 Missed two days of running...no excuse really. This morning we took the bus up with a handful of people up to Copperton where the Marathon starts. Ran down to Daybreak. It was super smooth. Im always worried when I run again after missing a couple of days because my hip flexor tightens up so much...really annoying. I guess its now the best excuse TO make me run. This mornings run was in perfect weather though and even though we ran faster than I had originally planned, it felt like we were just on cruise control so can't complain. I did try the new peanut butter gu....not a fan. I really need to find a different form of nutrition because the gu's are just too hard on my stomach for some reason. Ill keep trying stuff from the store. BTW if you read this we are having a huge sale on Labor Day!! Come in to RunGr8!

p.s. I wish I was faster ha.

Had our group run at Daybreak lake tonight. I ran with Andrew, Erik, and Blake. It was a good run. Erik took us on his 6 mile loop dodging cars and lots of bugs.

Pretty much my first time this year running at night. It wasn't that enjoyable, anyone else feel like it was really humid? I have so much homework due tomorrow, glad I got my run in though! Going to check out Herrimans course tomorrow with blake and greg. Hopefully Ill be able to go to the invite.

First 4 miles in 29:33 (7:23/mile)
Last 4 miles in 27:19 (6:49/mile)

Met up at the store for our group run. The first 4 miles we ran fairly easy. Ran with Andrew and Blake. When we made the second loop I felt like Blake started to push it a little bit so then I started to push it and the rest of the way I just tried to maintain pace haha. Good run though, felt good.

The best part about todays run was that I was able to negative split all 3 miles. My splits went 6:28, 6:19, 6:05. Everything felt great. I ran on the Riverton 5k course where I ran my first post mission race in 20:53...so at least I can tell theres been improvement from April hahaha. Im slowly getting back into shape, hopefully next summer I can run into the 17's for 5k and 36's for 10k, although I must say 5ks just don't excite me anymore.

I had no idea what to expect from this race and I kinda jumped into it last minute. Thursday I ran pretty hard and didn't run friday so I wasn't expecting any sort of special time from this race. It also ended up being quite a bit harder than I thought it would be. We went out in a small pack in the front and for some reason I honestly felt like we were going a little slow...I kinda picked it up and jumped out to the front and ran along side Dennis Simonaitis, he is really tall haha he towered over me. Well needless to say for me I should not have tried to run with him. My first mile was 5:59, way too fast for me at this point in time. I know I can do that but Im just not in that kind of shape right now. I should look at it positively though because it was fun to run that fast. I faded quite a bit with the hills and finishing into the wind is never enjoyable. Many were complaining about how hard the course was. Yep I agree. It was fun to meet fellow blogger prestonmadera, hes a stud. I also talk with the 5k winner, David Rasmussen, he also ran at Bingham. Ive met him a few times but haven't talked to him since before my mission. Best part about saturday was Utahs win :)

Ran with my friend Quinton, he just got home from basic training and we went for a small run, then ended up running by Bingham to say hi to the coaches and got some free shirts from arb and a jersey for the store.

Haven't ran for a few days but felt alright. I have really been slacking on the training, my first half is coming up fast and I probably won't perform to what i could have done had I really focused a little more but it's okay it will leave me with some motivation for the next.

Had our group run tonight. I ran with Blake and Andrew, Erik and Sonya ran together. Its getting darker a lot earlier, I think Im going to buy a headlight. I couldn't see anything on the canal road coming back haha and the ducks kind of freaked me out. We ran Fish Hook tonight and it felt great. I am definitely at fault for pushing the pace after the first two miles but I felt good and wanted to push it.
