Adam's Running

First run in my new shoes today. It was overcast and there was light showers throughout the run which made for an excellent time. We did black trail with some extra detours through the riverbed and such. When we were on the road we got going pretty quick, like 6:10-6:30's. The one and only Dominic came to practice today, and apparently is coming to camp which will be a good time.

Had a two mile tempo today. We ran down behind Lone Peak to do it, and started on the trail over by the golf course. Zack and I stuck together for the first mile and a quarter, then I pulled ahead a bit and ran by myself for the last part. There was confusion with the watches so we ended up being like .1 miles short, but it was a good effort so I was ok with it. I am not sure what the pace was exactly, but I think I was around 5:05-5:15 pace on the whole thing. Aerobically I felt great, now I just need to start getting the speed in.When we got back to the park we did 6x100 meter strides and ice bathed after at the mouth of the canyon.

First day of camp. We ran from Sundance up to Stewart Falls, then down to Aspen Grive and back on the road for a couple miles. Fun run.

In the morning did the Ridge trail. There is a pretty good hill from 2 miles all the way to 4.5 so that kinda hurt but overall a very pleasant run.

Later we went up to Scout Falls. Cole Gray came and did it with us which was really fun.

For our run today we ran up Timpenooke road until we got to where we could see Mt. Mahogany then turned around. It had started raining about 4:30 that morning, and it never really stopped until we got home. The first four miles were all uphill, and we did them at a solid pace. At the top we waited for the top 7 and Ryan, then headed down. Ryan was actually pushing the pace going down, and at one point we were going close to 5:30 pace. After we got back to camp we took down our hammocks, ate some pancakes, and left.

Alpine Days today. I went to Mission Impossible last night and didn't get home until 1:30 so I was pretty tired, but the movie was pretty dope so it was worth it. The race started and I just tucked in with Zack, Jamison, and Patrick from AF. The first mile was mostly uphill and we came through in 5:45, I felt pretty good. Once we got to the top of the hill Patrick and I started to pull away and when we hit the two mile mark we really picked it up. The last mile is decently downhill so we were flying. I am not sure what our last couple mile splits were, but afterwards Patrick said we were going 4:33 pace when he looked at his watch. I stayed right on his tail for the entire last mile, but with about 300 to go he kicked and I just didn't have the speed to go with him. Overall a good race and 30 seconds faster than I ran last year.
