Progression Daily

Back in action! Ran an easy 2 with my Dad. Leg is feeling alright, I guess. I just need to drop the pounds. Love being back in Utah.

I ran a really really slow 5 with my bro Jake and my hopefully future sis-in-law. I want to go faster but I think it is better at this point to get more milage in, even if I have to go extremely slow.

Easy 2

Another easy 2 and football with buddies

Ran a rocky 4 out in the mountains. Loved it! Sucks that I am out of shape still but I'm working on that. Probably walked/hiked 4 more miles.

Did the trivia part of the Great Race. Fun to watch Aaron Metler, Rodney, and Ryan Neilson put on a good show for the 1st leg. My team took 5th.

Ran a easy 2 in the rain. I need to run more but I get too tired after work. Not an excuse, I will find the time.

Ran a little more than a mile to break in some new Aasics. My legs got really tight really fast.

Ran to the river and swam and ran back home. Distance over speed is my key right now.

Ran a slow but good 5. Up and over foremaster.

A little bit faster pace, 5 miler with the R-man.

Easy 3 but tried throwing some speed in there.

A little speed work.

Fastest mile: 7:25, slowest: 11something.

Easy jog to the river with Ryan and Scota

2 a days? I ran a mile with my Dad coming down the observation point hike. Then later at night I pounded out 4 1/2 more. 

2 miler out to Sunrise. Tried running an under 7:30 last mile and did it in 7:04.

Ran 5 with my Dad in on a Zion trail. Ran a little more on the Emeralds Pool park.

Ran down to the bike trail then up the most southern end of Foremaster, down Sunrise and to the Casa.

4 mile run on the Bayou.

Ran a 3 miler at a 8:11 pace. I did however relapse this last week. I went back down to Louisiana and ate a lot and ran little.

I wussed out on my run. I tried running in the heat and probably started out too fast. I had stomach problems from drinking too much water. Luckily some buddies were driving by and I got a ride home instead of throwing up and trying to walk the last 2 miles.

Ran 4 miles on the bike trails in Bloomington Hills. First longer run with a under 8min/mile pace. Times are coming down.

Boom! Best post surgery run I have had yet. I ran down around foremaster up by the hospital past Dicks, Sunrise and back to the house. The run had a lot of uphill but I was able to stay consistent and finish with a sub 7 last mile. Feels good to actually get some faster miles. Its all a work in progress. I still need to drop atleast 25 more pounds.

Nice late run. My goal this week is to run everyday except Sunday and put up 25-30 miles

Ran 6 in 48:04, felt sick but besides that it was an ok run.

Never realized how important breathing in running is until now. Ran a late one to try and be like the WBR runners.

Crazy sandy long run with my Dad. We went out by Gunlock Res.and ran a lot of uphill. Got a new post surgery mile high.

Ran an easy 4, 7:36/mile pace

Ran a good pace with my Dad, 7:33 mile pace.

Ran a pretty decent 7 on the bike trails. Did it at about a 7:36/mile pace.

Boom got 30 miles for the week. Huge step for me and pretty consistent mile paces. Ran a late 6 up Sunrise and down foremaster.

I hadn't recovered as much as I was hoping. I ran an easy 4.

PM: First 2-a-day. Ran a some what relaxed 2 with a 7:10 last mile.

Another sucky sandy run with my Dad and brother. We ran some trail out by Red Cliffs. Did really well on the sandy uphills but ankle struggled on the downhills.

Ran 1 mile, got too busy with other things but wanted to say I ran. Will run more tomorrow.

AM: Wanted an easy 3 but felt ok to do 4.5

I ran a motivated 10 at a 7:58/mile pace. Really glad I could do it.

Tried doing a fartlek for 2 miles only made it 1 and a half. Great week. Looking to continually bump up the miles.

I felt really terrible from the get go. Monday runs have always been a challenge for me, mainly because I eat too much sunday. I felt sick throughout the run but breathed out my sick aches. I almost "Trevor Thompsoned" near the end so I jogged it in easy. Ran at a 8:00/mile pace.

Easy slow 5 with Dahlson, RJ, and Big Dahlson.

Track work? It's been more than 3 years since I have done that. I did 4 400s and felt like I was running ridiculously fast but really wasn't.

Green Springs/Zabriskie 6 from my house. Felt pretty smooth. I need to eat less to prevent future sick aches. 7:47/mile pace.

Ran a nice relaxed 7 in Little Valley. I rolled my ankle about 3 miles into it. Hurting right now, hopefully it won't be a big deal.

It is hot outside. I had my buddy drop me off on the way to swim by the Washington Dam. Running in the afternoon is never a good idea. I ran the first 2 miles just fine but struggled the rest of the run. Rewarded with some deep river water.

AM: Sluggish 3 mile run.

Ran 10 60 second intervals with equal recovery time. I ran fast but probably could have gone faster. Nice little run. I felt kind of fast.

Yes, I got my first race out of the way. I did I a lot better than I thought I would. Fun race. I want to run it again when I am in better shape.

AM: Well I didn't stretch after the half so I was too sore to run the last 2 days. Ran an easy 3. I was still really sore but it loosened me up.

PM: Ran 2 by the sand dunes by the river.

Slow run. I was glad I could run the way I did. I just have to keep adjusting in all my runs and focus on the basics.

I felt bad I didn't run yesterday so I wanted to get a longer un in today. Felt pretty smooth until the last couple of miles.

