Real Men Wear Short Shorts!!

Today it was the usual, go to the locker room, get dressed. laugh and yell at each other and joke around. Tyler was telling me about how crazy the workout was going to be. I was totally dreading doing it, cause i was still a little sore from Friday, but that ten mile recovery run with Susannah really helped the soreness. We went up to the track and did two laps warm up and agilities, and distance was doing agilities separate cause all the sprinters and throwers thought they only had to run one lap warm up so they were ahead of us. We eventually got to the work out and i was to do 2x (1200, 3x 400, 200) my splits were: 3:48, 69, 69, 68, 34, 3:44, 67, 67, 65, 34. it was actually pretty hard and i could really feel the burn in my legs! I felt really good that i was speeding up and working harder, i love to push myself! I then did a mile and a half cool down and then stretched in the locker room, it was way nice that i finished before everyone else, cause it started to pour rain, and Karlee had a cramp in her leg so I was able to run over and help calm her down while Paxton stretched her leg. I'm way excited for the Viewmont meet wednesday and the Davis Invite Saturday cause i'm going to PR everything and i get to spend more time with Susannah!! 

Paxton finally got some sense on easy days for us!!! you see on easy days we distance runners still have to go up and warm up with the team and waste time while it's an easy run so we don't have to warm up and stretch before. but she just told us that we were to run 5 miles or 40 minutes basically so we ran 40 minutes down to highway 89. the one run that seems to get shorter and shorter each time we run it! I was very sore from yesterday! everything is a wee bit unhappy, but i'm gonna roll out tonight so i'm ready to PR tomorrow at the Viewmont meet!! =D but afterwards we did a ton of abs and planks and pushups and just not to fun stuff! everything is screaming at me but it all felt way good!! i'm ready to kick butt tomorrow! :D I can't wait for the Davis Invite once again this week!! i'm running the mile and the two mile! then i get to cheer Susannah on! 

Today was a Tri meet with Viewmont and Clearfield!! way fun!!! So it all started out back at Weber. I got out of class a little early but it really didn't matter much cause i wasn't gonna be there long anyways. And i went down to the locker room and got changed. Then headed out to the bus, When Susannah called!! i laid down to get comfortable and talk to her, when Paxton yelled at us all to get on the bus. Which sucked cause it was loud on the bus and we didn't get to talk to long. But still wishing her good luck and hearing her voice and laugh really helped motivate me =D So we got to Viewmont eventually and we all had to go to the bathroom so we went and we had fun with the air dryer!! we were blowing up our jackets and looked fat! it was way funny! so i was sitting around doing nothing and started Texting Abigail cause she was updating me on Susannahs race. Cause i was super excited for it!! Congrats a new State Record Holder!!!! your amazing and just adding to your fame!! =D The 1600 finally came around and Tyler ran a 4:43 i think and won it (that would have been nice cause i could have won it and most likely PR'd!!) but it was fun yelling at him to pass the two kids infront of him! So my race finally came around, and i had warmed up well, and didn't stretch much but that really helped i think, cause i think i can get too lose and it really affects me. My first mile felt great i was a little tired but i crossed at 5:02!! i slowed down to about 76 to 79 :( which wasn't very good, but i started to pick it up the last two laps and was fighting soooooo hard that last lap. i just kept telling myself to not give up and to keep pushing and run for Susannah and it was way hard but i did it!!!! i ran a unofficial 10:11 which is a new PR!!!!! i can't wait for the 1600 at Davis!! 4:30 here i come!!! =D 

Well today was the usual, get dressed, and head up to the track. we did two laps warm up and then did agilities and stretched. Paxton told us 45 minutes moderate, with 5 one minute pick ups. I ran with Nate again and we were talking about some of the runners on our team and how they could be a lot better and how some aren't mentally strong. it's fun running with him cause i help him a lot and he usually has a good story to tell! we were running up on Canal Road and there were some fires going from burning somethings and so that kinda sucked cause we had to hold our breath while we ran through the smoke! but we got a ways out!! after we got back to the school we did abs with Paxton. so we found out that she works out like 5 hours a day and stuff. she's intense!!! ha ha ha it was funny earlier cause Thelan Purin, was running away from her and i ran up while she was walking towards him, and closed the gates that were there, and i was yelling at him to run and save himself!!! and Paxton pushed me aside and opened the gates at the same time, and Tyler said, and the gate of Hell open.... its was sooooooo funny! but her abs hurt and she makes us do a ton of arms too! i found i kinda like doing them by myself cause i get a better work out! then i stretched and went home!! 

