Blake Bennions running

4.5 miles at about 7:00 pace as well as 3 miles walking before and after. The plan is to run tomorrow after my recitation. I will indeed be running the glass city marathon at the end of next month haha. So that's a big motivator to get in shape. This weekend I should be looking at an 8-10 mile run.

Chest day at the gym with Ian after I finished up at the psych building, went pretty well. Walked home to put my laptop away and ran back to the gym and ran 2.62 miles on the treadmill at 6:44-6:49 pace. Then ran to the psych building because I was really hungry, I had to run around a bit to get to 4 miles total. I walked home as a cool down. Planning on doing an 8-10 mile run this weekend/Monday.

Warmed up on the way to the rec center. Last time I'll be on bg campus for a while. I needed my free t-shirt though. Took a while to find the guy proctoring the mile time trials, which were on the treadmill btw. BG is a ghost town ever since they cancelled classes for the semester. Wow that happened fast.

Anyways, the fastest time on the board was 5:01 and since the treadmills only go 12 mph I figured the best I could do was tie it. So tie it I did. Started hurting at the quarter mile but just pushed through it. Had a little doubt with .4 left but then I just thought of it as a completion thing rather than a race and that got me through it.

So tied for 1st, wish the treadmill went a little faster so I could cross off my 2020 sub-5:00 mile. But I'll do that soon enough.

Cooled down and went home. Probably driving to Utah tomorrow. No need to be here in BG.
