Goal Type:

Local Elite

Running Accomplishments:

I ran a 17:58 5k, and my first and only 10k was 8 minute paced.

NEW 10K: 36:55

NEW 5K: 17:27

FIRST HALF: 1:23:41

I also became a distance runner in one cross country season, rather than be a ... sprinter *shudders*

Short-Term Running Goals:

I want to break 17 minute 5k, and if I can ... get really close to 16 to get me fast enough to possibly do college

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to run, and be able to run for life...

Some day I'll run a marathon, but I feel more partial to the Half right now ... It just seems like a better race to me.

Maybe if I run another half I will feel better 'cause I know what I am going up against.

Personal:

I love to run, and I am a graduated Senior moving on to college, not running on their team.  I didn't run cross country my freshman year ... (it makes me cry sometimes, what a mistake!) But now I wouldn't mind having cross country 24/7/365

First organized day of Cross Country Practice ...

I was extremely excited, We ran to the closer cemetery to the school and ran two laps.  And it felt nice.

Happy National Running Day, and Sterlings Birth Day oddly enough

We did the epic run, which was ... well epic.

And I felt good too.

Cross Country Practice Day 2

2 laps around the gully, we found Greg after 1/2 lap.

I felt slow, but it was okay, and I still finished with RJ.  I am afraid that my fitness is going to take forever to get back from Tony's workouts.

It's all coming together slowly.  Sterling, RJ and I ran to Legacy and back to the track.  It was a good run, but it was hot!

I already complained about heat last week.

RJ and I ran to some drinking fountain we ran to once during cross country last summer...

It was on foot hill, but it wasn't exactly four miles like we thought, heh.

Extremely hot again, darn summer

Well, today was practice

Down to Liberty 2 laps fireman, and another lap backwards...

Then returning to east.

Some people stopped at Great Harvest, but Scotty G and I weren't hungry.

As well, the entire day today i have had "danke schoen" by Wayne Newton stuck in my head, and have been singing it through out year book day.

RJ and I ran to the JCC from his house.  It was a great run, I felt excellent.  But it was sooooo freaking hot!

RJ and I went for a long run.  RJ was a little slow after mile 5.  I stayed with him mostly, he fell behind a bit, but I tried to slow down with him. It was from RJ's to Sugarhouse, a half lap, then the cemetery loop, 2 laps in the cemetery, and reverse when we got back to Sugarhouse.

It was a little cooler.

RJ and I ran to Shriners Drinking fountain.  It was a nice run, I felt like I was going way fast and the run felt a little short.

We went to Sunnyside, ran a VA Loop for warm up, ran 8 1 minute on 1 minute offs, played some Ultimate Frisbee, and ran another mile to make it a 6 mile run.  I felt great honestly, this season is looking good, i just need my fitness and base miles!

Crappiest run ever.

Thats all I can and want to say.  The hills were killer, and I hated all the up hill.  Down Hill was a good recovery and Susannah and I found some water eventually.

If you ever ran the Mt Sac Footlocker Course, imagine the hills for that, extended to 7 miles... That was the run.

So a nice easy run by my house.  It was a good 5, but I prefer not running by my house honestly, I hate that trail...

We ran 2 800's in liberty, 3 of the miles of which were in my flats.

It was nice, I felt good, but as I said this morning my quads are sore...

Still are really.

Cemetery Loop, sans cemetery ...

It was a nice run, I had to win it so I couldn't let RJ or Sterling pass me.  After I finished I felt terrible and decided I am done running for the rest of my life Great.  Atleast now I remember what its like to push hard, and I know how hard I can push now

Coin run competition.

Rj and I were on a team, and we went the farthest distance wise! But our coin flipped 3 tails, so the loop we ran was only a mile and a half away, which some people doubled.

It was a dissappointment, but a nice 7.

JCC/ DrycreakTrail.  It was good run, I felt great going up and down, particularly down though.  Then we did crunches and push ups.

We were at cottonwood complex. 3 mile warmup 5 strides, 5 hills, 3 mile cool down

That was a ton of warm up and cool down.

It was nice, my hills (which were about 500 meters) were 1:43, 1:40, 1:40, 1:41, 1:43

Liberty Park stuff.  1.5 mile warmup 1/2 mile fast, half mile recovery, mile fast, 1.5 cool down.

Now those arent the exact numbers but its close.

My 800 was probably 2:42

my 1 mile was about 5:37

So if any herriman High runners are reading this, and are doing step rock run tomorrow, fear the awesomeness. Because I will kill you in that race.

This was a weird hybrid of an excellent and terrible race.  It was a great course, even if it was just a mile and a half out, and then a turn around.  But there wasnt any competition for me after the first mile, so It kind of became a nice 5k run, not a 5k race.  My legs are still a little dead from speed and hills, but I won.

Its nice to get first, I might try and do this more often.

It was the Pipeline trail.  I felt like I had something to prove, as in the beginning Bill said, "you can turn around when one of the fast people passes you, like Ben or RJ."

So I finished before RJ.  It felt great, the water was cold!
