Nice 10 miles at sugarhouse park. We did 4 or 5 fartlek reps, they weren't too bad but they got me kind of tired. It was a good run though, I really enjoyed it. My achilles hurt on the first fartlek but my joint/tendon in the front of my ankle felt good. After the run Coach Murphy bought us donuts, they were great after the run, thanks coach! I really wish we had spring break right now, I have to write an essay before going to work today. I got panda express!!! Running was the highlight of the day for sure.

We did a mile warm up, then a hard 2 miles, then the lower loop, then a hard mile, then a cool down. I ran the 3200m in 11:24 and the 1600m in 5:26.

Easy best buy loop. I felt good. The best buy loop is starting to seem really short!

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.

We ran the porter rockwell trail, I ran 5 miles into the trail with Kramer and Ashton, Aaron ran with  us 3 miles in. Then we ran back to get to 10. It was a good run, I think we probably averaged lower 7 minutes pace but I felt really good the entire time. I have had a pretty good week of workouts, now I get the next 50 hours to rest up for next week. Track starts on monday, it is going to be awesome!
