Running and more running

So it has been a while since I posted! I've still been running but have kind of slacked on the blogging... Today was good, except it was HOT because I ran at 10:30. I had to sleep in since practice is gonna be bright and early every day the rest of the summer!

Felt great!

First day of practice today! Our team seems to be pretty big and we have a cool new assistant coach named Collin who is pretty sick cause he's gonna run with us. We took forever getting started because it was the first day, but then just went on a nice five mile run past our new school. Afterwards we did abs, ice bathed in the creek, and had breakfast at Gan's house so shoutout to her for the food!

Practice today was at Lehi, so we met there, did our miles, did abs and hips, and then I went biking with a good group of guys. I kind of died hard core because I hadn't eaten breakfast yet and I didn't know it then but they were going 50 miles... I only ended up going 40 because I didn't know which fork in the trail to take so I just waited for the other guys to come back. So pretty much I doubled the farthest I had previously biked, but felt like crap.

It is good to finally be back from Trek! Today we did our new Dreammaker (not sure what we are calling it yet) which was pretty good! I got 9:10 and fifth overall so that was cool. I felt like it was a little faster course than our old one but I definitely enjoyed how it catered to being able to kick at the end. Afterwards I did four more miles and then abs and stuff. 

Today we had our first tempo run, so that was sick! It was only two miles, so luckily it wasn't too crazy. I was in the first group with Austin, Michael, and Chris, but we also had Brady do it with is and Collin and Parker did parts of it. The first mile we hit like a 5:35 and then the second was like a 5:25, so it was pretty good! I'm so pumped for this season!

We had a speed workout today that wasn't too bad except for the fact I was pretty darn tired and didn't feel super great. That's ok though because I'm leaving for Mexico in the morning! 3:30 am to be exact 😭. I'll be gone for 16 days, so peace out!
