GOING THE DISTANCE

Am -  Woke up and there was snow on my lawn and car and when I left it was snowing but no snow on our run.  Bummer.  4 miles.

Pm -  7.1 miles, 60/60 workout.  Early out today, started at 12:30 and it was snowing!  Warmed up 10 minutes and then on the workout out I was going 325 meters, resting 150.  It went by super fast and my form was on fire man.  Today really was a great day.  On the last 2 reps it started snowing again and on the last one I opened it up a bit, got like 395.  Dang I felt good, I'm gonna be ready to drop some epic 800s eventually.

cooled down a bit then lifted weights.

Am -  3.8 easy miles, Zion outlets.  It was muy frio.

Pm -  5.9 trail run.  We drove up to cottonwood trailhead and ran up red reef wash.  I love running up washes, and the sand was wet so it was rad.  The washes in red cliffs are dope.  We tried to find a trail that I saw on google earth, but translating Google earth to actually being in nature is hard.  When we came back I defied the odds and found it.

Am -  3.8 miles, zion outlets.

Pm -  Tempo run on track.  15 minutes of warmup then got going.  First mile was a bit quicker than we wanted, like 5:57.  Then dropped in down around 5:45 for the next 5 laps, and finally closed in about 5:28.  Oh, tempo was 20 minutes.  Our (me, paul, dallen, preston) average pave was 5:44.  The last mile felt really great, I can really feel my fitness getting good.  Cooled down 10 minutes to 6.8 miles.

Lifted weights after.  I kinda messed up my knee doing some wild free running on our trail run yesterday, so I didn't do some lifts like squats.  Bummer.

Pm - Nice chill day today.  Started off with a seshun of yoga.  Then a 4 mile loop around Dogtown.  

As we passed Mcdonalds, a guy stopped at a stop sign said out his window, "hey wait, I got something for you guys in my trunk."  I was thinking, "oh shiz I'm outta here, I know what goes down here".  But no, everyone except me and skylar went to the guys trunk as he opened it.  Everyone let out a cheer of excitement, so I thought maybe it was candy.  But nope, it was just a bunch of Gideon version pocket bibles.  Lol good run.

Pm -  ran over to the sand hill and did some reps, 2 sets of 3x1min.  Dang, I'm getting sick for the 4th time this winter and I felt like garbage.  Still had a decent workout but could've been better.  I need to drink waaaaaay more lick widz, get back to a healthy chump.  7 miles overall.

Am -  Went out with coach H and some guys to the Arizona Strip for our long run.  We ran up a road then into a canyon with a bunch of cholla and barrel cactus.  First 4-5 miles sucked, I was feeling some sickness and my body was drained.  Stuck in in there though and the last 6 or so was pretty good, probably got some endorphin releasage.  It was 11.25 out and back.  Driving home I started getting some chills.  Currently chilling on my couch in a coat and beanie and sweats freezing and watching basketball.
