Progression Daily

AM: 25 on the VRRT. 2.31 miles 

PM: Tempo workout by Navajo lake. 4, 5, 4, 5. Ran with JD and felt nauseated after the run. 6.49 miles 

AM: 70 minute on the VRRT down towards deep creek, I think. Where I killed an elk several years back. I started out with most of the level 1 guys then decided to help Caleb get his 70 minutes. 6.29 miles

PM: Easy 25 on the same VRRT stretch as the other 25 minute runs. 2.12 miles 

AM: Ran downhill for 20ish minutes, turned around and ran uphill for 30ish minutes. On this run I switched between different runners to help them up those steep hills. Helping others made it so I wasn't a wuss on the uphills. With each runner I told them to use their affirmations they created at the camp workshop with the captains and then again with Amber Green. It was great to practice something we learned at camp. 5.16 miles

All in all camp was an amazing experience! The kids had a great time and the team is meshing together perfectly! Excited for the season! 

PM: Drove to Tropic Reservoir to be with Marieta and her family. We ran the skunk creek trail for 40 minutes. 4.27 miles 

So obviously I thought I signed up for the all downhill course. That dang fire changed the Parowan course! Instead of starting up by Yankee Meadow the race started 6 miles up Highway 143. The first 6 miles were nice, scenic and downhill. 7-13 not so much! It wasn't the worst course but I got bored running through all the neighborhoods. I stopped pushing after mile 8 and let my fat man persona take over.

AM: Set out to run 10 with Marieta this morning. Her knee has been hurting so we ended up doing some grass running at Snow Canyon middle. 3.9 miles 

PM: Ran in the storm! Crazy rain, wind, and mud slides. Ran from DSU to diagonal, hit the parkway and hopped onto city creek trail. City creek had a creek running through it. Toon city creek to Owens loop then back on the parkway and home. Couldn't have asked for a better run to end the summer. 10.21

PM: Ran around with the crew then Josh and new Corbin. Then added a little with Scottie. I didn't think my guys were going to run this morning so I slept in. I felt bad when I found out most of them went to practice. Glad they are committed to more miles. 3.96 miles

PM: 40 with new Corbin and some others a long the way. I ran extra looking for people. 6.3 miles

AM: 1.95 with the crew. 

PM: 35 minutes with Coby and new Korbin. Then 13 by myself to add some miles. 6.06

AM: 25 minutes with the Top Dogs. Definetely a different pace for me but it was great to run with those guys. I have been in a slum for a while as far as my chill runs go. It was good to pick up my pace to run with a new group. 3.48 miles 

PM: Run around Bloomington park setting up and taking down the xc course. Then I ran on the bike trail up to Vermillion. 4.15 miles

AM: 70 minutes with Caleb. Started out with Tyler, JD, Landon, and even Ethan. It felt really nice to be running that early. To improve my training I'm going to get my bulk miles in during the morning runs. The afternoons are usually no a guarantee situation on mileage. 7.65 miles 

Ran with level 3 guys today. Out to Green Springs, Middleton, Pioneer Pkwy, and even on the boulevard. I ran with them mainly to get more mileage. My guys turned around and I wanted to go longer so I did. It felt good to go a faster pace than I'm used to on an easy run. 8.2 miles

Dirt mile with 15 warm, 4:30 at 3k pace, 3:30 recovery, 1:30 at 3k pace, then 20 cool down. Guys were dropping off due to the heat but a couple of them ran strong. Did a nice long cool down with Jason and Coby. 6.54 miles 

AM: 12 minute run this morning. I parked to the running center and ran to meet up with the xc crew and did a loop to my car. I had to leave early to get things for my classroom. 1.52 miles

PM: Easy 40 with the crew. 5.52 miles 

Did not feel good running.

PM: 30 minute run with Korbin, Caleb, and Jason. 3.27 miles 

PM 2: I changed the oil in my car and got a little dirty. My body told me to go out for another jog so I listened. I've been debating on dropping out of the marathon due to lack of mileage (mainly on saturdays). I'll give it a good go over the next couple of weeks with no pressure then I'll make a decision maybe a week or two before the big day. 3.19 miles
