Train insane or remain the same

Got out later than usual cuz I was watching First Take and Sportscenter still freaking out over how the Cavs came back from 3-1. Never doubt my boy King James #goat 

Started at the high school and ran up airport to freedom and over to the Timp Highway and back. Shout out to the little girls at the lemonade stand for trusting me when I said I would come back with money to pay for my lemonade. It was 98 and I was a little hot. I caught them just as they were packing up. Started out nice and slow but loosened up nicely and had some 6:45's the last half. Finished of with 2x200 in 31 and 29. 

AM: Hiked Squaw Peak in Rock Canyon with Amelia. Counting it as 3 miles.  

PM: Did a quick night run with Asa, Zack, and Brady before basketball. Threw down a couple rim grabs, blocked Brinn and Brady, usual stuff. Played with some old guys, they were ballers tho so shout out to them and to Luke Johnston for showing up. Counting basketball for 2 miles. 

Was gonna do some 4's and 2's with Asa but he slept in so I went and did the "hill" workout with the boys in the cemetery. It was 100,200,300,400,300,200,100. Went and did a mile on the groval then cooled some more with dalpal. 7 for the day. 

Then biked 20 on the mct with the twins and salt boy. Collin went farther tho. It was a good time. Michael is currently rolling me out and doing a grand job. 

Went over to Willowcreek to run and realized I had forgot my watch. Ran on the Jordan River trail and turned back where I have before so I checked my blog and it was 7 which is what I would have guessed it was. Avg pace felt like 7:05. Nice chill run. Shout out to me for getting over 110 favs on Twitter. 

Shout out to Weber State's Joel Bolomboy for getting drafted by the Utah Jazz! They also drafted Marcus Paige from UNC! Jazz games are gonna be so hyped. 

Drove over to Art Dye park and picked up my packet for the AF canyon 10k tomorrow. Got myself a free snow cone (tigers blood) and then went and ran the first part and last part of the course. 4 total. It's gradual uphill for the first mile mile and a half then flat til the last half mile where you have downhill into the park. Time goal is as close to 34 as possible. Place goal is top 3, we'll see how many top guys choose the half and how many choose the 10k. 

AF Canyon 10k this morning but it turned into a progression tempo. Did a 3.25 mile warm up. Was feeling good. Got in two semi strides. Race started and I quickly realized there wasn't that much competition. Gabe Prettypaint came up on my side and we talked for a little bit. He lead the first mile and I decided to just sit in the pack. It felt like a distance run and was 6:17 on my watch. Where their mile mark was posted was .92 on my watch and it got gradually farther from the mile. Took the lead after the mile. My dad and Bennett were on their run and came over to the course and gave me a high five. 6:08,5:54,5:43,5:27. Started working harder. With a mile to go we connected with the 5k runners so I had to weave a tiny bit but it gave me someone to run by and try to get kills. Last mile was a 5:08. Had a lot left in the tank when I came in. I was rocking the Lehi jersey #lod so people still know Lehi kills it.

Time was 34:54 for 6.08 on my watch. Second place was a 30 year old with a 36:03 and third place was a kid who moved here from Cali last year and ran for Westlake for one year before graduating and he got 37:20. 1st place won an over night hotel stay/movie tickets and second and third got $100 gift cards to Altra. I'm giving the hotel stay to my parents and they are gonna buy me a pair of shoes. Talked to Sean Hagert who ran the half. He is a stud. He beat his time from last year by over two minutes and they made the course harder. He got third and 1:14:54, his first 10k wasn't that much slower than mine but it was very downhill. Matt Paulsen got second in 1:11. Emily Barrett (Chicken Nuggets sis) got second in the half off not much training after resting from her win in the Ogden Marathon. Did a 3.5 mile cool down with her afterward. 

PM: Did a night run with Spencer and Zack. We ran by the rodeo grounds and used stopped at Asa's house and talked with his mom. Found a tennis ball and we were throwing it around for the remainder of the run and it was sick. Came back, added on a little then went on main. Then did a mile and a half barefoot on the turf for 5.5 for the run and 18.25 for the day
