One Mile at a Time

Got to practice and did the regular Reaper warm up which is just over two miles. Coach decided to start everyone at the same time today and give people stickers that we would put on a clip board at the top and he had a timer like they do in races. I guess last week when he tried just to use a stopwatch and write times down it didn't workout so well. We started the Reaper and Jared and Brady went out pretty fast. Brady kept a pretty consisten pace and won. I stuck pretty close to them and I felt like I was going out too fast and was worried I would die out. I caught up to Jared and passed him. After .9 miles Riley and Ali caught up to me. Riley passed me and beat me by about two seconds. I finished third with a 9:28 which is a PR for me and actually the first time I've broken 10:00. Ran down the Reaper with Matt after then did the cool down followed by some solid abs, wall sits and shin splint stuff. About 10 guys played ultimate after with Reed's disc called like an arobie or something. It was way fun to play with but everyone was overthrowing it. We had the clinic today but there weren't that many kids so coach said some of us could leave which was nice because it was hot.

PM- 4.18 miles. Even though Casey, Jared and I ran at 10:00 or later it was still way hot. We ran around our neighborhood then out and aroud the pond and told Casey about our wonderful high adventure. We also talked a lot about Weezer and what their best song is. We decided Perfect Situation was and Greatest Man as a close second.

Mile warm up. 1200, 800, 400 with one minute rest inbetween. Three minute rest after the 400 then repeat. Mile cool down with weights after. Planning on doing 3 or 4 later tonight. Super pumped because our new jerseys are going to be way sick!

I was going to run but I just played basketball with Zack, Asa, Connor and some others. I held back today and only threw down a couple dunks.

Today coach told us where to run which he doesn't usually go but I like it because it forces everyone to actually go hard. On the way out we had a pack of 5 plus Brady. It was me, Riles, Reed, Jerry and Ali. We went out about 3.5 with Brady keeping a fast pace. We came back but went up 1100 north and a couple other hills so our pace wasn't as fast. We went 7.01 with an average pace of 6:23. We did strides after getting us .5 followed by abs, wall sits and shin splint exercises. It was a solid practice. I need to work on drinking more so that I'm hydrated because I think that will help me on runs.

Mile warm up. 6x800s with a 400 inbetween. I could not get my legs going which was frustrating. Barefoot mile cool down. Did some weights after. Did those weird leg curls for you hamstrings and benching as well as pull ups, dips and climbed the ropes in the weight room for run. Kept it one hundred on the bench so it was pretty good.

Met at the highschool at 7:00. Coach had me drive Ali, Riles, Jerry and Harambe. We met up with the top 10 and Brady at the parking lot right at the mouth of the Provo Canyon. We went up to Bridal Veil Falls then a little more to bring our mileage to 4 out. Our pace was around a 6:45 out I believe. On the way there I might have seen Sasha because I saw a guy in crocs and his blog said he ran where I did today for part of his run. At Bridal Veil we took a casual no flex picture and @brady_a_olson posted it on Instagram so if you want to be inspired search him or look at what I'm tagged in. On the way back we went a little fast. Our average pace for the run was 6:27. Riles, Jerry and I ice bathed after while Ali watched. I'm leaving for my cabin today so wish me luck running by myself!

6:40 average at my cabin.
