammates especially my van who were super lit and special shout out to McKinley (even though she doesn't have a blog) because it was the greatest thing seeing her all caffinated up before her run.  I had the greatest team ever and had so much fun!  Super great time!

Later did 3 easy with Connor and a barefoot mile which was quite nice.  Also took an ice bath after which felt heavenly.
