Nate Hooper Running

I had asked Bill for my pace for this 5k and he said 5;20 which i really think would be just right. I got so caught up in the pack mentality and we hadn't done speed in over a month, so I had a hard time finding my pace and then just focused on winning. I led the pack from the beginning, then really took off at mile 3 and won by 20-30 seconds. Because I had gone about a 5:39 pace i was able to kick hard and I hate to say it but finished with a fair amount of energy left. 

All that said it was great to win and to learn. I think i could go 16:30 5k if i stayed foucsed during the race. Great course!

Was going to get 12 with Diwas, but his bus was late and i assumed he slept in. Went up to Zoo trailhead, then onto adventure run and turned around at 6. It was very hard mentally and physically. I was very sore but proud of myself. 

Met at EHS stadium, went up to sunnyside 6 strides 3 800's I went about 2;33 235 2;40 then went to mount olive cemetary and two laps there back home

My goal is to get 60 miles this week. Met at sunnyside, 1 mile. Did shriners 4 miles out 4 miles back. Worked it hard with Diwas and Anderson. Then ran home. Planing another 12 miler this saturday with Diwas.

Meeting with new coach tonight. She seems very positive which we'll be helpful. Still anxiety ridden about it

Met with Diwas at Stadium parking lot, went to shirners, up city creek canyon. Turned around at 6. Went 7;53 avrege mile pace. Great solid run.

Did mile warm up. Then did the Highland course as a threshhold run. Had the honor of doing it with Connor Baller and Garek. Glad to meet Connor and have Garek back. 

Mile 1 6;22
