Four miles in the evening, my life continues to be hectic and thus the blog suffers. Sadness.

In the morning did two loops of sugarhouse.

 

In the evening I put on my flats and did 10miles hard. I felt like I was flying with very little effort. However my pace didn't come out to being very fast. It might have been something to do with running on a cold evening, but I still ran 47seconds a mile faster than the last time I did this (6:03vs 6:50), so maybe this is a tough course. I'll have to use the course tool to find out.

Just a regular premeet run. My legs felt great so I kept the pace fast to keep myself fresh.

I actually felt pretty good today and so I was a little disappointed that my time wasn't much faster than previous attempts this semester. Someone informed me afterwards that the course was .1 long (i.e. 31 seconds) but I measured it with google to be 3.12.

The course was two loops around wheeler farm. I went straight to the front and was followed closely by Josh Steffen. After about 1 kilometer he moved to the front and started putting the hurt on my. We both went through the mile just under 5 mins (it was the low point of the course). On the subsequent uphill he put 60-70 meters on me. He maintained that lead all the way to the end. We were both slowed down quite a bit in the second loop as we had to go around walkers with dogs (who were explicitly told not to take up the entire path but did anyway). I didn't mind as he seemed to have just as much trouble as me. In the end, he stayed away to beat me by 16 seconds. In the past he has dusted me by almost a minute in 5ks, but he wasn't pushed by anyone today once he dropped me so its difficult to say what that means.

 

I didn't feel tired at all really after the race. In the evening I decided to hammer out an 8.5 miler in the mountains (very silly).
