The King of Controversy

PM - 7.25 miles. 50 min with 20 min steady state tempo. We went about 6 min pace for the steady state.This was really tough for me today. I don't know if it's just because I'm still a little sick or what. I managed to stick with the group but I really wanted to quit the whole time. 

AM - 3.75 miles. 35ish minutes. Trail Run Tuesday. Went and ran on the Middleton Trail. It was super fun even though we went pretty slow. I still felt sick today and I was super sore from yesterday. 

PM - 6.25 miles. Old Man Hills (4x800). Pretty chill workout which was nice since I'm still not quite over my sickness and I'm really sore. We hit around 2:55 on all of them. Nothing crazy, just tried to work on form and keeping the group strong. 

PM - 6.5 miles. 52 min easy. Really fun run today out into the desert but my back hurt a lot. Other than that though, I felt great. Most of the soreness from earlier in the week is gone.

PM - 4.5 miles. 800 meter Kosmin Test. This didn't turn out too well. The first 60 seconds, I barely got past 400 meters, hitting 400 in like 58 or 59 and that felt extremely killer. The second 60 seconds I was just so dead from the first that I ran absolutely terrible. Finished with 772 meters, just behind Skylar. Predicted 800 meter time: 2:05. Converted Mile: 4:42. Guess that was okay but not what I think I'm capable of right now. 

AM - 7 miles. St. George 5k. I came into this pretty sore from yesterday's Kosmin so I was a little nervous on how I would do but it all seemed to work out fine. I got out quick and into the lead with Nick but then the 2 guys who took 1st and 2nd last year came up on us as well as a runner for AF and I dropped off from that group pretty quickly. I came through the first mile in 5:12 and the 2 mile in 10:40ish and then obviously finished in 17:03 so slowed down quite a bit throughout the race. After I lost the lead pack, I was just focusing on keeping a good pace and holding off Dallen, Alex, and Preston who I knew weren't far behind. I had solidified a pretty good lead after the first mile so they weren't ever able to catch me and so I finished 2nd in my age division and got a dope Sandstone plaque among other prizes. Just a really fun race but I'm super sore now.
