Progression Daily

Well I have gotten fat because I haven't run. New year though. I am going to try and run 5 days week even if that means really short distances. 

Easy 2, felt good.

Ran the Sandberg pond loop with my Dad.

Ran an easy with my timex watch. I am finally figuring it out. 

Ran an easy 4, nothing special. 

Easy 4 with the Ross man. I need to get back in shape and fast. 

I ran a good paced down to Lowes and back. I ran at 7:16/mile. 

I was running good but ran out of gas near the end because it was a ton of uphill. 

Ran out behind the house that got nailed by a boulder. 

I tracked down the PV track team and it was a rushed dumb decision. I enjoyed seeing Holt and some younger siblings of my buddies. I was really dehydrated and didn't stretch. Might have pulled something. 

Out of shape but I am getting better.

I am fat.

I ran to my Uncles house and pulled a calf muscle.

I thought I could run out my tight calf. I guess I need more time and more stretching or I should have run more.

My leg is still tightning up but I think I will be alright.

Calf is feeling better but still a lingering issue.

Just ran to get a little exercise in. Saturday will be interesting.

Just went out and ran some striders on the grass. Not sure how far I actually ran.

Well I thought I was all recovered from my right calf injury and now I have a left calf that won't loosen up. I should have started slower but I don't know how because I usually run road races in better shape. I felt really good and ran 6:05 for the first and about a 19:50 3 mile split. I was just starting to settle in at about 4 and a half miles and then my left calf blew up on me. I tried stretching and praying but my calf is messed up. I wanted to quit but I hobbled along and finished the race. Sucky experience but at the same time I can learn from it. I just need to get my legs feeling better, lose weight and get back into it.

Hiked/ran with my Dad on some trail right behind Tuacahn. We saw where they keep their camels, zebras, and horses. Ended up in Snow Canyon state park. My calf held up thanks to a week break of not doing anything. I can only get better from here. 

Relaxed loop 4 miler with my Dad. Still feeling some tightness in the calves but I won't do anything to dangerous on  them for a while. 

I was going to just walk or jog but I felt better than I thought I would. Ran up and over Foremaster. 

I have no idea how far I ran but it was awesome! I was camping at Doheny Park with some buddies. I ran from our camp site to San Clemente Pier. I ran along the beach the whole way on some incredible pathways, like compacted sand trails. It was a really long run so I don't really know how far I ran, I would guess no less than 8 but no more than 11? I didn't run with a watch or anything I just enjoyed the views. 

Ran around Dana Point with Dahlson Flake, and RJ Smith. We found the cool mountain trails and jumped from rock to rock on a mile long jetty. It was crazy! We saw a baby seal get rescued by the Harbor Patrol. 

I ran a big loop from my house through Washington, the fields, up river road past foremaster, Sunrise and back home. It was a long slow run but I feel good that I did it. 

Nothing like a trail run above Middleton. Halfway through I stopped on top of a nice view point and did some homework. I'm reading up on Bowerman and Nike. Still have some calf problems butt I ran at an easy pace. 

Still having calf problems. 

Injured but I ran a smarter race. Team Deckinator took 2nd place baby. It was a uphill course but I liked it. I need to get healthy and in shape. Despite my injury it was a good stepping stone.

Ran up to Angels Landing, well as much as I could. My calf and people kind of preventing running the whole thing, and I guess the chains. I became a member of the Angels Club and will get a $40 taken off next years Zion Half Marathon. Good run with my old man. 

Ran an easy 2 in some new Aasics. Felt like a good pair but my calf was still giving me problems. 

I ran slow miles in the Green Springs Desert. It was super windy and I almost stepped on a turtle. My calf is still bugging me but I will just take it easy. 

I ran on the bike trail until I saw some deer. I wore compression socks and it seemed to help my calves.

Ran a mile to the PV track, ran a mile there and then back home.

Ran the Great Race course at the college with my Dad, and some teammates. 

I just wanted to run to keep my streak going for the week. 

I usually don't run on Sunday but I went on a hike with my parents and my Dad asked me to run back to our car and pick them up. 

I just had to get out and run. 

I ran to play some volleyball then I ran to play some soccer. It was a lot of miles but I broke it up between sports. 

Participated in the Great Race and won it! We did it as an unofficial DSU XC team. I did the trivia and ran around the course cheering on my team. 

I ran 12 60 second intervals with equal jog in between. Then I ran 2 minutes fast to end. It was nice to change up my running a little. 

