Decided to change my usual route up by including an out and back into North Logan. I don't plan on doing that again any time soon though because at around 4 miles I got attacked by a rather strange dog. I was in a rhythm at a fast pace and boom, it jumped at me and I pushed it away. It wasn't big and if it had a collar I would've pinned it but it didn't. It didn't bite but it didn't go away either. It took me yelling and getting mad at it to go away.

Went on another long run today. Talked to the coach today and he want's to put everyone going to footlocker on the same workout plan as Jerrell. It is full of speed workouts with one like everyday. I don't think it would be good for me to switch my running that drastically nor do I plan on doing this new plan at all, though I might steal some of the workouts for some speed days.

Quick run around town. I've been contemplating doing a 5K tomorrow.

I somehow found the effort to wake earlier than I wanted and run this local 5K. I was expecting a small turnout but in turned out the race did a got job getting people out. I was wanting to make this like a speed workout for the week. I just trained through this race unlike the last few where I gave myself some rest the day before.

After a mile warm up I got to the start. The gun went off and a guy took off pretty quick gaping the the pack I was in. No one moved any moves to get him so I did. I caught him, he ran out of gas and I started pulling ahead. Soon though I was caught myself at about 1 mile. Henry, teammate from the cross country team started running right beside me. I ran with him the whole rest of the race and he kept surging and then slowing down hoping one of those surges would work. With about two blocks to go he surged again and gained about 10 ft on me. About a block left I kicked into another gear and went past Henry did not respond. I finished about 5 seconds ahead of him and 15 seconds on Kodey, a USU biker who used to run cross country in high school. I got in a 2 mile cool down in my racing flats, which I finally fully broke in. I've ran this course a few times before and it is quite notorious for being a bit longer than a 5K, so I was not that disappointed with my time. Later I went on a bike ride up to and past Amalga, leaving me wanting more.

Got new shoes today! There a lighter training shoe that I think I'll start using for workouts more and maybe a few races. Around mid-day I went up to Green Canyon and did 2 1000s, one uphill another down and 4 400s, all at R-Pace. I was running fastest towards the end of the workout, which I think I just needed to warm up more. Later went on a 4 to break in the new shoes.

Did a speed workout today. 6 400s at R-Pace with a 3 mile warm-up and an 800 cool down. Legs felt light.
