Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials

Mile warmup. Drills, stretches. 2 mile tempo, 4:59, 4:59 for 9:58. Then 8X400 with 90 sec rest. 63, 62, 63, 65, 65, 67, 66, 66. Then 4X200, 30, 29, 29, 27. Felt awful, started cramping around the 5th 400 and I haven't recovered enough from Saturday. One of those times when running really just sucks. 1.5 mile cool down.

Biked 20 miles with my mom, JRT to Saratoga and back, very windy

To the golf course, a couple barefoot on the grass, then back. 5 miles, 5:55 average. Last 2 were 5:40 and 5:25

Mile warmup. Easy 5 miles with Luke and some skyridge peeps on their warmup and cool down. Drove to skyridge after for abs, hips, and rolling out.

Evening run. Went on the deer trail behind the golf course, a lot of construction since the last time I was there. I think they'll be building soon which makes me kinda sad/mad. Looped back on the JRT. Stomach felt horrible, but other than that I felt smooth. 5 miles, 6:35 average pace.

Drove to Big Bear Lake in California, about 7000 ft elevation. Ran on the highway around the lake, breathtaking scenery. 10 min easy, 40 min tempo, 12ish min cool down. Really hilly so that didn't help my already tight calves. Felt surprisingly good tho for being in the car all day. 10.5 miles, 5:53 average pace, average pace for the tempo was around 5:35

Went to Huntington Beach, did my run on the trail along the beach. 7 miles, 6:35 average pace. 

Mile warmup, drills. Found this canal trail so I ran on that for a little, would be perfect for intervals but I'm running a race or something tomorrow. After that just ran around the streets of Cypress. Met the missionaries in the Long Beach mission which is where my brother will be going in May. One of them is from Springville and he's Kaity's cousin so that was crazy. Good run, 4 miles, 6:48 average pace.

Was going to do another run but I didn't get around to it. More rest for tomorrow I guess

2 mile shakeout with some strides near the end. Only counting one mile cuz the first one was slow.

Warmed up 2 miles with Grant and some of the other guys. It was nice to chill with them before the race cuz it helped with the nerves. Did some drills and got ready to go. Stomach wasn't feeling great. Gun went off and I got out and settled in the middle. There was 40 runners in our heat so it got  a little sketchy. Didn't want to get tangled up so I let everyone pass and ended up dead last. First lap was a 64 then second was a 72. Started to move up at the end of the third lap and surged to near the front to avoid trouble in the middle. Took the lead somewhere in the 5th lap. Led for a little while then got passed with 800 to go. Stuck with him and barely outkicked him in the last 100. Glad I was able to push through mentally and not let my stomach take me out of it. Still don't know what to do with it. Got my time and place goals so I was excited about that. 4 mile cool down with Grant and Hayden Cooper. Felt like I was going to die. Got back and watched the invite 3200, shoutout to Casey for going 8:44
