Adam's Running

Discovery Park run today. We saw AF there right before they went to do the grinder. McKay was running which was good to see. Shoutout to Jake Bybee cuz he did the whole run with us, once that kid hits puberty and grows a little he is gonna be unstoppable.

Good workout today. We started with a 400 in 75 just to loosen up the legs a little, then did the workout of 1600, 1200, 800, 400. Felt pretty good today, and we hit perfect pacing on the whole thing. Times were 4:57, 3:40, 2:16, 65. Getting excited for nike. Good luck to everyone in the Connor Arnell Classic tonight.

Super fun run today. We ran up to the cliffs above the golf course and along the way a dog joined us which we named Alfie. Alfie ran with us for a good four miles on some deer trails up on the mountainside before we brought him back to his neighborhood. 'Twas very windy and cold today, but fun nonetheless.

We did my favorite workout today which is 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 minutes on the canal. We were going pretty fast on all of them, kept the longer ones under 5 minute pace and really pressed on the shorter ones. It was pretty nice today, chilly, but not as cold as yesterday.

Fun run through Alpine. Stomach felt a little off, but a good run overall. Did some strides when we got back on the soccer field.

Hogs today. We got to the top and realized it was 8:15 so we cruised down so we could make it to Pre Footlocker. Last couple miles were around 5:25 pace. We drove down to AF and watched pre footlocker. Casey killed it, and it was a super fun race to watch.

Good run up AF canyon today. We were cruising up, like 6:35 pace so that was good. It was super windy today and I forgot my hairband, so I fashioned a dope bandana out of my shirt and it worked wonderfully.

Super cold workout. We did 400, 800, 400, 800, 400, 800, 400, then cut it short because the weather was just getting horrible. Afterwards we did some miles inside.

Had to run by myself because I missed practice due to being at Westlake all day for an art thing. It was cold, but enjoyable overall.

12x400 on the track today. Felt really good on all of them, and kept them very consistent. Times were 68, 66, 66, 66, 66, 66, 66, 66, 66, 64, 63, 62. Ran with Jamison on all of them, and Craik looked very good.

We drove up to Legacy and ran since there was only 5 of us because of the football game. We did Middle Spring and it was an excellent time.

Ran up Hogs for a bit then turned to Suncrest. Chilly, but a good time.

Biked to Grove Creek, hiked up to Timpenooke road, then hiked/ran down. It was beautiful up there with the snow and everything.

Fun run today. It was cold and snowy and windy, but I dressed warm so it felt fine. Averaged like 6:45 pace. Getting pumped for nike.

Nice little workout today, it was only 8x400 so it wasn't too bad, but it got the legs moving. Times were 66, 65, 65, 65, 64, 65, 65, 62. 'Twas cold, but definitely not as bad as yesterday.

RAn down to AF , did a lap on the grass relays course, and ran back.

Nice little workout to get the legs sharp for Nike. It was just 3, 2, 1 minutes hard on the canal with equal rest. Averaged like 4:35 pace on the intervals.

Ran the course and did some strides. Got a dope #palmerridgexc shirt! and a cool one from Davis as well.

Best race of my life today. Hands down. We got to the course and everybody was feeling good in the hours leading up to the race. We got a decent warm up then headed over to the lengthy introductions. The gun went off and I got out very well, top 20 at about 400 meters in. The pace was hot but I was feeling good and stuck in there. Came through mile 1 in 4:48 and felt smooth. The middle mile is where I fell off last year so I made sure to not let the guys I was running with get any kind of gap on me. Two mile split was 9:48. At this point I realized I was on pace to run really fast and was still feeling good so I passed a couple guys and filed in behind Camren Todd of Davis and tried to just hold on. Ended up passing a few more dudes and when we hit the final straightaway I was hauling to try and keep my position. Ended up finishing in 15:17 with Jamison right behind in 15:18. My goal coming into this was under 15:30 so I was ecstatic. We waited around for a while and did a good long cool down with connor Baller before awards. I got a cool third team All Region shirt and we got third as a team! Apparently there was a three way tie for first between us, Timpanogos, and Mountain Vista, then they went and looked at a photo finish which gave MV the win, and we lost on the sixth man to Timp. kind of a bummer since we were 1 point from winning the whole thing, but I definitely like our chances for the at large bid. Great, great day.

We are still in Arizona for my mom's birthday so I did a run by myself. Didn't bring a watch or plan it out before, so I just went by feel and figured out how far I went when I got back. Went and did a couple miles around this big soccer complex, then did a couple loops around this really nice golf course. Was surprised when I mapped it out and got 10 miles cuz it only felt like 7.

Went to Notre Dame Prep Academy for my workout today. The weather was superb and the track was really nice so the workout was a good time. The workout was 2x( 800, 600, 400). There was two PE classes out there so I had an audience. Times were 2:16, 1:39, 65 for the first set, and 2:11, 1:38, 62 for the second set. Short and sweet, and just an excellent time overall.

Back in Utah, so 8 miles on black trail. Lil' Warner was there just like old times. We got to the riverbed and it was dry so we did an over under run which we haven't done in a long time. Averaged under 8 minute pace which was pretty good with all the climbing over and under bridges and roads and what not.

12x400 today. It was freezing so they were bit harder than last time, but we still managed to stay on pace. Times were 70, 70, 67, 67, 66, 66, 66, 66, 66, 67, 67, 65. Afterwards played a good game of Ultimate frisbee with the fam.

Very chilly this morning, my guess is around 20 degrees. We ran up and did the suncrest loop which is always an excellent time. Afterwards we went and made breakfast burritos at Lil' Warner's house.

Super fun run today. It snowed a ton last night so we headed up to Lambert to get some good trails in. Trail running in the snow is one of my absolute favorite things in the whole world. We went through on high bench then turned up spring and came down middle spring. Good times. We probly hear if we made it to nationals today so I'll be nervous wreck until the call comes in.

Today we ran up on Bonneville. It was covered in snow, but just the right amount so it was fun to run on, and was actually quite warm. Warm enough that Will and Chris took off their tights and ran in their underwear for most of it haha. I had to go to the bathroom midway through so I broke off headed down to the canal, then met back up with everyone at the dip. Afterwards we went and took our team pic for nike ( We got an at large bid if you hadn't heard!!!) up by lambert. we were all wearing turtlenecks and I think it's pretty smooth, but Jamison and Ryan don't like it for some reason.
