Happy New years everone!

4.8 (3 am lol): got back from some fun new years parties and kept my high school tradition alive by running the morning of New Years Day. Just did a big loop up to canyon road, out to the canyon, to the road lone peak is on and back to my house. lol, the one time I'll double this week will be at 3 am.

10.08 in the later morning. Wishing that I would have done my longer run at 3 am and then the shorter now cuz it was really snowy which made for slippery tough conditions. Good stuff though. 

Got my booty kicked.... 2.5 warm up, 5 mile tempo (my back started hurting at 1.5 and I'm pretty sure my rib is out again) went 5:16, 5:17, 5:38, 5:45, 5:43. Cooled down back to the park

Woke up feeling sick so planned not to run. Then by noon I was like, I can make it 2 or 3 miles. And I went out a mile and decided to loop it to 3, then decided to do tramp run which would make it to 5, then looped around to make it 6, then decided to run to AF high school to make it 11, then just kept adding more cuz I felt better every mile more I went. Never had that happen before. 

Met at art dye, went out on Murdock heading toward the point of the Mountain. I feel like on all the long runs I've done, after mile 13 I just feel wrecked. Before that it doesn't feel bad, but after 13 I just feel tired. Feels good to be done for the week!

After debating for a long time of how far I can push myself, I decided that I would probably break in the next few weeks if I kept up the higher mileage stuff, so I decided to drop back to 55-65 miles for the next couple weeks til I feel ready to move up. 8 miles out on the provo river trail. after did some L 7 stretches for steeplechase! getting really excited for that but from the stretches I see that I am really unflexible 

Felt some weird hamstring tightness in the workout. 1600, 800, 400 x2 for me

runwith clayson. up to Mary Jane and then got a little loopy, then back down. got my hamstring all taped up and worked on

workout of 800, 4x400. felt decent. could feel my hamstring so I didn't push it at all and decided to do the minimum 400's that coach suggested (he said 4-6) all in about 62 or 61. 800 was in 2:16. Goal for saturday is going to be 8:20 presuming that my hamstring feels better. 

Nice easy run. 7:40 avg pace felt nice! legs are starting to feel pretty good after being wrecked for the past little while. I think mileage for this year will be between 55-65 with an occasional 70. just don't want to get injured

2 mile warmup, then got my hamstring taped up, and put heat on my back. Got spiked up, and then some strides.

The gun went off, and there was a ton of pushing and shoving for position, i got clipped and pushed a few times, but made it to the outside at the first turn, then decided to surge up near the front to get out of the mess. I found myself behind Zac Jacklin and held with him til the end. In the middle of the race I passed clayson and he took his number off his hip, and slapped it on me haha, so i took it off and slapped it back on him. Felt like I had more in me at the end, I think I should have and could have gone faster, just was a little nervous passing guys on the team that I felt were more experienced and faster than me. But overall a great race and very  happy with the race. 

8 mile cool down with Jake,  and Josh Collins and Christian ricketts from SUU

Provo river trail, with the team. after some L7 stretches and some other steeple drills. made me feel quite tired.  

Felt really good til my back tightened up but finished the workout. 2x2 mile, then a mile. first one was tempoish and we went 10:04, then we did a faster one and came through the mile in 4:42, then my back tightened up half a mile to go so i kind of died on that one and went 9:53, then the mile we went 4:52 i think. tough workout. my body is wrecked. I feel i'm not recovering as well as i should so wednesday I'm going to go really easy

had a dentist appointment so i ran at my house. Nice a chill

everything hurt. My legs felt as if they had been through a blender, and then raced all out a marathon, and then thrown back into a blender lol. But, I finished the workout. 6x800. 

2:18, 2:16, 2:14, 2:14, 2:12, 2:12. 

Honestly this workout was so tough just because of how my body felt. super brutal

Ran early and did 8 with the team. Then I went and biked for a little bit. Then did steeple drills and stretches. 

Long run early with the boys. went out 7 miles, then started a pickup. Coach said to just hold 5:30's but we ended up going 5:21, 5:14, and 5:06. and then just finished up the run. Felt suprisingly good. Breakfast afterwards with the team as we set team goals. 

