Adam's Running

In the morning I was going to meet Walton for a run, but he slept in so I went by myself. Drove up the canyon and did thirty easy minutes on the ridge trail. An almost full moon illuminated most of the trail so I barely had to use my headlamp which was nice.

Later we had 10x400 on the grass field. I forgot my socks( a pretty common occurrence because I wear sandals to school everyday), so I did them all barefoot. I don't know if it was that, or if it was just my day but I felt REALLY good today. Times were 70, 69, 68, 67, 66, 65, 65, 65, 65, 60. On the last one Craik took off and I couldn't let him win that easy, so I went and raced him even though I wasn't supposed too. Afterwards we went to the mouth of the canyon to ice bath, but the girls had infiltrated our spot so we moved upstream to the dam. It's actually a lot better and you can jump in and fully submerge yourself.

Today we did an easy 6 with some strides. Nothin too crazy.

Around 10 I decided to go for a couple more miles, so I went out and 2 miles in I ran into Walton who was out running. I decided that tomorrow is just Pre Region, so I finished up with his run with him. We did a 5 mile loop up onto Bonneville and down on the canal. Even though he has put so many drugs into his body, and hasn't trained seriously in forever he was still able to hold a conversation easily at 6:50 pace the whole time. If he would have been serious in high school he could've really been somethin'. Anyway a good run overall, had a solid conversation about sk8ting.

Ran pre region today. Don't know my time so I'm not gonna put it in as a race report. Race went decent, went out slow and we worked together as a team and moved up throughout the race. In the last half mile everyone sped up and I just didn't have it in the legs, but everyone passing me was my teammates so I was good with it. We ended up going 4-5-6-7-9 and winning the race! We totally beat AF for the like the first time ever, and had a killer 1-5 spread. Good sign for BYU on Saturday.

Solid run on Bonneville. Felt really good today.

Pre meet to AF and back. 6x100 meter strides after

Pretty good race at BYU today. We did a two mile warmup and headed to the line. The gun went off and I didn't get a great start. The whole first mile I was moving up and passing people, ran with Jamison for a while. The next two miles I was in anywhere from like 5th-10th and I was feeling good. Ran with Josh Thatcher for most of the last mile, but he ended up kicking away from me with 400 to go. Once I hit the track I tried to turn it on, but ended up getting passed by a bunch of guys. Kind of a bummer, but my kick will be there when it needs to be come October-November. We ended up getting fourth, but Zack and Justin both had bad races, and I think if they both felt good we would have right up with Desert Hills. Afterwards i did three miles with the guys, then two more barefoot with Lil Warner who ran in the college race and did well. We had three former knights in the college races today, which was kinda cool.

Shoutout to Desert Hills because I was running with either Spencer, Sage, or Josh the whole time, and they really pushed me.
