One Mile at a Time

1.5 mile warm up. Ran the Reaper. It was very tough today. Took 5th with a 10:30 so slower times for most people. Cooled down the Reaper and then the loop. Doing a recovery tonight after work if any one wants to come with me.

PM-3.9 miles. Shout out to Gan who visited me at the shack. It was great seeing her! Also shout out to Spencer who visited me. It was good but not as good as Gan. Hung with Casey and Carson and told each other about our XC camps. Went on an easy run with them where we put in a lap on the Junior High track to throw it back to the glory days. Going for 60 miles this week.

Good run for the most part today. 9 miles at a 6:50 average. Coming back was a little slower than the way back. Brady and Justin ran with Riley, Reed, Jared and I. We went on Tanner's trail then all the way to Texaco then on State Street all the way to Macey's in Orem then turned left at the road to the canyon and went down it for a while. Going on State Street for as long as we did wasn't fun. Barefoot strides when we got back then weights. Two a days start today but I'm going to the RSL Inter Milan game so I'm going to miss the first one.

PM- Left the RSL Inter game a little early to run. Easy 2.5 wasn't feeling more because my legs were tired from the morning run and taking a tour of welfare square for young mens.

Went to practice not wearing a shirt because I saw that Craik didn't and thought that was a good idea because I don't wear a shirt anyways. Blessed the team by not wearing a shirt. Good speed work out today and I'm pretty sure it's because they were inspired by me. 1.1 mile warm up then two sets of 5 800s with a three minute break after each 800 and a 1200 inbetween the sets. Kept a pretty good pace. 1.15 cool down then stretching and abs.

PM- 3.05 miles. Listened to this song I didn't know was on my ipod. It was "We Own the Sky" by M83. It was pretty trippy. And the sunset was turning the clouds pink so that was cool. Getting my back checked tomorrow to see why I have to pop it so much.

Molly's today. We went up a different way and the hill was a little more gradual to get up to the trail at Grove Creek. Just went 6 because my legs were feeling weird on the trails and I didn't want my IT bands to hurt later. Didn't bring a shirt again and I don't think I will the rest of the summer. Second practice at 5:00 today. I hope it's not too hot but I'm guessing it will be roasting.

PM- 4 miles. Very hot. I believe it was 98. There were 8 guys total- Me, Jared, Riley, Reed, Ali, Matt, Luke and Brady. Mile warm up and then buddy 400s. We did 8 today so not as many as when we did them in the morning. I was very happy with my times/average pace. Mile cool down and then ice bath which felt incredible. We did them in the training room in big trash cans because there aren't tubs in the new training room. I shared with Reed and it really brought us closer together. 

Turns out our field trip today was to my stake center becuase there is a half mile trail around it. We did a 1.1 mile warm up around the hood. 5 minutes hard 5 minutes easy all the way down to 1. Kept a pretty good pace. On the last minute of hard we went so fast because Riley, Jared, Ali and I all were trying to get in front of each other. 4.75 during the workout. 2.5 cool down back to the high school. Putting in a little more before work.

PM- 3.05. It was very hot but there were some clouds, a few raindrops and a breeze.

Warmed up with Ali for the Reaper. Didn't have the best Reaper but I'm wondering if it was because only me and Ali ran it. Did a long cool down after then had donuts and OJ courtesy of coach. Getting hyped for the Temple to Temple.
