Thatcher's Running Blog

I ran with Neal today, 9 miles at a 6:40 pace. I feel sick still, but it was a pretty good run. It didn't feel too hard, but we were running on snow and ice at times. It was pretty cold and it started snowing during our run.

Nine miles with Neal at a 6:42 pace. It was a little bit harder running in the snow, but it wasn't too bad.

I didn't have time to get in a run today, I was too busy with finals. I didn't have time to talk to Coach Eyestone myself, but I heard from Neal (who is the only other walk-on who made the team for cross country) that we both didn't make the track team. Coach said that no walk-ons made it this year for track. I will talk to Coach after the break, but it guess that's it for this year. It looks like other years we would have made it, but this year was a really good recruiting class. 

I think I will keep training and run the meets I can unattached. I'm not sure on what my plans are though, I will play it by ear.

Today was a hard run. The pace was slow, but there was a lot of snow to run through. I went down to sugarhouse park, did a lap, and came back. The lap around sugarhouse park was really hard, because there was a lot of snow that wasn't packed down. I averaged about 7:20 pace for nine miles.

No running today. I hurt my back weightlifting.

No running again today. My back is still hurting. I could have run, but I decided to take another day off.
