Easy 3 miles today, my form feels weird but that's probably just from taking time off since state. Shout out to Thom because he got a blog!!

4 miles today, and it was nice to go a little further! My foot felt good, and it was a fun run. Shout out to Sami because I was her first choice today

4 miles easy, I kept the pace super easy today, for some reason I felt like I needed it. Maybe because I was up till 1:00 last night... Anyway, tomorrow we have our first speed since state, and to be honest I'm pretty excited for it. It's a workout we have really done ever, but it sounds fun!

We did a mile warmup on the turf then got started on the workout!

The original plan was to do a 4 mile progression run, starting at 6:00, then dropping 10 seconds every mile, the last one being 5:30. On the watch my splits were 5:50, 5:49, 5:33, and 5:18. The first couple miles were pretty easy, like we were talking a little the first bit. I still felt strong the last two miles, but the last mile was fast. Thom and Ryan picked it up quite a bit and I let them go. I shouldn't have let them go, but I did and I still finished faster than planned. I was caught up in watching my watch and trying to stay on pace, which was good, but I feel like we should've stayed as a group. I'm not saying it's their fault, I needed to step it up a little bit.

I have mixed feelings about how it went today, but I'm for sure happy that I was able to hit the splits I hit on legs that are still pretty tired. You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you are just groggy and unresponsive? That's how my legs have felt, I think the speed today woke them up a little bit though, which is good. Shout out to Connor because he's been visiting a lot of colleges recently, it's super cool to see him do the things he's doing this season, as well as all the other guys on the team, we've all put in work and it's time to get a return on our payment at NXR.

Just an easy 3 today because I went over yesterday, I'll be going 3 tomorrow too. Why can't my body just take the high mileage? Anyway, we watched without limits at my house, and if you haven't seen it, I strongly recommend it. You may have to skip through a couple parts, but it's a sick movie about Pre.

Easy 3 today, I had to wake up freaking early to time a 5k in Farmington so I was pretty tired for my run. I'm glad I got out there though
