We are who we choose to be.

PM- 1.5 warm, 3x1600s @ 85% (goal time:5:41), 1.5 cool, weights. Felt pretty nice prior to the workout and my legs were feeling fine. Ran the workout with Logan, Josh, and coach. Started the workout and was right were I wanted to be at around a 5:41. On the second one we stayed consistent with a 5:42. Josh dropped out on the last one but me and Logan kept in strong and finished with 5:41 again. It felt so weird and great to be the first guy behind Paul on some of these. Super cool and feeling freaky fresh.

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Did some yoga afterwards and it felt really nice this morning.

PM- 5 miles trail Mustang Mass route. Felt good on this run but the ground is so uneven on this trail! I swear I rolled my ankle like 5 times! No biggy though. Ready for the long run with some tempo tomorrow.

PM- 9 miles with 18 min AT tempo. Ran about 3 miles before starting the tempo and then we were off on the 1.5 mile loop. My goal pace was 5:50 and I was hitting that or at least around that for the whole first lap, but then about a quarter of the way through on the second lap I just died. I fell off of Logan and Jake caught up to me with about 3 minutes left and he pulled ahead with about a minute left but I stayed somewhat close behind him for the rest. Ended with a guestimation of 6:03ish. Good preface run for the 5k this Saturday! Super pumped for it. Weights afterwards.

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Talked a bit about Elite MInds afterwards which was fun.

PM- 3 miles easy+2xoldmanhills. Felt super dehydrated and congested today going into it and didn't really have high expectations, but I did pretty well under the circumstances. Finished strong on the first one and had a nice push on the second. Legs killed me today from yesterday, but hey that's life. Stretching, Rolling, and Yoga will be the rest of my day.

PM- 3 miles easy and striders.

St George 5k- Ran a 2 mile warmup because it was flipping cold! Me, Cam, Paul, and Nick were all registered for the race and Matt was helping to pace Paul and Nick, and Krenny and Dave helped me and Cam. Started out super fast with a few legit runner guys and I stayed with the top pack (about six of us) for a while, but then decided to conserve my energy. A guy about my age ran next to me and passed me, but then I just kind of drafted off him until he started to slow down. At about mile 2, I started to take off to try to catch Rodney (who was in 5th at the time), but I didn't end up getting him. Ran a 17:37 though for the 5k which is good. Cam finished a few seconds behind me in seventh and Paul was 4th and NIck was 3rd.
