GOING THE DISTANCE

Am -  4 miles.  It was hard getting up this morning, and as it gets colder it'll just get harder.

Pm -  5 miles.  Did about 1.5 warm up, then did a 200m workout.  We got into teams of three and did relay 200's pretty much all out.  So a 200m then about 1 min rest for the other people to go, then another all out 200.  Then a 5 min jog.  4 sets of this, and wow my legs were feeling weird today.  I didn't feel very fast, but I'm not suprised; it's monday.  Did a about a mile of cool down. 

Am -  4 miles.  Not bad temps.  Legs, especially hamstrings are really sore.

Pm -  Easy run just through neighborhoods near la escuela.  A storm rolled in and it got cold.  We finished before it started raining pretty good.  My legs still felt stupendously sore, but that's alright.  I always race beast when I'm sore.  3.8 miles.

Am -  Pretty chill run, talked a bit about our dreams.  I died in 4 different peoples dreams.  feel good for the 2 mile today.  3.9 miles.

Pm -  Drove out towards treasure valley park, way out in washington fields, for the race with desert hills.  I started to warm up with my friends and geez, my legs are still waaaaay sore from 200's on monday.  Same with everybody else, for some reason they like destroyed our legs.  Got a nice warm up in, then started the race.  I got out into the lead about 400m in with Dallen, we should have chilled out a bit probably.  The dirt road we were running on had like tiny rocks on it so i felt like I was slipping the whole time which was a bit annoying.  At 1 mile, I'm feeling tired, but ready to start going hard.  All the sudden Jaiden makes a massive surge and I try to go with him.  I'm pushing hard but he keeps pulling away.  Josh, Sage, and Tanner come up to me and I hang on them a bit, but my legs just didn't have much today.  I just kept pushing hard and dang Bryson passes me with 100 to go.  DH beasted today props to them.  I had a good effort, I know when I'm not pushing and that wasn't today.  Idk i guess my legs are just tired.  This was a good tune up for Nike, I'm feeling very confident in what I can do there.  5.4 total.   

Pm -  Easy run today, it was great recovery.  Energy level was prime without a morning run today.  Legs were still pretty sore, but felt fairly better than yesterday.  I bet the race kinda flushed out the soreness and stuff.  4.2 miles.

Pm -  Did some good track work today.  A lot of guys were gone today to Red riot, some party thing at SUU, so good for them.  Varsity guys there was me, Skylar, Carson, Mitch, Alex.  We did some worm up then got into 10 minutes of tempo on the track.  It was pretty cheese, around 5:45 pace.  

Then did 3 800m repeats.  1st was 2:35.  2nd was 2:28.  3rd was 2:18.  Those felt good, I wanted to just start going balls out.  Man, I love the 800m in track.  After did about 10 minutes of cool down then stretched.  

Am -  Got up at 6:45 and drove up to run Mustang Pass.  I took my rake and headed up to work on the trail.  Ran 2 miles up, then spent about an hour clearing the trail.  I was using my rake like a scythe on the tumble weeds, and then it broke after about 40 mins.  So then I just used my hands.  I made pretty good progress on a section of the trail.  After I was done, I ran back and forth twice on about a mile section of the trail to give it some wear, then ran back to my car and went home.  Now going pheasant hunting.  7.4 miles.

Yo everybody who reads this and lives in St George area:  please go run Mustang Pass.  It is such a fun trail with amazing views of Pine Valley, but not enough people run it so it gets bad.  If lots of people run it it will stay in good shape.
