Started from the bottom now I'm…slowly improving

FINALLY got tayboy to come run with me! Prolly because it wasnt until like 1 in the afternoon but hey. So..ive had a goal in mind since before summer training to run up this trail in coral canyon called Mount Everest (aka cardiac arrest) its super duper steep + few switchbacks, but have always been a little weary of the idea. So as we passed the trail head today i told taylor my little goal and said i was planning on doing it sometime this week and she said "well why not today?" so we did! it was difficult but not as lengthy as i expected. Boyer hauled it while i did my best to keep up. Felt good to kick off 2014 by accomplishing what seemed like an impossible goal at the time of setting it.

Finally with the team again(: ran mostly with Anna which was great! 

Only ran two today so I could run with my aunt and uncle tomorrow and not go over mileage. 

went for a nice little run with the famdam. (adam, nat and momma) quite the little work out. Ran down mt. everest trail then through coral canyon to the water tower. Not only was this trail steeper than mt. everest but it was longer too. But it was a fun challenging trail. If you need me ill be rolling and stretching my legs for the next two days. :)

4ish miles. Harts warm/cool 2x1000 on track. My trimes were supposed to be 6:30 ..and I don't remember my times..😁 but I know that they were lot faster like round 5:40.  I felt like my pace was strong but not all out. Like a moderate jog.

Trail run! Way fun! I thought heading back would be killer cause the first 1.5 mile was pretty easy and all downhill..but the back half wasn't too bad..and I didn't fall at all so that was good(: I'm feeling great! I'm prolly in the best shape I've been in my whole life. No joke. Runs are still hard but I recover faster and enjoy them more :) 

tempo workout. was suposed to be holding 9:50 but we ended up around 10:20. I felt like i could have been going faster but it was just me and anna and she didnt know the route so we stayed together. Weights after

3x1000 I was gone last week for the kosmin test so I don't have my new mile time so I just shot for 5:40 again but the clock wasn't working and I didn't have a watch. So I wasn't able to pace myself. Times were 5:15, 5:23, 5:57. Not very consecutive..I'm sure I could have done better with a watch or somethin. I kinda wanna just take this kosmin test thingy tho so I know what pace I'm really supposed to be going. 

Trail run Tuesday. Haven't decided if I like these or not yet. They are hard but fun I guess. :) 

18 min tempo. Well I was super tired but we kept a 10:05 pace so lots faster then last week! 

So supposed to do 2x800 on old man hill...but Anna and I had no idea where to go so..we guessed. It felt like we went between 4-5 miles so...that was an adventure. 

Did lots better today! I decided to try for 5:30 on my 1000 cause that was sprta kinda my average last week..still haven't taken the kosmin so dunno what my pace really should be. But I went 5:30, 5:38, 5:35, 5:42. The beginning of my last one was really slow but by the end I think I could have pushed harder.  Very thankful for  no school..I decided I like running in the morning way better than the afternoon😁

Trail runs are tricky cause we never really know how far we go cause neither Anna or I own a watch..so it felt about 3 ish. Legs are sooo sore but in a good way I suppose. 

Easy 3 with striders. 

4x1000 5:35 5:27 5:30 5:23 goal time 5:30 average 5:29
