Left today for my official visit at UVU. I was planning on running up north before we started doing stuff, but we didn't get out on time so I didn't have time for a run before. Ended up doing 3 easy on the treadmill at 10 at night to get at least some mileage in for the day.

Ran 6 this morning with Trey Trusty from Westlake, a little chilly up in Provo and finished up my visit with UVU. We toured the campus and got to check out all the facilities. It's a pretty sweet campus and the coaches were really cool. Wanted to get another run in tonight but didn't have much time. It's been pretty hectic trying to get runs in the past couple days so I'm glad to be back in a regular schedule.

3 in the morning. Good stuff with the usual crew.

5 easy in the afternoon out toward Sunriver. Felt pretty good, strides afterwards. Glad to be back running with the team for the first time since last Friday.

3 miles in the am. Niiiiiiice.

Track workout in the afternoon. We did 4x1600m repeats and 3x300m finishes. Pretty killer workout, I was totally drained afterwards. The 1600s were good but tough, especially the last one. 300s were pretty tough too. Really pushed the first and second ones, and pretty much just tried to survive on the last one. Good workout, definitely going to make me better. Around 8.5 total for the afternoon.

Easy 4 Kenyan run in the afternoon. Woke up this morning and my nostrils felt like they were burning and throat was pretty constricted like it was hard to get down a glass of water at the start. Things got a little better after breakfast but still felt pretty sluggish throughout the day. I hate getting sick. I feel like I've done pretty much everything I can not to, but I guess I wasn't able to hold it off with everyone around me being sick. Hopefully it'll just be a really short thing.

Felt a little better when I woke up this morning, still a little sluggish though. Had a bowl of lucky charms and a glass of water and that seemed to give me a fairly adequate amount of energy. Met out at Warner Valley for a sort of progression/tempo run with some of the team. We just did an out and back on the usual dirt road, slightly uphill for the first 2 miles, then slightly downhill for the next 1.5. First half was pretty chill, progressed from about 6:30-6:10. At the turn around, Coach told us to stay at that pace and then push the last 2 miles. The last 2 we were cruising, 5:43 and 5:17 for those miles. Overall, I felt okay, better than yesterday's easy run, but it was still a little tougher to breath and I had a bunch of gunk in my nose and throat. Pretty good push though, I need to work on my endurance and being able to push from more than a quarter mile out! :P
