Blake Bennions running

I was not sure at all how I would do on this, it was my 3rd day of running this season so far and I was worried I would do embarrassingly bad. Because I'm not currently in good shape I just thought I will be happy with an 11:30. 11:46 isn't far off from that, considering I am way ahead of where I was last year at the beginning of the season, and the beginning of the season last year was late July and my best time was a 17:05; I am really looking forward to getting into shape this season and really pushing my limits to achieve my goals and help out my team. We did a 2 mile warm up and a 2 mile cool down so overall 6 miles.

I went running with my team this morning at Alta ski resort, it was really tough, we stayed together for 12 minutes and then once the 12 minutes were over I picked up the pace a lot and then died after another mile or so. Its hard to say exactly what pace the miles were at because it was uphill so they were slower but at the same time it was really hard, especially after I ran out of energy and died. Really hard, but cool run that I know will help me during the season.

I woke at 6 and left to go to the sandy classic, I thought it was off redwood road in south Jordan but I couldn't find it. I was really disappointed, so I went to the brighton track and ran an easy mile to get my legs moving. I will either cross train or go back to the brighton track for some more miles later today.
