Was going to go to the gym, but when I started jogging there I decided to run instead. I didn't have my watch since I didn't plan on going running. So I just ran wherever I felt like and measured it tonight in our car with my mom. Ran for 1:45 and was hoping to get 15 miles because I thought that was 8 minute pace but my math was wrong and it ended up being 7:33 pace so I'm definitely happy with it.

Jogged about 3.5 today, then another 1.5 after basketball practice to make 5.

Pretty easy pace today except mile 3 in 5:59.

Didn't sign up for the race which would explain why I don't know what place I came in, but it wasn't towards the front. Really didn't know what to expect coming into this race and wasn't too worried about time or anything either. Ran pretty much between 6:00 and 6:30 except mile 13 was in 6:37 and the mile I stopped for a bathroom break was in 7:20 and 1 mile in 5:57. It was fun to see a lot of people I knew at the race and talk to some people I hadn't talked to for awhile. Legs tightened up pretty good in the last 2 miles and was kind've upset the course was long, but considering the kind of shape I'm in I'll definitely take it. Great job to everyone who ran.

ran for 40 min. on treadmill.

ran on treadmill.

Went ice fishiing for the first time this morning. It actually wasn't as cold as I thought it was going to be so that was good. Ran 10 miles in 1:05.12, then jogged to 10.5 miles in 1:09. I was at the gym so i stopped to go to the bathroom after 10.5, then got back on the treadmill for another 20 minutes and 2.9 miles. Really happy with the first 10 especially last mile in 5:12, total time was 1:29 not including the bathroom break.

Ran first 6 in 39:10. Just over 6:30 avg. so pretty good. Jogged 2 after a bathroom break. I don't know why but I really like treadmills.

Just jogged in easy 3 today in 22:10. A little over 7:23 avg.

No running today. We played Cedar in basketball and our sophomore team lost on a buzzer beater. Hopefully I can get just a few miles in on the treadmill on Thursday because we play Hurricane on Friday.

Basketball game Friday, so just a real easy, real slow 3 on the treadmill.

Ran 2.7 on mill and didn't feel very good, so I did 7.05 on the stairclimber which is probably harder per mile than running, so good workout.

Did 4.85 very hard on stairclimber, then 3.3 on mill. Did 3 really hard (running) in 16:56, with a last mile in 4:56, so very happy with that. Then jogged out the next 3 minutes on the mill.

Jogged 1 mile on the mill, then did the stairclimber about 2.25 miles in 15 minutes, then did 3 miles pretty hard on the mill in 19:35, and just ran out the next 25 seconds.

Ran 3 in P.E., 3 right after school because I didn't think I was going to end up getting a run in because I had to go to the orthodontist, about half an hour later, it was funny because my mom was driving me home from the orthodontist and we saw the team running so she dropped me off and I ran 3-4 miles with the team. After that I ran 1 mile on the indoor track with Coach Harris. I also ran all 10 in my Jordan's shoes because I wasn't planning on running any of the times.

Ran 6.75 with the team at 6:02 pace. Ran some short strides one at the track and the rest at my house, then jogged another 3.25 to get to ten.

Ran 5 in P.E. the last 3 were pretty fast but I didn't have my watch. Ran 1.5 mile warmup before practice, then ran 5.5 in practice. After that I ran 4 more.

Ran 7 this morning because I can't make it to Track practice today because I have to take my Driving Test. Started off really slow with the first miles being:8:02, 7:03, and 7:15, but then was under 6:40 for the next 4 so I'm happy with it. 6:53 avg. Hopefully get in 3 or 4 easy between school and my Driving Test.

Ended up getting 8 more throughout the day. Ran 5 at 6:42 pace after school, with a mile cooldown, then ran 2 more later.

Ran 3 in P.E., then 2 before practice, then about 5 in practice and finished off with some strider's and some jogging.

Ran 5 in practice on the indoor track, then total of 4 on the treadmill throughout the day. I also won the 1 lap race we had with some of the distance guys on the indoor track, which was fun, especially considering all the crap Greg was talking before we raced.

Ran 3 in P.E., then at practice I ran about 2, but then my stomach was hurting so i walked and jogged back to my house.

Did a 2 mile warmup then we ran our mile time trial at practice. I ran a 4:56, which at this point in the year is o.k. I probably could have run harder on the 3rd lap especially considering I think my endurance is a lot better comparatively than my speed right now, but I'll take it. 2 mile cooldown.

Did a .72 mile warmup to the indoor track at CVHS, and really had no plan in mind as to waht I was going to run, but I felt really good so I did 6 miles hard in 36:44, so 6:07 avg., 2.78 mile cooldown.

