This was a somewhat junky workout for me but it was an improvement from last week in my 1600s but when I&#39;m feeling 100% again next week I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll be able to wreck them and hit my times&nbsp;</p> Mon, 09 Mar 2015 06:00:00 Wed, Feb 25, 2015 http://JakeTaylor.fastrunningblog.com/blog-02-25-2015.html <p>AM- This was a new distance record for our 30 minute morning runs about 4.2 miles.&nbsp;We made it almost all the way to Starbucks which is pretty far like you don&#39;t even know. I felt fabulous this morning and I just wanted to sing for fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>PM- I got about 7.8 miles roughly and because of the Decatholon was just doing random laps in between events. Little A.J. Baker ran with me on some of the laps so that is swag.&nbsp;</p> <p>Today in the Decatholon was the 110 hurdles, 200 m, and the high jump. I did mediocre in most of the events. My hurdles I didn&#39;t really go fast I just gracefully beat everyone in my heat with a solid 20.48 or something like that. I soared over them as graceful as a golden eagle pulling a goat off a mountain. In the 200 m I ran a very impressive 28.84 lol trust me that&#39;s inpressive. Then in the high jump I just kinda took it easy did some light jumping and stopped at 4&#39; 6&quot;.&nbsp;</p> <p>Something dope of the day: Everyone look up Golden eagle pulling goat off mountain. It is sad but at the same time exceedingly funny and I&#39;d recommend watching it to anybody.&nbsp;</p> Wed, 25 Feb 2015 07:00:00 Tue, Feb 24, 2015 http://JakeTaylor.fastrunningblog.com/blog-02-24-2015.html <p>Did about 7 miles today 5 of them on our swag track, nascar is prolly pretty dope, then after lots of laps today was 300 hurdles and javelin for the Decatholon. In the 300 hurdles I was prepping to go ham. I ended with a 50.04 not the best but solid. Javelin was not anything that would impress any of you as I threw a not so solid 46&#39; 10&quot;.&nbsp;</p> <p>Something dope of the day: I ate a nature valley granola bar that has strawberry yogurt stuff on the bottom. If you haven&#39;t had one you really should. It was the dopest thing of all</p> Tue, 24 Feb 2015 07:00:00 Mon, Feb 23, 2015 http://JakeTaylor.fastrunningblog.com/blog-02-23-2015.html <p>AM-This morning was a pretty dope morning run. I woke up to a most grand surprise of a lushes beautiful blanket of snow across washington and there was great quarter sized snow flakes falling. Now if you aren&#39;t from St. George you might not understand the phenomenon something like that is but it was quite cool. The run itself was nice pretty cold on the way out with snow nailing us in the eyes but nothing I couldn&#39;t handle. On the way back just for the sake of Yolo I&nbsp;took my shirt off to let myself fully experience the snow as no little St. George kid ever has.&nbsp;</p> <p>PM-This afternoon was a swell run. We did some laps around the track for our entire run which was somewhat strange but if I ever decide to take the route of nascar I got to get used to lots of laps anyways so I&#39;m ok with it. After like 20+ laps we stopped for the great Decatholon of PVHS, this is a meet of epicness held by pv consisting of 10 events to find out who could be the best all around athlete, today was the 400 and shot put. In the 400 I didn&#39;t do well at all running a meager 1:05 but in the shot put I made it into the 21+ group throwing 23&#39; 2&quot; and who wouldn&#39;t be proud to have the rights of someone 21+. After all of this stuff we went into the gym to get swoll and I lifted like a beast getting some good benching, squating, and all the other stuff we&#39;re supposed to do. Additionally I added my own workout onto it doing 15 sets of 5 to get some defined triceps so that all the ladies will be calling for me ;) &quot;I didn&#39;t even have to use my AK, I gotta say it was a good day.&quot; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Something dope of the day: Well because of the great snow lets just say school was optional ;) so hung out with some beast friends and all I gotta say is &quot;Sanbergs&quot; :P you would have to be on our team and use some critical thinking to get that if you weren&#39;t there so sorry to stump some of you&nbsp;</p> <p>P.S. Sorry for the late entry tomorrow&#39;s will be on time 8:00 EST see Ya later!</p> Mon, 23 Feb 2015 07:00:00 Sat, Feb 21, 2015 http://JakeTaylor.fastrunningblog.com/blog-02-21-2015.html <p>Today was a super dope race and I did pretty good and it was fun I started out at a good pace and ran a good pace the whole time but it could of been a great pace instead I was pretty much comfortable the entire race. The only time I really felt like I was straining was up majestic and that was kinda hard but it was good. I had fun. Halfs are fun. Shoutout to Hellraiser for getting me back on here.</p> <p>Tune in at 8:00 pm eastern time Monday for next entry ;)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Sat, 21 Feb 2015 07:00:00
