GOING THE DISTANCE

Am -  We met at 8 this morning to to our main workout cause it's spring break.  Our war ups were cool, I felt like a really cool person as the sun was just peaking over the brilliant horizon of Zion National Park to the east.  We warmed up 2 miles then did our workout, my groups was 4x1000m and 2 300's.  The 1k's were mucho dificil este mañana, no se porque.  Pero, yo trabajadé como un toro.  My times were 3:14, :09, :08, :07.  I put what speed I could into the 300's, I was already extremely tired.  Still got a decent 42 and 43.  After that we lifted and got super swoll.  6 miles total.

Pm -  I went out for a run at around 4.  Man it was hot!  I haven't warn a shirt with sleeves for a long time, and for good reason.  It was just a good but boring run.

Something that raised hell today:  I went to Ross for like the 10th time this month and they didn't have any track spikes.  I get so unlucky.

Am -  This morning our team just went on a nice 60 minute run.  We ran along the river trail till River road.  Then ran on that road basically all the way back to school.  Our pace was pretty fast, it was kinda hard but leisurely at the same time.  We talked about floating down the river all the way to lake mead, then down the Colorado to the gulf of California, then out to Japan.  That sounds like a pretty fun adventure.  Our loop was 7.9 miles and then we did 8 barefoot strides on some garbage grass the was like rock hard.

Pm -  I was shooting baby heads out in Warner valley with the fam.  So before we left, ne and Alex got a head start and ran back towards the city.  We did 3.7 mile which was good.  Would found this lovely grass field in the middle of a new developement Stuck Farms.

Something that raised hell today:  what Tony Almeida did on the episode of 24 I watched today.  I don't want to ruin it for everyone, so I'm just gonna say wow, it RAISED HELL.

Am -  Today for practice, us guys in the 800/1600 crew has a workout of 10 400's at 1600m race pace.  So my pace was 1:07.5.  We did a 2 mile warm, then ran the running workout.  I've been coming down with a cold the last couple days and it wore on me a bit today.  I probably averaged like 1:08 though, even adding some hurdles on like half of them.  It was a really hard workout though.  7 miles was the total miles for me.

Also we did some lifting after.  Someone had a fire playlist going with some Ice Cube, Notorious BIG, Warren G.  Probly controversial Cam but idk.

Pm -  Me, Cam, Paul, and Alex went to the new Fiesta Fun to bowl and just check it out.  It was pretty rad.  After that we ran out in the desert behind my house, just like a nice slow run with luscious cloud cover.  We ran through all the new bulldozed area and stuff.  3.3 miles.

Something that raised hell today:  ha ha ha when we cashed in our tickets at fiesta fun and the lady had to count out like 500 frooties, lol.  She got kinda butthurt.

Am -  We met at the high school at 8, then drove up to Green Springs Park to run Mustang pass trail.  It was actually a flammin good time.  But the trail is totally being overgrown and destroyed.  If more people don't start going on it, in 6 months it will probably be gone.  If anyone lives in St. George, I compel you to go walk, bike, or run this trail.  TOGETHER WE CAN SAVE A INOCENT TRAIL!!!   Please, I love trail running and this is a great trail.  We ran 6.8 miles.

Pm -  I went out to the river trail and did the 10.5 mile loop on my rollerblades.  It was pretty hard, but very fun.

Something that raised hell today:  Nicole painted my finger nails.  I honestly feel kind of ashamed of myself.

Am -  This morning we did some hill repeats.  Workout was 2 x (800m, 400m, 200m) then 400m, 200m.  Man, this workout was really tough.  On the first set, I honestly struggled a bit.  Especially on the 800, where my form was garbage.  On the second set though, I had kinda woken up a bit and had good form and some speedy running.  So yeah, I just finished out the workout really strong, then we ran back to school then went home.  Today is gonna be a great day, the weather is so fine.  7.5 miles

Pm -  I went for a run in the desert.  Since all the 4 wheeler trails are getting destroyed, I mainly did some trail blazing.  It was slow and hard, but I actually enjoyed being in the hot, majestic desert.  

Something that raised hell today:  I was waving my hand around in the kitchen and smacked a full glass of milk.  The delicious, pure milk went everywhere.  It was so sad, and I had to clean it all up.

Am -  I went to go running at 11 o clock.  My goal today was to get a long run in with at 20 min tempo.  I headed down the road, I was running.  As I was running down the road I was listening to music through my iPod touch, 4th generation, black, 32 gb.  I really need to buy an armband, I hate holding it in my hand.  My plan was to go run my tempo on the track at school, but when I got there I saw there was a big soccer game going.  So I decided against it and chose to run my tempo on red cliffs drive/telegraph cause it was the flattest street I could think of.  Turns out that was a stupid idea.  After I got about 8 solid minutes, I had to stop at 3 intersections.  That really threw off any rhythm I had.  But really, it ended up to be an ok workout.  I ended up with 9 miles.
