Wow! What a great start to the school year! Today after school we did Stryners run. I ran really slow (because its a monday) and I was so sluggish. Sarah Bischoff and I turned at the second drinking fountain and Dallen said that was 3.2 miles. When we came back to the track we were at 6.4 so I did 2 lane 8 tracks laps to get to 7

Oh Yeah, and I had a fitness test in soccer, we mostly tested core, but we also had a running test.

AM - First morning workout! We ran the VA loop starting from the track. We all did 1 mile in the Cemetery but my calves were on fire!!! I ran with Dallen the whole time. Then we came back to the track and did hill climbs. Bill told us to do 8, but I did 13....... Because I finished but I noticed Isaac was still going and he had 4 left so I finished with him, then I finished with Alex because he had 1 left.

PM - After school, we had a speed workout at the track. We did a 1 mile warm up, 1 mile speed changes, and 3x1 mile repeats, then a 1 mile cool down. My times were: 6:51, 6:45, 6:38. I was going SO SLOW. But I felt fine
 

Today after school we ran to Fairmont park and did Strides! I didn't know varsity went to Liberty to do a lap so I just ran to the track, found out, so I ran up to Sunnyside and did a lap to make up for it, and when I got back I did 2 laps at the track. Felt Fine but I was really tired.

AM - we did a chase 400/200 kind of game in the morning. My partner was Dallen and we were really well matched the whole time until I really really busted my butt on my last 200 to catch him.

PM - After school we did a Hogle Zoo loop. We went up to the zoo, down to wasatch across wasatch to 13th, down 13th to 19th, down 19th to Sunnyside, down Sunnyside to the Track. It was my first run shirtless!

I was really sore from yesterdays heat and the chase workout. we did a mile warm up a mile speed changes a mile cool down, AND I TOOK THE GREATEST ICE BATH OF MY LIFE!

American Fork Grass Relays. It was a two mile race with hay bales every so often. I ran in my new spikes (and I LOVED THEM!!). I ran a 13:08 which I felt pretty good about but I feel like I am staying the same and I am not pushing myself like I did in Tour De Run. I need to break my barrier and build some confidence!
