We ran reverse ladders on the track today. 4 laps 5:30 pace, 3 laps 5:20 pace, 2 laps 5:10 pace, 1 lap 5:00, 200 meters all out. I did great on set 4 and 3. Struggled with set 2 but made up for it by running 4:30 instead of 5:00. Tried to keep up with Spence on the final 200 sprint but he got me by a couple feet. Felt good to be back sprinting. Hip still is sore but improving. Hope to do good at the Alumni meet.

Did 4 easy miles in the 90 degree heat later today.

Ran Miller run today as prerace for the Alumni Race. Felt fine and ready for the first race of the season

Ran the Alumni Meet today. It was very hot and humid. I did ok tried sticking with Joe and Spencer the first half of the race and then passed Joe on the dirt trail. Lightheaded with about a mile to go. Finished second in 18:15. Beat last years time by 20 seconds so some improvement and some hope after no pain in the hip for the first time in a while. Shout out to Spencer for killing it today and to Branson for pulling off a Spencer with zero training.

Today was Blacksmith Fork Hill repeats. Had to do 8 of them. Was very sore from yesterdays race. Tried to stay the same finish time on all of the repeats. Could feel my hip acting up again so still not quite there yet in the healing process. Shout out to Andrew for getting out of bed to come running finally.

Ran Peavine today with Spencer and Eric. Just nice and easy after a hard week of running. All of us were worn out and tired so it felt nice. 

Went up by beaver mountain and did the varsity relay. The girls and boys varsity all went up there and then we were partnered off. So one would be running a mile while the other is biking the mile and then switching all the way to the top. I go partnered up with Allie so we were the first group to finish at the stopping spot. Hard to know the milage because my watch was being funny so I'm just going to say 10 miles about.
