Ran to the Brighton track and did 3 tempo miles in 17:26. Originally I was just going to try to run under 18:00 but after the first mile I decided to go for it! So not sure what I want to get at Draper days. I guess I will just race hard and find out. Then I ran home, also played racquetball.

Sore from yesterday but got through 5 miles, I sat down at a park I was running through and took some time to enjoy the nice day about 3 miles into the run.

Went for a 6.25 mile run but sprained my ankle 5 miles in. I felt the tear and heard some pops but it wasn't that bad. I walked home just fine. I was looking forward to Alta run but I think I should play it safe go easy on it and hopefully it will be back to normal for Draper days but if not its not a big deal.

Took this day off to be cautious with the sprain.

Short run to test out the ankle, felt great but I had a huge headache and felt like I was about to pass out the entire time. Kept it simple and short to be safe.

Still have a headache that's giving me trouble but great race today. I went out at a good place and held on the entire race. The reoccurring problem is that I don't have a watch anymore and I haven't gotten a new one. I felt good though besides feeling like I was about to pass out the whole time haha. I got in sight of the finish line but I was like no way that has to be the mile left mark or that it was a two loop race or something because it felt shorter. So I came up to battle this giant corner canyon kid but I was like I'm going to look really stupid if this isn't the finish, so I backed off which was a mistake but I still finished in the same time I did 2 years ago before my senior season of cross country and I was putting in double the mileage I am now back then. I also got the OK to start increasing my mileage again so next week I will probably go for 40-45 miles or so on 7 days. Turns out that corner canyon kid ran like 4:26 this year so I feel pretty good about sticking with him. Post mission Blake is going to be faster! I cooled down with Andrew Lawson, good to see him before he leaves next week.
