6:15am- Beast 30 minute run

7pm- Dixie Allcomers

It was a hard race at the region course. I was really just going for a varsity spot on this race. So yeah bummer my varsity spot was get 6th in the race and I got 7th on the team so suck. What ruined me was I didnt have the balls to position myself at the front and stay there but I got to far back where I was trying to make up ground. on the second lap I was trying to move up spots and pass Jason and Preston but it was harder than you think. I couldnt just move up two spots on the team easy peasy so by the end I barely cought Jason in a sprint off but didnt move on to passing more dudes. It was not a bad racce or anything just I needed to beat more guys than I did. Some hardcore 5 minute cruise intervals after. Rockk on

6:15am- 30 minutes it was dope, my knee hurt a little which was wierd

3pm- 60 minutes with 5x sand hills. man i was super tired and also my hamstring which I injured in the summer hurt like at the start but it went away. on the hills I was wiped out man so it was mental toughness. The first 3 I just made sure I didnt slow down or be slow. then the last two I went yolo and purposely started like 7 seconds after Dallen and tried to pass him up. Which I did. Hills are dope.

8:30am- Las Vegas Invite- Freshman/Sophmore Race

The meet overall was awesome. Pine View destroyed. We really threw down on all those Nevada teams. My race was good. I started out in front and then it was me and Dallen and Mitch all right there in front. Around the second lap Dallen had pulled away from me about 5 seconds. All I was thinking about was winning. With like 800 meters left I was really working and pushing trying to get up to him where I could out sprint him at the finish. I was gaining on him but it was really draining me. Right after the pond like 400 meters left I was just digging deep trying to cut the distance between us and probably gained another second on him. 200 meters left I was going all out trying to pass him it was hardcore I was just going harder and harder and I was closing in on him. At the finish I was so close to passing him i nearly dived across the finish line. After the race i just kept thinking if I could have done something to be .4 seconds faster. Really though it was a great race for me and it was super fun. Especially since PV took every boys race. It was beast and feast.

6:15am- 30 minutes out past arctic circle

3pm- 50 minutes with 8x800s. we had to hurry and get going so we didnt get stuck inside on lightning suspension or whatever. I was slow on my 800s like usual. I dont know if it is just that im slow on mondays or if im bad at 800s but I always seem to suck at them. Weights after. The rain started coming down so good thing we hurried to start practice.

6:15am- 30 minutes same as always. Practiced handoffs with a random pipe we found.

3pm- PV Time Trial #3

We warmed up like 10 minutes or so then got back, got my spikes on, and we raced. It was not very good. I was not mentaly prepared for the race and stuff. The start was really fast and I could tell I was going to die off but when I did, I didn't do a good job of pushing through and staying up in the group where I should have been. On some other races I feel like maybe I could have pushed myself more, but this race I know I could have pushed harder. I got the same time as last time trial so yeah not my best preformance. After we did our mile repeats coach came to tell us varsity spots for upcoming meets and all that jazz. I was thinking crap because that was no bueno race but when he tells us who is going to Herriman on friday first thing he says is "Alex is going..." and I was like yes. Im running JV still though but still im going on a varsity trip so yes.

5:30pm- We had lockdown because the cops were chasing down some bank robbers so we were late. Me, Macen and Brianna were all late together so we ran together and I didnt know how many minutes we had so me and macen ran around the neighborhood and went through sandberrgs but the girls was there so we just went up the hill instead of going around the pond. 4x200s after

12pm- 40 minutes at the state course with 4,3,2,1, cruise intervals.

5pm- Herriman Invite- JV race

The race was really beast. I was the only PV boy in the JV race so I warmed up all alone and stuff. It sucked that I was all alone though like at the start everybody has like 10 people on their team and im just all alone. My start was good and the first mile I just went and got in good postition but it was hard because it was up a mountain. After that first hill I was pushing hard to pass some guys on the downhill. It was really fast and I passed a couple guys from Bingham on the way down the mountain but then a kid from AF came up and passed me and I pushed with him up the mutha cussa. The last 3/4 mile was brutal. On the mutha cussa I was super drained from coming down the mountain so fast and I just made myself push all the way up it. The mutha cussa was so hardcore my legs were on fire. For the rest of that gradual hill to the finish i was just trying to hold on.  I was trying so hard to switch gears and get moving but really there was nothing left in my legs. The whole race the terrain is just hardcore and hilly so that just made the race super hard. The finish was definitly not my best but I kept my position for the most part I was 7-9 place through the whole race. On that gradual hill after the mutha cussa was where I could have used some teamates to help me push because I really fell a part in that section. It was good race but still I have room to improve.

