The King of Controversy

AM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Got sick over the weekend and was still feeling sick today so it wasn't the greatest run.

PM - 2.25 miles. 20 min easy. Coach told me to not run the workout and take it easy today because I was sick. I felt pretty good and I probably could have done more than 20 min but I didn't want to push anything. 

AM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Still was sick this morning but definitely better. Rained pretty hardcore at the beginning so most of us went shirtless today. It was legit. 

PM - 8.75 miles. 60 min with striders. Still a little sick but it wasn't a workout or anything so I was able to do it all. Rainy again which was fun. 

AM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Still felt sick this morning. I really hope I'm all the way better by Friday so I can run at Herriman. 

PM - 6 miles. 45 min. Time Trial #3. Not a great race. I got out quick and went right with Nick just like I planned but I didn't stick with him and my whole race fell apart. I ran with Nick and Paul for a lap and a half and then I pretty much gave up. I've never gone that fast before and I wasn't ready to handle it. The last mile was just me getting passed by 3 guys. Being sick definitely affected my race today but even with that it should have been better. Hope I get feeling better so I can be ready for Herriman. I didn't run the workout after because I was sick. 

AM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Still feeling sick. It's almost all gone but not quite 100 percent. Hopefully it's gone by tommorow. 

PM - 5 miles. 30 min easy with 4x200. Didn't feel very good on this run. I was dehydrated and my stomach didn't feel good. 

AM - 5.25 miles. 40 mi with 4, 3, 2, 1 min Fartleks. We ran up at the State Course today. It was fun to run on it but the fartleks didn't make me feel very good. My back tightened up like crazy on these which made them feel a lot harder than they should have been.

PM - 6.5 miles. 50 min. Herriman Invite. Race did not go how I would have liked it too. I planned on going with Nick but I was already tired after the first 800 meters because we were going up hill and I slowed down a lot. I picked it up once we got going downhill and I was able to pass a few people which was not easy because the course is so small. I got up the Motha Cussa strong but it totally wore me out and I slowed down. Luckily everyone else slowed down too so I didn't get passed by very many people but I wished I had kept a good pace because I could have passed a ton of people. Definitely not a good race for me but our team ended up taking 2nd behind American Fork which was a bit suprising but it showed that we have a really strong team even if some of us have off days. 

AM - 9.5 miles. 80 min with strong finish. We went and participated in Irene's 5k today for part of our run. I was so dead and tired from Herriman because I was only able to get about 4 hours of sleep last night that I didn't actually race it. Me and Jake just kept it easy around 7:50 pace.
