Garek B Running

So Tomy, Chris, Bill, and I drove up to Jeremy Ranch road with the orginal plan of 10 miles. However the trail was extremely icy so we only went 4 out and then 4 back. But once we got to the cars we added another 2 miles on the road so we still got ten. Then in the afternoon a friend and I ran down to liberty and did 3 laps then ran back. So we got 5. Good first day of whats going to be a great week!

Ran 5 along Wastach out towards Parleys. Then when I turned around I ran back on Foothill.

Started at East and ran up emigration canyon until I hit 6 then ran back to the school. It was a cold run!!

Drove out to the Oval to do 5x1000. Ran 2 miles warm-up then 1 mile of speed changes. Then switched shoes. Jogged another lap to loosen up then started the workout. Coach wanted me right around 2:55 but I ended up going 2:50, 2:50, 2:52, 2:52, and 2:52. Felt really good to do some faster stuff.  After each 1000 we would jog a full lap then jog to the start as recovery. Then we changed shoes and jogged cool down until we reached 12.

Ran 3 in the morning. 

In the afternoon we ran around the VA to the cemetery by the U and then did 1 lap then 5 hill strides then another lap then another 5 hill strides then ran back. Didnt have to add to 10 we hit it perfectly!!

Woke up and felt really sick so I didnt do my morning run, then as the morning went on I got even more miserable and decided to stay home from school. Still went to afternoon workout! We ran down 13th to Sugarhouse Park and did 40 minutes of fartlek. I was able to get 7 miles right as my 40 minutes ran up so I was happy with the workout. Miles 2, 3, and 4 were rough but then I started feeling better so I pushed through.

Ran up 9th until we reached Wasatch then ran along there until Thunderbird. Ran back along Foothill untill 13th then down 13th to 19th then down 19 to 9th and then back to the school. Legs felt really tired but still a good run.

Got to the race just before it started so only got 1 mile warmup. Then there was some confusion and we stood around for a bit before the race started. I treated this race as a tempo so it was a really good workout. Cooled down until I got 10.5. The race was right by Utah Lake and Bill and Sarah did a polar plunge but I felt sick so I skipped it.
