3 easy miles this morning.

8 muddy miles out on the trails behind the school with the boys. A lot of fun and just what the doctor ordered!

Met up with Dave this morning and did our usual loop. Pretty cold this morning but still quite enjoyable.

We had the Panther Relays today which is a fun meet in the middle of the season where the team can get a solid workout in while having fun running nothing but relays. They also have a 1600m race for the middle schoolers and old timers. Dave beat me last year and I wanted to redeem myself. I warmed up and got some strides in and watched Dave run the 800m leg of the medley. I guess Dave wasn't planning on running the 1600m. He planned on running it with Rylee. Dang. 

The gun went off and I worked my way into 1st place. I felt good while some of the high schoolers went around me. The wind started to pick up and hit the first lap in 1:16. I knew I would have to gut it out to break 5:00 today. I pushed a kid out of the way at the 110m mark because I needed to move. As soon as I thought this, the wind picked up even more. It seemed like I was barely moving and then the wind would die down. I kept working for this one. I hit 1:13, 1:14, and then finished with a 1:13. I ended up lapping a few people which helped but I was slightly disappointed in the time. I knew if the wind died down I could have gone a little bit faster. Oh well! This was still a lot of fun. Nice to have parents and the runners cheer me on.

The team had a great time today and overall it was a giant success.

Did a loop from my house, through Santa Clara, down Dixie Dr., back up to Snow Canyon Parkway, back towards Santa Clara, and then up to Ivins. A new loop I thought of on the fly but I really enjoyed it. I did the first 11 miles at a brisk pace but just wanted to get the legs warmed up. I then hit a 5 mile tempo. My miles were 5:34, 5:30, 5:28, 5:25, and 5:33. Much better than last week. I kept the pace honest back to the house. 19 total miles with 6:40/mile. 

Solid run to end the week. Felt much better today than I have in a long time. Hopefully I can keep it rolling.
