It's a RUNderful life

Glad to be back at practice today. Mile wu to the cemetary for a "cross-country ladders" workout, which means 200,400,800,1600,800,400,200 at goal 5k pace with 1 min of rest after the 200 and then a minute more each time and vice versa going down. Overall it was a hard workout, but a good workout, and I felt pretty good. Everything was on pace (6:10 is my goal pace) or faster except the 1600 ended up being 6 seconds too slow so that was bummer. I seriously don't know how i'm gonna hold that pace in a race hah. Last 200m was pretty epic racing Mario. Shoutout to her for edging me out at the very end. After race back and finished our mile to end up one mile over mileage. Abs and hips to follow and like a gallon of water... #staythirsty

*shoutout to Austin cuz he leaves for Spain today. What a guy.

Easy recovery run (8:20ap),then some weights, abs, and hips.

Easy pace run today, 7:30ap. Did the old country road willowcreek loop from the park which is exactly 6 miles so that's cool. Was not feeling super great... i think i was still just tired from Monday's workout, but it was still decently paced thanks to Gan and Tommy who were great running buddies. After did abs and hips.

"Skyrim" workout todayyyyy. Mile wu and then the wo was 8x600m burm repeats with 90 sec rest inbetween (that's not much fyi). Goal pace was 6:12-6:24 per mile, but per 600 it was basically to stay under 2:30 for me. It ended up being a really good workout and I hit some good splits: 2:18, 2:18, 2:24, 2:24, 2:24, 2:24, 2:24, 2:18. So very consistent hah. Legs were wrecked after but it was a good cd to the "watering hole" with Gangan. 

Shoutout to Collin and Gan for helping to pace the wo :)

High mileage recovery today. I had to do a couple miles b4 practice cuz I had to be somewhere at 10. Those kinda sucked cuz I did them barefoot on super long grass, but it's probably good for meh. Then did 7 more at practice with Gan. We ran down to Lehi and I ran a couple miles on the track while she ran on the grass and then we looped back up to the park. 8:15ap. Felt alright, not wonderful. 

Really really good early run today. Met Gan, Gups, and Mario at Mitchell Hollow kinda early and we ran on the MCT up towards PG. One super cool thing that happened was that we at one point were running the opposite direction of all the people doing the Timp half on the trail, and we ran right past good ole Kaylee and Rachel and got to cheer them on! what champs... We were all feeling pretty good today so average pace for the whole running including warm up was 7:55. Soliddd. After did abs and hips and some pushups cuz ya know, gotta get that grind on ;)
