Adam's Running

For the last day of summer we decided to do something fun, so we decided to run down to Lone Peak and play tag at the pond. It was pretty fun and I didn't get caught in either game, although there were a couple of close calls. Afterwards we ran back to the park

Today was the first day of school and what better way to welcome everyone back than 6x800 over on the grass field by the seminary building. I hate this field because they very rarely mow it, so the grass is always super long and sucks the energy out your legs. Today though I was feeling really good. I had been feeling a little discouraged after how poorly I performed at last workout, but this one restored all of my confidence. Times were 2:36, 2:34, 2:32, 2:30, 2:30, 2:26. I was looking at my times on this course from last year at this time of year and I was averaging almost 10 seconds slower on every interval. This workout got me really excited for grass relays.

Tag with 25 minutes after. We got new jerseys today and they are sick.

6x600m hills today over by the elementary school. Was able to hit decent times on all of them, but I felt like garbage for the whole workout. Times were 2:05, 2:04, 2:03, 2:04, 2:00, 2:06. On the last one I started cramping up pretty bad in the last 100. Cool down and ice bath after.

Later did three more on the canyon road loop.

solid run out and back on Bonneville Shoreline. It was Lil' Warner, Zack, Jamison, and I for most of it, and we kind of fluctuated between running really fast and really slow throughout the run. Overall though we averaged 6:50 pace.

Missed practice this morning so I ran on my own later. I decided to run up the canyon to Timpanogas cave and back. It was lightly raining when I left but on my way back down it started raining really hard, then started hailing. The hailstones were really big and painful so I ran off the road and found a boulder that I crawled under and stayed there for a bout five minutes before it lightened up a little. Overall a fun run.
