Adam's Running

Biked 33 miles today with my sister and dad. We went up to Bridal Veil falls and back. We were mostly on the canal, and when we got up to the falls I went another mile and a half up the canyon so I could go fast coming down the canyon before I caught back up.

5x800 today. Really windy as usual so Zack, Jamison, and I switched off leading. Times were about 2:20, 2:20, 2:23, 2:24, 2:25. Last one was really rough for some reason, but overall a good workout. I'm running the mile at UVU on Saturday which should be fun.

Modest run today with strides on the football field after. Later I did a few miles on my own, but had to cut it short because I ate too much too soon before I ran.

Ran backwoods Bonneville backwards today. We got back in time to watch the mile at the Westlake dual meet which was fun, Craik won with a blistering final 200. We had to stay til the end to clean up, so Jamison and I through a mini shot and high jumped to pass the time. I found I can clear a taller height by diving over than by jumping backwards.

Had a pretty easy workout today. It was only 8x400, and it was pretty nice weather, which made for a fun time. I hit 65-67 on all of them and it felt really smooth and controlled. It turns out I'm also running the 800 on Saturday which should be a good time.

Drove up to Alpine and did 5 mile loop plus some extra with strides once we got back.

Had UVU today. The mile was first, and it was almost awesome, but kind of left me disappointed. The first lap went out slow and I came through in 68, everybody picked up the pace after that and we came through the 800 in 2:13. The third lap I kind of lost the main pack but still came through in 3:22 and was ready to throw down a 64 or something and PR. Sadly with 250 to go I started cramping up in my right leg and I only ended up running a 70 last lap and didnt PR. Oh well. Later I had the 800. I pretty much just started out in last and tried to hang on for dear life at the back of the pack. We came through in a 61 and I actually passed two guys coming around the turn, but with 200 to go I didn't have anything left in my legs and they passed me back and I brought it home in last place. I still ran a PR of 2:05 though, which was the first PR for me this season.
