Blake Bennions running

Easy first 6 miles, opened up Pokemon go for the first time in a couple years and caught some Pokemons along the way, was nostalgic. Then I ran 3 miles at 10k pace, in about 17:55. Felt great but got a little hot towards the end, was also kinda windy. Was going to do 12 but was feeling drained and running out of time.

Easy run, although I sped up for a few miles because the weather was perfect and I felt great. It was like 60 degrees at 7:30 pm, strange day for June.

Warmed up 3 miles and then did 2 miles at 5k pace, a few easy laps recovery, and then another mile at 5k pace. It was 80 degrees and I felt a little tired/sore during the warm up but I felt great during the workout.

The first mile was 5:24 and felt really smooth, no discomfort at all. The 2nd mile got harder and I was pretty overheated by the last lap. 2nd mile was 5:30.

The last mile I felt pretty drained even after the break, I ended up running 5:31 which was a couple seconds slower than I wanted.

I'll do the Grove city 4th of July 5k, which is a pretty slow course. This is probably the last year I'll be here so I want to win it or at least take top 3. I'm in a lot better shape than last year.

Hot today, might do my long run this weekend tomorrow instead of Sunday.

Kind of hot today. I twisted/rolled my ankle just before mile 8 and felt a pop, I got up after a couple minutes of stretching it out and it seemed alright- there was some pain but felt plenty stable so I finished the run. Felt really strong today. Probably my highest mileage week since undergrad.
