Brayden Youngberg Running

Ran with the team this morning, it was the first summer team practice and I was super excited and it was a nice run.  About 5 miles, ran with Sam and Gavin on the way there an Jake Smith on the way back.  Did 2 more miles tonight and I was just going to go at tempo pace, but I started runningand felt amazing.  Something felt diffrent, it was the best run I have had in along time, it felt fun and like nothing could stop me. My first mile was a 5:56 and my second one was a 6:10.

I was going to do a Stepping Stone today at Mcgriff park.  I ran there, and they were mowing the lawn and stuff there so I was not able to do it there.  I then ran to Lomond View park to do to it there, but there was a bunch of lacrosse stuff going on.  So I ran back home with out being able to finish my work out.  I planed to do it later tonight, but I ended up working until 10. So hopefully I will be able to make it up in the next few days.

Great run today. I did what I was planning to to yesterday.  I ran to McGriff park on the canal.  Once I got there I did a 5 to 1 setpping stone (5 min. fast then 5 min slow, down to 1).  After that I ran home.  I had no idea how long it was going to be, but I was expecting around 7 miles, but it ended up 9.03.  

Did 5.5 with the team on trails this morning and 2 miles later tonight.

Woke up at 5:00 to go on a run  before youth conference.  I ran to Sam's house and then did 4 more miles with her up the pass, down the powerline trail a few minutes, and back.

I didn't get home rom youth conference until around dinner, so I went on a run late tonight with henry.  I ran to his house, and we did a 5 mile route he knew.

Did 7 with the team on the Odgen Parkway. We started at the park by the canyon and ran down and around the pond and back averaged a 7:02 pace.

Did 5.75 this morning.  Ran to Lomond View park did a hill workout there.  Cooled down to the stoplight on Washington when I finished, then ran back to 500 W and ran down the canal road a little ways then back home through the neighborhoods.  I did 3.5 later tonight on the canal road, did a mile, then a mile at tempo pace, then another mile and ran home.

I did 4.5 this morning.  Ran to highway 89 and back with a little loop around my neighborhood. did the first 3 miles at tempo pace and slow the rest of the way.  Easy 3 miles later tonight with jake.

Did 5.25 this morning with the team on trail.  There was alot of hills, but it was fun. Did 2.5 later tonight with jake, up 500 to the cave above the canal road.

Did a mile earlier today. Later did 5 miles with Jake and McKenna to the duck pond by Lee's.

Was planning on doing a long run today but just ran out of time.  Did 5.5 with Jake, Henry, and Sam. It was a good run, but I have to make up some miles next week

Had team practice this morning.  We went on a trail run and got about halfway up waterfall canyon. Me and Gavin got lost on the way back and ended up running extra, it ended up being 5.75.  I did 3 more miles tonight before the thunder and lightning came.

Did 4 miles this morning on the canal at a good pace, but on my way back I got stopped by a dog and had to track down its owner. I did 3 more miles this afternoon.

I did an 8 mile long run this morning, I stayed at a decent pace but it hurt.  On Monday I did a P90X Plyo workout after my run and I was definitely feeling it on my run today.

I did 3 miles with the team this morning.  We ran to the waterfall in North Fork park and then climbed up it just for fun. Later tonight I did a 6 mile run with Sam on a part of the Canal Road  have never been on before.

I ran 4 miles this morning and was planning on doing 4 more tonight. Around 4:30 Addison called me and told me a runner on his Ragnar team was hurt and couldn't run. So I took his place got to run Ragnar after all!!! I did the 4 tonight and it was all up hill and hot, so it kinda sucked.

Who would have thought that 8 miles at 4 in the morning would be fun, but it was. Started off wondering if I was lost because us and the ultramarathon team were so far ahead. I came over a hill and saw a light it the distance, so that was a miracle. At this gate by the light I got stopped along with the ultramarathon runner and we had to wait because the volunteers did not know where we needed to go... So that was fun, but once we got going again me and the ultramarathon runner stuck together for the most part and talked and had a good time, it would have been extremely boring and creepy if he was not there because we were on random trails with possible rattle snakes. It was a perfect time to be running and the temperature was great. It was really fun to talk to the ultramarathon runner, who's name is Jeremy. We finished our leg together. Them me and my team cheered and rested then went to party at the finish. It was a really cool experience because we were the first team to cross the finish line. I will definitely be running there again next year.

I did 6 this morning with the team. Did most of it with Addison, and for both of us recovering from Ragnar we did pretty good! Later tonight I did 3.25 with Jake.

Did 7 miles with Jake this morning. The first 2.5 were like straight up hill then we got on a trail. It was a really fun ran and was a good change from the normal routes.

Did 8 miles with Jake this morning. We just ran around and freestyled our run until we hit 8. It was hard, but not to bad. It is much funner to be with people on long runs who can push you and help you stay on pace.

I did 4 miles this morning with the team up the Ben Lomond switchbacks. Going up was slow and painful, but going down I went quite alot faster. I texted Talon a bit which was fun, I also went to the temple. I did 3.5 later tonight in Manti.

I did 4 miles this morning in Manti before driving home. I got like 2 hours of sleep last night because I was in a sleeping bag on the ground, but i averaged a good pace and was able to run around Snow College and on their track.  Later tonight I ran 3.75 with Jake. we did the Pleasant View 5k course and mapped it out for tomorrow. We did some strides after we finished.

Raced this morning, I was kinda nervous because its the first 5k race I've done for a while so I did not know what to expect.  I started out strong and my first mile was a 6:03.9, I trying to keep with Jake and Addison so i started out faster than I thought i was going to.  My second mile was a 6:06.0 I did most of this mile with McKenna because I did not want to lose to a girl... She picked it up around mile 2.  I did the 3rd mile in 6:42.0, that is the one that killed my time. Going up 500 hurt worse than it should have, and I just wasn't feeling it. Cooled down after by running to my house. Later tonight me and Addison did another 4.

I did 5 this morning with the team, on the way there I stuck with Paul, Nate, and Jake. It was nice and we had a good time, there was a lot of hills. Later tonight I did 3.75 with Jake and henry biked next to us. Hopefully Henry gets good news and is able to run again.  We went at a good pace.

Did 5 this morning, Levi ran with me and Jake for the first 3 and me and Jake finished it off with doing 2 more. Later tonight I did 3 more miles with Jake, he was really feeling it and hauled the whole way, I was trying as hard as I could to keep up because I had Pizza Pie for dinner and felt like death.  We averaged sub-7, it was good that he was there to push me.
