Progression Daily

Being on Trey duty and waiting on baby girl led to not too much running. My back started hurting after our hike this morning. Glad I could get out for a little bit. I get anxious when I don’t run. 6.01 miles 

PM- Running around the couch with Trey. .35

PM-New Year’s Resolution: Break 3 Hours. Got out late after some frustrating teacher prep garbage. Ran on my own then linked up with George covering all sorts of Bloomington streets. 6.06 miles 

The Loop (in Metler’s voice) with D-Rock. Chill run with good conversations. 5.05 miles 

New Year’s Resolution: Lose 25-30 lbs. Wal-Mart Loop with B Hills extension. Tired for no apparent reason. 6.01 miles 

Cold Rain Run > Cold Windy Run. Out towards Sun River. No old people were seen. Was hoping for a little more rain and less wind. 

I'm Back. Took a couple days off running having a baby or something. Hope to get back in rhythm for my own sanity. Bloomington to Crosby then around South Gate. Felt good just some cold knees.7.4 miles 

Hit the B Loop then did sets of 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1 at marathon pace. Then hit another 1,2,3 and 6 1s. Had a 1 minute recovery between everything other than when I lost track of time. Felt pretty freakin’ good! 8.24 miles 

*Also made sure to rep the orange for Orange Shirt Tuesday! Trevor Prior Elin Holt

Just got out and moved my legs. Made it to Smiths and flipped back on the trail. 4.51 miles 

Back with PV. Ran 20 with the boys. Then Texas Roadhouse+ with the girls. Caught up on Stranger Things thoughts. 5.22 miles 

Started by the Tonaquint Cemetery and decided to loop it. Was able to find a little groove without having to do pick ups. Got around Indian Hills then extended by the Ford dealership and back to the car. 7.54 miles 

Had my mom watch Trey so I could get some miles in. Ran towards the Dog Pound and jumped on the trail from there heading towards Trail to Knowhere. Found a little creatined groove and saw some Hills. 8.11 miles 

Was gonna run last night but then Trey decided to throw up a bunch of times. Got out for a quick jog to hit 43 for the week (Strava week). 2.04 miles 

AZ. Random trails with the dudes (and Avery). Had some really fun single track sections and also some less fun moments trying to find routes that didn’t exist. 7.73 miles 

Tour de B Hills. Just taking my opportunities when given. Nothing too special other than enjoying nice weather. 6.2 miles 

Costco. Destination beat my family to Costco. Timed it perfectly and got there at the exact same time. Always run better with a destination in mind. 8.32 miles 

Ran some non traditional roads before supper. 6.33 miles 

Ran towards my parents and had Marieta pick me up in route. Wanted more but no biggy. Something tells me I’ll be able to be more a little more consistent this next week…. 5.49 miles 

Good to be back with everybody. Warm up with girls. 10 with top boys at like 6:26, close to 3 sets of 5 with Andi, and a last 5 with Boyer. Really enjoyed getting some smooth progression today. Cool with a bunch of people. 7.55 miles

T Bone. Got 4ish miles around the Mesa before running with the team. Good conversation with Holt and Dursty (and others). I really zoom through that sand (sarcasm). 8.62 miles

Warm up with the conservative crew then coach laps mainly. 8.22 miles 

git busy helping my wife and kids so I didn't run in the afternoon. Don't jude me Andi Baker. Went for a night stroll, started on the golf course. 2.5 miles

Ran from the Dixie Center then up the Tech Ridge so I could run down the Newd road. Calves blew up on the far side. Made some walking friends at the bottom and flipped off every biker I saw. 7.33 miles 

Ran from my house to my parents. Took the right fork trail. Ran past 51 entitled people, if you know what I mean. 8.3 miles

Out by the airport running the Dawson trails. Snuck some slow but fun miles before running with the David, Bake, Sariah, Ave, and Emmalee. 9.36 miles 

A little late to the party on warm up. Jumped around for a couple of reps then I think I hit 5x 5 (fast and steady) with Gubs. Sariah was in the mix with us for a minute and David twards the end. Ran pretty consistent. 6.88 miles 

Down to the river with the girls. Hit some strides on the uphills back to the school. 6.55 miles 

Washington with the girls then coach laps. Even ran a 300 with the freshman boys and regretted it. 7.1 miles 