I ran out to Washington up to the Maverik and looped through desert above Green Springs. I wanted to run 10 and it was exactly 10. 

SUPER FUN MUD OBSTACLE RACE! At the start it was just dusty and no dirt for like a mile or more. So Hyrum, RJ, and I took off and ran fast dominating our heat. By the time we hit the obstacles and mud we were atleast half a mile ahead of everyone else. We missed out on hanging with our team but it was fun to be in the lead. 

Finally got brave enough to run on some nasty blisters. 

1st run: I did my annual run to the river run today.  It is so refreshing to run in some heat and then hop into that Virgin River. 

2nd run: I ran up the hill by Coral Canyon and the dump on Telegraph just for fun after a class in Hurricane. 

Ran out to the ball fields in Little Valley. 

I ran from my friends house in Diamond Valley at 2 am this morning. Crazy run but good. 

Ran 2 hard miles 

I love my long runs even though I may not be in shape for them. 

Good race?

Ran on a game trail by Navajo Lake then hit up the Virgin River Rim Trail. Ended up running in snow, mud, branches, and anything else crazy. 

1: Ran a mile to get out of Kanarville Falls

2. Ran an easy 4.  

Ran home from work. 

Ran the Color Palooza with Baby Face. 

I went on an adventure today with my Dad.  We ran down the North Rim of the Grand Canyon to the Colorado and back up.  We were able to run a solid 22 miles before heat and our quads destroyed us.  We struggled through the last 10 miles but had a blast in the Canyon. 

I was surprised I had any energy to run like I did.  I dressed up as Mr. Steeler and had a good time. 

Ran to the park in Washington that has a pond. I felt decent but have some weird pain in my left ankle. 

Ran 11- 1 minute intervals with equal recovery. 

d

Ran in the heat to try and adjust. Ran a 6:09 mile for fun. Heat kills

I ran out to the AZ strip from my house. It was 10 miles to get there and then I ran 4 back and stopped at my bros once the heat started sucking. Awesome run! I ran negative splits for my last 7 miles getting into low 7s and a 6:40 for my last mile. I haven't been finishing strong in any of my runs so today was just what I needed. 

Easy 2 around my neighborhood. 

Ran on the Virgin Rim trail with my Dad. Fun run and exactly what I needed for an almost no running week. 

Ran an easy but painful 6 mile loop. I tweeked my ankle but it should be alright. 

Ran out to Hell hole and through Washington fields and back home. Super hot but I survived. 

Ran an anaerobic threshold. Did 2 miles fast with a 5:59 first mile

Ran the hood

Ran home from my buddies house. 

Slow boring 4 miler. Saw RJ

Ran to Strawberry Point and saw an Elk herd of about 20. Gotta love those trail runs. 

I ran down to Foremaster and over to the boulevard, ran the whole length and on home. 

Ran an easy but decently fast paced 4 with the R Man. 

Ran to my FHE activity. I ran to Cox park on the running trail from my house.  

Ran on grass with the PVXC crew. Man I am so old. 

So I drank Monster before the race and that was a HUGE mistake! I had to poop pretty much the whole race. My ending chip time was like 1:34 including my 4-5 port-a-potty stops. My actual running time was 1:26:27. I wish I didn't have stomach problems because I would have run even faster. I am still proud of my efforts especially including how sick I felt. I almost quit.

Ran on the trail with Rodney, Jenecee, and Deandre. 

Ran up to the Bountiful temple from my grandparents then ran on some trail across the street from the temple. 

Ran 7.5 miles up Farmington canyon with my dad. Then 7.5 back down the mountain. I hated the way up and loved the way down. 

Ran an easy 3+ to freshen up the legs a little bit. 

Not a fan of the new course and I was running on tired legs. Overall a great workout. 

Ran up to Strawberry Point with my Dad, Uncle, and Cousin 

Ran 7 miles on the Virgin Trail starting from the spot close to Strawberry Point. Then ran 5 miles down Willis Creek to my cabin in the dark.

Ran 3 miles on a beach in Mexico and I'm pretty sure I scared all the Mexicans by doing so. 

Ran out to Coral Canyon and back. 

Ran a sucky uphill trail on Pine Valley. It was too much for me to handle. I only made 3.5 up (and walked a lot). Then the return on the downhill was almost worse because I kept slipping. 

