Freshman

This year was just a begining for me. First time being in the real workouts, first time racing in the real races, no more of the short middle school boys and girls races. I really started here, I was able to run with the first people to really make this team become nationally noticed. That was awesome for me to see and it really inspired me to be that much more of a better runner. Also during this year I broke the Freshman Records at my school in the 800m, 1600m, and the 3200m.

Sophmore

This year I was really apart of the Varsity team. For cross country I was mainly 6th guy, but sometimes 5th. I really was able to learn a lot from all of the seniors and really connect with them. We took Region and State and I metaled in some of the races which was kind of a new thing for me. Then, in track I was one of the top 4 distance guys on the team and was scoring points every race. I really improved on my times, but not enough to get any class or school records. But, I did individually win a race and that was awesome. I qualified for the 3200m and 1600m at state and took 3rd and 5th. And it was really a good improvement from last year.

Today my family came with me on the run. I wanted this how them the trail so we went petty much the same way. When we got to the beach we stayed longer than yesterday to find seashells and jump rocks, but I wasn't paying attention to the waves and my shoes got soaking wet. So the run back was difficult because I'm not supper fond of wet socks. But eventually they got somewhat dry and I could stand it.

First day of Cross Country! I'm super excited to be back and I am ready to get rocking and rolling. Started today out with a .5 mile warmup and then ran a 5 mile easy run. It was good to see new faces and some old ones. Today Sage showed up and ran with us and it was good because it was sad that he isn't going to run with us anymore. But, it was cool to learn that Hayden Hawks is going to be an assistant coach this year and help the guys team out so that will be cool. I'm just really excited for this season, I know if we can focus on our goals and work hard we can achieve our goals even with the loss of a bunch of our seniors.

In the Morning, I started by running a half mile warmup. Then, I ran with some of the new kids getting to know some of them and encouraging them to do their best. I ran 3 miles with those guys just to shake out the legs for the run with Coach Thatcher later today.

In the Afternoon, I ran Forsyth Canyon mostly with Hayden Hawks, but Coach Thatcher, Kylee, and Lily were just behind us. I learned a lot on that Up Hill run and some of it was from Hayden himself and the life stories and lessons he taught me, but a lot of it was from the things I did wrong on my way up the hill. Things such as the hill isn't conquered in the first mile, and the Nutrition and Hydration Sensation that is Sweeping the Nation is Sweeping the Nation for a reason. I learned a lot and by the time SpeedGoat comes I'll be ready to go. On the way down the hill I ran with Kylee and Lily and we left Coach and Hayden in the dust. Hayden caught us with a couple miles left and it was just an awesome run all around. I had a major cramp on the way up and that hurt a lot until I could stop and fix it. On the way down it wasn't too bad.

This morning I felt a little tired because of the run last night and I showed up to practice a little late, but as I was going out I passed some of the people coming back from their runs and then later caught up to the Boys and ran it with them. My foot hurt just a little bit and my legs are a little tight, but nothing a little stretching and some ice can't help.

14 miles up Forsyth Canyon again. This time we had more people. There was Ethan, Adia, Kasey, Chloè, Kylee, Coach Thatcher, and myself. I ran in the Ultraspire Alpha pack and it was really good. I felt really good through the whole run and made it up to the top just slower than I did on Tuesday. On the way down I was feeling really good and was going down at a pretty fast pace and stepped on a rock that wasn't secure so I slipped and hit the ground. We were all going fast so Kylee who was in front of me kept running and Chloè who was behind me almost ran over me. But after a couple minutes and a couple band-aids my leg was all good and I could actually lip-run again. But we, for the most part, made it safely down the mountain side and finished up with some stretching. Had some ultragen and when we got back into town we got some lunch. I guess you could say it was a successful run.

4 miles this morning with the freshman. Hope I inspired them to do better.

In the afternoon, I ran with Hayden on the Lee Pass in the Kolob Canyon. It was super awesome we ran all the way out to the arch. Today was the biggest total running day I've ever done, I think.

.5 mile warmup, calisthenics, then 3.5 mile warmup, then a 15 minute tempo (almost 2.5 miles), and cooldown for mileage. Felt pretty good for the whole time, a little tired from yesterday. Had a little cramp in my abdomen and a little in my side. But other than that it was good.

11 miles on the Canal Trail. It was a super awesome trail with cool tunnels! Ran with lily, Kasey, and Kylee. We ran for about 7 miles and then I heard a noise. At first, because I was so tired, I thought it was a Sprinkler. But, then I realized we were in the desert and there aren't any sprinklers out there. So I looked down and 2 feet away from me was a rattle snake! And I saw it and kinda pushed Kasey out of my way and ran far enough away to feel safe. After that I was super paranoid. But, I survived the run and it was all good.

8 miles in the morning, warmup to Webb Hill, 8x1:00 hill repeats, and then a cooldown back to the school. I felt pretty good this morning. And I progressively got better on each one, but by the last one I felt really tired from all of it. And the cooldown was super hard because I had a cramp in my side.

3 miles in the afternoon.

8 miles this morning through the Super Bowl and down Rainbow Road. Had kids camp afterwards.

5 miles on the Dirty Hurty Trail with Kasey. Kylee and Zarha ran with us for the first little bit. It was a nice run, relatively cool for St. George running, right as we finished it started to rain a little bit so that was pretty cool of Mother Nature.

6 miles this morning by myself in North Ogden. Felt really good, didn't go super fast but I went a little faster than normal. Passed one of those speed limit signs where they track your speed and I got it up to 17 mph I checked behind and there was no car so as I slowed down a little bit a guy in a car passed me and celebrated for me.

Shout out to Hayden Hawks, Good Luck at the US Mountain Running Championships.