We had the Davis Invite today!!! absolutely amazing!! Unfortonatly i missed out of the Invite by a hair :/ oh well. So i woke up around 7 and took a shower and got ready and left. We met up with the bus and were soon on our way. Only tired out of our minds!! after trying to sleep on the bus we eventually showed up at Davis and began to settle in. The Bletchers we set our stuff on had water on them and snow which was frozen!! Its was way cold and we could see our breath so Tyler, Jace and I decided to go into the school, find a bathroom and keep warm in there. Mostly cause the meet hadn't started yet and we weren't to race for a while. We Found some patches of sun that was beaming through a window (Something us Warriors don't know about :P) so we literally laid in it and soaked up the Window and Warmth of it! Ha ha even Talley commented on how we found the little patch of sunlight so lay in!! at this moment my Ipod stopped working >:( totally ruined my plans for later! but i told them that after about an hour of laying around and screwing off, i was gonna go to the bathroom and then go warm up for the mile. It hadn't warmed up very much, so i started a 10 minute warm up and ran into the most amazing girl i the world, Susannah Hurst!! I said hello and gave her a hug and told her that i was gonna go on my warm up and that i'll see her in a second. so off i went. my legs were a little sore, my shins have been bugging lately and stuff so i knew i needed a good one. I finished and went and got my spikes and was stretching when Susannah came over and we began to talk. And she said that she was gonna cheer here by my parents. I went to the Start line and did some agilities. We lined up for the mile and they were doing a triple water fall. so i knew i needed to get a good start. That didn't happen. the whole time i was staring up at Daniel and Jamon trying to figure out how in the world i was gonna get up there. I got boxed in sooooo bad i could not get around and pick things up. just wasn't gonna happen. i finish behind Jamon and had a time of 4:44. ( terrible time for that day, i was going for a 4:30). but that didn't get me down, i still had the 3200 left to do! I Cooled down inside with Susannah and Abigail and we ran around and saw their team scattered everywhere. she showed me where they were situated in the gym. and we hung out there a little bit. It was snowing really bad out side!!! the meet was postponed for 10 minutes which also really messed up the schedule and i had no idea when to warm up for the 3200. It was wonderful being able to hang out with Susannah the whole time. I soon had to warm up for the 2 mile and  began doing that, but first i had to talk to Paxton and figure out when i should cause by then the meet was an hour and a half behind schedule (no surprise really). I did a 10 minute warm up again, and then took a quick bathroom break, while waiting for a stall i decided to get my brief stretching in. I got outside and noticed that there was 2 laps left for the girls 3200. Great i still had to do some agilities and put on my spikes. Paxton yelled at me for not being over there. oh and i didn't have my sticker yet!! But everything worked fine, i got my spikes on just in time to get a few brief agilities in. I lined up and i was 5th seated in the race. We got ready and the gun shot. I wasn't messing around with the placement this time in the start. i got out there and saw the waterfall to my right so i pulled into lane 1 and let them come in. i knew i'd work my way up. a kid went out way fast and i pulled him in by lap 3 and was then leading the race. first mile was 5:02. everytime a kid would come up to me on my wing i'd speed up. I wasn't gonna let anyone take the lead. this was my race. and that got to their heads all through the race. cause i kicked it and won by 10 meters. my final time was 10:06!! i didn't slow down that much!! it felt amazing and i fought  for it!! 

It was now the Invited section of the Davis meet!! I sat around with Susannah the whole time and we played the Dot game and talked cause she had to stay off her feet (oh i also forgot i gave her an awesome list!!!) I warmed up and Cooled down with her which was amazing!! it was soooooo much fun being able to hang out with her at a track meet again!! I cheered her on in her 800 leg of the medley and John and Abigail and everyone else had me in lock down so i couldn't go down and see her right before her race! Their team took first in the race!! Soon came Susannah's 3200 race!! we cheered her on for that and she was fighting this girl and totally showing her whos race this was, until she nearly tripped her!! and started to shove her! >:( totally not a true racer! Susannah was really up set about the race and she ended up taking 3rd cause this girl was such a jerk. She didn't want to go get her award so we warmed up to our tree and chilled there for a little bit. We spent the rest of the meet cheering and having a great time!! it was soooo much fun and i can't wait for BYU!!!!
