Met up with the guys again for our run. 7 miles out in the trails with 8x100m strides afterwards. It was fun and we kept it easy. It's too bad that this break has to come to an end, I was really liking this no-school thing. Oh well. I'm ready to rock this week and gain some momentum going into BYU. Hopefully by then I will still have a top 15 time in the 800 so I can run in the golden hour. It's going to be close.

3 miles in the morning. In the afternoon we were supposed to do a workout with some 1000s, but due to the crazy winds, Coach decided today would be a good day for our 200s competition. Every year we do a 200s competition, and Coach gives us all splits to hit and we do as many as we can at that split or faster with a 200m recovery between each rep and a 3 minute drink break between each set of 8 reps. Me, Josh, Rex, and Ben all had 33s for our splits, but I think we hit 31s and 32s most of the time. Coach stopped us at 36 because we wouldn't quit and it was getting late, so now we get some prize or something. I was pretty happy because I was about to die anyways. 9 miles on the track for the workout, pretty insane!

Super tight this morning from yesterdays workout! 5 miles easy in the afternoon, still pretty tight. I'm getting a massage tonight so hopefully that will help out. I rolled out and stretched last night so I think I could have felt a lot worse today but I'm glad I didn't.

Did the workout in the morning to avoid the afternoon winds. The workout didn't go to well for me, I was supposed do 6x400 @ 58-60 seconds and 2x300 @ 43 seconds, but my legs were unusually trashed for some reason. I just wasn't able to hit my times. We lucked out though because it was super windy in the afternoon. 4 miles easy.

10 miles this morning with some of the guys that didn't go up to Richfield. We were going to go up to Pine Valley, but the weather up there looked pretty crappy, so we just ran on a trail out by the dam road. It was actually a pretty sweet trail, I'll have to go back out there sometime. It was pretty cold at the start but it warmed up quite a bit. We went out 5 miles on the trail, and on the way back we did a fartlek, 5:2 4:2 3:1 2:1 1:1. I felt pretty good, still hurting in my ankle a little bit though. Hopefully the rest over the rest of the weekend will help a little bit. Good workout and a good way to end the week.
