Longest run of the week today and it felt great. Ran most of the run with the Varsity/ upper JV guys and they all did really good. We ran around Shnobe Kibe and did rollercoaster with everyone and then looped around and dropped most of the guys off at Sullivan. The Varsity guys continued on the river trail and really picked up the pace, but it felt great and natural. Those guys are all beasts and I can't wait to race with them

Had an epic night run with da boyz. Me and a few guys on the team had to take the ACT this morning and didn't get a run in, so we decided to go at night. It was me, Colton, Corbin, Grant, and Parker and we met at the Green Springs Park. We were gonna do the Powerline Trail, but we realized it was kinda hard to see and we were all trippin on the rocks so we flipped and just ran around Green Springs on the road. We went from going an 8 min pace to 7 and 6:30 paces. The pick ups felt great and all the guys did great. Even when I started to pick up the pace a bit, Grant, Corbin, and Colt all stuck in there. Parker did good too, especially with his messed up knee. If they all keep it up, we're gonna have an epic xc season.

Had a great workout today, tempo on the dirt mile. It was awesome to have all the guys do most of the workout together, they all pushed really hard and did super good. There was a point for everyone when it got hard, but we all pushed past that pint and kept going.  We got a nice solid group for this xc season and it's gonna be lit!

I had to go to youth conference this morning so I did a run on my own. I had to switch today's run with Saturday's so that I would have time to get ready to leave. The run was alright, ran into Cooper and Tavin doin their workout so I ran with them for a bit. It was cool to see them out that early too, it really showed their dedication. Really wished I could've been running with the whole team cause running on your own just sucks.

First run here at Snow College and it was pretty beast, had a nice group of guys from PV and D-Hills. We all ran together for just under half of our run, then the D-Hill guys and Colton flipped so it was just me and Mikey. It felt good and had a nice stretching session after

Ran with Mikey and Ethan for a little while but then they flipped so I just went by myself into this cool Canyon. Kinda scared I would get attacked by a bear or chupacabra or something tho.

Holy crap this was a hard run. Not only is the heat rising, but so is our mileage. This was the longest runs of the season so far and felt good for the most part, but the final few miles was brutal. Stretched like a mutha after and feel a lot better now.

Nice, chill run today, ran a lot of it in the desert and sand. We had a nice solid group, we were a little bummed that not everyone stuck with us tho cause they can definitely do it. It's getting pretty hot and I think everyone's starting to feel it, but we were able to push through it and had a great run.

Felt great today, had an awesome hill workout. We had a great group of guys, wish a few others could've done it with us tho. The last couple hills were a little difficult, but otherwise it was solid.

Awesome run at the Confluence Park with the boiz. Ran on a golf course for a bit which felt nice and the run as a whole was pretty chill. We had a great group of guys with us, super proud of those guys like Can robin and Jose for sticking in there with us for the most part.

I hate running by myself, but I had work this morning so I had to just do it. Ran up the trail at Sullivan Park and just flipped when it ended. it felt alright, went a little too slow for some of it, but I was able to negative split the run.

Today was a really good day, the run felt fantastic. It was the furthest I've ran this season but it definitely didn't feel like it. We had a great group together the majority of the run, which made things even better! Super proud of Colt and Mikey for their awesome efforts. I was able to stick with Carson and it felt great to be up there. Can't wait to run more with these beasts!

Beast run at the Heritage Park, last run with the team for a while. It was pretty chill, nothin too hard. I wish we could a little bigger of a group, we were missing a guy or too who could definitely be up there with us.

First run in LA and it went pretty good. Had a semi hilly run to the beach from my Dad's apartment, it was pretty chill. My foot started hurting though, it felt like one of the tarcels in my foot so I'm gonna keep my eye on that. Cali's pretty lit but I can't wait to get back with the team.

decided to switch today's long run with tomorrow's grass run. things were pretty chill today, there's a lot of beach fog so it felt pretty good. ran 25 min around this neighborhood and then i found this cool soccer park to do the grass part of my run. my foot didnt hurt when i ran today, but it kinda does after. I'm gonna ice like a mutha.

Fantastic long run here in Cali. My run was either downhill, or on a flat beach trail. I honestly didn't want to stop running, I felt like I could go forever. My foot didn't hurt at all, though it was pretty sore yesterday.

Finally back with the team!!! It's like 20x better ruining with these guys than alone. We had an epic hill workout and most the guys did great! A few could've stayed with us abut didn't, that was kinda sad cause they totally have it in them. I was really impressed with those guys like Tavin, Cooper, and Jose. They did really good on the workout and stuck together well. Foot didn't hurt during the workout, but it does a little now. I'm gonna keep watching it.

Awesome long run with da boyz! It was the longest run we've done in a long time and it felt great. It started to hurt with the last 15 minutes but we pushed even harder and pushed through the pain. I was super happy when we got done and really proud of my beast teammates. This season is gonna be littttt!

Runs were pretty chill today and it was pretty awesome. I am so frickin pumped for State on Wednesday!!! We’ve had a few really rough races this season but I am completely confident in my team’s ability to win State. I trust each of the 6 guys running with me and I know they can each do something amazing.          

Carson: he has been such a great leader for this team. I know we’ve joked with him every now and then about not being a good captain, but he’s been one of the best leaders and examples I’ve had. I’m so excited to see him run at State because it’ll be one of the greatest races that day and he’ll definitely turn a lot of heads. He has more heart than anyone I’ve met and he truly loves this sport. The dedication he’s had shows this. Wednesday’s his chance to show what it means to be an elite runner and he’s gonna do it and will lead this tram to victory. I’m  so grateful to have one of PV’s greatest runners on my team.                                                       

Alex: he has always been a runner I looked up to and he always will be. He has so much experience as a runner and that is gonna show on Wednesday. I know he can stick up with Carson and the 2 of them can work together towards greatness. Like everyone else, he’s had some rough races, but he cares a lot about this team and is gonna give it his all on Wednesday I can feel it!

Julien: oh boy. What to say. Julien is one of the most gifted runners I have ever seen. He was born to run. mix that with his guts and you have an amazing runner. He’s been injured this past season and has let that effect his races, but come Wednesday he’s gonna push all of that aside and race his GREATEST race of the season. This little kid is this team secret weapon and with him running his best this team will do great things.

Nathan: I am so proud of Nathan’s progress. He has really stepped up to the plate. I remember at XC camp when his goal was to be this team’s 3rd or 4th runner. Well he’s doing it. He had a goal and he went after it and I truly believe he can accomplish it. I want to see him up there in our front pack and I think we can all expect to see that happen because he is the kinda guy who you can trust.

Spencer: this guy can really go after it! Spencer is a key member of this team, one who has had some incredible races. Despite injury, sickness, and a whole bunch of other craziness he’s gone through, Spencer has become a great runner and a guy I can rely on. When he gives it all he’s got, you can tell. And I think he’s ready to show everyone his true potential at State Wednesday.

Dylan: Dylan cares soooo much about this team. He reminds me so much of Xander, and is one of the greatest guys I know. Dylan wants this team to do so well and I’m so glad he’s gonna be there racing alongside me at State. When it comes down to it, Dylan will not let this team down and he will fight for us. He’s stuck with our pack before and can sure as h*ll do it again. He deserves it.

So I’m not sure if these guys will read this or not, but I care so much about all of them and want them to know that I’m so frickin proud of how far we’ve come. I promise you guys tha I’ll give my all for this team on Wednesday because we deserve it. And if we don’t  happen to win on Wednesday it doesn’t really matter because we’re gonna run our  best and that’s what’s important. I couldn’t be more proud to be a Panther. PVXC FOREVER!
