10 miles, shortened carterville loop. Three strides. Once again, today I felt like I should have been tired but wasn’t. I feel blessed.

It was just me and Josh at the workout this morning. It was cold when we started but thankfully the sun came up quickly. Just 4 by 2. It’s really hard to tell with 200s how well you did. I didn’t run anything scorching fast, but not was it a dead out sprint effort either. 27, 27, 26, 27. 

Ran with Josh this morning. Hope things go well tomorrow!

And that's a wrap to the season. Ran a 1:55.6 in the 800 at our time trial. Went through halfway in 55. I was bummed to see that only converted to a 1:55.1 at sea level. With competition and a better track maybe I have a 1:53 in me but probably no faster than that. Now it's time for XC TRAINING!!!!!! I'm kind of excited because even though your improvement is still out of your hands, I feel like there is more you can do to influence how good you will be in distance running than in mile/800 stuff. I don't think I will be breaking 1:47 anytime soon, but running a 13:45 5K next year? I can see that. 

7 easy miles with Josh.

7 miles alone. I haven’t been sleeping the best. Idk why. I must have been very restless last night or something because somehow one of my blankets ended up falling off my bed. 

7 miles with Josh

10 miles, left Achilles actually itched a bit. That’s not good. It shouldn’t be happening with this little impact, hopefully it goes away. I can’t wait to start running more. I just don’t have that awesome feeling you get after running 17 miles on a Saturday morning, you know? 

Starting to run a little longer. Nice warm evening on the river trail. I ran twice by a very friendly guy. Some people don’t like talking or acknowledging you whatsoever, but I need to still be friendly because it means a lot to some of us! Still a little scratchy in the Achilles.

Yay! I finally figured out my sleep problem. 9 miles this morning with Josh. Strength. 

8 miles today after the bike tune-up

9 miles with Josh. 

Run in the rain with Josh 

12 miles with Josh on Geneva. Surprisingly it felt pretty easy to talk even when we were going 6:10-6:20 pace the second half. That was nice.

Last night I got engaged! In hindsight, I am not sure why I told Josh I would be ready to run at 7:40. I didn't get to bed until about 12:40 haha. SO WORTH IT.

New run with Josh. We sort of got lost and ended up having a good time anyway.

Still feel a little tired each day. I even yawn when we stop. It’s weird because last night I got over eight hours of sleep. Maybe if I am more consistent with sleep it’ll be better.

Carterville with Josh. Did strides afterward! Used Bryce’s weights for back stuff.

Pretty tough run up on Bonneville shoreline. 

Nice run with josh. The sun was already up. We ran to Murdock canal trail. I got tired on the way back, maybe because I’m not used to this much mileage in 24 hours (having run yesterday afternoon) and maybe because I was dehydrated. Felt good other than that though. 6:30s.

AM: 10 miles. The river trail is really nice right now. 

PM: 5 miles. Just kind of slogged through it. I’m not used to doubling yet. 

10 miles with Josh. Strides.

Felt good today. Ran with Josh and Conner was there for the first part. 

Ten miles, strides. Weights felt good at Lib square. Gotta take care of this plantar fasciitis.

It might just be me, but I feel like I am starting to get back into the flow a little more. The same can't be said for my side planks. I need to do those more often. No plantar pain which was good.