Felt sick in the morning so I waited til I felt a little bit better and ran alone. Out on the train tracks and then looped it back for 10

Adam's warmup loop, then (1600, 1200, 800)x2. Honestly, how I felt I'm very impressed with what I did because I've got a cold. went 4:32, 3:21, 2:12, 4:38, 3:26, 2:11. 2 mile cool down. I'm just going 60 this week so that means I can go pretty short these next couple days.

Biked for half an hour before the run, then went out and ran just over 8. After did some steeple drills and I felt a lot smoother with the drills than I did before

Fartlek today. but my nose started bleeding so I just did the 10 minutes and went back to the subway to clean my face up. RIP. felt fit but it was just one interval. came through the two mile in like 9:50. 

Hilly run with clayson, casey, and kramer. Good times. Made me miss the good old Lone Peak days going up into the mountains and running most days. 

AM, just over an hour of some HOT yoga. The room was 105 and it made me very tired!

Nice run out in some pretty perfect weather! Shorts and an old soccer jersey, nothing better than running with that. Ran out, did backwards black trail kind of, then looped around to make it the forward version also, then ran past legacy, and on home. after the hot yoga felt kinda drained of energy, cuz I did it an hour and a half after finishing the yoga. 

Foot has been giving me a weird sensation, and then last week it was starting to hurt a bit, so I talked to the trainers and they suggested I cross train a few days, then see how it is. 1 hour of biking, did some pickups. also like 15 minutes of the arc trainer

another hour of biking. 

went in to do the exercise things for my foot (tendonitis), then headed out, then got a text from Adam Wood telling me to go back in and talk to TJ. So i did, and he asked how it was doing, I said it felt a little better without the pounding of running and that it feels less like there is a bump under my foot, and he said suddenly, that might be Morton's Neuroma. He then stretched my toes open, and had me walk and the bump was completely gone, and I almost didnt notice it. 

so good news is that I will be back running, just with little things inbetween my toes lol. Feeling blessed that it was something with an easy fix. 

Ran today, felt good, very little pain in my foot. 800, 4x400. 2:13, 63, 61, 61, 60. Good stuff!

Flew out to washington, then in the evening we did our run. went to a beautiful trail called discovery park. Felt pretty good, I feel that I can go right around 8:10 as long as my back doesnt go all wacky. 

Fun short run. Really pretty. My nose started bleeding though.

1.5 mile shakeout in the morning 2.5 warm up. Strides 3k race, went out hard. Was in 2nd and within the first 400 my body was already tired and wasn't responding, decided to try to hold on. Held on somewhat and then kicked. Next time gonna open in like a 66 and come through the mile in 4:23ish Then I think I can cruise the last part. 8 mile cooldown. Seattle is beautiful! Also got to talk to Talon Hull the Davis Slayer (he has a blog but hasn't been using it now)

30 minutes of biking before practice.

just over 10 miles in the freezing cold, windy outdoors.

steeple drills after. Also first time jumping hurdles, it honestly felt really weird but I'm sure after time of doing it I will get better

stretch, roll out, and ice bath after.  time seems to move pretty slow biking and ice bathing so I decided that what feels like 5 minutes on the stationary bike is actually only 1 minute passing by. what feels like 5 minutes of icebathing is 2.5 minutes passing by. what feels like 5 minutes of running is about 4 minutes passing by. what feels like 5 minutes of eating is 10 minutes actually. what feels like 5 minutes of being on my phone is actually 1 hour. lol.

Starting the doubles. 3.8 in the morning

Biked for half an hour before running.

This run felt like it took forever. Did carterville.  in the end it became quite cold. 

3.5 in the morning. super snowy but not that cold. 

lol already past last weeks mileage with this morning run

wu, 8x400, but felt bad so did 7x400. 61, 62, 61, 60, 61, 61, 61

Out to the canyon and back and then some strides with Kramer. Super weird cuz my back hurt and my breathing was bad for the first 7 miles, then all of a sudden it opened up and I could breath great! I don't understand why, but it's super nice when I can breath well!

wowzer, felt way tired. MCT

5x1000 and 2x400. Legs felt great today. Excited for Friday. I'll do the 5k.

Felt pretty great! could breath well, and the run was nice and enjoyable!

2x400 2x200. 65, 60, 28, 29. idk what happened on that first 400 lol. Getting ready for the 5k in washington! 

