Blake Bennions running

Easy miles. Been trying to keep my posterior tibial tendonitis at bay with hot baths and running on soft surfaces. I might take my recovery day on Monday rather than Tuesday.

I'd like to do some 800ms at like 4:55 pace sometime this week and then probably a relaxed tempo run or whatever Jake is doing on Thursday. I think 4x2 miles getting faster every rep would be fun.

Starting to get cold but surprisingly I enjoyed the weather today. It was mid-high 30s when I ran and it felt pretty comfortable in running shorts and a hoodie. Ran a couple miles at 5:55 pace and felt pretty good.

Easy and the track during practice

Spectating at state plus a couple laps around sugarhouse, might have run more but I kept accidently pausing my watch before running. Really is a nice park. Girls took 5th and boys took 10th! Was a lot of fun to watch the kids run. A few of them were disappointed with their individual results but both boys and girls improved as a team from last year and the girls beat Davis which was their big goal. Good day! Also watching Jackson Spencer was insane. Either the new course is really fast or he is the fastest high schooler in Utah cross country history by like 20 seconds.

Similar workout to earlier this week. 2 miles at 5:49 pace and easy besides that. Legs felt kinda tired today, I guess I did a lot of strides and hills yesterday. I'm pretty reliant on running with Jake to get real workouts in, hopefully he stops being sick soon. Nice to hit 200 miles for October.
