Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials

The group went pretty slow today so me and Collin left them. Went down Sami's road but Collin turned around at 2.5 and I kept going by myself. Turned around at 4 and started going back. Today was the wrong day to not bring a jacket and I froze. So I used Watson's saying "the faster you run the sooner you're done." Checked out this "trail" but it ended up being someone's driveway lol. It warmed up and stopped snowing the closer I got to the high school which was nice. I decided to go back down through the pit to get to 9 but quickly found out that was the worst decision of the century. My shoes soon became 5 pound mud weights and I didn't want it to get worse so I climbed my way out up the side of the mountain, pretty adventurous I know. Ended up being 9 miles at 6:48 average pace. 10 minutes on the bike and a good roll out session with Collin who also hooked me up with some KT tape, what a great guy

Went to Runners Corner during 3rd and talked to Hawk! Pumped to be able to work with him, he really knows his stuff. Got some Kinvara 6s on sale. Came back and ran. Turned around at 3.5 with Michael while everyone else ran to the temple. Did 2 when we got back with .5 barefoot to get 9 at 7:00 average pace. 10 min bike and upper body

Warmed up 2 miles then did 2 sets of 200, 400, 200 at 800 pace for the 200s and mile pace for the 400s. Lunges before and in between sets, rest was 45 sec and 3 min in between sets. Splits were 28, 68, 31 and 30, 64, 30. First set was a little off but second set was great! Pretty easy workout, it was fun and sick to have Connor Baller there! Cool down to 4 with half mile barefoot. Hit the bikes for 45 min then did some squats and pull-ups to get swole

Went and saw Race in the theaters with my bro. It's about Jesse Owens the sprinter and it got me stoked

Started during lunch cuz I had a date after school. Ran up killers and to the church by skyridge. Stretched and turned around there. Went back and did a lil at the pit and then to the turf for a barefoot .5 mile. Really consistent, 7:00 average pace. Went horseback riding for our date and it was amazing. Saw some deer, bunny rabbits, and antelope. It was pretty sick. Didn't kiss her if anyone was wondering haha I might go back there some Mondays and run while my dad and sis ride. Got back and did some upper body lifting

8.5 miles at 7:07 average pace then 5X150m build ups on the track. Biked 10 min after

70 min Saturday. Met up with the Hinckleys and Thom, biked to Olympic Park. Ran on a dirt trail for a lil then connected to the Jordan River trail. Worked up some pretty good hills and it felt great, 7:05 avg pace. Biked back to my house for a protein shake and some ping pong
