Progression Daily

AM- Jumped on my favorite abandoned golf course for some relaxing soul soothing miles. Took a pit stop at a 7/11 and bought a Thompson household favorite beverage. Added some speed for the last couple of miles and had myself a good little morning run. An easy 10, if you will. 10.01 miles 

PM- Went for a double because I spent too much time inside. Had to work out some groin pains. 4.08 miles 

Turned a negative into a positive. Started out feeling rough. The more I ran the better I felt. Mainly coach laps then I even mixed in some speed with the kids on the track. Proud of the kids out here still getting after it. 8.43 miles 

AM- Tuesday morning with the girls and a little on my own. Then some stretching because I can't lift. 3.12 miles

PM- Out to Sullivan with the goofy boys. 4.48 miles 

Took a substantial amount of time for my hamstring to warm up. 3.04 miles 

No afternoon because of baby appointment and Parent-Teacher Conferences. 

AM- Normal Thursday with the girls plus a loop on my own. Some light weights. 3.1 miles

PM- Warm up with the boys then watched the kids run well in the 480th Autumn Classic. Cooled with kids then ran home from D-Hells. Through a short stretch of desert in the dark. 7.34 miles 

AM- Ran the Ramada out and back with the boys. Good vibes and a good time. My hamstrings were feeling much better until the strides.....5.77 miles 

Been a while since I’ve run some good desert. Brushed a cactus about a mile into the run and had a couple of ankle rolls but I’m not Trevor Prior so I recovered immediately. Got on some of my favorite sections and ended up on Zen following pink flags. Hit some road for the last couple of miles. 10.41

Back at it with D-Rock. Took a random route from Confluence Park. Ended running the new trails all the way up to the Hospital. Derek ran into a rope fence thing, could’ve been worse. We jumped back on the Mayors Loop and found a way to get 10. Not very fast this morning. 10.02 miles 

I don't remember but it looks like some coach laps. 5.09 miles 

SICK AND OR ELK HUNTING. 

Pretty unenthused until I got some coach laps with Rush, Dave, and Coach Coleman. Just had fun being around the kids. 4.32 miles 

AM- Ran with Em, Bake, and Elinda. Then added my own loop. 3.11 miles 
 

PM- Warm up with girls and coach laps. Kids ran super amazing for the Dream Mile. Shout out to Nathan Humphries for breaking 5, Avery Smith for slaying, Sariah Jones with a 3 minute PR, and Trevor Prior  for a new record. 4.14 miles 

Good run with the girls. Ran the slowest strides in the history of strides. 5.58 miles 

Love me some 30/90s. Feel pretty good about the effort I got in. Beautiful morning. Went Wal-Mart Loop + Sunriver connection. 7.88 miles 

Just went out for a stroll to make sure I got something in for the day. 3.02 miles 

Out to Ramada with the boys. Flipped with Dave, Tay, and Dursty. 4.9 miles

Warm up with the boys then I wanted to run fast. Ran a 400. Then when Trevor was actually ready to run fast I ran a 198 with the boys. 

*My running has been weird as of late. No urgency to run a ton. 

AM- Checked the potential Ally Holt 5K. I think I found the best scenario for what we got at PV. Added some extra stuff afterwards. 4.78 miles 

PM- Fun outing with the girls. Enjoying the weather and Pine Valley views. Sandbergs was nice and compact after some rain. 3.74 miles 

Ran out some frustrations while waiting for packet pick up and food at Viva Chicken. Kept it under 8 and hit Utah Tech (a place I don’t recognize) and down to the river trail. Some biker said “nice” as he passed me so I must’ve been looking good. Ran my last mile as my fastest. 8.55 miles / 7:39 mile 

Once that yuca frita hit my problems went away….

AM- Warm up with D-Rock down to the bathroom. 2.85 miles

Race- Silver lining of being in town was being able to run this race. Started out strong and then had stomach issues and turned into a wuss. Had to push a lady out of my way after trying to warn her 2 times. Sorry lady! Not that anyone has keeping track but took 5th behind Derek Gallacher , Hellian, Random guy, and Crimson freshman. 3.15 miles

mile 1- 5:52

mile 2- 6:26

mile 3- 6:36

Cool- Hit some miles with D-Rock. Both of us were pretty slow but we got the desired mileage so no complaints. 5.7 miles 

Shaved a little but can still cut off more back grass. I think the course is nice like Kingman. 3.8 miles 

PM- Pulled a total Bungus and forgot my running shoes. Ran boilers with the girls sounding like a Mtn goat (or Adams kid). Still had a good time and good convo with Elsa. 3.85 miles

PM2- Going over stuff with the Ellsworths. 1.23 miles

AM- Extended D.I. Loop with the boys. Good to run with them. Been a minute. 2.74 miles

PM- Warm with girls the coach laps with David. 5.25 miles 

ELK HUNT

Wanted to make sure I got something before the events of the day. I thought I’d go faster but lost motivation in the cold and so did my body. Still had a good time. 7 miles 

Elite set up crew with Travis Roberts Logan Fielding and Trey Despain. Nathan Humphries and Miles Boyer better make sure the band kids don’t  mess with our course. 6.18 miles 

Ran with Scottie Bushar  taking turns pushing and getting complacent. I had to close a gate a little after a mile that cost me 10-15 seconds. The announcer said I was the “2nd Place Female” but I never got my prize?!? So fun to see so many PV Legends today! Amazing turn out and support today! Gotta love the Holts 🐈🤷‍♂️! Plus I think the course was actually pretty freakin’ solid even for having 500-600 people on it. 

*Can’t believe I ran this well considering how much pain I’ve been in. Football (with too many Ellsworths) and lifting stuff for the race got my hernia flaring up.

Clean up with Travis, Luke, and Scottie.
