Failures require the time to be studied

Finally my new start up north!!  Im married and all moved in with Charity ready to take on school and the exciting future of running in College. 

AM: 2 with Charity nice and slow paced.  She is going to turn out to be quite the runner some day.  After taking her back home i just headed out to explore around Provo.  I need to find some sweet trails to hit up.

AM: Got up around 9 ish this morning.  Clouds helped with the heat and humidity mix, but there was no sun beating down on me at least.  Ran a mile with Charity around the hood and then took of towards the MTC.  The run was just fine.  Energy felt good, pace was crisp and I got to have a little flash back session as I stood out side the MTC for a little while.  I ran by the BYU track and watched the team for a little bit.  Stomach was about a 5 on the hurt scale, which isnt good, but ill take being able to train over laying in bed crying.

 Went to Golds and did the old PV Track weight cycle.

AM: Woke up a little later that I would have hoped to but, what can I say when you stay up till 12 organizing the house with the wife.  I went south and hit up center street to go explore in the warmer weather.  I felt decent heading out, but on the way back I felt completly drained of my energy.  It was hard to even keep 7:20 pace on the way back.  Im sure its just from lifting and the odd sleep cycle.  Took charity out for her 1 mile jog and then spent some time stretching after. Stomach today was about a 3 for me.  Improvement! 

AM: Got up earlier to enjoy the nice and cool northern Utah mornings.  I found a sweet trail to run on that led underneath the main roads and around some cool neighborhoods. Stomach was just fine today, no major cramps or problems.

After the run I picked up Charity and we drove down to the BYU track to show her around.  We ran around the field and then a couple of laps on the track.  I brought my new Nike Mutumbos with me to break them in.  I just did one trial lap and hit it up at a 1:03.  I felt really good about that and excited to get into some serious training this season.

Today we had the chance to help Charitys Grandparents out with some work at their cabin up Weber Canyon.  We did a few hikes and just enjoyed the high altitude.  I didnt have much time to fit in a run, but we definatly had a blast helping out. 

PM: Well todays run was chill.  I just took Charity out for an easy 2 down on the trails.  Night time here is much different than St. George, It actually cools down.  It was about 70's when we got out so it made the run really enjoyable.  

Week Overview:

This was a chill week with not a whole lot of miles.  I just spent the week getting used to the altitude and enjoying the running life.  I recieved news from the NCAA that was not really what I wanted to hear, but lets just say that Ill probably be "Red Shirting" this first year in school.  Which isnt too bad of news because I know exactly what I want in life and im going to get it no matter what.  And that is to be a college athlete.  I dont have that chance right now, but Ill make it happen.
