Nice run at the Brighton track, I did just did some striders and jogging back after an easy lap, my brother video taped me for his film class.

We ran 5 miles and then did a 3 mile tempo run, I ran 17:00 so it was ok, not great. We did another 2 easy miles and for the last quarter mile we finished with a max effort, I dont know what I ran but I finished 5+ seconds or so ahead of everyone else, maybe a little less ahead of Davis. I am interested to see if taking albutoral before the next meet will improve my performance. Also I decided that going to Disney world from Christmas to January 2nd will be ok as long as I get my mileage in. I've been thinking about it and worrying about losing my acclimation to altitude and doing a little worse at USU invite in mid January but I decided that the mental health benefits would help. Also I can can run a 1600m race before going down to Florida and then race one there and see how much better it is, this will give me am idea of how much better I should be looking to do at the Arcadia 1600m than I will have run at the early meets of the season.

Got stuck behind the pack until the last mile, not a great race, more later.

Wouldn't call it easy but I got the 15.6 in, I ran at a pretty fast pace for most the run. I started out slow and then picked it up, I also had some big hills in my run. Very tired by the end, it was hard but I felt good, didn't have stop running at all during the run, just because I got lucky when crossing the streets. I love this feeling after a good hard long run. Especially one that pushes the mileage you're comfortable with doing. I think I do want to do ultras eventually. Running is the so amazing!