Ran a couple of miles before climbing up to the TQ. As per most trails I wish it was longer. Pie Run. Ran across the tech ridge and down the Newd road and close to my car. 8.43 miles

Did my best to keep up with the boys even while having stomach issues. Luckily my house came up at mile 5. After a short break I went back out looking for the boys. Found the girls then branched off with Emmalee Williams for 4.5 miles. I’m so glad I found this crew otherwise I’m sure I would’ve slowed down. Em smoked me on the strides but I tried to stay close the rest of the time. Feeling good about my running after a solid week. 10.90 / 7:07 mile pace 

Mustang Pass. Slow jog before Dirty Jake and the boys caught me. Made the loop today. Stayed in the back. 7.16 miles

Warm up with boys. Did shorter segments of the workout so I could keep up. Ran a little with the freshman boys, Avery and Elin's group, and last 2 minutes of Emmalee's final 2 reps. Cool with a bunch of people. 7.77 miles

Wanted more mileage but settled for coach laps. 5.51 miles 

Not much to write home about, just laps with coaches. It's all part of my strategy to preserve energy for the big race. Remember to absorb your burbs tomorrow! 5.02 miles 

AM- Jake Carry Me? Woke up feeling like trash. No sleep and Trey being sick got me. Down to the river with da boys. Quite enjoyed a non Saturday morning run. Ran up trail to nowhere and Jake wouldn’t carry me. Coulda used him on the strides. 7.12 miles 

PM- I hoped feeling like garbage all morning would be chill when I purposefully made myself sick during the race…….Was staying competitive until I drank my 3rd can. I threw up 50 meters into the 3rd lap. I didn’t know I was capable of throwing up. Still jogged the last 2 laps. .99 

The Dave Holt Canal Trail. Fun morning run with the dedicated crew. They ran slow enough for me to hang around for a while. Enjoyed some new sights but not the skunk smells. Got dropped around 8.25 once the strides hit. I still maintained a decent pace (for my standards). Another good Saturday even feeling like death. 11.21 miles / 7:15 mile pace 

Virgin River Half Marathon (Ross's Version). Ross wanted to run a 1:43 so I helped him with pacing. Enjoyed the course and spending some time together. I think he takes satifsaction in knowing he would've won his age group had he actually run the race.

13.11 miles / 1:43:07 / 7:52 pace

.28 warm and cool 

Not much running for me. Spent more time watching some kids run the 800. Track season is here! 

Windy run with the boys. Flipped with sophomore crew. Added a little on my own. 5.01 miles 

Ran Texas Roadhouse with the girls then a couple laps with Elinda, half laps with Ave and Em, something with Bungus. Boys "barked twice" so I jumped in with them for a new loop (to me). 5.14 miles 

Glad I ran a little extra this morning because I didn't run with the team in the afternoon. Too much sickness going around. 

PM1- Nice little cupcake (or something) loop with Rake, Tall T and TS. 3.27 miles 

PM2- Started at the Dixie Center and went up past the skate park. Then just kind of went with the wind to get 5 miles. 5.1 miles 

Started the week with Ross so might as well end it. Went suicidal and ran into some snow. It’s always an amazing trail but today was particularly nice. Ran into Reese at the top. Ross took a tumble and popped his shirt off to stop the bleeding. He wouldn’t even take one of my 2 shirts I was wearing. 11.21 miles 

FAMILY SICK, NO RUNNING 

Snuck a mile while kids were warming up. Warm up with boys. Then coach laps. Kids ran some good 16s today. 5.02 miles

PM1- Snuck some miles around the school. 3.89 miles 

PM2- Started with Rush then “got stuck” with the girls at a Stop Light. Had a good time getting caught up on stuff and things. 4.32 miles 

Peach Pie and 300s. Did my own little warm up then met up with the girls. Ran some 2's and 3's with different groups. My track season allergies are already here. 6.91 miles 

Down to the river with boys. Turned back right before Sullivan. Surprised I was able to keep up with some stomach problems. Extended track minutes with Holt and Tall T, then with Jake. 7.86 miles 

Showed up late to the party so I jumped in with the boys about a mile in. Quickly realized I wasn’t going to be able to keep up. Saw the girls heading towards Rainbow and tagged along for a sandy/slippery adventure. Threw down some faster miles for the 2nd half. 11.01 miles 

Just running around while kids did prerace. Nothing special. 4.61 miles
