One Mile at a Time

Great practice today. Did the 2.2 mile warmup then lined up for the Reaper. Today I decided to start out faster than usual. Jared and I were together in the front with Brady pushing the pace for us for most of the time. At around a mile Jared started to pull ahead. Jared finished first then I got second. Huge shoutout to Jared because he went sub 9!! I got a 9 second PR 9:19. I'm hoping to drop a sub 9 this summer. On our way down the Reaper we saw the AF guys so we ran over and said hi and good luck then we did the cool down loop. Stretched, abs, wall sits and shin splint excercises after. Played basketball at 11 for a super long time with Connor, Spencer and Asa and a bunch of others. It was a great time. Made some bets with half court shots at the end. Said my goodbyes to Asa. He's a great guy I love him and he's gonna kill it on his mission. I'm seeing Connor one last time tonight and I'll see Spencer before he leaves next week. 

Did a recovery run.

Had a pretty good turn out at practice today. Little P even came so that was a surprise. Today we ran to Lindon Park then under State Street on the trail for a while then headed out to the lake. It was weird at the start because two girls tried to run with us but they were going so fast so we just ran with them until they died after about 1.5 miles. I ran with Brady, Jared, Ali, Matt, Reed and Harambe for the way out then Jared, Ali and I decided not to go throught this factory thing so we turned a different way and just ran back together. 9.5 miles 6:47 average then 4 barefoot strides after. Said bye to Connor last night. It sucked.

Nice little recovery. Almost ran into two trash cans because it was so dark. Ready to have a killer speed workout tomorrow.

Good speed workout today. It was a little confusing- 800 hard, 200 easy, 600 hard, 400 easy, 400 hard and then a mile and two minute rest three times.

Had a great run with Clain. Very fun and refreshing!

Today we started off easy with about a 7:45 first mile. We went down to the church by Locust then by Central down 1100 to Discovery then on 1800 past the light heading toward AF High. We went out 29 minutes because we thought going back to the high school would take longer because there's some up hill but we came back quicker than we went out to we finished up on the track. 6:39 average pace. Strides after. Saw Casey and Carson coming home from their practice on our run. Practice in three hours.

Little over a mile warm up. Buddy 800s. My legs were feeling pretty dead so I dind't go as fast as I wanted but I still did well. My partner was Ali and we were able to pull out the win. Mile cool down, stretched then ice bath.

Today the varsity guys ran to my stake center by Discovery Park while everyone else drove. Our workout was 3 mile repeats with a 5 minute rest inbetween each one. I felt pretty good today. I was in the front so Brady was pushing me. My splits were 5:31, 5:29 and 5:19. Ran back to the high school after and stretched there.

Today was our 85 minute run. Coach told us to go north on the canal and Benny D complained and coach told him to be quiet because he doesn't ever come so that made us all laugh. We started off with Jared, Ali, Wade, Harambe, Matt and Eric and started out with a 7:30 mile. On the way out we kept our miles in the high 6:40s. We made almost all the way to Lone Peak, we were just on that road behing it. On the way back Jared, Ali and I picked up the pace so we were hitting 6:35s. We had to finish up on the track to hit 85. It was a tough run but good. 12.63 miles with a 6:44 average. Had lots of water after and then thought I was going to throw up but luckily I didn't. We listened to Stronger after and it was sick.

Ya know I didn't count basketball as mileage because I don't like doing that but I figure after all I played it's fine to count it as .05. Sue me.
