Blake Bennions running

Woke up at 6:40 but somehow didn't make it out on my run until closer to 8. Just not feeling it today. Ran up to canal and then over to 1050 and did a couple quarter miles at mile race pace. Then did a couple threshold miles on the way home at around 5:30. Walked wherever I could find shade the last mile or two. Was a glorious moment to be reunited with water. Enjoyed a nice milkshake as well- I did not get the ratio of milk to ice cream right but it hit the spot after wandering the scorching streets of pleasant view for a couple hours.

With Jake, got out at 6:45 and it was muggy.

Warmed up a little over 2 + strides with Jake and Henry.

Mile tempo in 5:27, didn't feel great

Had a lot of trouble catching my breath after most of these reps. Hopefully these workouts pay off. I think I'm going to start trying to do one of these per month going forward.

Pretty easy pace averaging 7:30 but heart rate climbed to 150s. Probably just the heat. My motor has just felt weak for a couple months, but I think my legs are finally starting to come back. I think I'll be good after a few workouts focusing on 5k-half marathon pace.

Ran with Jake, started way too late at 7:30. We stopped at around mile 6 and and watched Josh Kerr break the mile world record, was very awesome. Gotta wake up at 6 and just get out the door tomorrow.
