Train insane or remain the same

1 mile around the track, then 8 mile loop by thanksgiving point, 1 mile around the track. Felt good to get a long distance run in since we've been low mileage for a while. 

2 mile warm up around the track backwards. Then did 6x500's with the first 400 @ 5k pace and pick it up the last 100 w 2 minutes rest in between. My 400 splits were 72,71,71,71,70,68. It was a fun workout and we got it done quick. 3.25 cooldown then 1.75 barefoot around the turf. 

Met up with some of the guys. Ran the whole thing with Asa. Killers and then up the dip and then back towards the overpass and added a lil on state street. We came up with this sick run called The Figure 8 of Death and we are going to do it Saturday. It gets the 5 largest hills in Lehi. Went and partied with Jackie and Adela who are in town. 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Ran the Thankful 13 for the third year in a row. It's a well ran 5k with some good food afterwards. I knew Collin would be there but Kobe, Tanner, and Brecken showed up. And we saw Teddy T! Warmed up 3.75.  There wee a bunch of 8 year olds right on the front of the line so I almost trampled a few and had to weave a bunch in the first little while. Found Collin and ran together for the next 2 miles. Hit 5:28 the first mile and then just wanted to keep that, hit 5:33. At 2 miles I moved into the lead, passing Matt Paulsen, and this teenager who was probably putting too much effort into the first two miles of the race. Matt Paulsen is in Matt Todds ward so he told us how dope he was. He won the AF canyon half 2 years ago in 1:07 and kills the marathon too so shout out to him.  Haha he's not in shape for 5k or we woulda won. Well I moved into the lead and gapped Matt and Collin and finished in 16:39. Turned around and saw Collin out kick Matt with a 16:47 or something like that. A lot more fun than the pick ups we would have had. Cool down to 9. Then stood around, got freezing cold, at some pumpkin spice things and got my Medal, Turkey, and more pumpkin spice treats for winning. Fun times with the gang. I'm gonna eat my weight in food today 

AM: Easy 4 towards Willowcreek. Was gonna go more but I brought my shortest shorts and it was really cold so I wimped out and turned around early.

PM: 5 on redwood at 6:47 avg 

Met up with Collin, Michael, Asa and Chicken Nugget for a run in the beautiful snow we got over the night. Me and Nug ran to the temple so we could hit 10, the other guys went out 3. Coming back we were going 6:30 and Nug was hauling and I was struggling to keep up. After we came over to my house and had waffles and played some ping pong.