Beautiful run at greenlake! Started pouring and we got soaked but it was worth it. Strides at the end! Ready to race! Goal is 14:10 or faster

Early shakeout to get the legs moving. 2.1 miles

Warm up 2 miles

5k debut. Legs felt really good, back and breathing were alright. Also decided to chew some gum because that seems to help my back not tighten. Went out near the back of the pack holding 68's. Came through the mile in 4:33 and felt great! Held that and then with a mile to go started feeling pretty tired, and I honestly don't even remember what happened but one second the pack was there, then the next the pack was gone and I was following one person, so I tried to chase the pack down but was all alone. 1200 to go I my back started hurting and I felt that I could have possible put on more speed and maybe made it to the end, but I was worried I wouldn't make it and die, so I slowed down. Looking back I wish I would have just tried cuz I think I might have actually pulled it off. But I was going slow for the 1200-400 to go and then knew I could bring it in.

Not a bad first 5k. I think I could have gone to that next state when I was hurting and speed up instead of slowing down, if that feeling comes again I'll try that.

Overall happy with the performance

Ran with tanner Anderson from washington, the team from Arkansas and then lots of byu guys. Fun stuff. Went 4 before then did a 10 mile loop with them. Legs felt kinda tired bit not too bad for post race

Nice run, nothing too fast. Just 10 out to the canyon and back. Plan is to double today and go 5 so that I won't have to do as much come race day

1600, 1200, 800, 4x300. 4:32 3:21 2:12, 43, 43, 44, 46. Ribs were out which made it hard. But I saw the chiropractor so i feel much better now.

Normal run out to the canyon and back. Fit a massage before and also got mt back tailored up. Them also heated it. I just need to find a solution. It felt alright today

8 alone in the morning before leaving

Chill shakeout plus a couple strides in NC

2 mile warmup, 3k race, 10 miles after. 

Felt good in the race, I honestly was really scared about my back hurting so I didn't go with the leaders. We opened in 66, then 64, then I went 69, without realizing how slow it was. came through the mile in 4:29, then realized that my back wasn't hurting, and that I felt pretty good. Started picking it up from there and the 3rd place guy started dropping off so I was able to catch him at the end. Happy about the race because my back didnt hurt and I could breath. I think that's a sign of good things to come. Plan going forward is to start putting in some more mileage by going 3-4 in the morning and then 8ish in the afternoon. I think I just lack some mileage and base to be able to put together a few great races during outdoor track.

Nice little run in the morning

3.2 miles in the morning. 

4 and a quarter in the morning. my hips are wrecked cuz I went salsa dancing last night plus we did lots of steeple drills yesterday.

8x400. my breathing was pretty bad by the end, kinda frustrating but i'll figure it out. I guess at least it's not something that doesn't let me run at all. 62, 62 62, 61, 59, 62, 61, 30 (i just did a 200)

5.2 in the morning. felt pretty tired to start but after a couple miles felt a lot better.

just over 7 in the afternoon with the team. just with ryan cibart on the way back. 

10.1 in the morning on bonneville. Makes me miss the trails we always ran in high school.  After did some steeple stretches and jumped some hurdles. I feel like my right leg is a better lead and trail leg. also the hurdlers were practicing when I was going over the hurdles so they probably thought I was a dweeb lol. 

just over 3 in the afternoon with the team. got a massage on my back and neck trying to loosen it up and it hurt soo bad but hopefully it helps

Early in the morning, 10 with Lone peak then finished up the other 5 by myself. ready for sunday rest day!

3 easy in the morning.

8 in the afternoon. the team split up and it ended up being just me, mantz, mckay, and casey. I feel like I'm surrounded by champions!

steeple drills after. Felt pretty good going over the hurdles. 

4 in the morning. Felt suprisingly good.

Workout in the afternoon. I went to the chiropractor before and it seemed to help out some. Definitely the best workout for me in a long time. 4xmile. 4:45, 4:38, 4:34, 4:37. I can tell that I am really really fit, I just got to figure out the back/breathing problem completely. But really happy with the workout. Also on the second rep, i was behind zac jacklin and he clipped kramer's foot and did a studder and mckay was up on my shoulder so i had no were to go but try to stop, but i hit jacklin's foot and it rolled my ankle pretty good and I went like 5 meters of the awkward almost falling/trying to keep up and somehow I managed to stay up. My ankle kinda hurt but I think with the adrenaline and all it wasn't too bad but now it is feeling really really stiff.  

weights after.

