You don't need to run every day to be a runner

2 mile warm-up, 1200,800,600,400, 2 mile cooldown. I struggled, felt weak. Maybe I'm not drinking enough.

Shout out to zack because he's still pushing hard and not giving up even though nothing is going his way.

30 minutes on the spin bike, average incline of 1.8%.

Later in the day i did 6 on bonneville @7:25 pace. Sprinkling for first half which was quite refreshing.

2 mile tempo. I wasn't feeling it today so I just told myself to negative split the 2nd mile by at least 10 seconds. I hit 6:43 (haha soooo slow), then 6:12. So 12:55 total. At region i want to get under 17:45, so i have a bit of work to do.

Last hard workout before region! 9x400 with 90 seconds rest. I hit 74,75,75,76,75,75,78,75,70. I was really mad at myself for that 78. I'm happy with this workout. So pumped for region. I AM going to get under 17:30. Cooldown and ice bath. Ice bath was one of the coldest I've ever taken. My right hip was hurting on the cooldown. I've had all sorts of aches and pains this week, so after region I am going to take 4-5 days off to make sure I'm complelety healthy.

Sadly no running today. Was kinda aching all over today but in particular my hip. Just playing it safe. Did part of the first leg of the tour de france on my ride.

Really shortvrun and strides. I'm just aching all over. After region going to stip running till I feel normal again.

I don't know whats wrong with me and racing, but I need to figure it out. I am confident I have ran faster than this at the end of distance runs multiple times. But the team did good and thats what matters most.

Lots of hiking this week. My knees and hips are still hurting a bit.

My mom went for a 2 mile walk on monday and got shin splints... That takes talent hahahaha

Hiked tree of knowledge with tanner and ben on monday. Was a good time.

Watched state today and ran around some. I wanted to race so badly. I know I can be fast. I just need to stay away from injury.

Got in some decent bike miles and did some good core workouts.

12 hard on the bike, average incline of 1.7%, 17.4 mph average. Solid core workout after.

Also walked like 3 miles and shoutout to the Ericksons for giving me a ride the last bit.

Just another day on the bike, with core afterwards. I'm not experiencing random aching and hurting all over my legs anymore, so I'm gonna bike the rest of this week and start running again next.

Bike and core

Cross country banquet today. I got the "stalker" award and I am quite satisfied with that. So shoutout to galen and jamison for coming up with it. I got sad thinking I may never race a true xc race again. Rumning has been awesome these past 2.5 years. Although my times don't reflect the work I've put into running, I'm glad I run. I don't know what I would do without it.

Oh yeah, did some more core today. I am sore.

Hiked box elder with tanner. We didn't quite make it to the top which was partially my fault. The stupid snow slowed us down a ton. Oh well, it was a good time though.

Ran around "G" mountain and it was definitely a good time. Ran some extra doing pick up runs for my dad. The loop is 8.5 miles. Will for sure do it again sometime.
