The King of Controversy

Hey Everyone, I have decided to spicen up the blog a bit by adding some Controversy. Feel free to comment and voice your opinion on any of the Controversies.

Controversial Topic of The Day - Black Licorice is the best kind of Licorice. Everyone who says it is the worst kind ever is clearly drunk and should go back to their trailer park. 

AM - 9 miles. 60 min easy with striders. Good run. Felt a bit tired but not too bad for a long run. Striders sucked cause the grass was all wet and cold. 

PM - 3.5 miles. 30 min easy. Trail Run Tuesday - Prospector. Well even though I only had 30 minutes I went and ran a trail because I was getting sick of all the runs by my house. It was fun and I did it a bit earlier in the day because I'm going to the BYU vs Gonzaga game tonight. I hope they win because they probably won't make the NCAA tourney if they don't. 

Controversial Topic of The Day - Who's the better Government Agent? Jack Bauer or James Bond? Personally I think James Bond is a much better agent. Jack Bauer is constantly breaking the rules and let's so many people die in the process of catching the bad guy. James Bond, first off is British and is very smooth and sophisticated but is also very clean and precise when it comes to catching the bad guy. If Jack Bauer and Bond got in a fight, Bauer would be dead in seconds. 

AM - 5 miles. 4x300 at 400 race pace (goal: 43-44ish) with 120 beat recovery (1-2 min). Times were 43, 44, 46, 47. I did a lot better than last week but this was still so tough. Probably one of the hardest workouts we do right now. 

PM - 3.25 miles. 30 min easy. Ran with Paul, Nick, and Sally in the desert behind Nick's house or at least what's left of it. 

Controversial Topic of The Day - Should high school athletes be allowed to accept money? The reason I chose this topic is cause my good friends Hell Raiser and The Warbeast weren't able to accept their prize money at the Dogtown Half Marathon about a month ago. I think High School athletes should be allowed to accept money or at least some money. It's stupid that my friends couldn't accept their money. I mean it was only $100 and $200. Why do we have to distinguish between pro and high school athletes by money. Age can already distinguish it. 

AM - 6.75 miles. 60 min easy. Trail Run Tuesday - Mustang Pass. Fun run this morning. I was feeling a bit tired and cruddy but so was a lot of other people so the pace was pretty chill. Mustang Pass is getting pretty overgrown though. I don't think it has been run on enough lately which makes me sad. It's one of my favorite trails in St. George. People need to start using it more. 

PM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Didn't get out till super late cause I was hanging out with the bros all day and they were all being domos and didn't want to run. Fun run though. I felt really fresh.

Controversial Topic of The Day - If Jake K and Andrea had a baby what would it be named? Here are some ideas: Blake K, Gnork Krong (First name is last name backwards), Donkey Krong. If you have another idea, comment below. 

AM - 7 miles. Old Man Hills - 800, 400, 200 and 2x(400, 200). Tough but good workout. I tried to stay relaxed on these because it seems like I always tighten up on these. It worked pretty well and this was probably one of my better Old Man Hill days.

PM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. I came up to Salt Lake for the weekend so I ran up here around 5. I felt pretty good but nearly as fresh as yesterday. 

Controversial Topic of The Day - Who is the better American Runner, Steve Prefontaine or Galen Rupp (or who would win if they raced each other)? I think Galen Rupp is a much better runner. He has great form and a lot better than how they portray Prefontaine's form in the movies. Rupp is also a much smarter racer. He usually lets someone else lead for most of the race and then outkick them. Pre was a front runner and though it worked most of the time, he failed to medal in his only Olympic appearnace. Rupp would just have to sit on Pre for most of the race and then outkick him.