Kinda a bummer, woke up in the morning and my ankle was super stiff so I didn't run.

In the afternoon I got it taped up and was told that I had to run on the alter G or on the grass so I chose grass and did 8 miles of grass loops. 

After I iced it and I think it should be good enough by tomorrow for the workout

goal was to do the first steeple workout but after talking to the trainer he said absolutely no way I could even try because of my ankle. so I did the workout with the 5k/10k guys. 6x800, 2x400 was what the workout was but my breathing was kinda bad so I ended up doing 3x800, then rested one then did the last 2 800's and then did 200, and then 400. went 2:13, 2:11, 2:09, rest, 2:10, 2:12, 30, 60.  Ankle felt fine for the most part. should be 100% by next week. 

8.2 in the morning cuz i have a test after

3.1 in the afternoon. felt pretty sluggish so I did some strides.

Super tired in the morning because I was up late at a campfire with some friends, but I made it to practice and got the 15 in. also very little to no pain in my ankle, it still is a little swollen and purple. 

Easy 4.2 in the morning. 

8.1 in the afternoon with the team. There was a bit of controversy but I think it's good now. Happy Monday everyone

Tired 3.06 in the morning.

8.5x1000. Did 5 then had to use the bathroom. Did half of the next cuz i made it out late, then did 2 more with the team, then did 1 by myself for what I missed. all were pretty quick. I was a bit worried cuz my breathing was all haywire the first one but it didnt get any worse so I was able to do it.

3.1 in the morning, I did grass loops yesterday at intramural field, then we also did our workout there so I decided to go to the track and do loops on that field. Found Mantz there and we went 2 together on the field. 

8 more in the afternoon. feeling tired

Workout in the morning with Clayson.  5x800 with the last lap over hurdles. felt pretty clunky at first but afterwards got more into the groove. went between 68-72 for the first 400 and 71-74 over the hurdles. Definetly gonna focus on getting the technique down better because when I first started going over I feel like I completely forgot what I was doing and started jumping more vertical instead of forward. 

Wow, lots of news in like 2 hours. we'll start with the good and end with the bad. Good: we had our first day of practice for XC 2020. The fuel card still works! I have time to build and get really fit! Bad: that's cuz track is cancelled.  4 in the afternoon with the team. Crazy stuff

Ran Fire Road with clayson in the morning. Super beautiful! Ran into Tawny which was fun! I guess the good thing about no track season is I can hit up the trails! Also, Clayson decided to bomb it on the downhill, so I followed along, our last half mile was 2:14 haha. 

Quite a run. Ran from my house, did extended mountain run backwards, then ran up to middle spring, then looped around, and got back on mountain run, ran down by Lone Peak and back home. Lots of vert in comparison to what we normally have been doing at BYU which made it tiring. But trails are why I love running so it was quite beautiful!

Went on Bonneville to Battlecreek, and then back to Kramer's house.  Lots of trails and lots of vert these past couple days

2x(1200, 800) 3:36, 2:20, 3:36, 2:18. Fitness seems really good, form was pretty bad. I started going all Kenyan style jumping the barriers. 

They are shut down the locker room and the student athlete building so I decided to head home. just ran from my house, a nice 10 miles. 

Not the greatest run. Went out planning on doing a 5 mile tempo, but my back started hurting so I decided to just call it. oh well. 

Went with my high school team, they started going pretty quick so I just followed along. A couple miles sub 5:30. 

just out and about. 

also my sister moved up her wedding date a month and is getting married on wednesday, and my bro is coming home from chile because of the corona virus... crazy stuff

Went out towards AF, found Katie and Jake bybee. Then on the way back found the other LP squad. Also RYBY said that all Lone Peak alumni that break 4:45 get an elite miler shirt.

Took the rest of last week off because I was feeling pretty beat up. Just a nice easy run today and will slowly build up.

My brother got home from Chile yesterday. He plans on trying to walk onto the BYU team which would be fun to have a brother on the team with me. 

3.2 in the morning with my bro. then 7.1 in the afternoon with some strides.

Nice run on Bonneville!

Went out from my house down to Cosco and back. I had to weed whack before leaving so I did that right after the first session of conference, then ran, then got back 8 minutes before the next session so I had just enough time to shower and get there for the next session. I ended up going pretty quick on this one.

