Wage War On Slow Running

AM- 3.00 miles.

PM- 7.92 at 6:19 pace. I think this was our run to Timp in the rain which was sick! Tanner's trail was so slick. .5 in strides.

AM-2.41.

PM- 1.00 mile warmup, 6 800's (3.01 distance), 1.00 mile cooldown.

AM- 2.9 miles.

PM- 5.04 at 6:55 pace. .52 in strides.

AM-3.03 miles.

PM- 3.01 at 7:18 pace. Three 200m strides in my neighborhood was .39 in distance.

Pre-Footlocker at AF High. I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but I think I need to be training harder because I stopped training as hard after region ended. I'm going to start preparing way harder for Arizona and Foot Locker. I don't know my time or my place yet, but Ali beat me and I was fourth man on the team so I know I wasn't as fast as I should have been. I ran a 1.01 warmup, my watch measured the race as 3.32 but it must have been off because I heard it was pretty close to 3.2. 2.04 cooldown. Got Mcdonald's with the team after so that was fun.

Slept through my morning run alarm somehow but after school I ran 9.01 at 6:47 pace with .54 in strides. 

2.88 morning run. Did a 1.67 warm up for the reaper, then hit it. It was super hard and I felt like I had no energy, and I think I was sore from my run Monday. I ran about a 9:28 so fifth after Ali, Tyler, Riley and Reed. 2.16 cooldown. Next time I'm going to do way better. 

2.58 morning run. We did a speed workout for afternoon and did a 1.18 warmup. Before we ran something funny happened. This special needs guy was walking around by the red center and Matt Eisley yelled "Payton Henry sucks!"at him. He turned toward us and cussed us out and then started running toward us, but he thought I said it so he started coming toward me and hit me, but I pointed at Matt and then he started chasing Maya. It was pretty hilarious.

The workout was 30 30's. Got 3.12, had no sleep because of election night the night before. 1.01 cooldown. 

3 mile morning run. For our afternoon run we decided to drive up to Kiwanis and do a trail run. We parked Riley'a truck and then this little gray car pulled up by us. This old dude, who was smoking and had two dogs in the car, rolled down his window and said "A truck full of half naked guys, you guys just made my week." We talked to him for a while and he said one of dogs he wanted to throw off the interstate, the other dog minded him better than he minded the lord. Some other funny stuff got said and he cussed a lot but he seemed like just a funny nice dude. Tyler asked his name and he said Adams but then he said "Saul T. Sinner" not sure if he mean that as a name of just that he's a salty sinner. Not making this stuff up. 

We ran to three story and back, 7.9 miles. Then .54 in strides. We also had the banquet tonight, which was great.

2.88 morning run. Afternoon was a speed workout, we did 4 1200 repeats with a mile warmup/cooldown. Hit exactly 8 miles for the day.

For Saturday morning we did a 30 minute run. I was pretty tired but my run was a 6:30 pace for 4.64 miles so decent pace. We played frisbee afterward (which I measured as well) and I did this sick thing where I kicked the frisbee as it was flying at me from behind, then it went up into the air and I caught it. It was the best moment of my life.

It's been a while, running blog. Morning run, afternoon run, strides on this day.

Afternoon run.

Morning run, speed workout in the afternoon.

First day of our stellar Arizona trip. About a 4-mile run in Kanab, which, in fact, not bacon spelled backwards. 

Second day of our Arizona trip. Did a morning run in Page, which was a great change of pace from PG. Ran the course in the afternoon.

I was sick for a week leading up to this race, and I knew that it would be tough. In spite of that, I kept a good attitude about the race. I ran about a minute slower than I should have, but it was a fun course and I'm not too broken up about it. Sat. night we had fight night (boxing) and did some freestyling which was a good time. 

Wrecked from NXR and wearing old, work shoes so only went 5.

Reaper! Still sick. 9:26, so decent. 

My parents bought me some Brooks Launch 3's down in St. George because we found a good deal and my Kinvara's were thrashed. Also Thanksgiving was excellent.

Ran about 7 miles at a slower pace when I got back from St. George, mainly to try out my new Brooks. Like 'em.
