Before I headed of to camp we did a run at the jordan river parkway. I was only going to do 4 miles like the rest of the kids going to camp but of course Barnes talked me into going the full 7 miles with him. I had already went up the hill and back down, then found him so I had to trudge back up the hill again. I got just about 8 miles on that run.

Off to good old XC Top of Utah camp with rhs team.. Barnes let me come with them :)
I ran 5 miles up to camp. It was really hot and up hill so it was hard but I got to the first water stop (about 2.5 miles in) and got like 3 cups of water dumped on me which helped a lot and it was fine finishing the rest of the run.

Later we ran from the Logan pool down on the planet walk for a recovery run. 4 miles at 7:53 pace. Once we got back we had a good bbq and then off to go swimming.

We did a relay today. On my team I had Stockton, Allie, Bailey, Logan, and David. We did alright. The relay was 5x600m loops. Which was about 2 miles. with warm up and cool down it was about 3 miles (my laps were: 2:32, 2:28, 2:30, 2:32, 2:23)

Later Barnes took us out for an easy 4 mile run before our guest speakers.

I did the morning speed mile (all downhill) and got a 5:24  -- plus a mile warm up

This was the end of camp..... run from camp back down to the tiny grainery. (4 miles)
The first mile I took it real easy. for the other three I ran it at 6:29, 6:41, then 5:57 min. miles. I stuck right behind zak and that jordan beutler kid.

I headed off to girls camp today and didn't get a run in before we left so I had to get in a little run while I was up there. I was staying at redman campgrounds up by solitude.. so I ran from my camp up... 1.5 miles up to silver lake, then I ran around the whole lake and headed back down which was a total of 4 miles. I actually got rained on pretty good for a few minutes. I just took this run very slow and easy because my legs were hammered from xc camp and I'm going to do a half marathon this saturday.

I got home early from camp and I just needed something small for the day before my first half marathon so I just ran to centennial park and did 4 quick 100m strides there and back home. (2.5 miles nice and easy)

I woke up freakin early because Barnes talked me into doing my first half marthon. I woke up at 4:00 am so i could get down to provo and catch the bus that was taking everyone up the canyon for the half marathon. It was crazy down there.. I've never done anything like this. I got talked into it because Barnes said he wasn't going to race it and that he would run it as a training run and stick with me the whole way. Barnes is the best coach ever :)  He helped me keep a good steady pace the whole way.. and of course we sped up the last 3 miles. We averaged 6:46 min. miles and finished in 1:28:57  I think by I was about the 7th girl to finish (first in my division) and about 45th place overall... i think 
Yay!!! My First Half Marathon !!!!!

I of course got a delicious breakfast and a two and half hour nap in afterwards :)
-- and the legs are officially dead after all the camps and a half marathon
