Blake Bennions running

Lots of running around getting my car working.

2 miles at 6:40 on the treadmill and then 5 miles outside. Didn't feel as good today as usual. That might be because I lifted with Ian right before I ran. First semester is coming to a close, I think it's gone alright. There are some stressful things and so much I need to learn, but I think I've built a good base here.

Ran to the psych building, later ran home to get my car.

6.2 miles at 6:20 pace to celebrate BYU upsetting NAU today! So much fun to watch, monumental day for Utah running. Pretty exciting we get 2 more years of Conner mantz running at NCAA.

I actually averaged 6:17 for the the run but it works. I also watched Karleighs dance performance, bgsu hockey, and OSU beat Penn State. Good day. Not nearly enough work on my papers... Oh well, there's always tomorrow and Monday. Really all of next week.

I really want to run under 2:40:00 in the marathon eventually. But for my first race the goal is 2:55- safely under BQ standard. Slowly working my way up to 2/3 10 mile runs per week. Well it will probably end up being at one or two long runs and one or two shorter runs.

Anyways, today was good. Life is good, I'm happy. School is stressful and sometimes I feel like I'm just nothing, but that can be motivating. I'll get there.
