Progression Daily

Didn’t know which route I was going to take. Just ran. Just 2,995 miles to go for the year. 5.29 miles 

Mixed with different groups during a Fartlek workout. A lot of steady with top boys. A little Jeric and B Dawg. 5.49 miles 

Tried keeping up with the boys into Washington. Felt sluggish. 4.35 miles 

Run down to the river with the boys. Did my best to keep up on the striders. 5.63 miles 

Hadn’t run with the girls since last year (Elle joke). Went out to AC and turned it into a loop. 4.16 miles 

Ran to my parents to retrieve my car. Glad I had a destination and a time constraint to make sure I got out the door. I tried to find one of the quickest routes. Have a hard time running fast when I’m cold. 8.13 miles 

Went out for the snow and eventual found cold wind. Still a good time. 4.2

ELK HUNTING

Added on my own before catching up with the team in Mustang Pass. Kids were zooming (or I’m just slow). 6.8 miles

Cruising the hills with the girls. 6.63 miles 

Ran from parents and met up with the tribe. Ran out to AC and back. Stride progression afterwards. 5.52 miles 

Slow jog back and forth as Marieta and Trey walked. 5.06 miles 

Ran the long way home from Temple Quarry. Best run I’ve had in a long time. I was able to find a really good rhythm and just go on cruise control. Gotta love the Saturday runs to restore some faith in my running. Also love the Kinvara Pros. 12 miles 

Hurricane Rim 

Got a little in before meeting up with the team on the trail. I kept getting rocks in my loose shoes and struggled to find a rhythm especially on the climbs. I pursued the top group of guys. Maybe I should’ve dropped back to the girls. Always an enjoyable run. 9.23 miles 

Green Springs 

Caught up with Jason and ran with the boys. Hit stride progression on the track and finished up with the girls. 5.76 miles 

Warm with girls. 4x4 min 5k pace with 3 minute recovery. Jumped in with Varsity, Laney’s crew, Ali’i’s crew, and back to varsity. Felt pretty fresh. 6.01 miles 

Fun run with the boys until I got attacked by bees. Marlar’s revenge! 5.38 miles 

Ran while Marieta and T-Bone walked. Did 14x1 minute pick ups just to feel something. 4.77 miles 

Bloomington Hills+ 

Ran random roads to keep things interesting.  Added 6x400, 6x800, and 7x400 with 400 recovery between. Tried to stay between 6:40-7:00 when I was on an interval. Hit a wall around 10 miles as soon as I hit some sand. Got a little rain towards the end. 12.71 miles 

Enjoyed some rain. Kettlebell workout afterwards. 2.56 miles 

Run from Ross’s to the school then up to Dixie Rock. Ended up with the freshman gang. Fun crew hitting some fast times. Circled back for the girls. Then back to Ross’s to retrieve my car. Beautiful weather! 10.53 miles 

Washington 

Chill run into Washington with the girls. I didn’t pack any running shoes so I wore some old Hokas found in Ross’s garage. 4.4 miles 

Fog

AM- First weekday morning run in a while. Navigating the fog with the boys. 3.22 miles 

PM- Jumped in with Miles and da boys, then with Samantha, and fast lap with Kyler, Daddy T, and Carson. My shin hurt so I took a couple of ice hits from Porter. Mixed in with Laney and cool with girls. 6.28 miles 

Middleton

Snuck in some random sections before meeting up with the team. Ran with the boys until the main drag then with the girls from there. Perfect weather conditions made for a fun run. 8.73 miles 

Slow run in the desert. Right foot was kind of hurting, slowed me down. Stopped my watch on some of the views and forgot to start. So probably add .3 to the distance. 7.87 miles 

AM- Ran with Ross down by the river. Had some Canadian geese staring down at us from the cliff tops. Ran 91 for the 2nd half of the run and ran part of the Sun Marathon course. 7.08 miles 

AM2- Ran home from Buck’s Ace. Hit my 10 mile wall again. 5.34 miles 

I struggled early and on the hill climbs. My left shin and right foot are bugging. I tried to cut through some neighborhoods to catch up with the top group of boys but only ran into dead ends an angry Dalmatian. Ran into Jeric and Jaxon. Great group and we moved pretty well. Ran with the Williams’ and Kate for a minute. Then by the new Maverik regrouped with some boys. Ended the run with Holt, Laney, and Katie. 10.17 miles
