Craik Evans LPHS Running

Pretty Ok run up on Bonneville. It was lightly blanketed in snow, but just enough as to be a good time. My stomach felt a little weird but it got better toward the end. THEN, we took our team pics for nike nationals!!!!! Good times as we were all dressed up in turtlenecks, so we had a considerable amount of class.

8 X 400 today. Relatively easy. I had to go to the bathroom in the last 2. Cool down for 2

6 down to AF high. Ran through grass relays course, then we went over to were some of the dudes were paying wall ball, I got like 6 outs in 30 seconds and had to stand on the wall and nobody could hit me haha. 

This workout was the COOLEST!!! We warmed up to Nikes track, and did a 3min 2min 1min on the track. It was a beautiful track. Cooled down back to tiger woods building, then had our legs "repaired". Great run and I felt good. Very excited for the race!

Most excellent run today. We ran the course for NXN, which was a little bit muddy but it seemed alright. Fun and easy. Excited and Nervous for the race.

I woke up this morning and all of the sudden I realized that I was racing at nationals. So I started to get real nervous. Then I remembered Evan Jager's advice: "If you are nervous, that means you care." Anyway the flag went down and the gun went off. I realized that if I don't take it out fast I never run a very fast race, so I just went out and focused on the ground to make sure I didn't fall. Then at the 1 mile mark I just hung with Seth. At about 2000 meters, Seth, Justin, and I were running all really close. It stayed that way till 2.5 miles. Then Justin and Seth started pullin away a little bit. Then we just kicked it in at about the same speed, they were just 65 yards away. Anyway it was a very prestigious race. S/O to Conner Baller who finished 9th at footlocker west and secured himself a spot at Foot Locker Nationals.
