Check out my Mixtape

It was pretty cold again and once again, I forgot gloves so I decided to use a pair of clean running socks to put on my hands so they wouldn't freeze as fast. We were gonna try to do 3 miles of hills for our workout, so we ran over to one of the blocks in Hyrum that has hills in on 2 sides of that block. We would run hard on the hillly side hard, and then take it wasy on the flat side. It was a pretty good workout that wore me out real quick. It definitely the most productive workout ever. My legs didn't have that freshness and pop that I usually have, I'm guessing because of how hard I lifted on Saturday. Finished at 4 miles, then cooled down to 6.

Went to the Sports Academy and did 3 easy miles on the treadmill which felt real nice. Then I did some upper body lifts and worked on my core. I am not racing this saturday so I hope my milage will be somewhere from 45-50 miles this week.

Today Hayden, Eric, and I did 7 somewhat easy miles throughout Logan and Providence. The loop was the same 7 mile loop we did about a week ago. As we were up by the Temple we passes Cameron and stopped and talked to him which was cool. When we got over to 4th north thats when everything started to slow down because a lot of the sidewalks hadn't been shoveled and it was pretty slippery. The whole run I was freezing, my gloves are terrible. The average pace was 7:30 and probably would've been under 7 if it wasn't so slippery for the second half of the run. Glad to be done now and warm up.

Well today was actully very nice outside. It was warm and sunny, so it made my whole mood about running even better. Eric and I just did 6 miles and a moderate pace. Starting at Mountain Crest then doing McDonalds loop all the way down to Lincoln Elementary. My first miles were a little slow but the whole run just felt so nice. On our way down to Lincoln I let my imagination take over and I imagined if I was in the Freedom Run for the last mile and a half. That just made me pick up the pace a ton. The downhill felt really good too. When we hit 3 we turned back and did the same route backwards instead of going on a loop. My average mile pace was a 6:39 which would've been a lot faster if I wouldn't have taken the first mile and a half so slow, but that's fine with me. The workout was really fun. When I got back to the school, I checked my phone and apparently the run was supposed to be 7 miles and not 6. Oops, my bad. I will just make up for it later in the week. I'm not going to the Sports Academy tonight because I'm going to Crystal Hotsprings with my family which should be really fun. 

Today has been one of the better days that I have had in a couple weeks. I wasn't as tired as I have been in a while. The workout was 7 miles of 400 meter intervals, and then 400 meters easy between each interval. Each fast interval was about a high 4 to low 5 minute mile pace. Doing intervals on Hollow Road makes that road seem so much shorter which is nice. We were supposed to finish our intervals at the end of the road, and just take it easy back to MC, but Hayden and I did the intervals all the way up Nibley dip, then we took it easy. I actually had a really fun time. It was quite warm and I ran with my jacket around my waist. I hope that groundhog is right because I want warm weather so bad. Finished with 7 miles.

Did 4 miles at Sports Academy on the treadmill. The first two miles were in 11:46, then I took the last two a lot easier in 14:07. Then I went a did some lifting working out my legs, back and core. It was getting late but I shot around for a couple minutes too. I had a really great day working out.

Easy 6 miles with Hayden and Eric in Hyrum. Started at MC and went around McDonalds loop down to Lincoln. The air was a bit chilly but it felt good. Ran with my jacket off. Average mile pace was a 7:05. We got a pretty tough workout planned for tomorrow, so that should be good. Goodluck to all racing in Boise today and tomorrow.

The air was so warm so I wore shorts which was awesome, which really excites me for spring. Hayden, Eric, and I did a long hilly loop through Providence and Millville. On the flat parts we ran at moderate pace. Anywhere from 6 to 6:30 mile pace. On the hills we really tried to pick up the pace and get in a good workout. After the biggest hill in Millville, it was so darn hot that we all took our shirts off. I'm sure the people that drove past us were thinking that we were a but of idiots because it still only about 30 degrees. We ran back to Zollinger Park in Providence and dropped our clothing off at the car. Then we ran to Hayden's house to get a drink because I was so thirsty. Pushed the last mile at a good pace and finished at 8. Really glad to get out and run today. It was a beautiful day! No Sports Academy tonight. I have the Sweet Hearts dance that I'm going to which will be fun. Peace.
