I went on a four mile fartlek today. I tried to make it hard but I was feeling really good for all of it so I didn't push it much. I'm looking forward to race at Simplot Thursday.

Went on a 6 mile run with Jerrell in preparation for Simplot tomorrow. I felt really good on this run which leaves me feeling optimistic for tomorrow.

I drove up to Simplot with Jerrell. We got there pretty early, about two hours before Jerrell's race. I was expecting the track to be kinda like BYUs but I was surprised to discover it was wood. This led to me having to resort to my cross country flats. I was put in the 4th of five heats. I was ranked like 12th in that heat. I knew my competition would be Zan who was also in my heat, I was hoping I could stay with him for most of the race.This was probably my last high school race as I am not running track this season.

So the Race starts and I cut in from the outside wave. I was at a good position and slowed down a little. After a lead pack passed me I tried to hang on with them. Zan was leading it. We crossed the mile mark at around 5 flat which surprised me since I ran a 5:02 at the USU indoor invitational. At around lap 11-12 Zan started pulling away with the lead pack and I started falling back a little. The last two of the sixteen laps seemed to go on forever but I hung on. I was 3 seconds off my PR from last year's outdoor season which I am pleased with but I feel like I had the endurance in this race just not the speed, which was something I was expecting. Zan won the heat with a 10:08 and I was 22 seconds back.

It feels great to end my track career with a good performance at a pretty big meet and so now I look forward to longer distances, Triathlons and biking. I would like to thank my coaches Drew and Coach Reeder, for helping me be not only a better runner but a better person. Coach Reeder has been pushing me since I was a freshman. We were both driven by the same strong motive of making the Logan High cross country team a team that could qualify for state and further. We worked well together to make it possible and in the end I believe we were successful. Now we both leave behind a cross country team that we left in a good place with competitive runners. Hopefully if will stand strong for years to come. This season without coach Reeder I strived for team unity, something we had until as of late. Due to this Jerrell and I are really the only ones in my grade who made the entire the trek of four seasons of cross country with great amount of dedication. Jerrell has been a great friend and teammate. He's kept me working and I have great respect for him. Jesse Dunn has been my inspiration for my high school running career, he motivated me to become a faster runner through hard work, showing me by example. Drew helped me mature with his brutally hard workouts and his demeanor. He made me fast and also got me into biking. I hope to help him continue making other people fast this track season as an assistant coach.
