Out of difficulties grow miracles

Today was 8 miler with a 18 min tempo, ran on the virgin river trail. When we were supposed to turn around at 4 miles my watch was being funny so i think that me and Cameron went like an extra half mile of so. It was lots of fun and the tempo i should be running at is faster than my PR in a 3 mile, shows how much I've improved.

Today we ran old man hills with a total mileage of six miles. I specifically ran 4 400's up the hill. It was a nice easy hill, to go up and fun after we lifted weights.

today we ran just an easy four miles with striders at the end. On the four mile my legs where heavy and hard to keep the pace even though it wasn't that fast. Striders where a lot easier for some reason though. gotta stretch my calves out my shins are starting to hurt.

I ran a 6 miler today with a LT tempo for 15 minutes in the middle. It was hard to stay at the right pace for the LT which i think that it was supposed to be around 5:50 pace. I also saw Archie and Jason on my run. after the run i was walking around and my shins started hurting, I need to roll them out now, 

Just an easy 4 miler today. i ran on the middleton wash trail down a little way from artic circle with a bunch of apartments on the side. It is a super fun run with hills, bridges, tunnels, and a little bit of ice. Had side aches pretty much the last half of the run. My shins don't hurt as much as they did saturday, that's a relief.

Hard workout today with 4, 1000 repeats, and lifting after. I did really well hitting the right times for my 1000's every time. My first three were faster than needed then the. Then the fourth i was just a couple seconds behind. It was so hard to keep going after the second one, and i really had to push on the fourth one just to come even close to the right time. However I felt proud of myself afterwards being able to do better and hit the right time even if i did feel crappy.

ran 6 miles plus striders at the end coming up with 7 miles total. On the six miles we had 1-2:00 min fartlek and 2-1:00 min fartleks. It was fun running in the rain. i found that i can stay closer to the older, faster guys easier its pushing me to go even faster. Anyway a little after the last fartlek I had a hard time to keep my legs going but i pushed to stay with the other guys and after a while the fatigue went away and it was easier to stay up. The striders were a interesting experience, after the first two my feet went numb and felt like i was running on carpet, like i said interesting

AM 3 easy miles to artic circle felt so good on that run. 

PM- 5 easy miles, Ran on some trail by somewhere that i don't really know how to get to. There was a lot of hills and climbing it was still fun. defiantly easier on the way back I was kind of letting my self run down as fast as i could on the down hills until i had a thought of me tripping and landing on my face then rolling down the rest of the way, scary. then i got over it and enjoyed the rush of going that fast. great view when we got to the top it was fun to enjoy the amazing view for a while. Overall it was quite fun

Ran a 6 miler today with a LT pace for 20 min. I was invited to run with all the guys but i had things to do and wanted my breakfast to settle in first. The run by itself was hard but the LT pace was extremely hard. I had hard time to even keep my AT pace at times i just couldn't get my legs moving at the right speed. It was fun to run in the rain which was an upside to the hardness. but another downside is when i finished my shins just hurt like crazy all of the sudden they have been doing that a lot lately and don't know if i should be worried, but in the mean time icing and rolling for me. 

Today I ran 4*1000 meters at 87% with weights after, my splits for the thousands were 3:31, 3:36, 3:36,and 3:34. I was supposed to be hitting 3:35 so it was a really good run even though i felt terrible, the entire day I was tired and worn out so i was surprised with my times. I didn't run with the team in the morning because i didn't know about it but i needed the extra sleep. My shins weren't hurting as much today as they have been recently but they still hurt quite a bit

Today's run, well interesting, fun but interesting. 5 miles on the Temple Quairy Trailhead by the old airport. It wasn't a hard run but it wasn't easy either, with lots of rocks and weeds to jump over every now and then. with some parts more of a hike than a run. felt tired and really good at the same time. so like I said fun, but interesting.

AM ran a nice easy three miles

PM ran an 8 mile with a 24 min tempo in it. My tempo pace was 6:00 min mile but i wasn't sure how fast i was going because my watch wasn't working. I ran with Hunter for a long time on the tempo but i fell behind towards the end  and tried to catch up but it was really hard and eventually i could stay the same pace but couldn't catch up. I wasn't feeling very good at the end of the run and after i finished my shins started to hurt but only for a little bit.

6 miles today with 4 400 old man hills with weights after. The run seemed easy but i know it was hard on my legs and i felt it after the run my shins are still hurting and i'm still icing and rolling.