4 miles in the morning with Josh, felt super sluggish at first but then started feeling better

10.3 in the afternoon. I think I have a rib out cuz it's hard to breath and my back hurts like it has every other time a rib has been out. 

Went with Kramer on Bonneville and then a mile and a half up Grovecreek. It was quite the climb.

My ankle was kinda wacked out... so I decided to bike. I went from my house up over suncrest and down it, then turned right around and biked up that beast from the back side and then headed home. It was almost 29 miles and it took me 2 hours and 10 minutes. I felt so drained at the end. It was way hard. I feel like that's got to be how it feels at the end of a marathon. I climbed 1200 feet in 2.5 miles then went down the backside and went right back up climbing 800 feet in 1.5 miles. Not a good idea for someone who never gets on a bike. 

no run, just some biking but nothing like yesterdays. My ankle feels better than yesterday but I think that today would be smart not to run. I'll run a bit tomorrow and bike and see how it goes.

5 in the night. ankle felt better but not great

Beautiful run, but at mile 11 I rolled my ankle again pretty good and it shook it up pretty bad. Most of the time I can just run through a rolled ankle but I had to stop and walk for a second and then hobbled back. gotta get it fixed up. I'll probably tape it up for a few days when I run so that it can't get turned

testing out the ankle. it hurt some but it doesn't feel like it wants to roll like it did before. 

3.5. Ankle and shin hurt

started back up again today. I tried running last week twice but my ankle was bugging me and for some reason my shin was too. I decided to not run the rest of the week and started up again today. Felt pretty good today. ankle felt kind of weak and a dull pain but not the sharp nagging pain of last week. happy about that I may try to run 2 or 3 more miles later today. 

3.1 in the morning before taking my last final... I got a 96% on the last final so that made me pretty happy! Plan is to go 3-4 more this evening. 

4 more in the evening

ran to the lp track and paced the Lone Peak team in their time trials. the first group of guys wanted me to pace them at 65, so I took them through 1000 at that pace, then I paced the girls at 79's, I did 1200 with them. then I paced the guys for 70's and went 800 with them. good stuff. 

Ankle and foot didn't feel the best so just went 4. 

almost no pain in my ankle! loved today's run, super pretty and reminded me why I do love doing this.

Ankle didn't feel so great today, neither did my back, but I got it done, rest tomorrow and back at it on monday. 

Went 7 and did 2 400's @ 70 pace then kicked it in for fun. then ran back to my house.

went 6 in the afternoon. think I'll probably pace the high schoolers in their mile time trial. I think I'll be running 65's-66's. 

Went up the wall... it's like an average of a 24% grade. It's brutal

Went to AF canyon and then decided I didn't want to climb so I flipped around after a mile, and just cruised the rest of the run at a good clip.

10 miles right after work. Didnt feel like o was going fast but averaged a 6:38 pace which is kinda quick for a recovery run

Plan was to just do 7 or 8 but then I decided to run in Salt Lake because I had to go take the Ornamental and Turf test at the Utah Department of Agriculture in Salt Lake. Soo, I searched for a trail and found one that branched off all over the place and ran on that. It was wayyyy pretty and I want to run it again. The only problem was there were a ton of bikes that I either had to pass or they were going the opposite way and I had to pass them .

Went out on bonneville. Tried to make sure that I was going a calm pace, cuz when I run alone, I generally run fast, so today I tried to keep nice and calm. 

Tried to pick it up some but my back was giving me problems and it felt like I have a rib out again. Couldn't breath well.  

5 easy with my brother. 

Started from my house, went out to Lehi Dip, then to Legacy and back. I saw tons of people I knew, including Dustin our trainer, he was in his truck and slowed down and we talked for a minute until another car come along. 

felt like dying on this run. IDK if I was just exhausted, hot, dehydrated, sick, or what, but I tried to do an 800 and a couple 400's but I couldn't get faster than a 70 on the 400. Then finishing up the milage, I couldn't barely run 7:30's, the last 1.5 miles I think was like 7:50 avg and I was giving everything I had. hopefully it feel better tomorrow. 

climbed mahogany. i hiked/ran it. Some parts were impossible to run. I'd say i was in the running motion for about half of it, then a quick hike for the other part. (it's 2.6 miles up and you gain 3800 ft)  I also think that I've got a rib out again and that might be why i feel so wrecked

Went out to lone peak, then to the canyon, then back to my house. Legs felt like post super hard leg day. 

