The Renegade

Met Jack and Paul and we jogged a half mile upstairs, then went and lifted. We don't usually lift before we run but Jack had to so we decided to do it with him. It sucked because the half mile wasn't enough to warm me up all the way, so I kept cramping up. I think I'll stick to lifting after for now on. Then Paul and I went on our run and neither of us felt very good, so we just kind of went with the flow. Wasn't too cold so that was nice. We ran up to Denzil Stuart then turned south into Providence did Death (eck) Hill for some crazy reason then ran back. My foot was hurting a bit the whole time, hope I don't gotta hop on an elliptical at all this week, but I might cuz I'm excited to run on Saturday at USU. Avg. pace 7:51.

*Just a little test, comment something if youre reading this, it'll be fun to see the reach of these, just comment even if your reading it years from now lol

12x200 @ mile pace w/ 200 jog/1:30 rest. Lost the splits but I was probably around 35 for an average. I started off thinking that I was supposed to be at a 34, but then I realized that was four thirty something pace so I can tone it down to 36s. Felt not smooth at all, my left leg feels way weaker than my right, including the glutes, so yeah didn't feel smooth. Hopefully it'll just be a daytoday thing. Then 4x150. 150s were all around 21-22. Some lady walking by was like "doesn't it bother you to run in this dirty air" and I was like "no I don't really notice it" and I thought she was just light hearted but all she said was "it's so dirty" as she walked away. Like she knows anything about being a dedicated high school track runner. Lol. No disrespect sort of. My foot hurt more towards the end of the workout so I didn't get a cooldown in.

Worst/most hard core workout I've ever done. In a deck of playing cards, every symbol means a different excercise, and the number is how many times you do it. Except the aces are an entire big ten, the queens are a 2:30 wall sit, and I don't remember what the Jack and King were but something like that. I got through half a deck, and then I physically couldn't do the excersises any more. I discovered truly how bad I am at sit-ups. But yeah after half a deck I couldn't do anything if I tried, I was like sprawled out on the floor. Even Anna got further than me! And Jack too but he started at 4 in the big tens. It sucked not to run today but it was best for my foot, and honesty for once this was probably more beneficial than an easy run because I've really neglected my core. I'll probably do this once a week along with running and see how far I can get by the end of indoor. After all that I did another half mile upstairs with some 50m sprints thrown in there.

Pretty good day! I packed my workout clothes expecting to run on a treadmill, come to find out we were actually doing our workout outdoors, luckily I had brought sweats and a jacket, but that was it other than my galaxy shorts (shortest ever) and my a singlet. Practice started off with a little meeting in a classroom about the some bussiness including our FIRST MEET. So pumped man. Then we eventually left and ran to Ryan's Place Park for a threshold. Chatted with some missionaries while we warmed up, and they tried to get a visit with some of the nonLDS peeps with us, but it didn't work out too well. Anyways, back to the running, I eventually decided to strip all my warm stuff, so I was only wearing the shorts, singlet, and gloves, which actually felt fine. First we did the regualar three mile loop. Paul and I ran together the whole time, that was super great. We both felt pretty good, although I think he was pushing himself a little harder than me but that's fine. Splits were 6:25, 6:22, 6:13, which adds up to a 19 minute three mile, and the only other fastest time I ran here was an 18:57, so super good to know I'm still at my XC aerobic fitness, although it's not that fast compared to you guys who run 5:30-5:45 for tempo, I was pretty happy about it.  Waited a couple minutes then tagged on a 6:14 mile. Felt good. Paul is gonna kill it on Saturday! His mile pr is 5:45 and he was actually having doubts about breaking it, well screw those doubts, he's almost as fit as me, I predict he'll run somewhere around 5:10-5:20 just because he's not used to track yet and doesn't have spikes yet. Paul and I jogged back while Jack gave the girls (and Kalin) a frickin ride, like what the frick! My foot was hurting running back, but it's good that it only started then, didn't bother me during the workout.  Still sore from that killer core work yesterday! Thanks alot Hayden Hoglund

Easy 45 minutes at 7:38 pace up to the Dam and back, with Paul. The weather's great once you get running. Got back, laced up my spikes and then did 3x200- 35, 33, 31, so not too hard, then practiced some starts. So pumped

Lol so I wrote out a big long report yesteday that I actually enjoyed writing alot but then it didn't save so I'll keep it short this time. Ran a 5:02 mile, felt decent. Couple hours later ran a 2:12 800, 5:02 is 6 seconds off my PR so I was happy with that. Got my HobbyJogger shirt today #THEHJP #HobbyJoggerDomination those are our official hashtags, but the first one is the main one. Met some some cool runners today, made for a great meet. Lastly we ran the 4x4 and we took second to Weber, Isaac ran a 57 and we were just barely ahead of them, then Paul got the baton and ran a 65, that put us way back, but thats okay he just has no wheels he's a major distance guy whos still improving. Then I got it and ran a 60, I was expecting to run sub-60 but that's okay it was hard to run fast on this track and I was tired. Two weeks of hard training and then I'll race the 800 FRESH at Weber State.
