Blake Bennions running

Afternoon- 5 easy stroller miles with Whitney

Evening- 2 mile warm up and then 2 faster miles, didn't really have a goal pace. Ran 6:31 and then 5:49. Cooled down a mile, 4 strides.

Stroller miles with Jake and Whitney.

Estimating here. I ran 2.4 with Whitney over to the store and back, have 2 flat tires on the chariot I need to patch. Then right as Becca got home like 20 mins later Jake and a couple of the weber xc guys showed up and recruited me to run for a bit with them. Was really fun! I think it was a little over 2 miles.

Ran up to the rec center and did the first mile of the 5k course. I always forget how much uphill that course has, I ran it in 6:18 and it felt pretty good. I also gave a hard effort for the final stretch of the race, maybe a half mile down to the finish. Felt pretty good, but we'll see if I pay for it tomorrow.

Ouch

Warmed up uphill 1.5ish miles and then ran an 800m with Jake and Shelby in 2:36. 200ms we're 32, 38, and then backed off to 86 for the 2nd 400m. I also ran in lane 2 for both laps.

Then we ran up 500 to the canal road and did a 3 mile tempo averaging just 6:10. Then we had a short recovery and the next 4 miles we climbed up past big rock and went through to Coldwater and then back down. By the time we stopped going up the mountain and started coming back done we were passed 10.5 so I was pretty drained. My legs were on fire on that climb.

Had a stabbing pain in my chest where my heart is a little before we finished the run, so that's kind of weird- haven't had that before.

Ended with a mile of walking.

Not really any part of this run was nice and easy but it was a lot of fun.
