I run therefore, I am!

ran 3 easy miles.  Had a full day of work and all evening doing my quarterly taxes for my business.  I really hate that.  I wont tell you what I think would be worse than that but Im afraid id jinx myself. I can tell you what Id rather be doing if you blog me! wink wink

I ran 5.52 in 38:57 which is a 7:04 average mile.  I ran the Daybreak loop and shaved a little bit off because I had a stomach ache.

I did a speed workout on riverton high's track which just so happens to be home of James Barnes team.   I did 4*200's and 5*400's.  My 200' were 38-41 seconds and my 400s were 2-1:17's and 2-1:24's  I warmed up with  a 2 miler and cooled down with a 1.5 miler.  I jogged after every interval. I felt really good this morning, like I could take on the world! Like I could grab life by the horns and wrap it up and put it in my pocket!  thats my quote from Chris Farley.  I'll tell you your going to be living in a van down by the river!

I swam 800 yards this morning.  I swam 1-400 in8:09, the second I swam in 8:16.  I havnt swam for 2 weeks and I cant believe how tired i was.  I then ran 3 miles slow outside. Ive got the worst farmers tan from work! 

I woke  up sore today from having to work a full day with my guys yesterday.  I havnt worked a full day like that in over a year and my back was sore.  I ran with missee and stacy this morning around daybreak.  It was good to get to know them. Now we just have to wait for stacy to get on the blog.  (pressure, pressure!)  I glad I ran, it woke my body up.  Now im ready for WBR baby!

Ok I started my race on friday around 8pm.  It was pretty hot!  My first leg was 5.1 miles and my split times were:  1--5:21, 2--5:45, 3--6:00, 4--6:10, 5--6:22 overall time 31:27.  I felt really until the heat got to me.  I had a good 3 miles and then I was toast.  My second leg was this morning at 12:16 am. It was hard to get my legs back into a rythm. It was a total of 2.93 miles and my splits are 1--5:40, 2--5:57, 3--5:24. my overall time was 17:02.   I immediately fell asleep as Kimball drove us to the sleep station.  I woke up at 4 am to the sound of Sasha screeming "Walter and Tyler" where are you!  I had the worst time sleeping and  my last leg had 559' of incline in it and when I got out of the van my body said, not today!  So of course i ignored it and ran my last leg of 5 miles.  my splits are 1--6:44, 2--7:01, 3--6:18, 4--6:13, 5---5:22. overall time was 31:40. We came in behind BYU by about 40 minutes and that put us in 2nd.  We also had  another  team that was the blue team that came in behind us.  Im pretty sure we got 2nd and 3rd.  It was a great time had by all and I would deffinately write a page from this but I keep falling asleep. Thanks to all that put me on the team and let me pretend I had a chance to beat some awesome college guys.  Maybe next time.
