Step by step, mile by mile

AM - 4.5 on the trails + 500m at tempo pace, 100 jog, 300 at around mile pace. Ran 1:41, 48.2. Both felt very easy, 64 second lap pace feels as easy as it did in my prime of last season. Ate a heavy breakfast and it was very warm out so that was fun. Gonna have a tough day tomorrow!

PM - swimming, running, and lifting. Very proactive day, hopefully it doesn't hinder me in my double workout tomorrow. Luckily I went to church today so I got the man upstairs on my side(hopefully). Getting pretty lean/strong up top.

AM - 5 w trevor. He wanted to try and go sub 6 in the mile so I paced him for that. We ran 5:32! What a man. Wanted to do more mile repeats but marching band appeared halfway through the second one so I had to go. 

PM - faster stuff with the man, the myth, the skeleton Brendon Merrell. Was originally going to do 9 or 10x300's but Brendon went jello legged after #3 so I did 5 so I wouldn't keep him too long. Went 48, 47, 44, 45, 43. 300 recovery. Kind of workout where after the first repeat you think "man that felt pretty hard", but the times go down despite the effort being about the same. S/O to Brendon for making a HARD push the last 50m of the third one. For doing nearly no running I'm surprised he went sub 45. I hope he has a good year at UVU.

AM - easy shakeout before driving up to SLC to get my car for the next 10 years or so(Toyota Corolla(a recent model too)).

PM - some strides in the new pegasi, shaking out the legs from an 8 hour car ride. Did 150, 200, 150, 300, 400, 100 in 25, 34, 24, 51, 68, 13. Besides the 100 they were all super easy.

AM - 3. Felt good from 11 hours of sleep, but was counteracted by the heat since I slept in. Last workout at altitude tonight! 

PM - spent a long time swimming with my younger sister so I was pretty tired. Did 3x800 and 2x400. Only times I remember were 2:19 for the first 800 and 62 for the last 400. Didn't hydrate well either. 2 miles later + lift w trevor.

AM - slow shakeout before leaving for college. Not sure if I'll have any time to do my second run since I'm driving all the way to Kansas today but I'll try.

PM - 2 miles was all I could squeeze in, last few minutes at 6 flat pace. OXYGEN

AM - 5 shaking out the 15 hour car ride yesterday. Definitely felt it those first couple miles. Ended with 2x(150,120) to loosen the legs a bit. Times were 22.2,  20.8, 16.5, 16.2. For the first time in an eternity I stretched after which I'm very proud of. I'm going to try and stretch before I blog my run just so I'll be obligated. Gonna get back on a good stretchin and hydrating schedule and hopefully I'll be better off for it(I don't see why not).