3 in P.E., then 1.25 mile warmup with greg. 6 miles at 6:46 pace, last mile in 5:39. 1.75 miles of cooldown.

Got to practice and just started running on the indoor track with Greg, I ran for an hour at at least 7 minute pace or maybe a little faster. So about 8.5 miles. 2 mile cooldown. I am also going to play in a church basketball game tonight so that will be fun.

Ran 3 in P.E., then 7 at 6:47 pace at practice, mile cooldown and 7 striders. Feel pretty tired so hopefully I'll take it pretty easy tomorrow to get ready for the meet this weekend.

Didn't feel very good today.

2 mile warm up prior to a 2 mile race. Ran 10:16 which is pretty good for me. Could have been better but I'm happy with it.

Warmed up 2 miles before the mile. I ran the mile in 4:46, which is a pr for me and I also ran close to even splits and felt very good so I am definitely happy with this race. Ran 10 miles after the race because I felt very good. Later I was bored and wanted to exercise so I jogged .52 to the track, then ran 3 miles at 5:46 pace. Then I ran a 1.19 mile cooldown.

.3 mile jog to the track. We ran 7.2 miles for the Sports Authority route at practice, then did 7 striders and a 2.5 mile jog when I was done. Tomorrow we are doing are first workout on the track so hopefully I can run well in that.

Bunch of short runs/ warmups and cooldowns. Ran 1 x 1600, and 3 x 800. Ran the 1600 in 5:08, the first 800 in 2:29, the second 800 in 2:27, and 2:17. The 2:17 is also 2 seconds slower than my 800 p.r. so pretty good for the first speed workout of the year.

Easy day today because we have a track meet at Cedar today.

We ran at Cedar today. I warmed up 2.5 miles then ran the mile in 4:53. Decent time but didn't run as smartly as I should have. My second and third laps were way to slow so I need to work on that. Then I ran 3 miles with Greg and ran the 800 in 2:14 was hoping for a 2:10 but o well. Ran the 2 mile in 10:48, not a very good time, but didn't really want to run it, so just a workout. 1 mile cooldown.

1.5 mile warmup, 8 miles with Greg, then .5 mile cooldown.

Ran up the Canyon with Greg, we did 5.64 up to the bridge at 7:11 pace, then a 4 mile tempo down the Canyon and through town at 5:43 pace, then jogged back to my house to get to 10, good hard run.

Ran 4 in P.E., don't know what pace. Ran .5 over to then high school then 9 on the indoor track with Greg then 1.5 cooldown.

Did a track workout today, 1.5 warmup, the 1 x 1600, 1x1200, 1x800, and 3 x400. The mile was pretty easy, 5:20, then still pretty easy for the 12: 3:53. Ran 2:15 in the 8 so pretty hard, then 68, 63, and 66 for the 4's, jogging in between. 4 mile cooldown plus 10 min. on the stairclimber.

Ran 5 in P.E. at 6:27 pace, then 10 for practice at 7:10 pace. Excited for an easy day tomorrow.

Jogged .5 over to the high school, then 6 easy on the indoor track at 7:44 pace, then 8 striders, a little more jogging on the indoor track and then .5 back to my house.

Warmed up a mile then ran a PR by 13 seconds in the 1600, cooled down 2 miles.

Warmed up 1 mile then ran a 19 second PR in the 3200, ended up running 10 after the race also, partly because I got lost.

Ran 2.5 to the track, at the track, and over to the high school. Then me Greg, and another guy from the team did about 9. The first 4 were between 7 and 7:30 pace, and the next 5 were at about 6:00 pace, feeling pretty beat up right now, but hopefully I will be rested for our track workout tomorrow.

Warmed up .8. We did a track workout today of 4 X 800, and 4 X 400. The 8's were supposed to start out a little slower than 2 mile pace and gradually get faster, and the 4's were supposed to be a faster than mile pace. The first 8 was 2:35, so too slow, but after that they were okay, 2:28, 2:26, and 2:22. The 4's were on pace and pretty hard. The first was 61, and the next threee were between 60-61, cooled down 2.7, I estimated that we jogged 1.5 total in between intervals, probably not quite that much but close.

6 miles easy at around 7:15 pace, 6 striders, then 1 mile cooldown.

Actually ran the mile also but just put the 2 under the race report. I warmed up a mile for the mile, then ran 4:41. After the mile I ran 2 miles, then rest, and warmed up 1 mile for the 2 mile. I nearly tied my P.R. in the 2 mile so definitely happy with the time. Did 3 miles slow after the 2 mile.