Welp I'm not fast but was a good workout.

I just wanted to get a quick one in.

Ran part in Flagstaff with my Brother. Tried out the course I will be running in a month.

I'm usually not a good Monday runner but my Dad helped me run a good 9. I was stoked that I could keep the mile times down.

Ran a slow humid one. I started out too fast but it was good to complete the run.

I ran 60 second intervals but didn't dig enough. I don't know why I'm so wussy and or slow.

I ran 5.70 with my Dad on Cedar Mtn and then added 2 more before football with some friends.

Easy paced 9. I ran really late but suceeded in avoiding the heat.

AM: Easy hot 4.

Run out to Hell Hole with my Dad. We swam in the river to cool down and saw the PV XC crew.

Decent paced 6 with the XC crew. Good to be running with a team again.

PM: Easy 3

AM: Ran an easy 6 not with the team. I had to go to the bathroom and fell behind the main crew.

PM: 12 60 second intervals. I started out alright but didn't dig or fight enough.

AM: Soft run at Vernon Worthlin. 5.5 miles

PM: 7 miler out to the old airport road and back to the college.

Finally just a morning run. Long and hilly

AM: Whoo! Just a nice soft run. I was stoked to just go at a nice pace but relaxed.

PM: Crazy Oak Grove Run. The combination of practices and working 9 hours in the hot sun has really got to me. I felt light headed the whole way but struggled through it.

Easy 7 but I still lacked energy. Today I don't work and there is no evening practice so I will take advantage and rest up.

Boom! I ran new record high mileage week. Ran 14 on the marathon course with my main man RJ. I felt re-energized. Thanks to not working yesterday. Ran at a 7:08/mile pace.

AM: Easy 6 but my hami starting tightning up.

PM: Uphill 400s on Turkey Farm Road. I was still pretty tight but I just kept trying to dig. I wasn't fast but I put in a good effort

Easy soft running at Vernon Worthlin.

XC practice was cancelled due to the rain. We were supposed to run 8 as a team. I only ran 5 by myself. I wish we would have had practice still.

AM: 5 soft running at Cox Park.

PM: 2 Webb Hills. 1st: 10:08, 2nd: 9:56

Run to Middleton. Ran a faster than I wanted pace behind RJ, and Dawson.

I don't have speed. However, I ran my last mile and half at a faster pace than I ran for my first mile. Usually that never happens for me. I just need to get a competitive spirit again.

AM: Easy nice 7.3 miler with Dahlson and RJ.

PM: 5 1 mile repeats

I'm not fast but I was consistent.

AM: easy soft running

Easy run but I had no energy. I need to make sure I drink a lot.

AM: Easy 4 soft running.

PM: 10 400s.

Jogged curves, ran straight aways.

Well it was a huge disappointment of a race for me. I really had to use a bathroom because I ate a weird energy bar that gave me the runs. Unfortunately, there were like 10 port-a-johns but all were out of toilet paper. So I ran all over the place to buildings close by and all were closed. I couldn't not find toilet paper. I just had to run and not Trevor Thompson myself during the race. I only have room to improve.

A really quick marathon course 12er with RJ.

AM: Soft running.

PM: 15 60 second intervals. It was only Rodney, Zac, Thatcher, and myself but still a good workout.  

Did striders and jogging. 

Well it was a hot and sandy course. I ran it back in high school and hated it back then. I finished 8th on the team and last overall. However, I ran faster than I did at Flagstaff. Rather than be negative I will just look ahead and be better. At times I wonder how much my operated leg is effecting me, who knows.

PM: I didn't feel good in the morning so I didn't go to the AM practice. We ran Owens Loop, T-Bone out on the desert trailes. I love dirty dusty trails.

Easy run

Easy Indian running with the crew.

Once I get in the back with all those fast Division 1 runners I have a hard time staying focused.

I wasn't planning on running this at all. My brother couldn't run so I took his number. I decided to run because I won't be running in anymore XC meets. I obviously started out too fast and wasn't there mentally to finish decent. I can't wait to see what I can do when I actually train for a marathon.

Something is messed up in my lower right leg. Jogged a little with the team.

We did 12 60 second intervals. I felt pain in my right leg right when we started but I made it through that workout. It worries me that I can't see what is wrong with my leg. It's a deep hurt. 

I ran a good paced 10. My feet are still messed up but I can't keep resting them or else I will get out of shape. 

Well our top 6 runners are going to Hawaii for Conference. The top 3 were already set. However, there are 5 more runners on the team and only 3 spots. So we had a time trial to see who gets the next 3 spots. I took 4th out  of 5 and didn't make the top 6. I will still probably go to Hawaii, I will just have to pay for my ticket.

Ran on the grass in my new spikes. 

Got the legs moving with RJ and Dahlson. 

I had been sick the last 2 days but I put out a decent effort. Fun to run in freaking Hawaii

Ran on a really cool mountainous trail. 

Easy grass running. 

12 60 second intervals. 

Ran 20 minutes out and 20 back 

Just ran on the course getting ready for Regionals tomorrow. 

I started out too fast and died. It's all good though, I was in Hawaii. Great experience! Looking forward to next season already. 

Well I'm going to start nice and easy. Let my body recover from a XC season I wasn't ready for. 

Ran the 5k with Dahlson, fun run. 

I ran out on the AZ strip with my Dad. A lot of crazy mountain climbing, made it hard to run.
