One Mile at a Time

High elevation.

Got lazy. Hard running by yourself. :/

Wowzerz! Wowie wow wow! I just went on the hottest run of my life! 7:19 average pace for 5.01 miles. The heat drained me and sweat kept getting in my eyes which stung like crazy. I ran from my house to the turn around point for 1100 then 1100 backwards back to my house. I need to start drinking lots of water again that'll help me on the runs. I also need to do more abs which might suprise you all because I'm shredded but yes, I do need to do more. Excited to run with the team tomorrow and for the 24 hour relay.

800 warm up on the grass then 6 800 repeats. I was hitting the pace I want to be by the end of the season but then I held back a little for the last three. It was a good workout. Cooled down on the track for 800 after. The 24 hour relay is today and I'm the first leg so that's pretty cool.

I couldn't remember when I ran my miles for the 24 hour relay so I'm just putting all of the splits in here. It was a very long 24 hour relay and I may have come home during it to shower. We tried to hit a team average of 7:00 but we knew it would be a struggle when in the first mile as a team 5 kids were walking. I was able to get some sleep during the night which was pretty good. I'm doing a recovery run later and ice bathing.

Final group mile as a team.

Went to the CBC and was the MVP for cheering. Played some frisbee after. 2 miles when I got home then an ice bath.

I thought we were going to go hard today but coach just had us to 4 miles easy instead. When we got back to the high school coach had us play frisbee for a little but no one would actually play so it wasn't super fun. I ran .5 during that and then .5 by myself to hit 5. Coach brought donuts after and orange juiceand chocolate milk. We had 9 guys show up today and we have 38 who said they're running so we were missing quite a few. I'm running the Stawberry Days 5k next Saturday with Riles, Jerry and Ali and maybe some other guys on the team. Don't have a plan on what to throw down yet and I'm not sure how good the competition is so I don't know if I should go for top 5 or what. I'll figure it out later, maybe the day of.
