The Renegade

I geuss this is a little far for a Monday, but it'll all balance out. At first I ran 40 min in 7th hour with Johnny, just a loop around River Heights. I didn't get a chance to stretch, but I still felt pretty good. Then I had to atlk to a teacher, and after I saw Mark and told him to hold up, so I went out 15 with him and then turned around. He was running ten miles too, so it feels weird to be running as much him in a day. On the way back I got pretty tired and was just muscling through it. Finally I did 2x200m with 200m jogs, both 32s.

Really fun/interesting workout today. In seventh hour I warmed up with Johnny for a mile. Then when teh rest of the people showed up we ran to teh canal trail to do some 800s. The trail was in terrible condition (mud, puddles, etc.) And pretty soon I just stopped trying to avoid it. It was fun though, and it was like I was running NXN. I felt pretty good during them. We did 5 with 90 second rests. I ran them in 3:02, 3:03, 3:09, 3:02, 3:03. So the average was less slower than normal but what we were running on slowed us down a ton compared to a track. And they were pretty consistent besides #3. Then I ended up tacking on some extra mileage because Layne I forgot to pick up the cones on the way back. After that we ran back down canyon road and did 4x100m on the old road by the dugway, and those were pretty tough. When we got back to the school we did hip drills and lifting, but I just wasn't feeling super into it. Finally I jogged 800m on the track while I waited for my ride. My hip flexors are pretty sore, so I hope I can get that out of the way soon.

Today we ran the river trail loop, and I wan't feeling super good, but I was able to go at a pace of my choice since I was basically leading everyone but Mark. It was rainy, but not really cold, so that was nice. When we got back I tried to do some strides but it brought out my hip flexor pain and I felt a twinge in my knee, so I had to stop that. We then did some hurdle mobility and hip drills, and that stretched it out just a little bit. Then we went into the training room to have my hip and Mark's calf looked at but the main trainer wasn't there, so I didn't get a good analysis.

Good day. I did the temple hill workout again with Zair, and I didn't feel any pain in my hips whatsoever. I did take an Ibuprofen, but I don't think it would have affected it as greatly as that. The workout felt better than it did last time too. My times (200m uphill w/ 2:30 rest):

It didn't feel as hard this time like I said, but it was still pretty intense and I was goin H.A.M. if you know what I'm sayin. I think on the first one I just wasn't completley warmed up. After that we did a little longer cooldown and then ran another mile on the infield. Then I did a tiny bit of weights. 

Good run today. I ran a mile and a half with Mark while we waited for Coach to come, and then we left. The pace felt pretty quick for me going up to Old Maine but then we went downhill and it felt nice. We ran a loop around the XC course and then headed back up and over Old Maine just the way we came. I felt pretty good. We then did 2x200m (~31, 31), and that was it for us. My hip didn't hirt really I just felt a slight ache after the strides.

Today I was in Bountiful, and Bountiful is really hilly, so I thought I might as well do a hilly run, so I ran up this road to another road which took me to the temple, which was a pretty run, but it was a tough climb. On the way back down I went pretty hard for a couple of miles or so, probably a sub-6 at one point. I just hope it didn't put to much stress on my body. Then I took a stop at the high school and did a couple of strides before I went back to my grandma's house.