Paced Jaron Hartshorn in the mile today. He's a freshman at Lone Peak and paced him to a 4:20.9 (it was also kinda windy) I'm very impressed, he's gonna be insanely fast cuz he still doesn't train that much, he has plenty to grow. to put it in perspective, the fastest time in the state as a freshman before was Grant Gardiner with 4:21, then Connor Mantz with 4:22, then Mckay Johns with 4:23... so he's up with good company. 

After I paced Reagan for a 5:10 mile. Then I ran a 400 and then did 3 laps at like 4:50 pace. then cooled down

Crazy stuff, twice this week while I was spraying lawns for work I saw byu runners. First brandon Garnica, and then today fellow blogger ethan cannon.

Went and did a chill trail called mountain run today. Felt nice to just chill

Fun run up in the canyon with LP. Next week plan is to bump up to 65, then drop to 60, then get to 70 miles after that. also saw a moose on the run

3 in the morning.

8.5 in the afternoon after work. ran with Josh and Collin. Good times! 

6 in the morning

4 in the afternoon with the Spencer Smith up on Bonneville. Reminded me of the good old days. 

Alpine loop with Josh

Didn't feel very good...

With clayson

On murdock with Josh for 3, then I kept going, he turned back for 6.

Forgot my watch but went 12 with Aidan, Ammon, Dalton, and Grant then added on a mile. Pretty quick pace 

Went up hogs with my bro and jack, then on the way down we met Isaac, Nice and chill. Plan is  60 this week

Further than planned and a little quicker

Very interesting run. I saw like a bajillion people that I knew. then I also did some barefoot grass loop miles and on my last loop a group of girls that were slack lining joined me lol. I was gonna do some this morning but I slept through my alarm at 5:15, but still got up in time for work. Tomorrow I don't have time after work to run so I'll be running at like 4:45ish. 

8 in the morning at 4:45... don't like doing that, I just didn't have enough time after work unless I were to go at like 10:30pm.

4 with dalton Brems in the afternoon right between work and a web meeting. 

Saw Liza twice on my run... I think she was stalking me... but makes sense, I would stalk me if I could lolol jk jk. 

Lehi dip plus 2x200 meter strides. 

A nice little loop plus 3 laps on the track. felt pretty good.

Felt pretty good today. I ran out by deerfield, then to lone peak, did a mile on the track, then back home. All the high school cheerleaders were out so I pretty much slayed them with my 6 pack and good looks lolol.... not really, although there were a couple cat calls haha. 

I could feel my foot and ankle but it wasn't too bad 

Had a bone graft for my missing tooth on thursday so I couldn't run thursday or yesterday. 

foot was bugging me some today

I had some Launch 2's from high school that only had like 50 miles on them because they hurt my achilles, but I really liked the cushioning so I decided to cut part of the back and wore them today. felt pretty good. 

choked and didn't run today....

a beautiful run in cali up a nice little mountain. 10/10 would recommend

another beautiful run, we went towards a resevoir but it was closed off

pretty speedy, honestly felt really good. I wish I would feel like this every day... Also my team  was crowned champion of the Petersen family faceoff

We had to put Timber our dog to sleep, so my dad and I went to bury him, then I just ran straight after that, enjoyable run going from point A to B.

Went pretty chill, but didn't feel too good, I think I got a couple ribs out again... what a bust.

Plan was 8, I just ran to every grass field I knew that was close and did 1 loop on it and then headed to the next, added up to 10 miles

busy day. ran 4 in the morning, long day at work (10 hours), then some time working on a possible business idea, then night run, then bed. weekly mileage will be 60 this week

Ran pretty much right after our team meeting, was still tired from work, and my brother was in a rush so he pushed the pace. Pretty tired rn.

4 in the morning

6 of grass loops in the afternoon before meeting up with a friend to run 3 more. 

Bad timing. I ran 5 minutes after dinner and only allotted 50 minutes to run 8.5 miles, so I ended up cutting it short. 