Ran with some teammates on the trail and up through Bloomington Hills

Ran a little bit out by Littlefield. Then I ran 4 on the grass at 2450 park. Ran in my Nike waffles to the park and felt like I was running with history on my feet.

After practice I was called upon to run in the Red Rock with my buddy Montague. I coud not resist. I only made the conditions that I would do some earlier legs so I could get done fast so I could party at my cabin. 

Leg 3(Red Rock): I loved this leg! Long and mostly downhill. 8.50 miles in 56:28/6:39 pace

Leg 7(Red Rock): Duck creek to Navajo lake. I am a terrible runner and I had to run this "very hard" leg. I just tried to endure and not pass out. 5.8 miles in 51:53/8:57 pace

Leg 13(Red Rock): I ran out towards New Castle and I was hauling butt (prob 6:15-6:20 pace) but then there was a lot of loose gravel and my flats do not handle loose gravel and or rocks very well. My feet got destroyed. Fatigue from running 20+ miles didn't seem to be a big deal but my feet were killing me. 4.8 miles in 33:45/7:02 pace

I keep getting new pains! My foot and achilles. Ran barefoot in grass because it feels better than with shoes on.

Ran the race course at Safford Lake and Park. 

I really liked the course at Safford park only there was a Foremaster like hill we had to run up twice. The boys team took 7th and the Girls took 5th. We had 4 all-conference: Nick Watson, Skyler Tarver, Liz Cook, and Bri Moyle. 

Ran to the University campus looking for my car that I thought my Dad left there. 

Ran up to the Owen's Loop trail and ended up on the City Creek trail. Then I ran down to the City Libary to get my car. 

Ran out on the trails by Exit 13 and ended up in Coral Canyon and then I ran all the trails there I could find. 

Ran out round schnob kai? 

Ran on Bracken's Loop, Grapevine, Church Rocks, and Prospector. 

I bit off more than I can chew. I ran out to Coral Canyon from my house and ran back on Hell Hole and Washingon. 

Ran parts of the Expedition with the Ross man. 

Ran around thetown. 

Ran out to the desert above Green Springs from my house. 

I ran out by Grafton and planted hidden cameras for my buddies marriage proposal. I wanted to run more but caught up in the set up and also terrible mud and rain. 

Ran in the stupid rain in my Dads bike florescent shirt and rubbed my nipples raw. Not fun

Running in the cold rain without a shirt getting ready for that Expedition. 

Ran hard for those six. I ran mad because school sucks. 

Ran out towards Wariner Valley and checked out the new stupid Highway and looped around the cliffs out there. 

I pulled my hamstring during a turkey bowl and got sick after Thanksgiving. Thought my hamstring was well off for today but I was wrong. 

Poopy hamstring. Ran home from school

Ran in the snow and mud with a bum hamstring. 

Another session of running home from school. 

The snow was nuts! I was really worried about hamstring but I didn't have problems with it until near the end of Leg 6. My Dad and I were in out of leading the whole race until Leg 7. After Leg 7 my Dad and I were about done. With a combination of my hamstring problem and a new IT band problem, my Dads enery depletion, and the crazy snow we struggled to finish. I couldn't finish leg 10 because of my leg so after my Dad got energized he switched me half way through leg 10. 

Leg 2: Tried to run as conservative as a I could on a short leg. 2.36 miles: 16:21/6:56 mile

Leg 4: Hard not to go fast on this leg, with all the downhill. I destroyed my body on the downhill. 7.32 miles: 47:26/6:29 mile

Leg 6: Ran through my territory on the trail by the River by the Skim boarding place.My hamstring and IT band started hurting really really bad.  4.98 miles: 35:48/7:11 mile

Leg 8: I just chugged along with a bad leg. 4.56 miles: 43:23/9:31 mile

Leg 10(half of): Tried to bail my Dad out of running more than 5 legs but my leg was too bad. 2.53 miles: 25:27/10:03

After a week of letting my IT and hamstring heal I ran in the snow with my Dad. I was fine until about 1.5 miles into it. IT is still bugging me. 

Shouldnt have run with my IT but I jogged and hiked a little. 

Taped my IT band and ran an easy 4. 

Ran a little bit and my IT band hurt. 

Ran too long with my Dad and my IT band is killing me. Unfortunately I might need to take an unwanted break. 

Ran some trail above the U with my Dad. I slipped a couple of times on the ice but it was fun and I didn't appear to have any injury problems.
