Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials

Bench and inverted rows before I had to go to early morning seminary.

No practice today but I didn't know we had a workout on the track so I didn't bring my stuff. Went home and changed then did a mile warmup plus 2 more miles to get back to the high school. Drills and strides then started the workout. 8X800, 200 with 30 secs after the 800s and 2:30 after the 200s. Splits were 2:20, 30, 2:18, 32, 2:21, 32, 2:21, 31, 2:20, 32, 2:21, 32, 2:20, 32, 2:21, 30. Tough workout, the wind and my stomach did not help. Cool down back to my house, saw my grandparents and they gave me a ride the rest of the way cuz I was already over mileage and it's a down week. Finished upper body lifting when I got home 

Mile warmup. Recovery run, looped up 600 W and down killers. Luke ran with me for 2 but then he turned around. 6:47 average pace 

Mile warmup then a mile easy and drills. 7X400m hill repeats on airport, 5 up, 2 down. 1:30 rest in between the middle repeats, jog back down in between the first and last repeats. Splits were 82, 78, 63 (down), 80, 63 (down), 81, 82. Good effort, harder than I thought it would be. 5 mile cool down, 6:50 avg pace

Mile warmup and drills. Snaked around lehi for a couple miles then did strides. 2X200m, both in 28 high, 2X100, both in 13 high.

Sickest bike ride ever and we only went 20. Austin came over and we did JRT golf course way, tried out my new Trek hybrid I got for Christmas. Got to where the trail stops at a dirt road and decided to try and find where it kept going. Found the trail and it just got lit from there. Never been on such a cool section of trail, the scenery was amazing. Stopped to eat some granola bars, wanted to keep going but we had to get back before dark. On the way back, the sunset was so bright shining on the mountains so we stopped to take that in for a while from up on the golf course. Indescribable feeling really, once in a lifetime moment and it only lasted about a minute. Epic ride, great convos, nice bike, lots of hills, wind in our faces, getting hyped, 3:45 mile without breaking a sweat, you guys have no idea how life changing this was. Words don't do it justice. Shout out to Austin cuz it wouldn't have been as sick without him. If anyone ever wants to go riding hit me up, I'm always down. It doesn't get much better than this.

Mile warmup then 2 miles easy. Gun went off and I got out good into third place. Just kept grinding, ended up getting passed by Kauffman then outkicked by Adam Wood. Felt alright but it was definitely hard to get moving and the lactic acid hit me big time in the second lap. Don't have the speed yet and I need to work on my form and kick but this was a PR and my first time under 2. A mile after, 6:50, then a mile tempo, 5:27. Then 3X400 at 2 mile, mile, 800 pace, all with full recovery. Splits for those were 70, 65, 67. The effort was there on the last one, my legs just wouldn't move faster and I was going into a gnarly headwind. Half mile to finish up.

Mile warmup. Past the farms and out towards eagle mountain and back, 6:53 avg pace.

Unfortunately my launches have started rubbing the skin off the back of my heel so I have been forced to retire them. I think I'll wash them and take them to school for the lehi vs skyridge shoe drive, along with my old zantes. Hopefully they can be of good use to somebody
