Running Accomplishments:

Pr's 5k: 16:47 at region (2.9 mile course) 2 mile: 10:35 1 mile: 4:56 I haven't ran anything above a 5k competatively, but i hope to run a half marathon or something this summer.

Short-Term Running Goals:

In the next two years i want to take first in region my junior year in XC. I also want to break 5 on the mile this year, and then probably try and break 4:35 next year as a Sophmore. I also would want to break 10:15 on the two mile and maybe even 10 flat if i can, but all I can do is work hard and hope for the best.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to run a marathon. I have always wanted to know what its like and I would be so thrilled if i could ever break 3 hours. I think thats my main goal. I am also hoping that i can continue to work hard my high school years and somehow maintain a scholarship. Basically, thats my only ticket to BYU so thats what im aiming for.

Personal:

I am 16 and will be getting my drivers permit soon.

Hey, sorry for the late update... i almost forgot completely :( anyway.  The race was really good, i felt pretty good throughout the race and I ended up placing decently.  But i still wish i could have done better... The race was a tad bit longer then the usual 5k so my time may not be so good, but I did well in placement so im still ok with things.  I came in third for Murray once again behind another Murray runner by 1 second.  It was heartbreaking because i was behind him the last 100m and i passed him with about 40 left and then he kicked even more and passed me.  Kinda depressing but hey, im getting closer every race.  The guy that beat me by a second also beat me by a minute last race when i wasnt feeling the greatest, so im pleased with things... Sorry my updates havent been so good, ill try and get them on the evening of the race so i can you know earlier brent.

I dont know how much I ran today but im sure it was probably one of the most tiring workouts i have ever ran.  We ran SNAKE REPEATS... ( The snake is what we call a very crooked hill that is on the Murray course, its steep and very tiring during the race because its right in the middle and it drains your energy fast)  I think we ran up and down that stupid hill 20x times... Then after that we ran even MORE hills on a different hill in Murray Park.  We did it based off time though.  I am guessing 2 minutes up and down then a rest for about 5 minutes to stretch and then 3 minutes up and down etc. so it increased everytime.  I think we did like 3 reps of that.  Then to top it off we did some sprints.  1x 50m 1x 150m 1x 200m ( just estimates, i dunno the actually distances because we did them on a gradual uphill).  It was a hard workout but im glad I did it.  my ankles are extremely sore though, so i dunno if i will be able to go to practice tomorrow, I am really hurting... I have ice on for now, but i dunno if that will do the trick.

It says easy miles on the top, but when i ran today, it felt like horrible pain... It was a really hard run and very tiring.  We started out well and everything was good. But as the day wore on. from running on the road constantly, it began to get very hot and hard to run on the concrete for such long consecutive miles...  I hated it. By the end of the run i was dehydrated and I was in a bad mood.  I went strait home and had an ice bath 3 minutes after i got through the door.

 

definately a bad day
