am: easy 3 with yoga after. (Pegs 29)

pm: trail run tuesday.. chuckawalla great trail. legs got tried at some points but pushed through it. I really enjoy trail runs because your legs get tried pretty early in the run and like the feeling you get when you pushed pass the triedness, almost like a race. on the way back coach was a mad man going down the hill but it was fun going fast on the way back. (Triumph 11)

pm:  5 miles with striders.. Did a DI loop and then ran a course preview of the Mr. PVHS next week. And striders were good

Meet at the park with Abel, Preston, Cam, Andrew, and Dallin. Our tempo was 15 min LT goal pace 5:38. Started tempo slow then quickly move into pace but slowly. At first I was keeping an eye on Cam and then passed him. Tried to catch up to preston and Andrew but couldn't because time was up but wasn't too far behind them! Tempo was probably my best one, felt relax and comfortable 

Well goals for this week!

Monday: don't let my back problem  get in my head so I can finished the whole mile workout and hit my times.

Tuesday: PR in the mile. I know that my body can do great things, and get a 4:50 so excited to get that time!

Wednesday: I'm going to hit my goal time and by doing it smart. Don't go too fast the first lap be about 3-5 seconds slow the first lap and then push hard in the second lap!

Thursday: Do all the 200s around the same time. And to focus on the knee drive and leaning forward.

am: didn't run but during lunch we did the rootbeer mile and it was not fun. 

pm: trail run fun run

am: 1.5 mile warm/cool around the course to show abel where to go. During the race I tried to stay by matt because I knew he'll be able to push me and so probably 2 1/2 miles of the race I was 15 meters behind matt and then 800 left of the race matt started to gap me so I started pushing too. around 350 meters left I heard cam behind me and he passed me and I kept up with him but he was able to get me by 2 seconds. During the race I felt really comfortable, I didn't really give the race much thought just running. I got my goal time which was suppose to be 5:38 and was able to get 5:38 average so right on, I'm starting to like tempo runs their not as bad as I thought just got to clear your head and go

am: 4x1600 repeat day with 400 recovery. 1.5 mile warm/cool. I finally did it, finally did the whole workout and felt very comfortable and actually enjoyed the repeats. Goal time 5:48, first mile just tried to take it easy not go to fast and got 5:46, second mile tried to do the same thing but tried to push more on the third lap 5:44, third mile tried to do the same thing, I did on the first and second miles but notice the third lap is still my struggle and pushed more on the third lap 5:42, and the last and final mile for some reason people were going slow so I decided to just pushed on the last one nice and comfortable 5:36. very happy which the workout

pm: 16x 200 goal time :37, the first ten were around the time but some were :36's but it felt good. then the last 6 coach was telling us to go faster by driving our knees so I did and those were :34's but it felt good to go fast. great day.

First Half Marathon and I was excited. My mommy dropped me off by byron, dave, and preston, when did were doing there warm up so i got a 3/4 mile warm up. 

1-2 mile: the start was pretty good just kept it pretty chill behing andrew, dallin, and dave.

3-4 mile: making our way into hells hole, lead the pack of andrew, dallin, and dave inside hells hole, I was going pretty fast down the hills because i just let my legs and body take me down the hill. Then my feet were burning, it felt like it was on fire. so when we got out of hells hole i slowed down a lot to cool off my feet.

5-6 mile: since i slowed down dave, dallin, and andrew passed me along with other dudes. I slowly started to get my groove back going up the hill where mile 6 aid station was at, then I slowly went up the other hill aheading for mile 7.

7-8 mile: around mile 7 preston and cam caught up with me and we pushed pretty well down the hill going towards the double churches and mile 8. at some point a guy passed us so when he was leading for awhile I tried to stay behind hime until we passed mile 8.

8-10 mile: when we passed mile 8 I couldn't make my legs go any faster going up the hill, not like it's a hard hill but it felt so hard in a race. Preston passed me going up. I just tried to catch up. while we were heading back down the hill i tried to speed up to catch the next person which happen to be colton so i passed colton. heading to mile 9ish i could heard peeps. it was the dhills crew passing me going up majestic hill which is pretty beast because you're tried and it was long. I tired to go with them up but felt off, just trying to make my way up.finally when we reached the top there was a down hill going towards mile 10.

10-12 mile: passing mile 10 i passed dallen from dhills and making my way to preston. by mile 11.5 i passed preston and just wanted to be done. around this distance coach was waiting and told me to keep relax and catch the next guy. 

12- 13.1 mile: When i saw the aid station for mile 12 i was soo happy, because i was almost done and just need to go faster so i can finished. at the turn around point i pretty much walked around it. going back where coach was standing, i didn't notice but he told me keep my arms straight and not swing them each was very helpful i didn't know i was swinging my arms. when i changed i felt like i was going faster which is good and then the last 200ish matt was there and help me get started on my kick to the finish.

First Half Marathon was a success, it was a pretty fun race, now next time i know what to do different and get a faster time.

Goal pace 1:14. The first one was way slow 1:22 and the next 4 were 1:16-1:18 and 5-9 were 1:14-1:16 and then the last one we decide to push on the last 200m and I got 1:10. Great workout.
