One Mile at a Time

Fun race today. Picked up Jared and Nicole then got Riley, Ali and Jackson from the highschool then headed down to Provo. Chilled a little then warmed up. Got to the front of the line and talked to some people like Talem Franco from BYU and Luke Johnston from Westlake also some Skyridge people. Went out super fast just to be in the front for a little which was pretty fun. 4:54 first mile. 16:07 was my time. Recovered by doing the course backwards. It was a good time.

PM- Finished up to 10 then watched 4 Minute Mile with Jared. It was pretty good.

Good run today. I felt a little tired from yesterday but it was okay. Started out as me, Jared and Ali and someone was really pushing the pace. Turns out it was Ali and when he went 5:50 we told him to slow down but he said he wanted to gap the people behind us by more. Reed and Brady caught up to us at about 3 or 3.5. We went out four miles on the canal headed south and came back the same way. We kept a 6:33 pace. Got back and did barefoot strides. Josh Gardner and Joe Benson as well as some other Timp guys were at our school getting a drink so I talked to them for a little. Weight, wall sits and shin splint stuff after.

PM- 1.1 mile warm up then 200 easy 200 hard 8 times. Ended up being around 2.2. Mile cooldown. Stretched than took an ice bath after. Shoutout to Connor, Spanky and Justin who visited my house while I was at Arctic Circle with Case, Jared and Clain. Sorry I missed you.

1.1 mile warmup. 7 1200s with a 3 minute rest inbetween. The sprinklers were on the entire time on a good section of it so we were going a litle slower because the grass was so slick. Jared actually slipped and fell twice it was so wet. Mile cool down backward on the track just so we weren't on the wet grass. Abs and wall sits after.

Coach wasn't there today so we just ran wherever we wanted. We decided to run towards Dry Canyon. Jared, Ali and I ran up the Reaper and everyone else drove. We still went farther then them which was annoying that the other guys aren't pushing it. Strides once we got back and then abs, wall sits and shin splint excercises.

PM- Mile warm up then speed excercises with 400s mixed in. Coach said to count the excercises as mileage so I did. Mile cool down. We don't get that big of a turn out to the second practice but that makes sense since people aren't pushing it at the regular practice.

Great speed workout today. We did a mile warmup then a butterfly. I think that's what coach called it. We did a 1200, 1000, 800, 400, 800, 1000, 1200. I went pretty fast today and was able to stay in first for all of them. Cooled down then stretched. I have physical therapy at 10:30 so hopefully that goes well.

Met at the high school at 5:30 so we could go to Heritage Park in Cedar Hills to help with the Timp Half. We got there and played frisbee waiting for the guy to bring water but he never did. Coach had us split into groups and do stuff so Riley, Jared and I were assigned to wait where we were to see if the guy ever came. We waited until 7 then bailed. By bailed I mean we decided to do our run. I tried to go on one of Lone Peaks runs the Alpine Loop(?) but couldn't quite remember it. It was still a good time. Then we ran part of the Half course for distance. Also, we met Tyson Green on the trail which was really cool. He ran with us for a mile so it was fun talking to him. We swam after our run at coach's after going to Daylight and Walmart. Good run today. Coach wasn't happy we just left though but he's fine now. Physical therapy went well and after doing some excercises for a little my back should be fine.
