Adam's Running

Today we had an hour long distance run as usual. We made a big loop down to Discovery Park and back. AF was there when we got to the park so we stopped and talked to them for a while. We are starting early morning weights on Wednesday, so that should be lots fun!

Today we had 3x1 mile repeats over on the seminary field. I like this workout because you can just kind of settle in and go with the flow. Lil' Warner and I hit 5:10, 5:09, 5:05.

Later did 3.5 by myself. The moon was doing this funky thing with the clouds that created a full circle rainbow around it. It was most excellent.

Recovery with some handball down at Art Dye park.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 fartlek on the canal. Felt good while I was running fast, but when we were running inbetween fast parts my stomach felt like crap. We did the 1 minute interval FAST.

Ran up to Alpine and did aviary backwards, then headed up to the mouth of the canyon and back to the school. All the underclassmen disappeared early in the run, so it was just Jamison and I for the last six or so miles. When we got back we did some strides on the practice field.

Slept through practice, so I did my long run later with my dad on the bike. We drove down to Provo to do it on the Provo river trail for a little change of scenery. I started and felt REALLY good, so I decided to turn into a progression run. Mile splits were:

6:52

6:24

6:18

6:14

6:12

6:05

6:02

5:54

5:50

5:44

5:17

Overall an awesome run, and gave me confidence for these next couple races. I felt very controlled throughout the whole run, and it was fun to run fast.
