Coach said to take today and tomorrow off so no running for me today other than a couple miles I probably got running around at the regionals course cheering the guys on.

New season, new me! I shaved my mustache to mark the beginning of the indoor season so today was a pretty big day. 15 with the guys up 800 and into the canyon a little bit and back. It's starting to get cold! But not cold enough for tights and long sleeves. I may have to invest in some arm warmers for now.

A solid 12 with the guys. Pretty tired again today. Need to sleep more and maybe get my iron checked to make sure that that's not anything that's conributing to my exessive tiredness.

Easy 10 with some of the guys. We had to make a pit-stop at this one park to use the bathroom and that place has the coolest jungle gym I've ever seen. I'll be back. Also drove down to St. George later in the evening where I'll be for Thanksgiving break, yezzzzz!

Hip/IT band/knee were bugging me on the left side. Just some tightness that I need to work out, but I decided to listen to my body today and just take it easy. I didn't end up running but I went to the weight room and did some strength exercises to try and loosen it up a bit for tomorrow.

Back running in the land of cotton! My hip/IT band/knee were still bugging a little bit so I put off running for a while, but I rolled out a bit and finally made it out and had a solid run. Ran up through BH North to the river trail and popped out by Lin's in Washington, then looped back through LV. Solid run and my leg wasn't bugging too much, but I guess I didn't give my lunch enough time to digest and I almost threw up a few times haha. Solid week to start the indoor season. Didn't hit my mileage goal for the week without the run yesterday but it's probably better for me to be relaxing and listening to my body right now. One step at a time!

AM- 5.02 out toward the river trail and back. Just trying to wake the legs up, also I don't want to do a 10 mile cool down later lol.

PM- Workout on the track at DH. 12x400 between mile and 3k pace w/90 sec active recovery (68, 69, 67, 67, 66, 67, 66, 66, 64, 64, 65, 63). Felt pretty good and the pace wasn't too challenging. Did a few miles cool down with Coach Fielding catching up on everything. Congrats to the DH girls for signing their NLIs today! Welcome to the team Lily and Trin!

Went up by Hidden Valley then looped around the river trail and headed back through BH north. Felt pretty tired from the workout yesterday, and my left quad is really tight now so I'll have to get that loosened up. Tomorrow will just be an easy day then I have the Gobbler on Thursday!

Happy Thanksgiving! 

AM- I arrived at the race feeling quite fatigued from the workout on Monday, then weights and basketball on Wednesday (most certainly a poor decision the day before a race). Nevertheless, I did a couple miles warm up and started to loosen up. Unfortunately I had to wait in line for the bathroom for what seemed like an eternity (probably like 15 minutes) and sort of tightened up a little. I got out of the bathroom right as the 10k was starting, so I had 5 minutes before they started the 5k. Basically I had enough time to strip down into my traditional robes of combat and get to the line. I quickly made note of the competion near the starting line: one collegiate athlete, a few high schoolers, some middle-aged men, and a handful of  overly-ambitious prepubescent children. The countdown reached its end and we all shot out from behind the line. After about 100 meters, it seemed as though my competition had narrowed down to one high schooler from Lone Peak. We quickly ran into the back of the 10k pack (I'm not sure who decided 5 minutes would be enough time to separate the 2 races), and had to weave our way through them. The pace felt a little too comfortable, and sure enough, we came through the first mile in 5:27. I picked it up and tried to press the pace and he didn't go with me. When we hit the turn-around and hopped onto the river trail heading back to the finish, I saw that I had about a 20 meter lead on the next guys, so I just kept pressing. With about a half mile left I assumed that I had a pretty sizeable lead, but I passed some people who then started cheering for the guy in second not long after I'd passed them, so I tried to pick it up a little more. My lead was big enough and I was able to get the dub. I cooled down a mile with Drew, Preston, and Laynee, then ran another 3ish miles to my house. 

PM- In what I now recognize as a very poor decision, I got in some more miles after going to town on a tasty Thanksgiving meal. Fortunately I was able to keep it all in.

Easy mileage. Played some more basketball last night and I really felt it on the run today. Didn't feel like I really warmed up until I was about 6 miles into the run, haha.

Back in Orem. Got in a longer run luckily when the weather had chilled out a little bit and stopped snowing. I even got to soak in a little sunshine for probably the 15 minutes of the day that the sun was out.

9.13 total in the morning for the workout. Had to do it earlier by myself because of a group project later. The workout was supposed to be 16x400 w/90 sec rest around the same pace as last week, but I was only able to do 12 because of the time. Felt a little more tired than last week so the pace was a couple seconds slower. I hit 68, 69, 69, 68, 69, 68, 69, 69, 68, 69, 69, 67 for the 12. 

4.22 later at night on the treadmill.

Made a split decision to take a test an hour before practice because I was going to have stuff going on after practice. Didn't finish in time so I ended up doing the workout on my own again. I did 2x(600, 400, 300, 200, 100), everything at 64 second 400 pace w/equal distance recovery jog. Rainy and windy but I was pretty close to the times for most of the intervals. First set was 1:37, 66, 49, 32 16. Second set was 1:41, 65, 49, 32, 15. Did a couple miles cool down and called it at that. Felt pretty tired today.
