I made a huge improvement in my Gully long run PR. I ran over 100 seconds faster than I ever have before. I knew that today was going to be huge, I ran a 43:35 with ice and then a 43:10 with a hurt achilles. So today my goal was to run the race in less than 42 minutes. I really crushed my goal, which feels very good to do! This race was amazing and I am really happy about it! My next goal for the gully long run is to run it in less than 41 minutes. It is very possible that I could become one of the very few and elite Alta Hawks that has run this course in less than 40 minutes. I need to ask Coach Murphy how many runners have achieved this. I know that just 8 days ago the school record was 39 minutes. And before Kramer broke the record in the summer it was a higher 39. 41:28 is a good time, I am looking to make a new PR as soon as the next time trial for the gully! This was a very good day, and a very good race.

41:28 is a fantastic time Blake. You're getting fit! Great job.
