4 carefree miles. It was a grand ol time running with me, myself, and I. When I got back I biked 20 miles with Riley and Kobe. Would've gone 30 but I was dying of hunger so that was cool.

Good times, my legs are finally starting to feel normal again so that's good. 5 miles then I biked 40 miles with Michael, Austin, Riley, Kobe, and Coach Colin (who we are now calling Gill because his last name is Gill) and it was way fun. Also I got the gnarliest singlet sunburn because I didn't even think about putting on sunscreen. We hopped on the MCT and went all the way to Provo canyon and even went up Provo canyon a little bit before we turned around. We also hopped in the river while we were up there and that felt ridiculously nice. Shoutout to the word hopped because I have now used it 4 times today and I hardly ever use that word

We did the dream maker 2.0 today (we're coming up with a new name, I promise, it's just a new course), and it went well! We started off, and Thomas and Michael were leading, with Austin and I tucked in right behind them. Pace was 5:10 at the beginning. About .5 miles in, we slowed to like a 5:30 and started up the first hill, and I said nope and surged past Thom and Michael. Nobody went with me... I came through the mile at 5:33, and finished at 8:19. I definitely could've gone faster, but it was weird being that far ahead. It was a good time though.

Ragnar leg 2- 6 miles on a slight decline at 3 in the am makes for some fast splits. I passed 47 people and the average pace was 5:20. My splits were 5:24,5:07,5:02,5:30,5:18,5:25. It was a good time. Shoutout to the only lady that told me good job when I passed her.

Ragnar leg 3- it was supposed to only be 3.8 miles but it ended up being 4.4... major downhill the first 3 miles of this one. It really hurt. First mile was 4:57, then it got even more steep so I had to be careful, 5:34 (quads and IT bands were screaming), then 5:12, just kinda hurt amd grinded though that mile. Then it got flat and I completely blew up. 6:28 was the next mile, and the .4 was at 6:46 pace. That flat part was the most painful part of the whole dang Ragnar. It was hot, I as dehydrated, and my legs were completely and utterly destroyed from the previous runs. Average pace on this one was 5:40.

Shoutout to the HJP for putting together this sick team, we took 5th overall, only behind 4 college teams. It was such a ridiculously awesome experience, so shoutout to them. And shoutout to Talon Hull for running Ragnar hill (6 miles up a ski slope) in just under and hour and doing it in the fastest time of this Ragnar, he's a beast.

Biked with Gan and Parker for like 36 minutes at a real easy pace... gotta recover from the Ragnar, I could barely walk yesterday lol. Rolling out straight killed too. Shoutout to the Hinckley's and Mama Hinckley for having us over and making us breakfast! Shoutout to Dallin because he's just pretty great

I decided I wanted to bike somewhere besides the MCT and I wanted to do some hills, so I thought AF canyon would be a good idea. I drove to the base of the canyon and biked up to tibblefork and then back down. It was 15 miles total. Afterwards I stood in the river for 10 minutes to ice my lower legs, I would've sat down but the current was really strong and I was worried about getting washed away lol. When I got home my left achilles/calf tightened up like crazy and it hurt to walk but no worries because I rolled it out and it's golden now. Total time was 1:01:02. I got up to 34.9 mph on the way down, I wish I could've gone faster but I was on the top gear on my bike (super old road bike from 1984) and I couldn't pedal any faster...

50 miles on the bike. 3 hours and 10 minutes in the saddle is a great way to spend your day... I started with Michael, Austin, and Connor, but they turned around about 9 miles into it. I got to 800 north in Orem and decided to go to my cousin's house and say hi, so I biked up a freaking 1000 foot climb (serious, check strava) and stopped by their house. The cars were giving me some really weird looks... most of the ride was alone, and it was actually pretty nice. Shoutout to David for hooking me up with a pair of biking shorts

I did the warm up mile with the intention of going full mileage today, but my calves were completely and utterly thrashed. They were screaming from the depths of somewhere not fun with a vengeance obtained though the pains of Ragnar. No forgiveness was to be had. Revenge had to be taken at some point. Lol so I biked 15 miles instead. Shoutout to Austin for coming with me.

A little more than 10 miles on the bike, and I did the last 5 miles in 14:31, so I was pretty happy with that. Hopefully I can run tomorrow

I was able to run today!! I went 4.68 with my dad and Logan,so the average pace was a little slower, 8:29, but it was nice to run for once in my life. My calves still hurt a little bit but not until like halfway through and it never got very bad. Shoutout to Guppy, Gan, and Mario because we saw them on their run.

Alright people, I need some input. What are we going to call this run?

We warmed up, then got going. The first .4-.5 miles were slower than expected, then I threw in a surge and Thomas went with me. We hammered the first hill, then started on the second. Thomas stuck right behind me pretty much the whole time and we finished strong within like half a second of each other so that was pretty sick. It took me freaking forever to get myself together afterwards. I threw up, and was about to fall asleep I swear. I need to get back on top of my salt intake. I was in a bad spot. Shoutout to Thom for killing it

"Easy" run today, so our average pace was supposed to be under 7. Warm up mile was 8:36, and our average pace was 6:44, so it was definitely a good time. Also weirdly enough, I found out that I am actually totally fine in a size 10.5 running shoe, and I've been wearing an 11... So that was weird. Anyway, shoutout to Guppy because she got a blog!
