Blake Bennions running

Wasn't able to run monday, had time for a 10 miler while getting my oil changed befofe my recitation tonight. Averaged 7:03 for the run. I ran an extra long route from the dealership to my apartment, ended up being just over miles. It was actually somewhat warm today, like 40° so i changed into some warmer clothes ans went back out. I ran fo the track to see if it had been cleared off, it hasn't been unfortunatelt. Still bunches of snow all over. Finished up back to the dealership. I'm planning 8 miles on wednesday with a speed workout, and then a long run this weekend.

Run to the track and did 5x .2 miles in 55 seconds. I was actually really consistent getting 55 seconds per rep. The far side straight away was still covered in snow but I found a .2 mile long portion of the track that was continuously clear so that's rhe length I ran. I gave myself an entire half mile recovery around the football stadium between each rep so it was an easy workout. Just slowly getting my legs used to moving faster again. After the last .2 I did another lap on the track and ran home. 55 seconds for .2 miles is 4:35 pace, so I was pretty happy with how it felt today.

Saturday should be an easy long run, maybe I'll throw a few marathon pace miles in.

Actually had a pretty great workout today. I ran to the track and started running there. I was just going to go easy today, my first 3 miles mid-7 minutes. But then I just kept speeding up once I got on the track until. I ended up splitting a couple sub 6 miles, one 5:20s and was feeling really smooth. When I left the traci I stadted slowing down but I realized I could get a marathon pace half-marathon done today so I ran the last 5 miles at a pretty steady marathon pace, fastest was 6:46 and slowest was 6:54.

My alma mater won the Big Sky conference championship today, so congrats to them. That was really exciting to see. Crazy to think I could still be running with my old team. Love seeing SUU win.
