I won all 8 races that I ran and got a perfect score of 328 points. But I did not win the circuit because I did not run in the winter races when I like playing basketball. My dad also would not let me run in long races like half and marathon. But I know that I am the best runner and next year I will win it. It makes me sad but my dad said those are the rules. I was also sad that my dad could not run as he was hurt

I was glad snow melted, race was from Jewish Center on University of Utah and along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. This was hardest 5k Ive run because of big hill climb and it was on trail. Because of that it was not a fast race. I won my age group and was 3rd overall including adults. I almost got 2nd place.

Basketball practice. I like basketball too so its hard to do both it and run

Ran to school with my dad

Woke up for the race. When I was running I got a big cramp for almost the whole race. I did not have good form. I think I drank water too for the race so I still had quite a bit of water still in my stomach. Will try to drink less before race next time. I still did Ok getting 2nd in my age group. I also won my 3rd trophy in a row for the Provo running series which is exciting. In this race I am saying 20th place because that includes the open high school runners. Without the high school runners I would be in top 10.

This is a race that was on Saturday night but I could fit it on since it was the 2nd race I ran that day. After a not best race this morning, I did want to have another bad race. I got a PR by about 27 seconds. My watch had me at 20:01 and the clock had me at 20:01, but the time reported was 19:52 which some runners counted. My Dad and I decided to use the slower time we had on the watch and not what they listed. I had a great race ! I won my age group and got a $15 gift card for running store

Today I ran 5 and half miles with my dad and my dog in Dimple Dell Park. I enjoyed it.

Shoes: Flats - 296 Spikes - 29 Black - 126

Went to team practice at Olympic ice oval. Ran 8k of 200s and 400s

My dad took me to Buttercup Park - I ran for 30 minutes doing laps timing myself with watch I won at Hills 5K. My form was better

Not much running except home from school with friends and walking for tricck or treat

Today we had practice but we went to Cottonwood Park instead of practice. First I ran the coarse slowly, then I did some hills. Then I ran some intervals. Next I did my cool down with my dog and Dad.

I went to Cottonwood Park to get the coarse well memorized. My Dad was cutting some branches for the coarse.

Had the state meet. I got second to Eli. I got an pretty good time. I got a silver medal. I got SECOND in state. I felt pretty good overall. I felt happpy to get second in state. I wanted someone to be there to push me but I knew I would have to try to push myself. I improved a lot from last year(36 seconds). I was hoping for a better time. My goal is to do way better in regional, and to get All American in Nationals. 

Went back to Cottonwood Park and did recovery runs with my Dad and dog

Had to get up early for regionals. I was feeling really good. I had some oatmeal for breakfast. I did OK. Our team got first which was a supprise. I improved from place 19 from last year to place 11.             I started out too fast. I was within two tenths of a second from my time of state at this regionals. I got a medal for getting in the top 20, and a trophy for our team getting 1st. Things I need to work are getting a little slower start, work on form, keep my head up, do a long warmup, do the up hills faster. Things I did good on were down hills, landing on the middle of my foot, long warmup, not think about tiredness and pain. i felt I did prettyy good overall. I am going to nationals in December to Lawrence,Kansas. I am really excited to got to nationals.

Then I had competetive basketball practice at Fort Herrimann Middle School. We did 2 hours of scrimmages. I had a lot of fun.

Then I had Jr. Jazz practice for an hour

Then got to the Olympic ceremony and we walked in like the Olympics by region. saw Billy Mills give a real cool talk i want to run like him

today i ran in the national olympic championship for kids. i did good but did not get all american. I placed 50th out of over 300 runners, so i think i still did very good. My time was 12:22 which is better than I did at regionals and state. many kids did not improve. It was a very hard race, weather was very coldd. I started out ok and passed many kids on hills both up and down but some passed me on flats. it was windy and spome freezeing rain. There was ice and snow on trail. I dressed warm and wore a baliklavio on my head. i finished strong. My team got 6 place which is good too i think as there were many teems.this probably will be my last blog for awhile. I play basketball too which I really like now. my dad sais maybe we will run some winter race and practice if there isnt basketball. i dont run all year becasue of other sportsI had a good run year with prs in all races distance but i did not do a 4k. in track in spring I broke 3 state recors.
