The Comeback

Just a longer slower run. I went down to the trail(1.75) and I was feeling sluggish. I turned right into the wind until I hit the round about, 4.25 out. It was rough, but I didn't push too hard. Turning around with the wind at my back felt amazing. I felt so good and was running decent, probably like 7:15s, which is good for me on a longer recovery run. I just felt good was the main thing. Coaches got after us a little for messing around. I need to help others on the team get running and actually training. The Coaches are getting frustrated and we need someone to step up and as Bro Merrill said in class today: see a need, fill a need. So I need to step up for the team, even though I'm not really that kind of person. I was also involved in the messing around, I mean Fessder jumped on top of me, I had to take him down haha. but yeah.

47:35 total so not too fast. 7:30s ish but felt like I was just running not too hard. Ran with Will and just ran at a pace that didn't make my legs feel tired

Had a good interval session, ran most at 5 minute pace. We jogged the recovery for the most part today and that helped get my heart going real well. Hopefully the  hard work pays off. 4 miles after

1:01.50 total time, ran most with will. very tired from yesterday, also extremely tired after

5 Easy miles. Did a couple faster portions. Sore from yesterday's longer run, wednesday's intervals and also lifting yesterday killed the hammys. 

BYU indoor Meet. Ran the mile first, the hammys were still sore, and I was a little tired still. I felt like I ran decent, my time put me as the #1 spot of the heat so I went out fast and died a little. Also had a bunch of snot in my throat/mouth that made it harder to breath during those middle laps. Then I cooled down and rolled out my legs for like an hour. They felt even better than before the mile.

I ran the 800 after warming up for another mile, and I felt pretty good. I was again the #1 seed, and my time was 2:21.65, 62 overall and 6th in my heat. I felt like I was slightly more competitive and that my legs still had a little bit left. Today and the last couple days my breathing and heart rate have been slowing me down, not my legs as much, but the legs have later in the race, but the main thing is that as I get 400-1200m into the race I need to get to the point where I can feel relaxed more in my breathing. Maybe I'm just crazy. After cheering for some teamates in the 800, I went out and did a 4 mile run. I was planning on just cooling down, but then I wanted to go explore BYU. I felt way good on my run. I ran past the track, the state championship track, and then up the hill to the MTC. Felt great, up the hill I felt like I was getting the heart rate up. Coming back down I felt like I had to nearly sprint to feel like I was working hard. I just felt pretty darn good. Hopefully that's a sign of good things to come.
