Am: 6 miles along Foothill. I think I laced my shoe different or something because by the time I finished the top was really hurting. 

Pm: Went out to the oval for out workout. Legs felt tired and the top of my foot still ached. Workout was 2000, 1600, 1200. Went 5:41, 4:36, and 3:20. Times were slower then I wanted but I was still happy. Bill threw in 2x400 at the end just to get my legs moving. Went 57 and 57. Felt really good! But the top of my foot still ached. Cooled down to 12.

Am: 3 miles to the Zoo and back.

Pm: Jogged to Sugarhouse and did 2 laps on the road. Everytime we hit a lampole we strided out until the next one so it was a fartlek workout. Foot felt okay expect on downhills. Downhills it would really hurt becasue my shoe was pushing right into the sore spot. Jogged up to 19th and took that way back. Added to 10.

Winter Series 10k today! 3 miles warmup. Ran with Reilly the whole time! We switched leads on the way out and then on the way back it got pretty intense. The last two miles were for sure under 5:00. I made a move with about 800 to go and won by 9 seconds. Ran 31:24 so I was happy. Cooled down for 4 miles.

10 miles on the Rail Trail up in Park City!

Workout at the Oval today! Warmed up 2 miles outside because it was a really nice day. Then did 1 mile of speed changes, changed shoes, and jogged 2 laps. Workout was 1000, 600, 600, 1000, and finally 4x400. There was 2 laps jogging recovery between the 1000s and 600s and 1 lap jogging recovery between the 400s. I was really happy because I stayed consistent. Times were 2:50, 1:31, 1:31, 2:50, 58, 59, 58, and 55. I was having a few issues with my left calf. It would tighten up during recovery so the first 200 meters of the longer repeats was usually a bit slower. With the 400s I tried to just kick start pretty fast and then shift into another gear once I past the 200m line. Cooled down to ten! Took an Ice Bath when I got home.

The Race went really well but we were hoping to break 9:00. I was close. Laps 9-13 were all 35s. Those need to come down if I want to break it on Saturday. 

6 miles cooldown. Then Bill massaged my legs. Feeling pretty good.

Drove up to Simplot for finals. Warmed up 3 miles with strides and drills.

Took the race out fast. First 400 was 63 and first 800 was 2:09. I had a decent lead but Clinger was slowing working his way to me. Went through the mile in 4:27-4:28. This is when I started to slow down a bit. Clinger moved up to me and with 3 laps to go he was right behind me. Picked it up a bit with 2 laps to go. I was nervous and just trying to maintain the lead. Then when I heard the final lap bell ring I went. Turned the legs on as far as they would go determined to have nothing left. Casey stayed pretty close until the far curve were I just opened up. Final time was 8:57 for me and Casey was 8:59. I think we are the first 2 boys to break nine on Idaho Soil. It was awesome.

Winter Series 15k today. Took 2nd to Reily but I was still happy. 48:33 was my official time. Thats right around 5:14 pace. On the way out to the turn around I stuck with him but right before the turnaround he broke away and had a killer last half. Warmup was 4 miles. Cooled down to 15 for the day.

Ran up Emigration Canyon and back. Calves were really tight and legs still felt pretty sluggish. 

Ran up the canyon for 5.5 and then did for laps fast at Governers Grove. Felt okay but the laps weren't as fast as I hoped.
