Snow Canyon Warriors Track

Aaron is out of town, back in Michigan. So running by myself this week, lets see if i can keep the quality up and hit my times. That will really show if i am ready.

10 miles by myself, felt good and kicked it up at the end. Kept good sturdy pace.

1 hr of lifting at my friends gym, great workout

8 miles. not as quality today, friend was on his bike so didn't move to fast. Kept a good comfortable pace, but didn't keep consistent pace, which made me mad. Oh well just an easy run for big workout tommorrow and doesn't matter as much.

Last big workout till Foot Locker. 8X800's suppose to hit 230, 225, 220, 215, 230, 225, 220, 210 with a 400 meter jog break inbetween. I was stoked for the workout then got out to the track and saw that half of it was covered with water and I had a headwind on the backstretch that didn't really help me as much on the homestretch and it was still raining. Decieded to do it anyways and see what i could do and have fun splashing throught the water. I would be a challenge and help me if something comes up like this at foot locker.

I took 5 seconds off the times, because that is about how much they were off with the stuff, maybe a little more but 5 is good.

1- 2:31- equivelant to 2:26 a little to fast

2- 2:26- 2:21 still to fast

3- 2:23-2:18still to fast, could not get into a rythm at the begging and was to antsy and running to fast.

4- 2:21- 2:16 almost right on

-9 for the first half then the second half i could not keep it and ran slower, so made me really mad, i need to stop starting hard and have nothing left at the end, getting better with my training helping me keep it though.

5- 2:35- 2:30 right on

6- 2:30- 2:25 right on

7- 2:29- 2:24 a little slow

8- 2:21- 2:16 really slow which made me really mad i could not pull out a faster split

+10 on the second half so all together i wall only +1 for the total time which made me feel good and see that i had an okay workout, considering all the crap in my way for the workout. Still think i am ready for foot locker and know i can push through rough times, I  am getting really excited and can't wait to go do something.

Could not find time to get a run in. Felt really mad. Its okay anything hurting will be healed and okay to take one day off.

10 mile run with mom on her bike. Felt bad at the beginning after not running yesterday. Got everything going and decieded to do some hard miles the last two. Felt good and felt pretty strong not to 100 percent though. This whole week has been like that i go off and on on weeks though so next week should be a good week.

By myself again tonight. Did 8 mile run on the trails. Felt pretty good. Then went over to the track to do Haydence. I had to do it in front of a girls soccer game, but hey i guess thats okay. Did my 10x200's and went -10 today 1 second faster than last weeks -9. I believe i am ready for this race and can't wait. Felt really good during the workout and had some people asking me about my running and telling me good job and that i looked good, which was really cool.

Happy i pulled out 3 28's in the workout and especially at the end where i used alot of mental force and told myself i would hit 28.