13.5. Felt pretty tired. Longest run in a long time, and also quickest long run in a good minute

9 in the morning at 4:30. kinda tired lol

4 in the afternoon with my brother. 

a little over 5 miles barefoot on the grass at creekside. then a little over 3 with steven, a high school buddy. while doing the grass loops i did 1 800 fast, i think it was probably just under 2:20

plan was to go 6 then changed to 8, then 10. 

lol, went into Saratoga for an appointment after work but had about 40 minutes before my appointment so I went out running... in my Khaki shorts and all lol. luckily wore my peg 33's to work today so I had those to run in

rolled my left ankle yet again... hurts quite a bit right now. hopefully i can run tomorrow fine. ran with the team because I had work off because of pioneer day

Ankle was starting to get really stiff so I went on a mile shakeout at creekside. hoping that it'll hold up fine for tomorrow's long run

12 miles on hogs. good times. hoping garmin gets fixed soon

10.3 at 4:30 in the morning... RIP me

5.7 in the afternoon barefoot at Lakeside park

Stayed out late skating so I didn't make it up at 4 to run... 

So I ran after work. Felt kind of tired. And my watch for some reason wasn't tracking distance. idk why

Watch stil isn't working, used the strava app to track the run but it messed up a little. Felt pretty tired on the way back, probably cuz it was all up hill. 

4.3 before work

8.2 after

much needed lazy friday. 6 miles

Slept through my alarm, I was planning on going with the BYU team, but then just ran backwards mountain run, then middle spring, and back down on the road. The trail for mountain run is way overgrown which made it hard to go quick. also they were doing some thing up there and had a bunch of rocks laid out and I had to walk over that so I didn't fall. 

Pretty hot cuz I ran at 4:30. Had to get back for an investment training so I went kinda quick. 

did 8x1k today. I was honestly pretty lost at what pace I would be able to do them at. I was planning on the first one at like 3:15-3:20 then try to hold around 3:10-3:15. But it was a lot better than that. I went 3:11, 3:06, 3:13, 3:05, 3:05, 3:04, 3:09, 3:04. Felt like physically I could have done more, my back was tightening up a bit so I decided to call it with that. Happy with where I'm at and the progress I will have. 

Late run because I had a meeting to learn how to make smart investments. Anyways, running wise went up on Bonneville, then looped down by AF canyon and then to Lone Peak and back to my house. Ended up cruising starting mile 6 so I decided to do a nice little tempo from mile 6-9. Then just chill into my house. 

MLR

4 in the morning, 10 in the afternoon

tempo that wasn't the best. back tightened up and couldn't breath.

should have gone more

Deer creek with the team. Good times. 

AM: ran at 4:20am. 12.1. Got kind of nervous because I was right up next to the mountain and there were no street lights and heard lots of noise in the bushes. But the sky was amazing, saw Venus and Orions belt. haha i don't know many others so i was happy with that.

PM: 7.5 with Clayson. Plan was 5 in the afternoon, then changed to 6 since I was going with Clayson, then changed to 7.5 while on the run

10.5 in the morning.

5 in the afternoon at lakeside park

First 5 with kramer, mantz, casey, and tfrank. last 3 alone

lazy thursday feel

8 in the morning, plan was to do the workout but my back was hurting so i figured just didstance would be better.

4.3 in the afternoon with josh... check out my strava pic

kinda weird long run, ran to byu, then we headed to murdock, waited like 30 minutes, then ran. I ran down to PG to watch my sister run. She did pretty good

Workout with the team. Warmed up 2.5, then did 8x1000, then a 500, then finished the last 1000. Best 1000 repeat workout I've had, averaged around 3:04. 

3:10, 3:09, 3:10, 3:07, 3:04, 3:04, 3:01, 3:01, 1:29 (500), then 3:04. I got dropped by like 15 seconds on the last 1000 haha they cooked it in. But I am very happy with the workout. I havent ever gotten close to finishing the 10x1000, but today I did 9.5. 

Indian trail

good ol deer creek

am workout.

10, 5, 3, 2, 1. Felt pretty good. Stayed up right near Casey, Clayson, and Kramer the whole time. 

PM: double on the pipeline trail.

started from tibble and went up towards pittsburg lake.

did not feel good. tummy was rumbling and my back was kinda tight

4 in the morning, felt really sluggish

8 in the afternoon with some strides

Nice enjoyable 4 miles in the am.

4x mile. Felt pretty good, back tightened up pretty bad at the end. still came through in a 4:53

AM: went out 5 on the provo river trail, and then did a different loop back so I could do some strides on the provo track.

