GOING THE DISTANCE

Am -  Easy run this morning.  Felt really good. 3.9 miles in my K2s.

Pm -  Speed seshun after school.  3 miles of warm up then 6x300m at 800m pace.  2 mins of jog in between each.  It was good, I wore my new Kinvara 6's and they felt awesome.  I got great grip on the track and they were super light.

Times were 45, 44, 43, 44, 43, 43.    Last two got hard, definitely got some lactic acid flowing in the legs.  Had nice, cool and cloudy weather for this so that was awesome.  Cooled down to 8 miles on the afternoon then lifted weights.

Am -  Easy run, 3.8 miles.

Pm -  Did a seshun of yoga before another 3.8 easy.  Felt really sore and tight.

      I found "preliminary plans" to the new high school that's being built just south of treasure valley park.  I find blueprints and that stuff really interesting.  I just hope they have a good track, cause I really appreciate a good track.  Here's a link to it https://www.washk12.org/images/additional/Crimson_High_School__Middle_School_Preliminary_Site_Plan_20160411.pdf#view=fitH 

Am -  Did our workout in the morning today.  Coe #2, it was good.  I felt fast and I hit my times.  Had trouble catching my breath though.  I think I'm getting a bit sick, I woke up with a sore throat and my glands are swollen.  Gotta keep chugging the agua.  5.6 miles.

Pm -  Felt sick through out the day, but felt pretty good on our rainy run.  3.6 out and back into Washington, hill sprints after.  Also lifted weights and I felt good until now and my head hurts and it's hot and my through is sore.

Am -  Nice chill run this morning.  Stretched out the miles a bit longer than normal, but it felt good.  Watched a beautiful sunrise.  4 miles.

Pm -  9.4 mile run in the afternoon with a mile of barefoot striders after.  We ran down 2450, across the bridge, along Sandia Drive, up to the Squaredesac, then back to the high school.   It was a nice version of Dope Loop.  Hip flexor sore, I need to ice it.    

Am -  Nice run in the morning.  I felt a bit sore and tired but not too bad.  4 miles.  Leaving for Orem at noon.

Pm -  went over to Orem and we ran an easy 4 from there.  Did 4 200's on the track after.  It feels pretty good I'm excited to race there tomorrow.

1600m -  Did a nice warm up with our mile crew over at a park near Orem high, I did 3 miles then put my spikes on and did some strides.  It was pretty chilly but the wind calmed right at the start of our race, that was dope.  I got a good start and chilled the first lap.  Not sure what any of the splits are.  I saw Zack from Lone Peak and Patrick from AF were almost to split from the group so I surged passed some guys up to them.  Hung right behind zack for lap 2.  Start of lap 3 they started to form a gap, I responded and surged right onto Zack again.  4th lap we all just started to split apart.  I ran a perfect 3 laps and all I need was a decent last lap and I could have been like 4:18-4:20.  But I couldn't bear down hard enough and ran like a 1:08.  PR though, I'm happy with it.

Cooled down a mile with Alex.  Had lunch at 11:30.  

Warmed up almost 3 miles for the 800m.  Start was ok, first 200 was 27 and I was chilling mid pack.  Chilled till 400 and tried to go but couldn't man.  I just tried to finish with a not horrible last 300m, lol it kinda was though.  I feel like the mile in the morning took a lot out of me, cuz dang I felt very tired in my legs.  Ran a 2:01.  I'm not worried though, I know I can run a beast 800m.  Just need a few things to come together.  I'm sure the sharpness in my legs will come out too these next few weeks as we start to taper.  

Cooled down to the Secra Park I think with Paul and Skylar and we play disc golf with some random dudes we met.
