Train insane or remain the same

2 mile warm up and some strides. Then did the 1.5 mile race with the guys. The best name they have rn is Skyrim so that's what I'm calling it (everybody else is calling it the kicker lol so dumb) Was sitting behind a couple guys when we came thru a half mile and I felt like we weren't going fast enough. I surged to the front and up the hill by buttscratchs house. Pushed the long hill and felt good. Tryed to push the last half mile, it was all flat so it was kinda hard to pace. Came thru in 7:59. I'm gonna try to run it one more time before I leave cuz I know I can run 5+ seconds faster. Went over to Skyridge and played some soccer then ran back. 

Met Garek at Sugarhouse park at East's practice. 1 mile warm up and then we did a light tempo on the old state/highland invite course something like that. Started in a group of 6 and Nate and this other kid stayed up the whole time. Splits were 6:20, 6:21, 6:10. Cooldown with Garek and Nate 3 miles on 15th. Those guys are super chill. Then I went with Alli P to Roxberry and hung for a lil bit. Very fun day. 

A couple miles and then some speed changes and strides. We did the 6 minute test one of my favorite workouts. My previous best was 2,045 meters. I wanted to PR and also lead from the gun. First lap came thru in 70. Perf. Second lap came thru in 2:22-2:23 and Collin lead a little bit. Can't remember the 1200 split. I think we came thru the mile in 4:45. Faster than the 4:52 or 53 I came thru last time. Ryan was now leading. He had a couple seconds on me the fifth lap and I never closed it. Came thru 5 laps with 10 seconds left I think. Got 70 meters. Pleased with it. I could have done a better job of fighting more on the fifth lap. 

Cooled down some on the grass then towards Smiths and drove back. 

2 laps of the warm up lap. Did the push up challenge and got 35, one less than my 36 last time :( then ran out to Sami's with the group and back with Austin. Good talk about life. 

Met the mission boys (Asa, Landon, Josh, Spencer) at the creek. We met at 7:30 so Asa could say hey to the other guys but once again we all forgot that they meet at 9 on Fridays. We still gotta see them after the run but it kinda sucked getting up so early and going str8 to run. 

We ran over to the rail trail and went out 2.5 to the great divide. Took a break. Had a nice talk then and the whole time really. Came back. We all kinda pushed the pace so it was 6:40ap. I'm really gonna miss running. 

I need a day to sleep in. Getting up early pretty much everyday this week was hard. Drove up to salt lake and met Garek at Sugar House. We did a 5 mile loop. He went and did a couple more miles and I stretched and did a couple strides.

After we went to the Orginal Pancake House which was delicious and then went and hung out with State Champ and State record holder thee Courtney Wayment at City Creek. Did some nice shopping. Then we went and had a BYU camp reunion with Aubrey and Ally. We played soccer and let them win.
