An easy 6 with Ethan, Didn't feel so easy.

"Everybodys gotta live" by the band "Love"

307

Surpassed that 300 mark on the shoes today. Noticed the insole is starting to wear. Made me a little sad. Went an average of 6:40 pace today. We were cooking. We also had 850 feet of elevation gain. Id call today a success. We went to the top of campus over the top of foothill. Then we bombed down to Sugar House and all the way over back to the dorm. My side stitch is still hanging around not quite sure how to kill it given pedialite didnt work haha. The run was nice had a few good laughs too.

Spent the day climbing then did this one at 9 at night. Went to crimson then back into Washington.

Watched Nic Race, It was good to see him fight for some quick times.

One of my best workouts. Did it in the rain on the new track. I was stupidly soaked but I felt no pain whatsoever and the rain made it fun. Also ran into Holt on my last rep.

I PRd today. One of my best runs I've ever had. I ran up Turkey Farm clear to Yellow Knolls. Hit the first mile @ a 6:35 then booked it up 1200 feet of elevation in the next 40 minutes keeping an avaerage of 7:10ish pace on the way up. Then I turned around at Yellow Knolls & booked it back down. I clocked my first mile in at a 5:55 second at a 5:45 then a 5:55 then the rest were all 6:00-6:05s on the way home. I finished with 6:38 avgs overall and a half marathon time of 1:26:38. I could not believe it. I didnt even feel all that tired. I was shocked especially with the elevation gain I encountered throughout the run. Im wondering if I might be able to go after winning a half at some point soon. 

In other news Im back home because they cancelled classes which is both really really nice and really quite sad. I'll miss running with Ethan every day. The world is feeling so chaotic wiht all of these changes hitting so quickly. It feels like some surreal events out of a book. Don't exactly know who I'll run with now that Im home as well. I might end up mererly having to go solo for the time being. I also started 100 years of Solitude & Born to Run. Im not sure what to think of Born to Run there are a few things about the story that somewhat irk me. 100 Years of Solitude however has been a very strange and engaging read. 

Also did 8.3 miles of East Rim Trail today to shake out the legs with the fam. Was really quite beautiful. Id missed the strange beauty of home.

Took a nice quick run down to Sullivan & Back with Josh & Xander. Sounds like Dylan is headed back wihtin the next couple days cause of the Corona Virus. Should be interesting. 

Also read about the song "Glass Onion" by The Beatles today. The meaning behind the song is quite funny. It's a metaphore about people peeling back all of these layers to a completely transparent object. John Lennon wrote it as a reaction to fans reading too deeply into their lyrics, which caused all sorts of conjecture about the band such as the conspiracy that Paul McCarteny had died. The song is an engaging reaction to the strange behavior of people.
