Today was 7 miles at moderate pace once again. Everyone else wimped out so I went alone just like last Monday. I went down the Nibley Dip to the Miller road. I turned at South Cache and then went up main street back to the school. After that I did 10 sets of 10 second sprints. I felt worn out but not exhausted after that. I ended up averaging a 6:04 on my 7 which was one second better than last week so Improvement! After that I went to the Sports Academy and did some legs and core before heading home.

Today was just 5 miles easy with a tough hill workout tomorrow. But, when I was waling out of the locker room the door was closing so I stuck my foot out to stop it like I have a thousand times before. Except this time I felt a twinge in my achilies that lasted a couple minutes. But I went an ran and didn't have a problem. But as soon as I got home my achilies hurt like none other. So hopefully I can run tomorrow.

My achilies was still bothering me so I didn't run today.

Taking it easy today to see how my Achilles feels. I could feel my Achilles but it didn't hurt and it would hurt less the faster I ran. I went up to Blacksmith Fork canyon and back. Later I did some core with the rest of the team and went home and iced.

I was going to race the 1600 and depending on how my Achilles felt do the 3200. We started the 1600 and I immediately got trapped. I couldn't move until a lap in I finally just went between two kids. I tried to catch the leaders but had been trapped too long. I sprinted the final lap and caught 2 more kids to finish with a 4:39. A PR by 9 seconds! My Achilles didn't hurt at all until after the race so I did the 3200 as well. I took off the line and was right behind Ethan and Spencer for the first 4 laps. Then I just started to drop as I was running out of energy. Seemed like everyone passed me those 2 laps. The final lap I told my self just sprint till you cross that line. I caught 4 kids the final lap to get a 10:06. Another PR by 6 seconds. I had a good day and I know I could have done even better if I adjust my race strategy a little bit.

Today was easy 6 miles. From Providence to Riverheights to Merlin Olsen Park and back. My Achilles was really stiff for the first 3 miles but after that it loosened up. Got to be good to go for Simplot on Thursday.
