One Mile at a Time

I am back folks. First run after the mission. 3.25 miles on the treadmill. Gassed.

Today I ran three miles on the treadmill. It was once again tough. When I am done with these two weeks of quarantine hit me up to go running. Or go jogging, since I am out of shape. Still sore from Saturday's run on the treadmill. Might try out the stationary bike later tonight.

15 minutes on the stationary bike.

An aggresive mile today! 20 minutes on the stationary bike and then hopped on the treadmill for a mile. I'll run a bit more later today. Getting tested for coronavirus today! I hear it's super fun, so I can't wait!

Didn't end up running again yesterday. 3.5 miles today on the treadmill in the new Launchs. I like them. 7:42 average. Last 800-900 meters I went a sub 7 pace. I'm happy with that. Going to shoot hoops afte this and depending on how I feel I might bike for a bit.

Ten minutes on the bike later. Chose the "Banff" scenic ride today. 

Three miles today. I had planned to hop on the bike but then Brian and Matt brought me a drink so I swapped the stationary bike for Swig. 7:4X pace today.

Four on the treadmill. AP was 7:26 and the last mile was sub 7:00. I'm happy with that. Glad I kept the pace under 7:30.

Three miles this morning. 7:22 pace. Had to take all of last week off after throwing down so many miles the week before ;)

First run outside as opposed to the treadmill. 7:21 pace. It was nice. Just did 1.75 out from the Lone Peak pond towards American Fork Canyon. Matt ran with me so it was a throwback to the good old days. Fun stuff. Also got Strava and Garmin pack up. Give me kudos. I need them!

Three miles today with Matt in Provo canyon. The pace was around 6:56 I believe. I was tired. Good stuff though.

2 miles around noon on the treadmill. 7:59 pace. 

3.5 this evening. Started at Battle Creek and headed North to Molly's. It was hillier than I remembered and I was pretty gassed.

Ten minutes on the bike.

Did a mile warm up and then 8 200s with a mile cool down after on the track. I am dead. My calves are wrecked. 

Two barefoot miles on the beach here in Seabrook, Washington, after a long night/day of driving. It was quite tough running on the sand. Very pretty, but very tough. It slowly drains you. Or at least it slowly drained me. Or maybe the drive did. Who knows. We will see how much I run while being here. 

Did four miles on the treadmill today. 6:55 pace. Running at this low elevation is super nice. Felt good.

Did 1.5 miles then had to stop for dinner. Think the 1.5 was about a 7:05 and then I did 3 more miles after dinner and I think it was a 6:52 pace. Sweated buckets in the Washginton humidity. The miles felt good though. Probably could have gone faster on the three miles if I hadn't eaten before. 

I didn't run today. I did however walk seven miles on the beach. It was a lot of walking.

Short time on the bike this morning. Running with the one and only Ellie Bybee in an hour.

Four miles with LE. It was good but felt kind of tough. Around 7:35 for the average.

No running today but hiked 4.5 miles.

No running but spent some time mountain biking with Casey.

Can't remember the pace. Maybe like a 7:2x. It's on Strava. I was exhausted after and took a fat nap.

4.7 miles on the stationary bike and then some abs and exactly 17 pushups.

12 miles biking on the canal.

3.8 with Jared. It was good to run with him again. 7:52 pace.

Mountain biking again today with Casey and Colby.

Five miles this morning. That is my longest run since before the mission. I felt pretty tired. 7:23 for the AP. Maybe someday I will do a 6 miler...

4.6 miles on the bike. I actually ran more than I biked today. Impressive.

4 miles today at a 7:15 pace. I was considering doing more but it just didn't end up happening,

Three miles on the treadmill. Ate Thai for dinner then hopped on the treadmill before I went fishing. Wanted to do more but didn't have the time.

Second day in a row I did three miles at a 7:21 pace.

17.4 mile bike ride today in Island Park. Happy Fourth of July.

Bike ride today. Forgot to start my watch at one point but probably around 11 miles. I also got caught in a rut since I was on a trail for four wheelers and razors and fell off my bike. Sad. No damage taken though.

21.7 miles on the bike today. About half of it was on dirt roads and trails. Riding into the wind on the way back. It was tiring.

15.4 mile ride today.

The ball of my foot on my left furt has felt bruised today. It was fine on the run until I stepped on a rock. I think I started out too fast or something because I felt so gassed. The first 1.5 was a 7:45 pace but then overall it was a 7:28 pace. Surprised I went so much quicker on the way back. There was also a bigger elevatin gain on the way out so maybe that had something to do with it.

.

It was hot today. Three miles running and then some on the stationary bike.

3 miles on the treadmill.

3.5 at a 7:16 and then .25 super slow.

Four miles and abs.

I had too much cereal and water before my run and it was all just sloshing around in my stomach so I quit after a mile. You proud Zack?

3 miles on the treadmill. I was still sore from playing soccer two days ago.

3 miles. Each a little faster than the previous.

3 miles today. Kept the pace under 7 which was good.

3 miles. Felt pretty gassed.

I ran 3.3 miles. It was boring because I went like a mile straight on 9th East. I don't really know where to run in Provo. I feel like I'm going to get hit by a car and also I have to stop so much because there are so many stop signs.

Two miles today with Isaac. We went at like 2:00 and it was hot so we didn't want to run that much. The smoke might have affected my lungs if I hadn't inhaled smoke all day every day for two years from the cigarettes in Germany. Hidden perk I guess.

4.1 miles. My legs were very tired. I need to get back into a good running schedule. ISO people to run with.

Played a bit of soccer tonight.

Broke 100 miles finally on the Launch 6s. Pretty good run, kept the pace under 7:00.

Three miles this morning. Tested out the ankle. Stiff at the start but then it was good. Did some nice negative splits. Averaged 7:08. Need to get more consistent.

3 easy miles at night.

3.5 this morning at a 6:44 pace.

4 miles today. Similar route to yesterday morning. 6:41 pace. Ankle is a bit weak from hurting it playing soccer two weeks ago but nothing too bad.

Just under an 8 minute pace today. Legs felt heavy. Playing soccer later tonight so I didn't really feel like running but I needed to just for the consistency.

6:40 pace for three miles. Kind of chilly. Played soccer for a while later that night.

Got some new shoes over the weekend. Nike Zoom Gravity. I like them. Just did three miles this morning at a 7:02 pace. I was doing good last week but then the cold on Monday and Tuesday deterred me from running and then I just got lazy.
