pm- (7.45 miles/ 50 min total; 15min warm then 5x100 striders, then 15-20min tempo @ 5Kpace+30 to 45sec/mile). Great workout.

am- (12.91 miles/ 90 min Aerobic Run w/ 2,1,3,2,1,2min pick-ups w/ 5min rec between reps during final miles). Epic run up at Alpine. I did an out and back going from my cousins house onto Alpine Drive or road and out for the longest time. It was fun, I was cruising on the run. Good stuff, I now love Alpine and Lone Peak area, it feels soo nice weather wise and the mountain right there is pretty sick.

am- (3.32 miles/ 25 min E). Nice chill tradional morning route.

pm- (7.21 miles/ Murray Invite, 15 min warm, race, cool to time). What a race. I did alright, I know there was much better to come from me though. I got a bad start and then I tried to go but things just werent rolling for me. I finished well though, held off Josh from LP and some kid in a black jersey who I wanted to punch soooo freaking bad. He cut me off sooo many times. My time was 15:00.2 which was great, but not best. Good run for the team, Cars killed it, 14th. and our 2,3,4 were almost in a row. Just gotta bring up the 5 and move that pack up. Idk what the real distance of the race was though, they annouced 2.85 but I had GPS'd it and got 2.93 so whatever.

Total Distance

am- (2 miles/ 15 min E with weights). Good stuff, I am squating so beastly.

 

pm- (8 miles/ 55 min total; 15min warm then 5x100 striders, Dual in the Desert, then 3x600 @ 5Kpace,-3sec,-6sec w/ equal rec, cool to time). Well today was a big day for me. So we did the warm up, and then I went to Coach with the team and he was like "hey Dhills varsity isnt here since they are doing a workout tonight so just go try something you've never done before. So I decided I was gonna beast, and I also wanted to break that school record for the 2 mile course which was 10:13 by Nick last year. So we start and Carson, Mitch and I go out together with everyone close behind. We got to the bottom of the park at the turn and Cars pulled ahead and that was when I was like "I gotta go, no ragrets today!" I went up with, and then at like .8 into the race I took the lead and just got into the zone and I was gone. I came by the mile at 5:09 and so I was like crap I gotta go. Surged down the course, pushed good going up. Last 500 meters was a struggle, I was pooped. I finished the last 200 well though, and Jaiden M was right there and we talked, he had me at 10:15. That was sad. So close. So I talk to Coach, how I actually ran with guts today. Then Mitch comes up and my offical time was 10:02.7!!! SO epic. I was pumped. So my second mile was 4:53. So good. I am pretty happy rn.

am- 3.27 miles/ 25 min E with plyos. Good morning run, I was like 10 seconds late. So embarrassing, I have never been late to morning practice this year.

pm- 7.39 miles/ 60 min E. Epic run today. haha so Alex forgot running shorts and today he just happened to dress up for Medical anatomy. So we ran out to his out to meet up with him. Then we ran through the desert and went up this gnarly sand hill and we wished we had a GoPro cause the landscape was beautiful, like a Bavis Dabe girl I know;) Then we ran over to the Boilers and swam for like 5 minutes and I did the rope swing. So epic. Nice run.

am- (2 miles/ 15 min E with weights). Good stuff, I am squating even more beastly.

pm- (8.24 miles/ 55 min E with striders). Nice chill run, we went down to the Car & Dog Wash to check out how we are going to run things this weekend for our fundraiser. Had some "game on" with a bottle. We got pretty far but after so many kicks the bottle died. Good times:)

am- (3.28 miles/ 25 min E). Nice chill stuff, it felt great this morning.

pm- (7.95 miles/ 57 min total; 15min warm then 5x100 striders, then 3x1600@ 5Kpace w/ equal rec, 10min cool). Rough workout at the Dirt Mile. We did 3xmiles @ 5K pace, so 5:07. Our first was 5:08 so that was aight. Then we ran a 5:13 so that was bad. And the last me and Cars went after it the last 400, but I had fallen off during the 3/4 mile stuff, so I finished with a 5:08 again. Hard workout, but worth it.
