*Leave*A*Legacy*

After debating for a long time of how far I can push myself, I decided that I would probably break in the next few weeks if I kept up the higher mileage stuff, so I decided to drop back to 55-65 miles for the next couple weeks til I feel ready to move up. 8 miles out on the provo river trail. after did some L 7 stretches for steeplechase! getting really excited for that but from the stretches I see that I am really unflexible 

Felt some weird hamstring tightness in the workout. 1600, 800, 400 x2 for me

runwith clayson. up to Mary Jane and then got a little loopy, then back down. got my hamstring all taped up and worked on

workout of 800, 4x400. felt decent. could feel my hamstring so I didn't push it at all and decided to do the minimum 400's that coach suggested (he said 4-6) all in about 62 or 61. 800 was in 2:16. Goal for saturday is going to be 8:20 presuming that my hamstring feels better. 

Nice easy run. 7:40 avg pace felt nice! legs are starting to feel pretty good after being wrecked for the past little while. I think mileage for this year will be between 55-65 with an occasional 70. just don't want to get injured

2 mile warmup, then got my hamstring taped up, and put heat on my back. Got spiked up, and then some strides.

The gun went off, and there was a ton of pushing and shoving for position, i got clipped and pushed a few times, but made it to the outside at the first turn, then decided to surge up near the front to get out of the mess. I found myself behind Zac Jacklin and held with him til the end. In the middle of the race I passed clayson and he took his number off his hip, and slapped it on me haha, so i took it off and slapped it back on him. Felt like I had more in me at the end, I think I should have and could have gone faster, just was a little nervous passing guys on the team that I felt were more experienced and faster than me. But overall a great race and very  happy with the race. 

8 mile cool down with Jake,  and Josh Collins and Christian ricketts from SUU
