Adam's Running

My legs were a little bit sore from Saturday, but after about a mile I felt fine. We ran up to sliding rock, then decided to go farther up to go see the movie set that they built. We went up for a while but when we got to where you turn down to get to the set there was a police officer who got mad at us for trespassing and told us to leave. We kept going up for a while before we realized that the trail didn't go down, so we found a couple of overgrown deer trails that we took down to Alpine Cove.  

Neither Lil' Warner or Jamison was there this morning, so it ended up being Marc and I running together for most of the run. We did mountain run then headed down and added Timberline loop for extra. Marc leaves to the MTC tomorrow, so it was good to get one more run in with him before he's gone.

AM- Drove up the canyon with Ryan and reserved our campsite for later in the day, so it was just Jamison, Lil' Warner and I running in the morning because we didn't make it back in time. We went to Marc's house to say goodbye because he leaves on his mission today, then did Timberline loop.

PM-First run of camp. We ran a loop by where we were camping. the first five or so miles were pretty intense, and Lil' Warner gapped me by a good twenty seconds on the ridge. For some reason he is just crazy good at hills, so I had to work hard to keep up with him on all of our runs at camp. Once we got to the top of the loop it was a nice three miles of downhill. It was the kind of downhill that wasn't too steep or too gradual, but a perfect mix of both that allowed us to just fly. I wouldn't be surprised if we did those three miles in15 minutes or less.

AM- Easy run in the morning, only about three miles probably. It was pretty hilly though, so it didn't feel like a waste of time.

PM- For our evening run today we went up to stewart falls and back two times. The first one was just at a steady pace, and was more of a warm up than anything else. The second time up Ryan ran with us so Lil' Warner and I picked up the pace considerably. We got up a couple minutes quicker than the first time, and ran back down to the parking lot and did abs and stretching.

Today was the last day of camp so we had our hard run in the morning before we left. We just went up Timpooneke road for 33 minutes, then back down in 27. The way up was pretty brutal because I had Lil' Warner pushing the pace the whole time and it was ninety five percent uphill. We hit 33 minutes and decided to turn around so we could catch some of the other guys on the way down. I didn't realize it until we got home but we  were actually super close to the front face of Timp. Probably only about 3-5 minutes away which is a bummer.

Alpine Days today. Was tired from camp and I knew I wouldn't have a problem making varsity, so I just treated it like a really hard tempo. First mile was gradual uphill and Lil' Warner and i hit in 5:25. The second mile was pretty steep for most of it and we dropped off pretty good, running 5:54. Last mile was mostly downhill so I was able to run a 5:08 pretty easily. I finished and was pretty tired, but still had a lot left in the tank. Steve ended up winning, and is starting to run with BYU this week and Lil' Warner got second a few seconds ahead of me. Spencer King actually ended up getting fifth, and the last grass relays spot. Afterwards we cooled down barefoot on the grass.
