Blake Bennions running

I warmed up 3 laps, actually 4 because of the striding lap. Add on the best buy loop of 6.5 and the mile after and I did 8.5. It was a nice run, I can not wait for the speed workout tomorrow!

Todays workout was really fun, it was 12 400s, 3 sets of 4. We had 40 seconds of break in between each 400 and then 4 minutes between each set. My goal pace was 80, but I hit 78 and 79 for all of them but 77 on one. I tried to slow down to 80 but my body didn't want to, the workout felt really good! It was just Kramer, Brayden, and me so the track was completely clear and I could run in lane 1, it was so nice! Today was my favourite workout of the year for sure, and one of the best ever!

.75 for the warm up and stride lap at the beginning. We ran the gully long run easy, like 8 minute pace or so. it was a really nice run. Some guys really need to stop complaining. It was a good feeling 9.25 mile run. Tomorrow is going to be fun!

We warmed up and then did 8 200s at goal 1600m pace. it wasn't that hard but it was a little tough. After that we did a cool down and 4 striders. Long day, I have a lot of stuff I need to do before the quarter ends, I'm going to stop lifeguarding for the rest of the year because I need to concentrate on other things. It was a rough day.

It's a really nice day today! I'm going to go play tennis if the nets are up yet! We did a mile of warming up and then a really really easy 4 mile run. We stuck with everyone, I had to go on a couple round ups to keep everyone together. It was a really good day of track. In general it was a good day. Its been a weird week. Tomorrow we are running the gully long run for time, I want to run under 41 minutes, to do so I need to show up a lot more prepared than last week. I honestly just want to race the 1600m right now, I also want to see what i could do in the 3200. But I need to be patient and concentrate on the present.

This was an awesome race! 40:42 is a really good time, I am capable of anything this track season, I know I am going to run some great times this season! I really want to get under 40 minutes for the gully before the first meet. Only 43 seconds away!!! Really I am becoming a good runner, this time in the gully means a lot. I really want to see what I can do on the track right now, but more patience and the longer I keep training, the faster those times are going to be. I am feeling really good! Brayden became the 3rd runner to ever go under 40 minutes, earning the 2nd fastest gully runner in alta history with a 39:12, and Kramer broke the record agian with a 35:40! Ashton also put in a great race and ran a 42:46! Today was a great day for all of us, I can't wait to run again next week. I am going to do a few miles with my brother in the afternoon. I went to my wards region basketball game and got there in time for the last quarter, we won in 33-30, it was good to be on the winning side of that haha. My plan for the rest of the day is to catch up on hw, run, core exercise, and relax.

Later- I did 5 minutes on the bike, I was going to do 15 but instead I ran to red box with my brother. It was about 2 miles, easy, he picked it up for a couple hundred meters to about high 6 low 7 minute pace but nothing strenuous. I also did a core workout.
