Today we (the sophomores) went up onto bonneville and decided to go up the mountain. We saw some rock outcroppings so we went there. We hiked/ran up there. It was super steep so it wasn't possible to run up all of it but we ran a decent amount of it. It was tiring. We went a little further than the rocks and went to a lone pine tree that was up there. It was a good time. Going down wasn't as fun cuz it was painful on my knees but not too bad. Up hill is much better than down hill.

We had a good workout today. We did 400 300 400 300 400 300 400 300 400 400. I did good until the last one. I hit 63 46 62 45 62 46 63 46 62 68. In workouts I always struggle with the last one. I do fine in races but in workouts I just can't do them. So I have to work on that. But I'll figure it out and get it all good. But it was a good fast workout. I'm really excited for BYU cuz I'm going to go for the school record in the 800 meters. I just need to run two 59's which I think I can do on a fast track as long it is nice weather. It should be a good time. I also am running the 3200 and I'm in the seeded heat of the mile. I'm not going to go that well cuz the 800 always takes it out of me but oh well. It should be a good time. Hopefully Galen and Lil Warner and Jamison can qualify then.

Had a good time today. We ran down by AF and did a short little loop over there. Then we came back. My friends had asked me to pace them for the mile today at our duel meet cuz they wanted to break 5.  They said they wanted me to hit 73 74 74 and then my coach said I had to drop out at that time. I was the leader for the first 2 laps but then my brother came and passed me on the third lap. I hit the laps perfectly at 73, 2:27, and 3:41. (I just put in the time of my friend who ran in it that I was pacing.)  So it was a good time. I did a little warm up and cool down with them so I got some more mileage then the rest of the guys. It was super fun to run in a duel meet again. I ran in my trainers with my old soccer jersey and my soccer shorts. It was a lot of fun.

We ran and did the tramp run today. Then we stopped to play some whongetball. It was a good time. Then we came back and did some strides. I'm ready for BYU tomorrow and I'm going to go crush the 2 mile. I'm hoping to get 9:25ish. so just under 71 seconds per lap. It should be a good time. The next day won't be quite as good because I am racing the 800 and then I'm racing in the seeded mile. I'm going to die in the mile cuz the 800 is gonna kill me but it should be kinda fun running with all those fast dudes even if I finish 30 seconds behind them.

I did not have a good time racing today. I raced the two mile and I have had a cold for the past 2 days but today was the worst day so far of the cold. I have a stuffy nose and I have a bunch of stuff in my throat. I thought that I could just get past this and go race what I wanted to be hitting so I went out in 70 and kept that pace and came across at 4:40. Then I realized that I was gonna die. I buckled hard and ended up running a 5:01 for my last mile. It was so dreadful. I was really disappointed but I'm hoping to come back strong and race an awesome 800 and mile.

Shout out to Galen and Lil' Warner for qualifying and to jamison for almost qualifying.
