3 warm up laps and then the best buy loop. We took the best buy loop in the 7 minute range pace, my ankle didn't feel good. I need to ice it more. We did some barefoot laps on the grass, I did the first 2 but my ankle was starting to hurt significantly and I decided to stop and do planks instead. I went to Wasatch Running after the workout and I got my first pair of non-asics running shoes. The new shoe is Brooks Adreneline, I really needed a pair of new shoes. It feels unrealistically better! I had been in the old pair for nearly 6 months. I tried out the new Asics Kayano and the Broooks Adreneline, the Brooks feels so much different from the kayano! I like it a lot more, the Adreneline just feels faster. I also got insoles for my shoes, they feel kind of good.

We did the lower loop and then we did 8 flying 40s. It was easy, I can't wait to do 400s and other tough workouts. I also really want my ankle to heal up!!!

I didn't feel good today, I still ran a decent time of 41:42. A lot of things werent feeling great today, my throat especially, my ankle actually didn't bother me today. I am happy with my effort. It was fun, I was ahead of davis and cubby for the first 4.5-5 miles, at the top of the hill we were all grouped up, I led until the last 1.5 miles or so when cubby made a move from behind and I went with him. Davis fell off, i kept withing 50 meters or so of Cubby. We had trumoo and donuts afterward.

Good run on porter rock well trail, same as last week, and we went to kneaders again. It was a great way to start off the day! The run felt very easy and it was sub 7 minute pace for a lot of it so thats a good sign.
