One Mile at a Time

High adventure until Thursday. Will log my miles afer.

3 mile shake out. I was going to go pretty slow but it didn't feel good so I sped up. Splits were 6:40, 6:38 and 6:41. I felt pretty good after the little brake I took because of high adventure. I was going to run there but there were a couple reasons that I didn't so I felt okay not running. The Strawberry days 5k will have a good top 10 ish it looks like with Brady Olson who runs at SUU as well as Casey's little brother Carson and some of the other PGXC guys like Riles, Brain, Jerry, Reed and Ali. It should be a good time running with the boys and I'm guessing we will stay clumped and all finish top 10. I've got some 600s to do later tonight and I need to do some abs.

1600 warm up then 8x600s with a two minute rest inbetween followed by a 1600 cool down. Running a 1:55 600 is a 16:00 5k and a 2:02 is a 17:00 5k and we were supposed to run at 5k pace. My splits were 1:54, 49, 55, 55, 59, 55, 58, 56. It felt really good and I dind't get kid napped even though it was dark. Going to use the stick now.

Today we met at coach's shop at 7 to go to Willow Park in Lehi. I hate Willow Park so much. I'm not really sure why but running there is just so tough. On the way out we ran with a decently sized pack but on the way back it was Riles and both Matts and me. Brady and Reed went farther then we did. We cut the run a little short because of the 5k tomorrow and didn't go as fast for the same reason. 6.01 miles with a 6:55 average pace. The only good thing about Willow Park is we go to the Lehi Bakery after and I got two maple bars and they were so good. Went back to the highschool then to the fire department with Riles, Nicole and Matt for packet pick up. Tonight me and Riles are doing our recovery run on the 5k course just to see what it's like. Good luck to all the homies running Ragnar! 

Ali and I got pizza for the carbs like Spencer Palmer always did and we decided not to run the course so we just drove it.

Today was the Strawberry Days 5k. The PG runners met at coach's shop at 6:00 and ran to the course for a mile warmup. We had about 9 guys running it. My legs felt pretty tired about halfway in and I think it's because I didn't run three of the days this week. The course was only 3 miles and I finished with a 17:41.6. My runner card said I took 7th because Jericksen didn't register so that put me up a place but I've gone over the people ahead of me and my card should say 8th not 7th. It's weird but whatever. I was 6th from PG. Brady won then Riley, Carson Clinger, Ali or Brian, Josh, Ali or Brian, Jared, Reed then me. I'm happy with the how the race went without training the whole week. After some of us chilled around the finish line then did a one mile cool down back to the high school. At the high school we played frisbee until the parade which we handed out fliers for. After the parade Matt, Brady and I ran back to the high school to get our cars which was 1.57. Good job to everyone who ran Ragnar!
