The King of Controversy

AM - 7.25 miles. 50 min. with 15 min. tempo. Average Pace: 7:25. Tempo Pace: 5:57. Decent tempo today. I finished off the whole 15 min. this time and our group was much closer together. I was at the front for most of it until the end where I fell back a little bit. I need to work on my form more because it doesn't feel as smooth as it used to. Legs felt good, no knee or foot troubles.

PM - 3.25 miles. 30 min easy. Average Pace: 8:57. Ran Dino Tracks trail with Nick and Bryan at about 3. It was super hot and actually pretty hard but I enjoyed it. I haven't run a trail in forever so that was fun but since we ran so early in the day last week, I wasn't used to all the heat. Luckily I brought my water bottle.

AM - 5 miles. 40 min with 6 min test. Average Pace: 8:28. 6 min test was good but not as strong as I would have liked it. I got out fairly quick but Nick and Logan were out much faster and I just let them go. I ran next to Paul and Andrew for a bit until Paul pushed up to Logan and Nick. I really wished I had gone with Paul then but whatever. The rest of the time it was mostly just me and Andrew until the end where Preston and Dallin passed us. I didn't really like that so I gave one last good push with about 30 seconds left to pass them again. I finished 4th on the team which was good but I really wished I had been up by Nick and them. I covered 2 laps and 265 meters.

PM - 3 miles. 30 min easy. Average Pace: 9:42. Ran at about 5 with Jake, Jason, Paul, and Nick out into the desert by Jake's house. It was kind of slow but still hard with the heat. 

AM - 7 miles. 50 min. easy with 20 min grass. Average Pace: 7:51. Great run. Legs felt a bit tired from the past two days but great otherwise. I really love running on the grass. 

PM - 3.25 miles. 30 min easy. Average Pace: 9:07. Ran part of Bracken's loop with Nick, Jake, Andrew, and Igor at about 2. Super hot again today so I brought water with me. Foot hurt a bit but I think that was because of my shoes so I will probably retire my Pegasus soon.

AM - 9 miles. 60 min with strong finish. Great run on Dino Cliffs trail. It was pretty hard at points but so much fun. The strong finish was good and we did another Indian run. We had a nice strong group and we really got cruising. Legs felt great.

PM - 3.5 miles. Average Pace: 8:50. Great run with Jason and Jake to Sandbergs. It was overcast and windy so when we got out of the water it was actually cold. Legs felt great.

AM - 7.5 miles. 50 min with 5x4:30 min cruise intervals. Met up at the Region Course today so we could get our first look at it this season. Desert Hills had the same idea and we saw them there. The workout wasn't as great as I would of liked it but I'm going to take all positives from it. I forgot how tough the region course was and I think I let it get me down a bit. I was right at the front on the first two and I felt really strong but the last three were just garbage. I started falling behind and instead of giving a good push to try to regroup, I just gave up on myself. It was a really disappointing workout especially after how I did last week in the cruise intervals. I think I struggle the most when I think too much. I just need to run and relax. I will definitely work on that in the coming workouts.

AM - 3 miles. 30 min easy. Average Pace: 10:07. I ran Chuckwalla trail with Bryan, Jake, and Igor today. It was a nice slow run. I kinda wished we had a longer run so that we could get farther on the trail but it was still fun.
