Blake Bennions running

Warmed up and then did the gully for time, I still haven't started eating wheat again so I still sucked with 43:18. It was a nice day, probably would've been under 40:00 if I was healthy.

Also found out I might have had a sinus infection for at least half my life. When I had a concussion in 5th grade, the MRI showed I had a sinus infection, and it was still there when I had an MRI for another concussion the summer before 9th grade. And apparently its probably still there, I didn't hear about this until today, but apparently when they saw it back then they didn't do anything about it because they were more concerned about my brain. So I guess this means ANOTHER doctors appointment. I'm really sick of going to the doctor. So who knows how long I've had this thing and I'm going to check if I still have it, my dad says if I get it taken care of I might stop having asthmatic problems so I guess its worth checking out. I really really hope February is the last month I have any more doctors appointments for a long time!

Easy day, I ran with Zach and Ashton. Also I had all the JV runners that came do a core workout with us, we did push up's, sit up's, planks, Russian twists, flutter kicks, and stuff. They started not being able to do them for most of the minute intervals after a while so I suggested they go run another lap or two after that. They'd done 25-30 minutes but we were only a mile into our run. After that I did the best buy loop with Zach and Ashton.

4.5 with the team, then a weight room workout, pretty good, then a 1.5 mile extra by myself. I felt good but tired and sore, I'm getting back to myself though, hopefully I will be ready to go on Friday for a sub 4:35 mile. Also am making sure to keep hydrated.

Coach wasn't here today, Hefner told us to do 70 minutes. So interesting pre meet day of 8.25 miles. But its better for my training long term i suppose, I bet it will only affect me a couple seconds for the race tomorrow, there's a lot I want to put out on the track. I'm the only one going...again.

I dont know what to say.

I ran the Salt Lake Track Club 5k with Murphy and Andy. I ran 17:51, good for training. I dont know what place I took, I started out in the top 10, got passed by some people and, the last one who passed me I gathered enough of a kick to get passed him again. It was pretty fun, and they had good food! I just need to do what Murphy said, I can't be in good race shape 12 months out of the year, and I shouldn't force it like I've been doing. I just need to keep running and do good mileage and train well and I will be ok. I'm going to do 4/5 miles bow, I was thinking of doing them tonight but I'm feeling like doing them now, and maybe I will do more tonight, not sure.

I did 5.7, I felt really good. I feel good now, I've given myself some really good exercise this weekend.
