Born in 97', my liver in 74'

Am- Gully Long run! Finished decentlly in 48 minutes. Blake, Davis, and Cubby did a little extra gathering some newbies.

Pm- I decided to go to Wasatch and bought some Racing flats for the summer and had a good talk with Aaron. Afterwards I Went to Lifetime and did a glute and lateral workout.

Am- I couldn't make it to practice because I had work at 9. So I woke up at 6 to eat then ran at 7. I Ran to the bridge via Porters Trail. Ended up being 7.25 back to my house. Its alot better to run on porters rather than 13th east because theres NO TRAFFIC! Except walkers and bikers.

Pm- I ran 2 miles around LL breaking in my new Sayonara Racing Flats. I loove them! I will wear them out this summer from holiday 5ks and the Transplant Games of America in Houston... yes it will be very hot!

Am- Ran up at Alta today. First time of the season is always very tough! I had a good time though! We will be running at the gully tomorrow!

It was a really good run in the gully today i did a mile warmup. We started with 10 minutes more of warming up then 40minutes of fartleks 2mins hard 3 easy. 10 minutes cooldown. Fairly hard workout for the first week. 

Am- This morning I decided to run the Wasatch-Pepperwood loop hard/for time. My goal was to go under 1 hour. I started out on the uphill of 114th I made it to the 1.5 mile point in 11:00 minutes pretty quick uphill. I reached the top of Pepperwood before I started heading down in 30:20. The whole run I was working very hard, it was a tough run but I went 3:30 under my goal so I was happy. 

So my friend Luke's brother needed another guy on his team for spartan on friday night, so I said I would do it! No big deal right? Wrong this was my actual first Half Marathon. Adding 25 obstacles into it didn't help my case. 

This was probably the toughest overall thing I have ever done. The running wasn't too hard but throwing in 30 burpees because I couldn't lift a 100lb bag, that took a toll I failed maybe 6 of the obstacles. But still was able to finish first on my team by maybe 20 or 30 minutes.

I'm not going to say "It sucked" as I usually do because it was enjoyable. I had tons of fun even though it was challenging. They haven't posted the times yet so I put in a random time in. I will put my time in when it shows up on the website, probably later today.

Update:

I got a 3:14:59 and took 282nd Greg Greenwood ran 2:48:39 and took 72nd. Yes coach Lt. Dan would have died as well as myself if I was the one trying to save him. ;) I actually had to raise the 100lbs bag up 25ft on a pulley and back down without dropping it to clarify. :)
