Blake Bennions running

11.25 in the gully with Coach Murphy, Cubby, Davis, and Read. I felt good today, my ankle was a little tight at the beginning but it got better. I'm really curious about this years team, there's a strong top 3 and then a lot of guys who could be good, but its really unclear how good any of them are going to be. I'm really excited to test myself at highland, 3 months of good summer training is almost finished and I'm ready for the season to begin. I really like hills, especially when there are other people to run with. I might do a few miles tonight, I'm feeling really good and I'm feeling like running. Also, my spit is blue, which is awesome, thanks for the Gatorade Coach!

We did 30 minutes of tennis ball fartleks where one person sprints out and another throws the ball to them. It was fun, very quick practice today! 6 miles tonight!

6 miles, half in the rain. I wasn't feeling very good in the middle of this run, my legs were feeling really weird, 6 miles feels really short now! But I started feeling great towards the end! Good to get out a poopy run the day before a time trial! 

Not so good, it was a PR by a but but I haven't run it in a month. I wasn't really feeling it today, I didn't do any pre-meet stuff. But I didn't do as well as I wanted but its just one race, I will get back to my usual self quickly. There was really know part of this run that I did good on, I did ok on the uphill but should have pushed harder, I sucked at the campground as usual and then I just wouldn't push it back down. Cubby and Davis did really good today though, and Ashton and Read also, out team looks like it could be really good! I will do 3 miles tonight. This week I am going to run about 65 miles.

3 miles later, a good strong pace. Back in middle school I had an iPod classic, sometimes I would make a playlist of about 128 songs, listen to them all, the best 64 would make it to the next playlist and I would cut it in half every playlist until there was just 1 left. Then I lost my iPod at a track meet. Two thoughts came to my head, 1. I had way too much time on my hands in middle school and 2. I'm still really pissed I lost my iPod! To be perfectly honest it was probably stolen, my first track meet a junior football player/sprinter stole my shoes. A lot of things got stolen that year!

I got in 7 miles with the team, we also played tag after 2 miles and before the last 5. So we got a good run in and had some fun! I felt pretty good today. 3 more miles later.

I ran 1 mile, to the park and was on my 2nd lap when I twisted my ankle. I had to limp home half a mile. I'm in a terrible mood. My ankle is swollen and hurts pretty bad.

The ankle is feeling a lot better today, I had a ton of trouble getting up the stairs yesterday, every time I put wait on my ankle it would started hurting a lot until I elevated it and got off my feet. But today I had to limp at first but now I can walk with no pain. Probably going to just ice and rest today and maybe run tomorrow night.

20 minute biking workout, just wanted to see how it felt on my ankle and get a small workout in.
