I went to Alta with my team and we ran up there, we did some easy laps around the parking lot before starting the long run. I ran the 3 miles up to the campground and tried to stay with my coaches, Kramer, and Braydon but I wasn't able to. I stayed within 100 meters, maybe 50 of them up to the campground but the last time I saw them was at the beginning of the 2nd lap of the campground. Then I ran back down and waited for people, when Kramer and Jake got down I did a lap around the parking lot with them a pretty good pace. I had a solid run today and I pushed myself, I am a lot stronger of a runner than the first time I did it this summer. If I had known I had time I would have done another lap or two but I wasn't sure. I just need to keep running hard, maybe drop some pounds and I will start feeling really good and run fast.

That's a good run today. Just keep plugging away and putting in the miles every day. When we go up there again in 2 weeks, you'll be able to stay right up with us on the hill climb.

It doesn't seem to me you need to drop too much weight, you already have lost a good amount. Just for a little while longer; skip the push-ups and hit the core.

Nice job Blake. We'll work up to 12 miles soon.

Good advice Ashton. Maybe coaching is in your future?

Thanks guys, that will be awesome if I can keep up with the lead group for the entire hill and 8 or so laps. Yeah, I need to keep doing more core work after runs, I haven't done any sit ups or bicycle kicks all week. I will have to find some way to put in my run from today, it doesn't work on iPod, maybe library. I can at least put the miles in right now.
