Adam's Running

Ran in the morning. solid 3.5 miles.

We ran 15 minutes out, and 15 back for about 4 miles plus a bit. Then we went and got our uniforms and went out for four more.

Interval workout today. 7x800m at about race pace. splits were 2:40, 2:40, 2:38, 2:40, 2:40, 2:42, and 2:37. We did them on the grass field where everything is slow. 

Today we ran from Lone Peak and did a mountain run. It was a bajillion degrees outside.

6x600m hill repeats today. Times were 2:13, 2:10, 2:07, 2:10, 2:13, 2:15. slowed down at the end because my legs just weren't feeling it after the first three. cooled down then drove up to sliding rock for ice bath. It felt SO good. it was hot enough that the water was not as fridgid as usual but still pretty cold.

Ran to AF and did a loop on the grass relays course. They changed it because of the construction so now you run straight through once you get off the track and just go farther past the goalpost. Also had the pacer today in PE.

Today was GRASS RELAYS! Funnest meet of the year by far. We got to AF at about 7:20 and sat around for a while before we warmed up. We did some strides and got in position. We were the last ones there so we got the worst spot. The gun went off and I went out hard so I wouldnt get caught in the bottleneck. I was about tenth coming up the little hill and by the time we went around the corner and over the first hay bale I was in the lead. coming around the goalpost I surged and extended  my lead so that by the time I was running around the baseball field I had a pretty sizeable lead. I continued to lead until we were coming down the goalpost on the second lap, at which point a kid from Desert Hills came up on my shoulder. I stayed in front of him until with six hundred to go him and two AF guys passed me. The AF huys took off but I kind of stayed with Desert Hills guy until once we were out of the gauntlet he outkicked me and beat me solidly. I was hoping to win but my time was better than I expected. If I had run this time in the race last race year I would have won by 10 seconds but everyone just gets faster every year somehow. Afterwards I cooled down and watched the rest of the races. In the varsity race we took second!!!!! We beat Riverton and Bingham pretty soundly and ran the fifth fastest team time ever. Clayson ran a 10:04 which was expected but somehow Little Warner ran 10:15. That puts him in the top 20 ever im pretty sure. I knew he was going to be fast this year but I would never have guessed that fast in a million years.
