I ran for American Leaderships Academy my freshman year, so I was in 2A and facing much easier competition than I would in higher divisions. I really only did cross country because it would get me in shape for soccer, But when I realized I was actually good at it I made running my number 1 priority. I barely made it to state, but had a bad race and did not place very well. I decided to try a half marathon in November and did pretty good (considering I had only been running seriously for about 4 months.) I started off track running my fastest time in the mile, and didn't get another pr in the mile until state championships. I realized I was better at the 3200 and thats what I have been focusing on since then. At state track I got prs in all 3 distance events, which was a huge confidence booster!

Sophmore PRs:
My sophmore cross country season went much like last track season. I started off with my fastest time and didn't improve on it until one of the last races. I struggled a lot during this season, I got down on myself after every bad race I had, that was probably my biggest problem. At region I had an absolutely terrible race. We were planning on getting the team qualified for state, and I'm pretty sure it was completely my fault we didn't. Haha yeah it was bad, I ran about a minute slower than what I wanted and got 20th or something. I kept training through to December, did a few races, and had a really succesful race at Footlocker West. I got 14th in the Frosh/Soph race. Even though I got out kicked by two people in the last 100 I was really pleased, especially after that bad season. I started indoor track running 10:37 and 4:49. Soccer conflicted with track a lot and I think it was really detrimental to my times. I'm thinking about not doing soccer next year and just focusing on track. I had a few good races, and managed to destroy this kid in the last 300 meters at region and make it to state! Unfortunately I let the fact the I was seeded last at the state meet get to my head, and I got last by over a hundred meters. Not only the worst race of the season, but also the most humiliating. On to cross country!

Junior PRs:
Junior cross country season went well. It was rough but I had some high points. Finally broke 16 for 3 miles at region with 2nd place, broke an hour in the 10 mile and 34 minutes in the 10k. State xc went really bad. I missed my goal time by 40 seconds and my goal place by 25 people. Footlocker wasn't that great, I got the same time as last year and missed my goals on place and time. Trained really hard with high mileage through the winter.

| | The xc team does a camp for all the varsity boys and girls every year so that goes from today until thursday down in St George. 4 miles in the morning, pretty easy. Later we went swimming for probably an hour and I got so sunburned!

| | 3 miles in the morning. Later in the day we went on a 2.5 mile hike, it was really hot. More swimming.

| | 6 miles in the morning today. So we hiked Angel's Landing today, it was so high! I couldn't believe how the trail just kept going up, it was actually pretty hard. For some reason my friend wanted to run all the way down, and the coach said yes so we all ran down. I wasn't to happy about that, it hurt my knees a lot, but whatever. 5 miles round trip. We got in the river after and cooled off.

| | So today was our only hard day of the camp. We ran a mile then had a mile or so race, I think it was more like 2 kilometers. When we started Heston took the lead and I just stuck with him. Once in a while I would take the lead and push it a little. I was with Heston the whole time until the last hill where he put on a surge and I couldn't follow. Pretty happy with it, I felt pretty good and I know I can keep up with Heston for the most part. Ran all the way back, so probably 5 miles I think.

| | 10 miles pretty relaxed. I felt really good so I did a big surge in the middle for a little more than a mile. I was probably going 5:40 pace.

| | 8 miles. I was going to fit in a 3 mile tempo but my watch was not accurate at all so I decided to do the workout on Monday. I still picked up the pace quite a bit for a few miles, averaged 6:50 for the whole run.

| | Ran 2.5 miles, then did a 2 mile tempo run. I was going to do 3, but I quit at 2 because it felt way harder than it should have. First mile was around 5:55, in pretty sure it was quite a bit faster than that though. Passed 2 miles at 11:30. My legs were wobbly, my form was bad, and I had a headache so it wasn't that great. Finished up to 10 miles.

| | 6 hot, miserable miles. I didn't wake up on time in the morning so I had to go in the afternoon. It was 95 degrees, and not even a little breeze. This was supposed to be easy but it was really tiring running in that heat.

| | Same as Monday. Ran 2.5 then 2 mile tempo. The tempo was much easier but I think it's because I kept losing focus and slowing down. Finished to ten.

| | 5.3 miles kind of fast, definitely sub 7 pace.

| | 10.4 miles. I was going to do my 15 mile long run but after I finished the ten mile loop I stopped for some water and my mom told me I had a scout meeting. So I had to cut it short. It's ok though I didn't feel great.

| | Went up on the mountains for my run today. It was really steep and I was doing a fartlek type thing. I warmed up for 10 minutes then did 1 minute on, 4 minutes off 5 times. It hurt a lot after the third one. I was probably going 4:50 pace or something on most of them. Total of 3.5 miles. I'm going to do more later.
7 miles later

| | Really good long run. I started feeling sick after a few miles but thankfully it got better. Averaged 8:10 pace. I'm going to work on getting my runs faster.

| | First practice with the Xc team. 5 miles, averaged 6:55. I think our team will be really good this year!

| | 7 miles pretty quick, close to 7 pace. I went at 4:30 am because I had to go to scout camp at 6. It was like a 6 hour drive, we went through escalante and up in the mountains. We camped at posey lake, I think it's 7000 feet so maybe I can get some altitude training while I'm here.

| | We went on a 7 mile hike today, super hot. Later I went running on a trail up the mountain by our camp site. It was really tough and my legs were burning. The

| | Hiked down the hole in the rock where the pioneers went down. It was really cool and we swam in lake Powell after. Didn't have time to run today.

| | Did some hills after the drive home today. 5 sprints up the snake hill, each was about 150 meters. Finished with a few miles cool down. 95 degrees, super tough. 6 miles overall

| | 3 miles early in the morning. I wanted to do a 1.5 mile tempo but I just kept loosing focus and slowing down, so I stopped at .75 miles.
Cross country at 7. We were just supposed to do 50 minutes easy, but thats not what ended up happening. We did probably 8 to 9 minute pace with the whole team for the first 25 minutes, and on the way back me, Heston, Nate, and some of the other varsity boys sped up. After one mile of going like 6:30 pace or so Heston and I pulled away and did a really quick last mile, 5:45. It was tough but I'm glad we did it, I haven't had a good workout for a while other than the hills I did a few days ago.

| | 5 miles in the morning with Nate, Heston, and guts. Felt good, Heston picked up the pace a lot at the end again, and I really don't think it's a good idea to do that on every run.
5 miles later in like 95 degree weather.
