Nice trail run on suicide tendency with the boys today! Felt really tight in my left thigh from boating Saturday but besides that it was a great run! really excited for this weekend and ready to finally run fast! Mentally preparing for a great race!

Positve: 

• Didnt fall like last time 

• Amazing look out from the top of the run! Blessed to live where I do!

good run today but the sun really hit me today. I kinda dazed out during the afternoon run so i don't remember anything that Carson was saying to me but i bet it was funny hah. Really ready to have a killer race this weekend

Positive: 

• Visualizing murry all the time.

• Lovin the pain.

Today was the day I prove to myself and my team that I deserve to race with the top guys. I was thinking about this race the whole week and getting really nervous for it because it would determine who went to bob. But as I talked to my step dad about the importance of the race he told me "just go out and do it" and thats what I did! 

I know that I can give a ton more durning the race and im going to prepare myself even more. Vizualizing the race really helps and thats what im gonna do every day for the next couple weeks. The pain will always be there but thats why we run, to feel that beatiful pain! Can't wait to hurt some more.

Positive: 

• Had a huge pr!

• Gained more much needed confidence!

• Loving life more and more every day.

Another great long run in the morning! I rolled my ancle awhile ago and its been hurting just a tad all the time but im just ignoring it and hoping it will get better! Loved the view of st george from dixie rock! probs one of the top 10 long runs!

Positive: 

• Ran pretty solid on the hills! 

• Mentally getting ready for bob!

Really feeling tired. ancle is kinda hurting again but pushing through it! 

Today was a brutal day. To start off I was a couple minutes late to morning practice because I slept in a couple minutes. I felt way eghausted the whole day and then going into the work out. We all struggled today in the workout and we cant be having these kinda days if we want to achomplish the goals we have set for our selves. We really need to get the top 7 guys and just talk and find out what is going on. We talked about going camping this friday which I think is really important for us. 

I really need to figure out everything for myself too. I've been questioning myself and having alot of doubt when it comes to my performaces and my place on the team. The next couple of days are gonna be a soul searching for myself. 

Postive: 

• Was very hyrdrated during the day and the workout!

• Got to see my brother kill another race and see him start to finally push himself and not run chill!

• Sold another car wash ticket ;)

Todays race was very needed because of the tough week ive been having. The start the race wasnt that fast which felt really good and I was able to pack hard with the other pv dudes. Towards the first down hill I was falling off logan but I wasn't letting anyone pass me because when people pass me I ussally die. I was able to catch logan coming into mile two and I gave him like a pat on the back and told him to stay with me but he wasn't able to but thats ok because there will always be next time. 

Everytime I've been passed by a teamate they don't help out at all and just pass so that is what I have started to do when I pass a teamate is to encourage them to stay with me and help me push when it gets even harder. Thatcher and I had a battle the whole last mile when I would pass him then he would pass me the next 100 meters and that really help me push harder. I really took to heart one thing coach says about dhells is when you see one of their guys you better catch him and pass him and I saw myself really starting to push. 

Really solid race today and I can't wait to see what more I can do because I'm hungry for a faster time! Watch out
