Ran the Gully Longer run with Kramer, David and pulpy, it was great to see Kramer again and hear about his mission! Jacob Alred was there too, it was awesome to see him too! Then Coach Murphy took us to breakfast, great day!

Ran with Kramer, Jacob and Coach Murphy. I did 2 flying forties and wow, I have not sprinted in a long time! It felt like I ripped my quads apart haha. That's something I need to remember, I haven't even started any speedwork yet so if I'm already as fast as I was going into senior xc coming off a 4:31 1600m and speed is that foriegn to me, I think I can do great this season! I ran some more after we did core work in the gym.

I feel great! Definitely feel I am at an improved level of fitness, I don't think I've ever felt so strong on an alta run. I felt great going up and the campground loops felt awesome, the way back was a lot of fun too. So I'm feeling confident about things! I need to get my speed back though, tomorrow I will do a few flying forties with some interval work. And of course I need to improve my core. Also today was the first day of the year that I've done a long run without having bad bowel problems. I also finally started on the vitamins I'm supposed to be taking for suu so maybe that's a factor in me feeling better too! So tomorrow I need to get up early for that workout, and then saturday I'm not sure if I'm going to do a 3 mile run or an 8 mile run. Or its possible that I will take saturday off and run sunday instead. I guess we will see. Time to start taking the weekends harder. I have no clue when the next time I race is, and I'm not sure what the progression run is that I am doing my first week at suu. But I feel like I'm going to do really well the next time I get to test my fitness!

An good paced 7 miles, kept it under 6:45 per mile and did 4 flying 40s on the Brighton track, I also got a lot of strength training in helping my brother move all day. Saturday was off, my body was feeling a little drained from all the lifting and stuff. Sunday will be a normal run, probably like 6 miles. Then one last week of training with Alta before I move on down to Cedar City! I guess I have 9 days before that mysterious progression run.
