Dallin's Awesome Blog

Today's workout didn't sound too bad... but it hurt a lot! 6x1min uphill at mile effort. I started out maybe harder than I should've and was tempted to give up and give in at the end! But I didn't. I hit around the same place on the hill every rep and felt really good about it :) Mark texted me today and asked about my schedule but I'm still not sure if I've got the job at Utah Run!

Nice run today with some of my favorite people! Nothing hard. I am racing the 800m this week to actually qualify for BYU and hopefully get a decent PR on that sad time😂

今天很糟糕。我一點兒累！我的胸弄傷到。你說：為什麼？我也不知道。請幫我朋友們！

Today my chest felt better... until the run. Pre meet kind of killed it and it is difficult to get enough air. So tomorrow will be fun🙂 I'm actually really excited tbh!

Well my chest felt better today... aside from that, my achilles flared up again, my stomach hurt in a nervous way, and the wind picked up more than I'd like. The first lap I played pretty safe - hitting a 61 - next 200m I picked it up, pitting myself in 2nd - hitting a 28 or 29 and on pace to hit or go under 2:00 - last 200m my legs were like "Hello Dallin, wake up, you do realize we can't move, right?" just about stumbled over myself because I couldn't pick my feet up - 34/35😬 I will by surprised if I didn't get DQ'd because I stepped on the cement a couple times lol. I am praying for low mileage soon because I've burnt out this week! My achilles can't take much more.

May we all take a moment of silence for my dear Hokas. Though they grew old and frail and failed to support my achilles, they worked wonders. They helped me up from a hip flexor injury. They took me through many hard and challenging workouts.They even stayed by me in a few races. Thank you Hoka One One Tracer, but now is your time to move onto a better place😢 50 min of biking. Came up with and repeated power phrases throughout my run. "Fight hard. Stay strong. Dig deep." like a broken record!
