just for the run of it

today's been a bit rough. fell asleep at 7 last night cause i was so dead, but then woke up at 3 wide awake. tried to go back to sleep but didn't for a couple hours. woke up at 7 am then gave up and kinda just sat around for awhile. didn't realize i got a text last night that's said practice was at 7:30 today. finally at 11 i realized my mistake and headed out on my run before it was too hot but didn't really succeed, it was blazing. luckily it was just low mileage. 7:36 ap.

pretty much i roasted alive today. first half the run felt pretty good, second half i started really feeling the heat and regretted having lunch. 7:52 ap. all in all it was ok though cause im with the team again. took an ice bath which was refreshing. shoutout to connor and asa and josh who are all gonna kill it on their missions, im really gonna miss them, roasting and all.

first day of xc camp was quite a party. our run started at memory grove in slc and kinda went up the canyon. first half was all uphill, didn't feel the greatest but we paced ourselves well. the way back parker decided to join us for a bit so shoutout to him. was feeling really good the way back and picked it up the last few miles cause i love going downhill, last mile split was a 6:15. ap overall was a 7:55. unshoutout to watson who got lost lol, good thing was we found her. ended the day with some water fights.

ran at deer creek for camp day 2. rolling hills were pretty fun and the run flew by. last 3 miles were easy pace which was well fun lol. ap for the whole run was 8:05. did some abs and hips then went down to the lake. joined the triple dunk club... three times. unshoutout to well everyone that participated. went to the solw after for an ice bath. 

last day of camp. headed up to park city and ran on the real deal rail trail. ran 5 out and headed back. the last 4.5 of our run was a progression run. it was pretty rough considering it was all uphill the way back and there was a strong headwind. still negative split every mile and finished strong but that was one of the hardest workouts mentally ive had in a long time. shoutout to hannah and brynlee cause they both killed it today! did abs and hips and raced mario and watson by rolling down a hill then running to a bench, which im proud to say i won. really solid day, camp was a blast. 

got up pretty early, but it felt good not to be in the heat. recovery was much needed today. just did a loop by watsons house which was quality. got to see marios grandpas giant pumpkin so that was sick. did abs and hips.
