The Renegade

AM: 6 miles in a freakin snow storm at about 7 am. I was supposed to meet Sylvan but he didn't show up, but I'll give him a pass given the conditions, plus I've failed to show up to morning meetups haha. There was a good two inches of snow everywhere though, so that was fun. I ran up the temple area, did a loop there and turned around. It didn't feel very fast but 7:16 ap. 25 weeks till Ogden!

PM: Headed to the ARC after classes and did 4 miles. I tried watching youtube and netflix and stuff but my earbud cord was going everywear and I had to look down at my ipod, it just wasn't that great haha. 7:15 ap.

Workout in the am. Parked at Lundstrom, did a one mile warmup lap, then did 3xmile on that same warmup loop with a minute rest. Those were all around 6:10, so not that great but whatev, I dind't go super hard they were just supposed to be T-pace and it was cold. Then jogged out to Aggie Ice Cream to use the restroom, then jogged a little and started 4x3min hard with 2 min rests on 1200 E, (averaged like 5:50 pace on the pusheds, didn't feel very good) then jogged up the hill back to Lundstrom. The whole thing was 6:44 ap but it definitely wasn't continuous.

Did a run in Providence from Zollinger. Did NOT feel good so I kept it super slow, like high 7:00. I headed into Millville then went east, and unexpectedly ended up on the Deer Fence (which was kinda muddy), so I headed north on that then remembered the massive climb. Took advantage of the situation to try and get a CR. Started my first attempt, got about half way and realized my watch was paused and reluctantly headed back down the hill to start again haha. It was a good effort but I only bettered my 2nd place ranking. I'll get it back don't worry. Then headed down from Prov and still went really slow down hill and finally got back to my car, and I realized I was NOT going to make it to my next class, uh oh. Luckily I found out later there was nothing important going on. Also this whole time I was very uncomfortable due to overdressing haha, it was pretty warm out, hence the muddy not snowy trail. 7:50 ap.

Sucky run haha. I ran to the river trail then headed to the high school and did a few continous 200s on the track. It was dark by the end. 7:02 ap.

Pretty good run with Ben Smith in the morning. Met him at Lundstrom and we headed up 1600 E then toward Green Canyon, then south on the Shoreline trail which was awesome, then up the Highline Trail and back down the canyon on Stokes which was very snowy. Then up the highway and back through the nerighborhood. We had some good convo. It was also pretty cold. 7:16 ap.

Great run this am! Was supposed to be 15 but ended up being a mile longer due to some errors in my route. Go check it out on strava I guess https://www.strava.com/activities/792589737 but if you're too lazy it was a giant lolly pop looking thing with center and main in the middle. 4 rings big. Wasn't feeling that great at the beginning but started to feel the flow and the endorphins after like mile 8, plus this was when I realized I needed to book it to get home in time. SO I did the second half at about 6:30 ap, not too shabby. Also my longest run EVER, and it was done right in town, which wasn't too bad, it honestly would have been worse as a plain out and back, this mixed it up a bit. 6:47 ap.