1:30pm- me and macen did an adventure run up a mountain which was hardcore then we discovered some heavy machinery which we thought was like a secret base like area 51 or something. Then we ran through some wierd explosive dirt and saw some nube dirt bike dude and chased him down and it was Jakes brother Colton. Then we found a pond that was like nasty as crap which haad a castle in the middle like a prison or something. Then we ran up the road and Colton was just following us so we told him to do a backflip on a jump which he did. Then hard finished at like 6:15 pace and finished at macens grandmas house where we got hydration and coolant.

6:15am- Good morning run

3pm- I dont know my times for my workout but today was good. We did 50 minutes/ 6x800s and 2x400s. I finally broke the curse of sucking at 800s. The first 4 I was right there at the front or right behind them and on the 4th I really pushed to try and keep it tight you know so then the next 2 I fell off towards the back of the pack. Then they all had 1 more so I quick got a drink and the extra cool down time really helped on the 400s.

6:15am- 30 minutes easy then at like 8:29 we hit the road to california. Sat back middle the whole way.

4:30pm- went and ran the course and warmed up the legs after the long ride then we went to our hotel and chill untill our race wich was pretty late.

9:30- Woodbridge Classic- White Division Varsity Race

It was awesome. We got there and there was tons of people. It was by far the biggest meet I have ever been to. We went and warmed up and coach was telling us just run fast and have fun doing it because this is going to be a fast race. At the start I went out really fast but coach said that it would not drain me to go hardcore at the start and so I just stuck with it. It was good first mile and Dallen caught up with me and passed me a bit I dont know what I was doing I should have stayed right on top of him but he gapped me a little. On the long trail part down to the pond I tried to catch Dallen but I would get close and then fall off again and he stayed up in front of me. Going down around the pond I think both me and Dallen sped up and passed some guys. When we were going up passed the soccer fields some white shirt guy was like right with me trying to pass me and put the hammer down and sped up hardcore and kept going and at the turn were you turn to go to the finish (like 300 meters or so) I started kicking and I passed Dallen and I kept sprinting hardcore to the end. Paul was right in front of me and I was giving it everything and passed Paul at the very end. It was one of my best kicks and it got me 2nd on the team next to my brother which was awesome. That was an awesome race and we got #1 in our division which was awesome. The race was just so fast and fun it was amazing and I was super happy with my race. PRs all around for our team and just really great. After the race we went back to the hotel and got some sleep. I ended up being the fastest freshman for the first night and then the second night for the rated race and the sweepstakes race there were 5 freshman that beat me, 4 of them were in the 15:30s just within 10 seconds and then the other got 15:17. Best race ever :)

6:15am- 30 minutes easy

3pm- 30 minutes prerace with 4x200s. I challenged Macen to an all out 100 to prove the freshman sprinting champion so on our 3rd 200 we took it easy for 100 and the second 100 was a fight to the finish. I beat the fool by at least 3 feet but he claims it was a tie. Ill give it to him on a unofficial basis but he knows I won. The official 100 sprintoff has been schedualed for sometime during track season with official times a starter and possibly cameras and what not.

6:30pm- Nebo Invite- Varsity race

Not good. We warmed up like 2 miles or so but they were behind schedual so we had to chill for a bit. Not a good start and not a good kick at the end. Started out in front you know like after the first 150m then i dont know what happened. Got cut off like 5000 times people were tripping and man it was pretty intense. My first mile was not good. People kept going right passed me and I did nothing to go with them. After that first mile I found myself last on the team so I got my head back in the game and asked myself what the heck I was doing. Went and made some moves to get back in the race, I passed Cameron and then Andrew was right in front of me so I went and passed him to. I dont like the finish there at all but ether way my kick didnt happen. There was a pretty big group in front of me and if I had really gone for it I could have moved up like 10 spots. My kick was there but it didnt happen. I should have left more on the course than I did.

8am- Beast workout @ the state course. Me and Dallen had 5x800s + 3x400s. It was really good I think and I was invisioning how I want to run at state the whole time. After the workout it started pouring rain hardcore and me and Dallen hid in the bathrooms while the lvl 3s finished up. Then after we ran over to cottonwood park where the JV guys were racing at. Really fun run and we got soaked.

3pm- 35 minutes/ 2x1600s. felt like crap during school so i dont know why i went to practice I just when yolo. Nearly killed myself after the warmup I definitly wasnt going to do the workout. I felt bad that I wasnt doing it so I asked Nick if I should do it and he told me to man up and do it. Felt to sucky to do the first 1600 with the team so I just watched then I jumped in on the second one and ran a 505. My cool down was standing over the garbage can trying not to puke. I told myself I had to finish the workout so I went and did my second one with coach right in front of me pushing me hardcore. Got 535 on that one. After I went home with my mom and layed down on the couch and suffered. Coudlnt eat anything so didnt get very much recovery nutrients
