Really good alta run today, I felt really good the entire time. Kramer and I had to slow down for cubby and we stopped twice which kind of annoyed me because I wanted to get more mileage, but it's just a fun run and the first alta run of the year, but this is quite the contrary of my first alta run before sophomore year two years ago when I couldn't make it up to the campground without stopping to walk a lot and was the slowest person on that run, or even the first run last year when I had to stop on the way up I think and was completely dead at the top. I'm at a new height of aerobic fitness and I need to put in my summer mileage so I can dominate in cross country. 4-5 miles later. I need more mileage.

later I ran to work. I didn't intend to, but I ran it fast. I left at 3:43 or 3:45 and got to work at 4:07. Work is 4 miles away. It didn't feel like 5:30-6:00 pace though! I thought I was going a little fast just so I could get there by 4:15, but honestly if someone had told me I was running 7:30 pace I would have believed them, I thought it was more like 7:00 or maybe a little under. So it's good that I'm in really good shape already, probably bad that I ran as fast as I did. I walked for over an hour at work again, I do every shift, and I was able to take a nice shower at work so that was good too...4 showers today hahaha, they were all pretty short though. I feel really good about fast I currently am, possibilities are endless! 55-60 miles this week. 10 tomorrow, unless we do more than 10 in the morning, 8 on Friday, 8-14 on Saturday. Maybe we will go to jeremy ranch?
