Today we did a 9.5 mile adventure run. I am also super excited because I just got a hydration pack for my long runs!

Nice 5.5 mile run by the Thatchers. I have noticed as I run on trails (particular hills) that I need to work on my leg strength.

Today we ran a total of seven miles. Around 3.5 miles of those were barefoot on the grass. At first it felt good on my feet but later in the run my feet were feeling pretty uncomfortable. Looking forward to a great season.

Today we ran 8 miles with 8 30 second repeats. The workout went better than I thought it was going to. As much as I strongly dislike hill repeats I know they will make me stronger and I am excited to get stronger by doing more of them.

Today I ran 6 miles in the morning. I also ran 3 miles in the afternoon to spread the miles and also start acclimating to the heat.

12 mile run today. I ran 6 in the morning and 6 in the afternoon. It is warming up.

Nice 9.5 miles today.

Today I ran the Bloomington stake 5k. It felt pretty good. I came in third place. The time was negligent because because the distance was off. I ran home to cool down with my brother. It has been a great day!

7 miles today. I missed practice today because I went boating at Lake Powell with the family. The team was supposed to get 9 miles today so I ran 2 extra yesterday.

Today I ran 9.6 miles. It was really hot outside!!

Today we ran 12.5 miles at navajo lake. It was a good trail!

Today we did a warmup and then did a 3 mile tempo run. It is fun to see how much I have progressed from last year. In the afternoon we ran 3 easy miles.

Today I ran 9.5 miles. I ran 6.5 this morning over in little valley and in the afternoon ran 3 more with the team. It was nice outside!

Today I ran a nice easy 4 miles because I am running the Bryce canyon half marathon tomorrow. It should be fun!

Today I ran the Bryce Canyon 1/2 marathon. I was really tired this morning and didn't want to wake up, but it was worth it. The downhill felt really good at the beginning, but about 7 miles into it my legs were starting to feel it. I was able to finish the race in 129:04. I was 37th overall and 3rd in my age group. It was a great day. 

Today I ran a total of 9 miles. While the rest of the team did the V02 max I jogged around the turf. I ran a total of 6.15 miles including the warm up and cool down. It was really hard not running the V02 max because I want to keep up with the other guys, but it was probably for the best because my legs were really sore form the half marathon. As a team we ran 3 more miles in the afternoon.

Today we ran 8 miles at Pine Valley. It was a tough run for me. My legs are still pretty tired from the half marathon I ran on Saturday. I was able to finish the run and was really glad for the chocolate milk at the end. We also ran 3 miles in the afternoon.

Today we did a 4 mile tempo run. As a team we warmed up together before starting. I was off pace on the tempo run and I felt pretty flat. I think I am still recovering from the 1/2 marathon I ran last saturday. We cooled down back to the Thatchers house. In the afternoon we ran 3 more miles.

Today I ran a total of 11.5 miles. We ran 8 miles around fish lake with 6x100 meter strides at the finish. It felt like a pretty good tempo and when we finished I was pretty tired. In the afternoon we ran 3 miles.

Today I ran 8 miles. In the morning we did a 2 mile warm up and then the team had a relay race. I had 4x800 meter legs. It was a fun way to do a speed workout. After we did a 15 minute cool down. That afternoon we ran 3 more miles.

Today I did a ten mile run at running camp. It was good for me because it was pretty steep and I need to build up my leg muscles. On the way back it felt pretty nice though (because it was downhill), especially when we went through the river.

Today I ran 9 miles. In the morning practice we did a mile warm up and then a 20 minute fartlek run, with one minute hard then one easy. We did 6 miles in the morning (including warm up) and three in the afternoon.

Today I ran a total of 6 miles. We did a nice easy 3 in the morning and an easy 3 in the afternoon with 8 100 meter strides. Tomorrow is the snow canyon race. Can't Wait!

Today I ran 3 miles easy in the morning. In the afternoon we had the Snow Canyon race. I did alright at the race and finished in a 16:47. I was alright with the time, but I know I can do better place wise. I am excited for region!
