Adam's Running

We dos a slightly shorter discovery park loop today, but we did it pretty fast. Overall pace was 6:12 so that was a good time. First four miles were sub 6 average. Strength training after which wasn't too bad, but my triceps are a little sore. Stopped by AF today during lunch today and saw my sister, I feel like AF hates us a lot more than we hate them since we beat them in most stuff. The XC teams are an exception though of course, we're homies.

Ran in the morning today, it was kind of boring cuz we just ran on the roads of Alpine, but it was good to get done early and have the whole day open up after school. First speed workout tomorrow! It's only 4x2 minutes hard so I am looking forward to it.

First workout of the season today. We did 4x2 minutes on the canal during track class. Felt OK on the first two, and really good on the second two. Ran them with Jamison, Justin, and Craik and really just had a good time. Had strength training when we were done.

ran down to AF, did a lap on the grass relays gourse, then came back and did strides. Air quality was horrible but what can you do?

Great race today. Got to the oval at about 4:30 and chilled til we had to warm up. Warmed up for a couple miles, then went and got in our heats. They were only taking 4:25 guys in the fast heat, so I almost didn't get in but then Ryan pushed me over there. It ended up being a good thing cuz a few the guys who said they were 4:25 were definitely lying. Gun went off and I went straight to the back so I wouldn't have to fight people, then moved up once we hit the homestretch into like 5th. I just filed in behind Dallin Leatham and tried to hang on for as long as I could. First 400 was 64, so right about where I wanted to be, then 800 split was 2:10. At about 1k Dallin pulled ahead a bit and I could hear a couple guys coming up behind me so I just tried my best to hold them off for as long as I could. Hit 1200 in 3:18 and Camren Todd came past me. The last lap I just stayed right behind him then with 200 to go Jamison and Denver Perry came up with us and it was us four sprinting to the finish. I kind of got boxed in, so I ended up finishing in the back of our little pack but we were all within a second of each other so I was just happy I was still there at the end, and with a little speed I know I can be coming out on top. Ended up in 4:24 so a 5 second PR!! I havent really Pr'd in the mile since sophomore year so this was a perfect last race at the ice oval. very bittersweet. Afterwards we went to Cafe Rio and coaches paid for everyones food which was sweet.

Started running up Hogs until the snow got too deep, then we looped down to the park and went on 4 mile loop. Saw my friend Zac when we got back to the park. Felt tired from yesterday, and the last couple miles felt very sluggish.

Later snuck out and ran like 3 miles with Walton.
