Sock tans

50% on Dikes. First day with the other group! We have 4 days of effort this week so prepping myself for that. It's gonna be tough but that's what makes us stronger! 7:11 average. 

Nate helped me realign my SI joints, they were out today and I definitely felt it on the run. But hamstring was feeling alright! That's good. 

Weights: 4x10 squats, 4x10 RDLs (used the bar today because hammy was alright), 4x10 bridges, 4x10 blue band walking squats, 3x10 shoulder taps, 3x10 elevated push-ups, 3x10 purple band pulls, 3x10 DB rows half elevated on bench. 

80% and whistle hills today. Mile warmup then two laps on the track before starting. 3 laps at 80% and up to Home Depot. When we started the 80% I was already tight and pushing a bit more than was comfortable, but you know it's the faster group so I was like whatever just stick with them for as long as you can. Maybe that contributed to my crappy run? Not sure but I just felt awful today. It was super windy so that probably affected times, but still it should not have been so slow. I got 21:22, a whole minute slower than I got on a 60%. I think I'm getting sick so maybe my energy levels are depleted or something. But yeah I fell off the group real quick. First mile was 5:42 though and I think that's the first time breaking 6:00 in a workout since coming home from my mission, so hooray for that! 

Warmup to Bicent, then workout was 2ks. First one was good at 8:16 (mile split 6:11). I was just close enough to the first group to get started with them, but it meant I only got 10-15 seconds of recovery instead of 1 minute or whatever it was. So basically just did a 4K haha. The second one my legs built up lactic for sure, they were super heavy. But I still worked hard, time was just much slower. 9:17 with a 6:58 mile split. I was ready to go for a third one but I had just missed the top group starting, so when I asked coach he told me I was only doing two, saying I had "run them fast". Was a bit disappointed, I actually wanted to finish the workout. But oh well, we still have 1-2 days left of speed. I guess that just means I'm literally in between the two groups, not quite fast enough for the first but ahead of the second. I just hope I can stay with the first, so that I have people to work up to.

Coach texted us and told us to sleep in this morning, so that was nice! Fun run with Josie later. It was super windy, one of the days where the wind comes from all directions. That's Cedar for ya!

It's a good thing I've been automatically waking up at 5:50-6 every day because I definitely didn't set an alarm last night... whoops. Today was just a 50%, 7:26 average.

Looks like we skipped fall, winter has arrived! It was quite chilly.

Canyon + Main Street, 7:36 average
