AM- Went to the rec center this morning for a run. 2 mile warmup, 20 minute tempo, 2 mile cooldown. Did the tempo on the TM, and the warmup/cooldown on the track. Would have ran outside, but 25 degrees didn't sound very good today.

RACE- Once again I ended up running the Rock N' Roll Las Vegas Marathon. One thing that I both love/hate about this race is that it starts at 4:30 in the afternoon, so I had the opportunity to not be in a rush earlier in the day but also have to patiently wait for the afternoon to roll around. Got to the runner's village about an hour and a half before the start of the race, because there were so many people when combining both the half and full marathoners in one event. Gun goes off and from the beginning I try to settle into my goal pace of around 6:30-6:35 per mile. Quite honestly for the first couple of miles I was shocked of how stiff my legs were feeling, considering that I thought I had tapered just right for this race. After about 7-8 miles in, the legs started to feel better, and I was able to start getting into a good rhythm. Half marathon split was around 1:25:15, which made me a bit worried for the latter miles to come, but I was feeling really comfortable at this point. Once I made my way to about mile 20, I knew that I was going to be able to safely break three hours and run a personal best time. For miles 21-23, we run through a very confusing flat mini-golf course, and end up making several sharp turns throughout. Being that it is very dark during this point in the race, I somehow lost about 1 minute by making a wrong turn on the course, so I had to back track to get back on the correct route on the course. As much as this upsetted me, I tried to stay positive as I made my way towards the finish. Came through with a new personal best and my first sub-3 hour marathon! Overall I am very happy with how this fall racing season has went. I was able to PR in both the full and half marathon distances, and most importantly enjoy each race that I ran. I am still planning on running one more half marathon on Thanksgiving, as a part of the runtastic events, but I don't necessarily know if I will race it competitively. Probably will take a few days to recover and just reflect on my past races.

AM- 40 minutes on the assault bike this morning. I am not sore at all, but I just feel a bit run down from traveling over the past week.

PM- 5 miles easy from Aggie to home. Wasn't going to run tonight, but I just felt like getting in some easy miles. 7:47 average.

AM- Easy laps at Legacy this morning. Might go trail running later this afternoon after classes, and explore a bit instead of hitting the roads.

PM- Ended up going out to McCoy Trailhead for my afternoon trail run. 10.3 miles with about 1,200 ft elevation gain. Took it really slow with the elevation gain/loss and the rocky terrain that was there. Got home, ate dinner, and then went on a 3.3 mile shakeout run with Ty. I am a little tired now haha!

AM- Crossfit workout this morning. 35 minute amrap: 10 burpees and 1 minute assault bike. Didn't keep track of the rounds on this one, but I kept the intensity on the higher end. Haven't done burpees for quite a while, so those were pretty difficult.

PM- 5.3 easy miles from home. 7:34 average.

AM- Ran the Thankful 13 Half Marathon today out in Lehi. It was a pretty fun race, even though it was cold and rainy for most of the day. I didn't race it, and just ran it as an easy run. I think my time was like a 1:36, so right around 7:20 average. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on the blog!

AM- 12.3 miles starting from Vernal City Park, out to Naples, then back to the park. This week I will probably not be running much, only when I feel like it, then I will start training for my upcoming races in the spring. Thinking about doing Salt Lake City Marathon in April with some shorter distance races and time trials along the way.

AM- 5.1 miles from the park, down towards Maine, and back to the park. 7:47 average. Roads were pretty wet and slushy, but still a pretty good run. Either going to start my training block for spring next week or the next, but the first two weeks will be easy miles.

PM- 5.3 miles in between math sessions to help clear my mind. Felt good 7:27 average. It was nice that the roads were dry.
