The Renegade

Afternoon workout with Logan! They were doing mile reps at Willow Park. I thought I was just going to run with Kalin and Paul and then do some extra, but they both ran earlier, so I ran with  a freshman for the first one then sped it up. I did 5 reps in 6:12, 6:08, 5:56, 5:48, 5:49. Afterwards I felt like I could do a few more. It was hot but for some reason the heat didn't really get to me. Making good progress!

Ran with Logan in their afternoon practice. They were doing hill repeats by the dugway. It was very hot. The distance was 300-400m, medium grade.I think we did 4 of them. After that I did a longer cooldown with Paul. Felt just like old times. 

Met Strand at the mouth of BSF and we drove up to the hydro park (he's running TOU on Saturday and wanted to do a workout on the course). Warmed up half a mile and then I got a few minutes head start. It was my plan to just hold 6 minutes pace for 6 miles down, and when I started I could tell it would be harder than the freedom run, and it was but I was able to average 5:49 for 10K. Pace felt relatively comfortable until the last mile, and even then it wasn't that bad. I matched my time from DesNews lol. My toe hurt before I started but faded off. At about 4 miles Strand caught up to me and I hung with him for maybe half a mile but I couldn't keep up with his cadence so I dropped back. Afterwards my toe hurt so no cooldown. 

Evening/Night run on the Deer Fence, from Prov. I ran a mile up the trail without a headlamp and realized I was gonna need one so turned around and got it. Sadly, it still didn't help much and I had to run extremely cautiously and slow, so I turned around early and settled for 5.5. On the bright side, I got some true recovery in :) Was going to run two miles when I got home but wasn't very motivated. 

After my class got out I headed to Logan Canyon for a run. I felt really tired and my legs felt like they were filled with lead. I hope that I won't feel like that after every day of school, or college is not going to be pleasant. Started at first dam and turned around after 4 miles, on the more flat route. My pace surprisingly was a 7:13. It was hot.

In the evening I drove up to Lundstrom to do an interval workout, 1 minute hard, 1 minute easy, for an hour. Warming up I did not feel good. I was planning on staying in the park, but after the first lap I got bored and didn't like the instability of the grass so I hit the road and ran out on 1600 East into Hyde Park then turned around. The pushed ranged anywhere from 5:20 to 5:40 pace throughout, being faster during the first half. I started to feel it after about 40 minutes, but after 50 it was easier knowing I was almost done and could just push it. I had music the whole time so mabe that helped. I got 9.1 miles for 6:33 ap. Cooled down a mile.
