*Leave*A*Legacy*

Good day today!  Wasn't feeling the best but still was a good run.  We did a modest run, played two games, and then ran back.  It was 3 even getting there so 6 total plus with two twelve minute games we got some solid mileage.  Also we leave to camp tomorrow so I'm stoked for that!

Shout out to Watson because I saw her on her run!

Easy day today.  Warm up, then to the start of the Alpine days 5k.  We ran the course at a super easy pace, then Ryan said to do a 2 mile tempo at 6:00 pace then 2 more miles at 7 flat pace.  Felt tired but it was pretty easy.  We were talking the whole time and went 5:48 then 6:03 on the tempo so right where we were supposed to be.  We also had a ping pong tournament at my house after which was a good time!

Also last time seeing spencer in at least 3 years so that is sad!  He has been a really great friend and will be missed!

4 easy miles at camp

Ran up a crazy hill!  Basically like the wall but for 2 miles.  Lol, I only stopped and walked once for 10 seconds, and 2 times for like 2 seconds.  It was so brutal.  Also it was cold so my legs were dying.  

Easy 4 in the night

Also shout out to Dawson because together we won the canoe race as well as spikeball.  We also had a game of volleyball set up, Dawson, Ali, Amanda and I versus Coach Ryby, Coach Courtney, and their spouses but ryan got injured while playing soccer against us so we couldn't do it.  

First 5 going up were calm (except for kaleb pushing the pace), then next 5 were a tempo run, seth wasn't feeling too good but he raged on the hills yesterday but Craik was feeling good so we tempoed at 5:45 pace for the 5 miles.  It felt pretty good!  We also played a lot of soccer, volleyball, and cards.  It was super fun!  Our night run was chasing cows cuz some cows escaped but it was only the varsity guys.  The rest did a service project and pick up rocks in a field so the owner could plow the field so after we got the cows in we helped with them.

10 death miles lol.  First 2 felt alright but the muscles that lift the legs were dead and it was a big elevation gain so the rest of the 5 out were tough like 8-9 minute pace.  Then we tempoed down which felt good, just 6:15 pace so it wasn't hard.  Tomorrow we have the Alpine Days 5k so I'll be looking towards breaking 20 with how my legs are feeling. 

Fun day today even though I was completely destroyed from the past week.  Warmed up just under a mile and a half and did a few strides.  Race started and Seth, Justin, Craik, Kaleb, Lil' Warner, Josh and I broke from the pack pretty quick.  Then Seth started going ahead so I went with him.  We hit the mile at 5:04.  After this he was a little tired so he slowed a tiny bit so I tried to surge and get a gap on him but he responded and then he tried to do it on me but I responded as well.  We came through at 10:08 for 2 miles and then we hit cemetery hill and I died. lol.  I was football shuffling up it (probably even slower then that) because ever since the first day of camp when we ran up the 2300 elevation gain my legs haven't been able to handle up hill well.  Seth pulled away by like 75 meters.  I finally made it up the hill and went on the chase.  I cruised down and was chasing him all the way back.  Mile 3 was a 5:13 so that put me at 15:21.  Then we kicked it in and I had chased down seth to like 5 meters but he got me so shout out to him!  Last part was 4:40 pace in 31 seconds.  Felt exhausted from camp but felt strong during the race so I'm excited for when I am well rested!  Cooled down, got to stand on the podium, then went with Galen and Lil' Warner on 5 mile loop with a few little cuts.  So got 70 miles on the week.
