Train insane or remain the same

So today we ran the dream mile and a half. This was like my 6th time doing it, something like that. It is flat for like 400 meters and then we go over the overpass, a small ish hill, and the middle of the overpass is .5. Then we have a gradual downhill. Once you hit this 4 way stop, it starts to incline. It levels out a lil by the junior high, this is about 1.2-3 and then you hit airport hill and its very large. You climb airport and then have 100 meters to the finish. My pr is 8:24. I got 8:43 which i think is good for only having a few days of running under my belt so far this season. I started out pretty good going up the overpass, going down the other side moved into second. Felt strong, I just couldn't kick it into the next gear to get around sub 8:30's. Gapped Austin who was behind me by the jr high, cuz the hill is my strong suit. Over all good performance. Had a snack at thom's house and then headed back. 

Shout out to Sir Matthew Todd. He is going into the MTC on wednesday and Im gonna miss him. We have had some sick adventures this past year I've became really good friends with him. He came today for the first time this summer, cuz he was on vacation at Yosemite. He hadn't had a real run in over a month and ran the dream mile and a half today and got right around 9 minutes so great job to him! Matt you kill it and I am gonna miss you and yur fire blog/twitter/insta. 

Shout out to Preston the babe slayer Warbeast cuz its his birthday today. Ol Pdawg i've only met you like once, but you are a chill dude and have killer blog. 

Didn't have my watch so I think me and garison went six and a half. Garison is actually motivated this year and if he stays that way will be a nice addition to varsity. He did very well his sophomore year, then did nothing junior year. Hopefully all goes well. After we went to Kneaders for the final hoo-rah while matt is still in the country and then we went and balled hard. It was a stellar performance from yours truly. I chanelled my inner lebron who will go off for 42 pts tonight and the cavs will win 94-89. You heard it here first. 

Shout out to Athens  

Easy distance run towards the gazebo at 7:16 pace and some lifting after. Afternoon time  I went on a bike ride with Strrt, Austin, and Michael. 

Matt went into the MTC today #cryingemoji but he's doing good things so its ok. Shout out to the birthday girls Whitney Measles and Annie Slater 

A couple miles and then a 3 mile tempo run. Our range is 5:31-5:45. My splits were 5:37, 5:44, 5:41. I like speed workouts better than tempo runs but this one was good. Hit the splits fine, the middle one would have been about the same as the last one but we took a U turn in that one.

Shout out to Me because a few days ago I guessed what the score of the NBA finals game was gonna be, and I was 2 off of everything. I said it was going to be 94-89 and lebron would have 42, and the actual score was 96-91 and lebron had 40. Crazy stuff. 

Shout out to these guys for sick performances at the NCAA track and field championships; Jason Witt from BYU placing 3rd in the 10k, only losing to Ed Chesereck and Eric Jenkins of Oregon. Nate Jewkes of SUU placing 14th and Spencer Gardner of BYU placing 16th in the 10k as well. I cant remember his name but some guy from BYU, along with Mike Hardy from Weber qualified for the finals in the 3k steeplechase. Shea Martinez from BYU failed to qualify for finals in the 800 but the field was stacked and she made a very gutsy move with 400 to go to take the lead because the first 400 was slow, and gave everything she had. 

1 mile warm up and then a few games of sharks and minnows (yes I did have to look up how to spell minnows) which I got like .25 and some hard surges. Then we ran towards eaglecrest for our distance run. Average pace 7:15, a nice recovery run with a little bit of hills. Got some new Supernova Glide Boosts and they are feeling awesome. 

Gonna watch the finals tonight in the ncaa mens track and field championships tonight and the woman tomorrow so i'll have some rad shout outs for you. 

Good luck to my homies Austin Tamagno, Carlos Villareal, Destiny Collins, Lucy Biles, and the one and only CONNER MANTZ running in the Adidas Dream Mile tomorrow!  

Ran with Collin today. We ran in the heat of the day and it was collins first day back from efy, he had been running but he didn't feel good so it was at 7:31 average pace. We ran up the hill by Devon Moore's house and the church below chicken nugget and matt's house. I felt really good. When we got back to the high school I had some more mileage to do so I did it barefoot around the baseball and soccer fields. Then we went and jumped in the creek. 

Shout out to all the people in the dream mile! Also shout out to Ed Cheserek for his double in the 5 and 10k, he now at the end of his sophomore year already has 8 national championships. Also shout out to Andre De Grassi for his double in the 100 and 200, taking down studded fields in both of them. He put up some amazing times, even for being wind aided. 

Good luck to Jenna Prandini from Oregon #hearteyeemoji  She will run in the finals in the 100, 200, 4x100 and the 4x400 if they need her. She is the main scorer from oregon and hopes to lead them to the team title
