Progression Daily

Best way to test the hernia is running on loose rock and switch backs. Right calf got so tight I had to switch my calf sleeve. Had to do some climbing at the end. 6.33 miles 

Good run with the girls up into Middleton talking about life and Stranger Things. My watch says I ran 4.36 miles and if you add 4+3+6 you get 13. 4.36 miles 

Ran from a appointment home. Felt a little  off in my groinal/hernia region. Once again I ran 6.13 but strava is short changing me. 

End of XC. No strava tax today! I ran 4.14 thinking Strava would tax me to 4.13. AC with the whole team. I learned Jake is the Josh Allen of his school. Fun way to wrap up the season running as family crew. 4.14 miles 

Little loop with some hill climbs. Nothing fast but relaxing. Not sure what I’m doing with my running right now. 6.2 miles

B-Hills Mess Around with Trey. Rolled out the stroller and played in some leafs (leaves?). Not as far as would’ve like to run but we still had a good time. 2.08 miles 

Started easy and got faster every mile. Started at Crosby then out and around Tonaquint. Worked from a 8:34 down to a 6:38. Slow cool for the 8th mile. 8.1 miles 

1. 8:34

2. 8:08

3. 7:51

4. 7:26

5. 7:15

6. 7:05

7. 6:38

AM- 25 out and around running slow. 2.69 miles 

PM- Started at Crosby again. Went in directions to avoid bikers. What percentage of ROTC kids turn into city trail bikers?? There has to be some connection to that entitlement attitude. 4.35 miles 

Bloomington Loop. Nothing special, just out there moving in the cold. 3.01 miles 

B-Hills to Fields to Little Valley. 

No Last One Standing for me this year so I did a different endurance test. Wanted 20 or 3 hours. Didn’t really have a set route and just followed paved trails. Hit some desert right when my legs were getting sore. Navigated to my favorite parts of White Dome. Finished with my fastest miles and ran until I saw Trey and Marieta. Fun adventure! 20.48 miles 

Tour de Ivins and Kayenta with D-Rock. Started out super rough but my sore muscles settled after a couple of miles. It was fun running up by crazy lady Hildebrandt’s house and Red Mtn. Super stinky at the end for some reason. 11.41 miles 

Afternoon Run with the boys out looking for Zac Brown. Historical moment where the girls outnumbered the boys. 3.01 miles 

Warm up with D-Rock and timed his 1600. Cooled after. Had Achilles pain?!? 

Let me brag about my friend Derek Gallacher! Now here’s a guy who is chasing down his high school times at the ripe age of 34. Inspiration to all! 2.28 miles 

5 Hills / Week 3 Complete. Ran 5 of the different routes up to the Tech Ridge. The Dragon Tail was a calf burner for sure. I wanted to run Temple Quarry but it was closed so I just finished on top of the ridge. Proud of myself for not walking a step on those big boy climbs. 7.17 miles 

Fun run with Noe Hernandez and Bailey Barker. Original route was gonna be a 2 lap Iron Man course. I opted for the 15 by the mall route. Felt pretty good but tired at the end. Really enjoyed the conversations with Bailey and Noe. 15.4 miles 

Felt like I had food poisoning yesterday so I never got out. Did a little jog this morning. Achilles was struggling but started to warm up just as I was needing to head in. Glad I got something in around the hood. 2.15 miles 

Late night jog by Lava Ridge after basketball with family. 2.02 miles 

Hit the Wal-Mart Loop still feeling off. Just grateful to be out running. Nice weather out. 4.97 miles 

Christmas Run. Need to start waking up early to get longer runs. Started Trevor Prior's secret powder today. Ran down south of Foremaster where the river is flowing. 3.51 miles

warm up. A little bit with Trey. Then a little with Big Trey, Cooper and Luke. .97 

RACE:

Top 10. Still need to dig deeper and today I didn't really have any issues other than wussitis. Nathan passed me at the last second. TEAM LUKE WON AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS!

Splits:

1. 1:21

2. 1:27

3. 1:30

4. 1:26   (LOOKS LIKE I RAN THE EXACT SAME SPLITS AS LAST YEAR)

5:45

Cool to Decker 1.16 miles
