Train insane or remain the same

Hey guys its good to be back! Lets make this last season a good one aight! 4 miles with Nathan Cook, Parker Hunt, Cameron, and Mason, some of the younger fellas. Had some aches and pain the first mile, came in with a 8:05 lol #blazing hopefully thats the only mile this season thats above 8 (not that 8 minute miles are bad) but stretched a lil and felt better. Finished up the 4 by trafalga, the twins, over the overpass. Weather was an 11 out of 10. 36 has never felt so good. Running is just awesome. 

AM: 5 at 7:35avg pace to spyglass. It was the same temperature as it was yesterday after school so it felt amazing. It was slick and had to be cautious at times. 

Went a mile over today because D'brickasean was in town!!! and we had a big group and stuff. Went up killers and turned left by the fire station. Felt good. The weather was super nice so I ran in shorts and no shirt. My hands got really cold but other than that it was just peachy. Saw all the Westlake gents embarking on their run on my way home. 

AM: 4 on redwood 7:29 avg pace. Slick but warm. 

Came home for 4th and took a three hour nap. Then went and ran 4 on redwood 6:54ap

7 at 6:55ap. Ran on redwood. Went passed Spyglass on Parkway Blvd which I had never ran on. Just ran and saw where it went. Not many cars so it was nice. Ended up by the church I pass earlier in the route. Turned around at 3.5. On the way back hoped on one of the paths leading to the dirt path right by the lake. Ran on that back to the neighborhoods. Ran on it a couple times when the weather was warmer. It cut some off and finished with 7. 

3.75 out to the AF Cemetery by the fishy park. 6:57 ap. Just your nice avg distance run. Gonna get hecka turnt at Asa's tonight watching the national championship game. I got back 30-28 

7 miles with some strides. Forgot my watch today 

AM: 4 on redwood, 7:05ap.

PM: 4.25 7:03ap loop around airport and junior high. Repped my Pine View basketball shirt #seeyouinthecircle 

8 at 6:38ap. Went down main and did a loop by my old house. Fun to run by there again and think of the memories of my long runs and stuff during junior high. Saw Kirby Gray who was my young men's leader for like 6 years in my last ward and is the awesomest dude ever. He is responsible for most of my good qualities. Turned at North Lake park and finish on main. 

Ran on the rail trail and on the way back went up the secret stairs for the first time in a long while. 6:53 avg pace. 

Went Sledding with Garison, Reeves, Sid, and Big D IV at Tibble Fork and it was super fun. Shout out to them for inviting me. The snow was a few feet deep and the hill was steep so we got some good cardio climbing up it 20 times. Got home and tried to get on my run asap so I could get the most done before it got dark. Felt gross at the start from the Wendy's I had earlier in the day, but it got better as it went on. 7.25 at7:27ap. Shout out to the Patriots for getting it done today against the Cheifs. 

Ran up the hill by Sami's and then airport. Had some slower miles to start but then felt better when I was running by Freedom. Back by the Jr High. 6:57ap 

2 mile warm up. Switched shoes. 2 miles of speed changes. Then finish up to lil over 10 by Abby Padillas house. Good stuff 

AM: 5 at 7:21 ap. Took the earlier turn so I didnt have to run passed the dog that always scares the crap out of me when i got farther than the usual 4. With that route, 2.5 out was exactly at the stop sign. Last three miles were all 7:17. 

PM: 5 at 6:50 ap. 4 with Kobe and then finished up on the track. Kobe is doing the 4 and 8 this year so he's going faster on his distance runs, so it was fun having him there to go fast with. 

2 mile warm up loop with the guys and then up airport and back then by stewarts house and back. 7:05 ap.
