Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials

3 miles to skyridge then 8 with the guys. Counting 2 miles as warmup, the rest was around 7:30 pace. Went up the jail trail in snow that varied from ankle to waist deep. Then looped through some neighborhoods and back on the MCT. Sick run, running with my boys was lit. 20 min biking after

Night swim/aqua jog workout with Brecken, 225m

Mile warmup and drills. 12 min easy then started right into the workout. Fartlek was 8-10 3 min pushes with 90 sec distance in between, went out past willow park. Started to get a shoulder stitch and fall off pace after 8 so I took 5 min distance then did the last 2. Paces ranged from 4:45-5:05. 16:25 5K and 33:30 10K somewhere in the workout. 5:52 average pace for the whole run. Definitely the hardest workout I've done since November. Think it's time to retire the Zantes. I'll probably get another pair unless anybody has any other suggestions for a good speed shoe I should get.

Mile warmup then 8 on JRT, 6:48 avg pace. Light strength training after.

Mile warmup and drills. Did an AF loop, got a little lost but not bad. 9 miles with some strides near the end, 6:25 average pace. Strides were 400 in 64 and 200s in 29, 28. Ready to have some fun tomorrow

1.5 mile warmup. A little nervous but mostly excited to race in a really stacked race. Got out to near the middle and got on the inside. Let most everyone pass on the outside and just stayed in lane 1 for the first 2 laps. Hit 800 in a little over 2:10. Started to move and kept passing people the last 2 laps. Decent kick, only thing I would want to be faster. Coach said I closed in a 2:04 and 62 tho so that's great. Awesome first race considering my training and what happened at footlocker. 3.5 mile cool down. 

Went to the ice oval to cheer for the 2 mile peoples. Ran 10 around Kearns with Jiree, 6:43 avg pace. Running with him was so sick, he's a cool kid. I had 1 more mile and I felt amazing so it ended up being 5:30. Biked for 20 min in the oval, rolled out, biked for 10 more minutes. Almost wished I had raced the 2 mile today cuz I was feeling so great but its all good, I need to be patient early in the season.
