Just started running XC last summer with Coach Barnes at Riverton High. One year of long distance track, competing in all three distance events. Now on the Cross Country team at UVU for my freshman year of college.
Butterfield Canyon run.. tough run! Ran up fairly slow but seemed hard because it was an incline the whole way. I stuck with Troy on the way up.. just behind Parker and Zak. 4 miles up in about 40 minutes. On the way down I ran with Barnes. It seemed fast to me. We averaged about 6:40's the first few miles, a 6:17, and the last half mile 5:30 pace! Probably my best training run to date!
Still dead from weights (lunges.. because it's by butt that is sore) on Tuesday and the canyon run yesterday.. Slow 4 mile run on the canal.. The Walmart Run. 8:49 pace
No run but I raced the Tour de Riverton bike ride that I have done the past three years. I usually stick with Taylor but this year my dad got into the whole road biking deal and I stuck with him this year and it was a lot of fun. 25 mile bike ride from the riverton park out to the copper mines (with the killer hill) and a freakin sweet down hill, out into herriman and back to the riverton park. This year was just fun. we finished in an hour and 45 minutes
Run after staying the weekend at DeEstas for the holiday. Ran up the canal by my house to the light by RHS and back home. Garmin was dead and turned off in the middle of the run. It was a slower day going about 8:30 pace.. just a guess
Tough Run up Yellow Fork Canyon! I have never gone this far.. ever! Made it to the top of the top of the ridges. About 3.2 miles up and 3.2 back down. Going up was brutal. Had to walk quite a few times but I made it and I hated it the whole way up but when I was done it felt great.
Canal run. Up 12600 S to the first canal. Down 11800 S past 2700 w onto the next canal headed to 12600 s then back up to RHS (4.5 miles) Tried to stay around an 8:30 pace today and averaged about 8:17 running with the new Jenica Played Ultimate Frisbee afterwards :)
Run with Taylor around Daybreak Lake later in the afternoon took it real easy for Taylor :) did about 2.5 miles
I met out in Herriman with Barnes, Ashlynn, and Jenica Jewett We ran a big loop around the south side of Herriman. We ran passed
Butterfield Park, up to the new Reservoir , down passed Barnes' house, on the
trail to Rosecrest Park, and back. It was a nice easy run and I
finally hit a 40 mile week :)
Jog up a mile and race down doing a Speed Mile downhill. I did it in like 5:45
9 Miles DOWN to Lava Hot Springs Pool. Brutal down hill for 6 miles then 3 miles of rollers the rest of the way. We got two water stops because we ran in the afternoon and it was freakin Hot. I felt like I ran this run pretty fast for a long run but.. 7:00 mile pace and finished in 1:03 not too bad :) we had some lunch then hit the pools.. I had a great time and actually got myself to jump off the highest platform twice.. good times good times
Easy 2 miles to loosen the legs after the 9 miler and prepare for the relay later on that day about 3/4 mile jog before the relay also did that after the relay The last run at camp was a relay with 3 people on a team each person running two 1.5 mile legs. Our team won but not technically because Nick and Barnes run a leg on my team, not exactly fair to the others but it was because Rylie and Shae weren't feeling so great. Boy my legs were hammered.. I found some energy to pull out about a 6.50 mile pace
I had a great time up at camp and I'm glad that Barnes let me go up and kind of help out... Now we are back to regular xc practice. We ran out to the little pond on the canal and back. I was just trailing behind Barnes and Parker.. running with Ashlynn most of the time.. my legs were dead
I met Barnes, Chris, Alex, and Schiffman for a loop around Herriman. Almost the same loop we did last Saturday (with Ashlynn and Jenica Jewitt and Barnes). Today I kind of took it a little slower than the other guys. they were doing like 7:39's and I was doing like 7:56 back with Schiffman.
Ran 4.5 miles with the team Second run I ran by myself with my new shoes asics 2130 (white) around to riverton to the jordan river parkway and back doing about 4 miles
We did a fartlek workout for practice today. I ran with Zak, Parker, and Stockton at the end. We warmed up for 15 minutes and did 5 x 2 minute repeats with 2
minutes recovery on the west canal road. We did an out and back so we
came back the same way. 5.51 miles 46:54
I did a second run just a 3 miles run around riverton. 1.5 miles out then back at 7:53 avg pace
My Birthday!! I ran with Jamin and Barnes 5.5 later in the morning out in Herriman.We ran out to the pond from the park across the street from Smiths and
back. We went and had breakfast burritos afterward at Mark
Anthony's mexican food. Barnes made me a banana birthday cake and it was delicious. we ate it at the restaurant. We were the only ones there because Jamin got Jose to open the place early to make us food.
I show up to practice on the 24th of July, even though it was a freakin holiday. Barnes made it worth our while and we ran a 10 miler. We went out into Bluffdale and ran some
I was only going to run a little 3 miler to get me to 45 miles but I met Barnes out in Herriman so me and Schiffman tagged along with Barnes and of course we went farther than just 3 miles. We ran 10 miles together from the park across from Smiths up to the mouth of Butterfield Canyon. It was a tough 5 miles uphill to the canyon, coming back was great.. 5 miles all down hill. The ten miles that got me to my first 50 MILES!!!!
We did a loop today that went over to Oquirrh, down passed the Park to
the pool, on the river trail, up tithing hill and back on 12600 S. We
warmed up for a mile then did a 1.5 mile tempo. We
also did 3 tithing hill repeats. This was a good
workout 7.2 miles total.
Me and Jamin wanted to go "Shoot the Tube" so we convinced Barned to make a practice out of it. We ran 3.5 miles around the river bottoms and around the neighborhood in Holiday and then went to shoot the tube. This was a blast! I went like 4 times down the tube and the first time down we had like 12 of us go at once and it was a big crash at the bottom.. but it was great! We got the water built up so high we just flew down the tube.. Nolan even got sucked down once because it was so strong. Great day great day.. we went to Jamin's Grandmas for some breakfast then off to the jordan river in Lehi to jump of the bride into the river. it was like 40 feet high and I did it.
I had to go on a second run to get in a few more miles so I drove out to day break and ran around the lake and then around the neighborhood and oquirrh mountain temple. 5.6 miles 8:40 pace
I went to the witch dr. in provo, Marv Roberson. my right hip was like 2 in. higher than the other and he fixed that right away and worked on me for like 2 hours.. he's good
Run up yellow fork canyon. We took a wrong turn or two and ended up trailblazing a little bit. I would have turned around earlier but I saw Barnes keep taking the rest of the team up farther and farther so of course I kept going. Went up about 4.6 miles and ventured back on another route. 9.5 miles