Didn't feel very good today. Somehow got in 10 but in several different runs. Also did 3 miles in around 18:15 on the stairclimber.

Jogged .8 over to the high school, then did about 11.25 on the indoor track with Greg. Then I did a mile on my way home.

Ran 2.5 miles before practice at 6:13 pace. Too fast but didn't know we were doing speed work today. .5 more warmup with the team. We split into different groups and were going to do 12 X 400 at a little faster than goal mile pace so aiming for 65's. The first 3 were 66, the next 2 were 64, the next 1 was 63, and the last 4 were 62. Ran 4.86 after to get to 12 for the day. The rest of the distance is jogs in between repeats.

3 before practice at 5:54 pace, 7.04 with the team, and 1.96 by myself to get to 10 for the day.

Ran 1.96 before practice, then just kept running once we got started and didn't reset my watch. We are on spring/easter break Wed. through Friday, so ran in the morning. The rest of the team ran on the indoor track but for some reason I wanted to run outside today. Didn't know how far I was going to go so just started running. Ended up running 16 at 7:00 pace including the running before practice. Last mile in 5:25, the pace was around 7:10 for most of the run but ran the last 3 in around 18:30. Later did 20 minutes fast on the stairclimber, passed 3 miles in 17:35. For some reason I can go almost as fast on that as running.

Not much running today, I'm planning on going easy today and tomorrow and long saturday. .5 mile warmup, then 4 X 1200. The goal was 4:00, not that fast but we went hard Monday so today's workout wasn't intended to be that hard. Times were 3:58, 3:58, 3:54, and 3:43. Good workout, and still didn't feel like I was going all out even on the last one. Legs felt pretty sore from yesterday though. 2 miles cooldown.

10 mile bike ride.

Easy 6 today at 7:15 pace. 7 striders after.

jogged .7 up to the golf course, then did a 2.25 mile loop 4 times, there was 3 hills in the loop, 1 of which was just under .5 miles long and very steep, another hill that was pretty hard, and one that wasn't too hard. My avg. paces for the loops were, 7:00, 6:39, 6:34, and probably about 6:25 for the last one. My watch turned off about half way into the 4th one, which was very irritating. Overall a great workout in cold weather, about .55 jog back to my house.

Not much to say today. 8 striders after.

Started raining hard just before practice. Our indoor track is 11 laps, and today we just did 6 X 4 laps at goal mile pace. We didn't time them, probably weren't quite fast enough but that's alright. .5 before we started, some jogging in between and 4 after.

Jogged .75 over to the high school, then did 2 miles fairly fast with Greg, then another mile slow. Ended up running 6.25 pretty fast outside after that, then 2 miles cooldown. Towards the end of the 6.25 it started to get pretty cold, then on my cooldown it started hailing and when I was running into the wind it really hurt my face. Supposed to warm up next week, so hopefully it does.

Easy 6.

1 mile easy in P.E., 1 mile warmup, then the mile. I tied my P.R. so pretty good race. 3 mile cooldown.

Warmed up 1 mile, then the 2 mile. I PR'ed so definitely happy with the race. 10 miles after.

Found out after school today that I was going to ump a baseball game so had to get the workout in early. Did a 2 mile warmup, then 1 X 800 and 8 X 200. Did the 8 too fast and was pretty dead for the 2's, but o well. 1.5 mile cooldown, then 1 more from the game I umped to my sister's game.

Ran 6.2 on the treadmill in the hotel in Chicago in 35:01 so around 5:40 pace.

8 easy at 7:30 pace.

6 at 6:31 pace, then 1 mile cooldown.

11 at 7:01 pace, then 1 mile cooldown. We are going to do an 11 mile run next week at camp so, just wanted to make sure I could do it, even though next weeks run will be at a much higher elevation.

The plan today was 5 easy since I was pretty sore from yesterday. I did the first 5 on the treadmill really easy, so far so good. But then I decided to run over to my grandparents house to help move their stuff to the dumpster we rented, anyways it ended up being 3.42 and I ran it at 6:10 pace.

8 strides after, ran a little too fast today, oh well.

Jogged 1.5 over to Bicentennial Park today to do 5 1200 repeats on the grass. The first one was a little too controlled at 5:40 pace, then the next 4 were at 5:23, 5:26, 5:22, and 5:18 pace, so good workout, 1.5 back to the school.

Pre- region at Snow Canyon today.

easy today at 7:30 to 7:40 pace.

10.02 on the stairclimber at the gym, first and last miles were probably both 6:30 or slower so 2-9 were probably in the 5:50-5:55 range, I don't know why but I really like the stairclimber.
