One Mile at a Time

Freedom Run today. Jared and I did a 1.54 mile warmup part of which Eugune accompanied us. We drained our legs for 10 minutes and did some other warmups then went to the race line. Riley and I held back just a little at the start because the pace was way faster than we wanted. Racing a 10k was harder than I thought but it was pretty fun. The end was ruff because there were so many 5k people. I got 34th running a 38:58. It was pretty fun. Cooled down with Connor, Asa, Jared, Eugene and Adam. Took lots of pictures after, I guess I'm in high demand because I'm so photogenic or something. Chilled for a while and talked to Gan and Sami for a little so that was fun. Shoutout to Harambe who got a trophy. He's definitely my favorite gorilla. Going to roll out and do a three ish mile recovery tonight.

Speed workout today. A little over a mile warmup then 6x1000 with a 600 as active rest. Slower pace than I wanted today but I'm a little sore from yesterday. Little over a mile cooldown. Abs after and wall sits. I don't have work today so it will be easier to do a recovery run.

PM- 2.25 miles very easy out to the old church by the pond and back. I went very slow and it felt great. I think we might be running Molly's tomorrow so that will be fun. Also shout out to Jared for not coming on the recovery run with me.

We planned on going to Molly's but I guess that's our Friday run. Still wanted to do trails so Brady, Justin, Jared, Riley, Matt, Preston and I went up the Reaper and right to head towards dry canyon. The extreme terrain proved too difficult for Jared and he turned around to go somewhere else. Vefore we even hit the main trail we lost Preston. Brady and Justin took off so the run was with Matt and Riley. It was way steeper than I remembered. We didn't quite make it to Dry Canyon but that's okay. Finished up on the grass for 7 miles. If any of you want to run Molly's we are on Friday. We meet at 7:00 in front of the woodshop which is the turn where the seminary building is.

PM- 3.28 miles out to Manila Pond. Ran alone because Jared is at Lagoon and Casey is off for the week. Ready for a good speed workout tomorrow.

Today was a great workout. We met at the high school then did a 1.3 mile warmup to Anderson Park. The workout was 16 buddy 400s. We had a loop just over 200 meters we would do twice. My buddy was Riley. We went pretty fast and finished first and lapped I think everyone at least once. My average was 5:15 so I was happy about that. The 16 400s brought me to 4.3 miles so I did a 1.4 mile cooldown to get to 7 miles. Abs after and then wall sits. Running Molly's tomorrow so that'll be a good time. Also shout out to Jared for coming up with lots of tatoo ideas for Ali!

PM- Same direction as usual for recovery. Was going to go 3 but was feeling strong so I went crazy and hit 3.01.

We ran to Molly's today through Anderson Park up by Ali's house. Came back down the same way then went down to the track and ran around the rec center up the drag to hit 7 with Ali and Riley. Stretched after and discussed whether or not fish sleep. Ali and I thought they did and Jared said they didn't. Ethan said they didn't but Ali said he didn't run fast enough today so his opinion didn't matter.

PM- 2.56. Needed to get some in before work or else I would've gone 3.

Got up early to run with Jared because we were going boating for young mens. We headed out towards Timp taking Tanner's Trail. Out 4.5 ish then came back the same way. We didn't talk much for some reason but it was a good run and even though it was quiet I could just feel Jared's happiness radiating out from him. 6:45 average pace. The run felt harder than I expected and by the end my legs were just dead. Finishing up to 60.01 tonight.

PM- 2.42. Finished up the week with some good mileage. Cross country camp next week should be fun.