4 more in the afternoon with the team

4.2 in the morning, like 8 minute pace cuz I found the pro group warming up for their workout and I joined in the warmup with them.

Workout was supposed to be 2.5 mile tempo, 5 min rest, 2.5 tempo. Went 12:33 for the first tempo, then did a mile of the next tempo, but my back was hurting and couldn't breath so I rested .5 then hopped in the last mile. Kinda dissapointed with my back that it's hurting again.

Ran out with the team, then did some strides

Good run out to provo canyon and up it for about 3 miles. Went a little fast on the way back

Found out my brother (who is my roommate) has corona virus so I now have to quarantine so I won't be running with the team for a little bit. hopefully I don't get it too. 

I'm in quarantine at my house... 8.5 out to legacy and back

Felt kinda tired, but luckily beat the storm. 

8.1 in the morning, might go another 4ish in the evening

4 in the evening. Felt really tired. i don't know why

went on bonneville and then half a mile up battle creek, that thing is steep

10.4 of grass loops

Shins were hurting and I felt like i was about to pass out most of the day. don't know why

AM, just over 5k. had to run to the fieldhouse to grab more shoes, my pegs #5 are all done

PM: 8 miles

AM: 3.3 miles-5 laps on the intramural field 

PM: out to the railroad tracks and ran next to them, one of my favorite runs

Don't know why but I feel super tired and it seems to take so much energy to run.

8 in the PM. Went out on carterville. Every run this week has seemed so tough, and I've also had stomach issues each day... I wonder if i'm getting sick.

Definitely the best I've felt this week. First 3ish miles I still felt like garbage but then after I started feeling alright. No major stomach issues today. #blessed

3 in the afternoon with my brother. Felt fine again.

Finally feeling like my old self. I think I just ate something bad. 

Did a 5 mile loop and then went out to the canyon and back. Felt pretty decent.

Good times in the morning with the broski. 4.2

Plan was 10, but the groups were either going 11 or 8 so I just went 11. 10.5 plus strides then ran back to the school. 

3 in the morning in some new vomeros.

Honestly I was in a lot of pain running yesterday and today so I didn't even know if I could do the workout. Luckily it wasn't too bad. The first one I didn't feel good, but after that the pain seemed to go away some. Its in my lower abdomen.

5k in the morning

5 later on in the afternoon.

3 in the morning

Race. wasn't amazing but wasn't bad... I haven't felt all that great for the past few weeks. For the first 3.3 miles I was the front of the chase pack (behind mantz and casey) but I think my lack of workouts and lack of good race strategy played out to my disadvantage, Clayson was right there most of the time but wouldn't take the lead from me. Died pretty hard the last mile. Just felt sluggish and like I hadn't raced in a while... good rust buster though.

Plan was just to do 6 this morning, then I decided to do 75 this week instead of 70 so I did 5 in the afternoon. 

Fun run from hope to hobble. longest run ever

3 in the morning with josh

8 in the afternoon with the team

3x 2 mile. I think it was a little short but i guess it's off of effort. Went 9:59, 9:55, 9:45. After the 2nd 2 mile I was hurting, but I felt better on the last one. Also shout out to mantz for bringing me some vitamin c pills to take with the iron.

Just 8

Good ol' lake loop tempo today. First time I've done the whole thing, ran it in about 25:13. went 5:07, 5:05, 5:07, 5:00, 4:54. 

AM: loops on the grass around the track, (4.6)

PM: even slower loops around the track on the grass. (5.4)

Went out and found airport loop. Kept forcing my self to slow down cuz I didn't want to go very quick on the run, kept miles 4-10 between 6:01- 6:10. Then I decided to just speed up. good times

4 in the morning, 2 with josh, 2 back by myself

10 plus some strides. in the afternoon. feels like I've got a rib out again

6x800 at Kiwanas. Pretty tough with the hills. Also, my rib was out and just kinda felt like trash so rough workout. 2:25, 2:24, 2:21, 2:24, 2:27, 2:27

3 in the morning. Felt bad

10.2 in the afternoon

3 in the morning by myself

2x(mile 1200 800) equal rest. went 4:45, 3:33, 2:19, 4:46, 3:32, 2:13. Everyone was raging that last 800 so I went with. Pacing was pretty awful today, for both the miles we went like 2:28-2:29 then raged the last 800 lol. 

LAY-Z FRYDAI. nice and easy in the morning before coming to school
