GOING THE DISTANCE

Am -  Did a morning run with the team, that was fun.  I'll probably do 3 this week as I get my miles back up.  Stinking sore throat is still lingering a bit but for the most part I feel good.

Pm -  6 minute test this afternoon.  Warmed up 10 mins then did it.  I was leading the first 3 laps, I wanted to go out and get 2000m.  But being sick and 2 weeks of low easy mileage affected me more than I thought.  The last 2 laps I was just tired and didn't have much.  Got 1933, a deprovement, but I'll just do my workouts with Preston and Paul as I get back rollin.  Cooled down to 50 minutes.  6.6 on the afternoon.

Lifted a little.  Also got a track sponsor from children's dental #makeitrain 

Pm -  Didn't run in the morning, don't wanna bump up my mileage too quick.  In the afternoon for practice we did some Old Man Hills.  4x800 at a pretty solid pace, they were decently hard with pretty tired legs.  I went 2:45, :44, :41, :35.  I really enjoy old man hills theyre complex.  Played a bit of football after.

Everybody go follow @freshman5official on instagram, they are having a contest this week and giving away special suprises.  

Am -  easy 3.6.  I took it a little slower cause my legs were just dead this morning.  Root beer mile in the afternoon!

Pm -  First race of the season and wow it was full of action.  Preston organized it so that it was during the school fire drill so it was dang packed.  I was hoping to win as I was second returner.  Warmed up like .3 and got to the line.  

I had dropped all my root beers so they were very foamy so that sucked.  I used Barq's by the way.  Mitch, Paul, Corbin, Jason, and Paul got out quick and I was just behind.  Second root beer mitch just took over, he was so OP this year.  His opening 809m was 2:46!!!  Including 2 root beers!  He went on to win in 6:39, too legit.  Paul threw up after two laps so he was DQ'd.  Jason and Corbin pulled away from me a bit and finished 2nd and 3rd unofficially.  The last two laps and root beers I didn't have much inspiration cause nobody was close to me, so I just cruised through to a 7:52 and unofficial 4th, a bit slower than last year.  

Turns our Jason had thrown up and Corbin had dumped out approximately 5-6 ounces through two of his cans, so they were DQ'd and I officially took 2nd! 

After, we went and ran on some cattle trails through Sandbergs desert, charged some cows, and finished up to 4.4 on the afternoon.

Pm -  Drove up to SUU with some guys to watch our bball team in the quarterfinals and they lost to a pretty good canyon view so bummer.  After that we went and chang behind a staircase in the Eccles Collesium; what a rush we were so exposed.  Warmed up 17 minutes then did 25 minutes tempo on SUU's track.  It ain't no lucious mondo surface, but it's way nicer than ours.  Me, Paul, Skylar, and Preston had a good group going, then preston dropped at like 10, then skylar at 20.  I was super tired, idk why, but me and Paul gutted out the last mile in like 5:35 it was good.  Averaged 5:52.  Cooled down to 8.5 miles then came home.

Saw SUU's XC bell ringer twice; once as we were eating at cafe rio she ran by, and as we were about to leave we saw her walking home.  That was awesome, Bryan even took a pic with her.

Pm -  Did the classic shoe run today.  Left a hubcap and some flowers at the Ellsworths.  Rubbed the Eagles beak for good luck in the ultimate Frisbee tournament tomorrow.  Skipped rocks at Sandberg's pond.  Charged a herd of cows.  Even found a shoe on the shoe run.  It was just a dope run.  Then did a mile of barefoot striders on the football field.  6.2 total.

Am -  Got up at 6:30, a lot earlier than I like on a Saturday, and ran 10 miles on Prospector trail with Dallen, Mitch, Andrew, and Alex.  Good run it was fun.

After that, went straight over to the field by the rec center for a ultimate frisbee tournament.  Got a little over 7 miles in 4 games, so I bet about 6 was running.  My team, the Mexican Hell Snake Red Fury D-Lions, did pretty good and got 2nd.  All that stuff left me completely exhausted but YOLO that happens.
