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

Played basketball during the track class. When I got home I started to go for a run, was planning on doing like 10ish miles. But I felt pretty good, so I decided to do a 5k time trial. I did a mile warmup, and then did a 5k loop I made from my house. I got 17:28! This is like a almost 2 minute PR for me, but it's not official. No one was there to see me do it, so it dosen't really count. But for all like 2-3 of you that read my blog, do you think I could put this as a PR? I also did some hardcore core(get it?) later. That's one thing i'm gonna work a lot on this summer. 

Root beer mile. I'm like allergic to soda. Whenever I take a sip of it, I feel terrible for the next while. I was one of the first guys with the first can down, but I threw up at the 150 mark. I then jogged the rest of the lap and started on my second, and after like a minute I had barely drunk any, so I gave up.

I tried to run later, but I feel like crap. This means long runs as in 11+ the rest of the week.

loooong run. Kinda zoned out for a bit. Did mountain run up to lambert and ran some up there. After a while I looked at my watch and I had run 10.8 miles! The last time before that i checked I was at 6.2. Scary. On the way back I though up this scenario where I was ubducted by aliens for a while and they magically added miles onto my watch, and then wiped my memory. And I am now convinced that is what happened to me. It's like I was unconsious for a bit during that 4.5 mile stretch. That's like 30 minutes! Sketchy stuff.  Did a tough core workout afterwards. Going mountain biking for mutual tonight which I am pretty excited for. We're going up to lambert so maybe the same thing will happen again...  It was actually canceled because it supposed to rain. My leaders are wusses.

Sadly, my watch is broken. From last saturday when it was pouring rain on my run some water got into it, and it hasn't been working well since, and it totally blew up on the inside soon after my run today. And suggestions for a new watch for me? I want to only pay 200 max, and I don't care about all the fancy stats.

Went to Battle Creek canyon and back on Bonneville. Good run. I went a little slower than usual(by feel, because my watch is broken), but I think I averaged around a 7:10. I only stopped once though, so that makes up for the slower pace. Tough core workout when I got home.

As soon as I got home I had to go to my sister's clogging show, which was dumb. I did see ryan there though, which was funny. I ran like .75 miles there with my lil' brother, who is 3. He's gonna be a good runner. He's already super competitive, and he did all of it without stopping much. I don't know how impressive that is, but .75 miles as a 3 year old seems pretty good to me.

Just ran up the canyon nothing exciting happened. Core afterwards

Lil' warner got the valedictiorian a few days ago. That's 2 years in a row that a guy from the XC team has got it. Sadly, it's not very likely that a guy will get it this next year. Maybe a girl on the team will. 

Really good long run. Was able to average in the 6:50's, so I am really happy with this run. 

I'm not doing the half marathon next week. I'm going to do a 5k instead so I can see where i'm at, and where my summer training needs to go, especially when i'm running by myself.
