Hurdle the Dead, Trample the Weak

AM: 2 miles

I ran with Trevor on Porter Rockwell Trail for only 2 miles. He's pretty slow and out of shape so it wasn't the run I was hoping for. Afterwards we played some basketball in the park.

PM: 4.5 miles

I got Zach to run with me in the gully, but he didn't want to go super far so we only went 4.5 miles in the lower gully. Strengthening excersises and stretching after.

I realized today that I need a new group to run with. I've been trying to run with others, because it actually gets me out there running, but everyone I run with is kinda slow (not to sound rude or anything). So this week will be a week of finding a new running group.

PM: 8 miles

Ran up to Alta Ski Resort and ran 8 nice elevated miles. It felt good to be back up there and I enjoyed it. Instead of run the normal camp ground loops I turn and run up the mountain until I found a trail that I could follow back down. Got some nice pictures of the scenery and what not. Also found an abondoned mine shaft that I hope to explore later.

PPM: 3 mile walk

Walked around the neighborhood to help my legs recover and strengthen.

PM: 7 miles

Ran a nice farlek today around Lehi. Started with a 15 min warm up, then 3 min hard 2 min easy for 20 min, and finally a 15 min cool down. I ran it around a loop that got both good up and down hill running so it was great. I took the warm up a little too fast so I think it hindered my 3 min hard efforts just a bit, but I'll fix that for next time. Also I want to move my warm up and cool down to only 10 min to get in more hard running. 

PM: 10 miles

I couldn't find my watch today so I ran an old 10 mile loop I made in high school. Was gone for 74 min so about 7:30ish pace which isn't bad for my first 10 mile since I've been home. I felt great the whole time and ended strong. Can't wait to keep progressing.
