GOING THE DISTANCE

10am -  Me and Alex went and ran up hell hole canyon.  I went up the canyon 2 miles.  It was freezing in the canyon and there was ice all over the trail.  When we were running back Alex took a nasty fall from slipping on the ice.  He got bloodied up pretty bad.

11am -  Today was a great run to finish out the year.  I wanted to start at green springs park and head toward the turkey farm road.  So i drove up there and ran through the bushes up to the cottontail trail.  Ran on that for about a mile until it merged into the middleton powerline trail.  I was planning on 4 miles but I could see a water tank up ahead which looked about a half mile away (when i was at 2 miles).  So I decided I would run 5 miles and go to the water tank.  Then I could at least see how far i was from the turkey farm road.  I got to the top of the hill that the water tank was on and the road was right there.  BOOM!  My mind was blown.  I didn't know the turkey farm road was so close to my house.  The way back was great, all downhill except a flat spot for a mile.  My final mileage for the year was 1110.56.  Which is rad cuz I ran over 1000 miles in a year. 

1pm -  did 4 easy miles around the desert by my house.  Pretty easy.  Found some rolling hills which were fun running on.

3pm -  Ran 4 miles with Paul and Jake.  We went down to the river and did parkour running, jumping off dirt bike jumps.  Prime

3pm -  7 miles after school.  It was pretty fast and hard.  My tendonitis started acting up in my left ankle and my new socks gave me a blister on my left foot.  Havent ran this far in a really long time.  The weather was really great like its been all week.

9am -  Ran the Freshman 5k course by Jake's house with the freshman 5 and cameron.  It was really fun and good.  Iced last night and felt better today.  We did yoga after and ate a ton of french toast.
