Running From Finals

77 minutes:

Solid run above the neighborhoods! Josh came with for the first 12 minutes and then flipped! I kept nearly 7 minute pace the whole time with a few sub 7 miles! Saw a lot of people on the roads this morning! That made me happy! Also, saw some Sale Lake City Running club members out and about this morning as well, which was cool! Legs are feeling good, a couple weird deep pains in my calf, so I'm a little nervous about getting rid of those just cause it takes a bit more time, but those pains are inavoidable with racing, so what can you do? Got back around 7:30 and started the homework! The sunrise was nice!

Something Good: I was moving super quick and felt light on my feet today!

Something to Fix: I need to roll out my calves!

Song: My Cousin Greg by Houndmouth, forgot about this album definitiely nice to hear it again!

45 minutes:

This morning was pain! I got up at 6 and hit the roads! Ran up to the aves and then over to shoreline, and back to the dorm! Probably a little too much hill today! The trail was kidna brutal on the calves and the road up to the aves was no friendlier! Im gonna roll out good today and maybe do some Plyos later! Had dinner and talked with Vance and one of his friends last night for dinner! They're doing a ton of distance meets in the fall! Ethan and I are hoping to do the same!

Ouch! Today was rough and at the same time it was awesome! Ethan and I hit up 1500 E at 6:40 in the morning! Our first mile was a 7 then we ran a 6:24 and after that it was all sub 7s going up hill! I checked my heart rate after the run! The avg. rate rose and then did not go back down I was at 160 the whole run! Tomorrow we have got a workout so hopefully well be feeling better by then! I need to stretch again! Thankfully yesterdays pains were softened by a good session of stretching last night! 

For No One- Houndmouth

What a morning 60 minutes of running and 40 minutes of lifiting with Ethan, Josh, and Dillon! Our workout was hard and a bit messy! We did 2 sets of 1200 1000 and 800! The 12 was at 5:40 pace, the 1000 was at 5:30 pace, and the 800 was at 5:20 pace! All felt pretty great! I was feeling worn out after the first set but kept pushing! One fantastic thing was on the second 1200, I was pushing and around the end of lap 2 my breathing started to quicken, but I maintained pace and relaxed and recovered before I started hyperventalating and it made me pick up the pace! It felt strange but also really awesome! One semi crappy thing is that I did let up a little bit of ground on my 800s! I came in just about 5 seconds slower than Ethan on both of those! To be fair he did pick up the pace but nonetheless, I don't like slowing down once Ive started! At the gym we squated did a little abs and benched! Also did calf raises! Im stoked 3 hours of working out today felt like just what I needed! Also, I skipped class to lift but sometimes you just need those kind of days hahaha!

You Still Believe In Me- The Beach Boys: I'd never listened through Pet Sounds before, it was nice

45:

Today was less painful than I thought it was going to be! I ran foothill through some neighborhoods to the golf course and then ran to hogle! It was good! I saw a few quicker runners on the road today which was fun! Now, I need some chill time!

Don Juan Tango- Dispatch: Man Dispatch's new albums are beautiful! Some of my favorite stuff that Ive heard in a long time!
