Progression Daily

Just running around while kids did prerace. Nothing special. 4.61 miles 

Ran from Snow Canyon High up to Harmons and looped back through Sanra Clara. Added minutes with girls, JV, and varsity boys. 12.66 miles 

Bender's Caviar. Extra warm. Survivor talk with the gang. Still waiting on my call from Jeff. Ran well but was seeing spots towards the end. GLAD I ENDED THE RUN HOW I FINISH EVERY MARATHON. 7.22 miles 

A little on my own then with team and coach laps. 6.15 miles 

Decided to run up from the Falls Park to turn on my speaker for my sub. Tripped on an electrical box that was barely sticking out of the ground. You can see by my first couple of miles I was shuffling. Ran some coach laps with Mama W. Then got the band together towards Wal-Mart. Extended to Hell Hole with David and back to the car. Feeling good while also feeling crappy. 9.54 miles 

SICK

AM- The Art of Moving the Legs. No lungs, just kept shuffling. Flipped with the most positive girls on the team. Added some minutes on my own up Leeds Reef. Added another 10ish minutes with Kaelynn and Emmalee. Probably could’ve taken another day off due to sickness but glad I struggled through this run. That’s how I get healthy anyways. 7.34 miles 

PM- D-Rock 7. First double in a while. Ran wal-mart + bloomington loop. Started out decent and just felt worse every mile. Barely made it to the finish without having some Trevor Thompson @Murray problems. Saw Metler after the run. 7.28 miles 

AM- Warm up with girls then coach laps with Kaelynn, David, and Coach Jaggi. 6.61 miles 

PM- Ran to a park and tried to do some stupid strava art for Run Culture. 3.46 miles  

Travel day, hoped my lungs would strengthen with a day off. 

Lehi to Saratoga. Ended up getting close to the temple unintentionally. Ran the 3x8:00 @7:00 min pace workout recommended from my watch. Felt good other than hernia coughs slowing me down. 12 miles 

Went towards all the closed roads. Nothing crazy and too early for good wildlife. 6.84 miles 

Shaved off a mile or two by driving to the closed gates. Got to the Mormon Trailhead and remembered I don’t like this trail too much. Just slow creek following uphill. Today was covered in snow and super slippery. Pulled the knife out when I heard something growl behind me. Once I finally peaked out I couldn’t fully bomb down 65 because the turns were covered in snow and ice too. Still really enjoyed the run/slow hike. Saw some deer. Saw some elk and moose tracks. Even got snowed on for the last couple of miles. 14.26 miles 

Down to the river with Nathan, Miles, Ian, Tayson, Mikiah, and Gubs. Saw Bender maybe playing Spike Ball. Added with some preracers and a little on my own. 6 miles

Not much running. Just helping getting for the weekend. 2.3 miles 

AM- I actually made a morning practice. Normal Wednesday with the boys. 3.22 miles 

PM- Braved the heat for some random slow miles after the relays. 4.5 miles 

AM- Roadhouse with the girls, a little on my own, then Porter's Loop with the boys. 5.94 miles

Tired from meet not from running. Took a while to wake up but glad I got out for some random Bloomington streets. 4 miles 

AM-Started a minute late and worked my way to the girls. Great way to start the week. Glad I finally got a Monday AM run in. 4.26 miles

PM- Out with the freshman and others. Went back through the warm desert of Sandbergs. 4.25 miles 

AM- Slept in longer than I wanted. Went looking for the boys. Ended up on the track wtih Elinda, Em, Jake, and Bungus. 2.68 miles 

PM- 300s. Late to warm. Mixed in with the top guys doing the 300s. By mixed in, I mean I ran much slower behind them. Sat out 1 of each set so ended up with 8. I know I could've pushed harder but still a decent effort for my old man legs. 5.96 miles

Mile Effort:

Braved the dreaded track 1600. I say this as an old man. If I were a young high schooler I would love the 1600. Tried to do 500, 600, 500. I was surprised on how slow my 2nd and 3rd laps were. I thought I was crushing it. I'm excited to try again in the near future. Time to get faster.

AM- Locked in a slow jog and stayed there for a while. Speed naturally progressed. Ran with Emily for a couple of minutes before I turned up for home. Maybe I’ll go back out later. 4.02 miles 

PM- Pushing Trey around in his red car on the golf course. 1.03 miles 

AM- Warm up with some strides. 1.54 miles 

Cheater Mile (4:59.2). Finally broke 5 at 35 years old! Did I use a crazy downhill to do it? Yes I did! I’ve bombed down some crazy miles before so my effort was solid today. 1 mile 

Ran down the marathon course after my mile effort. Derek Gallacher was running his own run and I thought we were gonna cross paths but it never happened. I should’ve slowed down but thought maybe he had passed me on the trail or something so I just kept rolling. Right shin was feeling buggy. 11.02 miles

PM- Hit some c laps with the addition of Alex Baker. Still working out some stiffness. 6.3 miles 

AM- Trailed the boys and felt I wasn't getting much out of the run. Time to recover and be ready for the afternoon. 2.51 miles

PM- Warm with girls then coach laps. Totally would’ve hit all the 300s but my legs are still hammered. Next time! 7.14 miles
