Today there was just a bit of confusion between a few of us and my coach.. he sent out a text to all the track kids to let them know that we will be practicing at the PE facility inside the school but a few of the xc kids got the text.. so me and bug went to the pe facility and only sprinters were there so I call up my coach and he's like oh sorry you guys run outside rain or snow we'll have the girls wait for you guys. So they started to leave and I went running out there to tell them to wait for bug and they took off so I turned back so bug wasn't running by herself. So it was just me and bug on our run today. We didn't even know how long we were supposed to run or nothin but we just did some good guessin. We went out into the blizzardy weather for about 55 minutes and boy can I just say that it is way hard to run  in slippery snow! you can move forward very well and the wind and snow in your face doesn't help. Well I still had fun out there even  though it was freakin Freezing and my shoes and bottom my my pants were sopping wet and ears and legs and knees and face frozen.. but other than that.. good little jaunter in the first real snow :)
I had also run a mile or so earlier on the treadmill for fitness class this morning.. bonus there eh!

Today was a Great Run. I just felt great throughout the whole run! I was perfectly dressed for the weather and I ate a simple snack (not a full lunch today) maybe that helped!? Well today we just did a big loop up by golds gym and the university mall.. and of course a few of the girls had to take a bathroom break so the rest of us just ran circles outside the store till they came out and when we were headed off again this guy pulled over and rolled down his window and asked who we ran for and we were like UVU-- Utah Valley University and he said.. well i have something for you guys. He handed us this envelope and inside there were coupons to eat at Pier 49 for Free! Ah Yeah :) Just for doing a little jaunter outside eh! So that was a good booster on our run!
I think we went about 6.5 miles or so we went about 55 mins to an hour today
And another plus for me.. I stayed with the good top people the entire run today!

Today we ran on the road that goes right by the railroad tracks.. down by utah lake. For some reason today just didn't feel as good as yesterday.. I just felt way good yesterday and today i felt like a was working extra hard to go the same speed. Also to add to already not feeling like I couldn't go as fast.. the bottom of my left foot was hurting the entire run. So I'm not sure what that is all about. Well at least one good thing was that the time just flew today.. we ran about 55 minutes

Today was another difficult day for me for some odd reason.. I feel like they just go fast everyday and I think I'm really not supposed to go their full workout but I have been so maybe I'm just not ready to be running that long cause I am fatigued every day. hmm
Well we just did a big the big loop like we did on tuesday but just kind of backwards. We went for 50 minutes. We did abs and a cool push-up workout.. I didn't think that the pushup workout would have hurt that bad but it sure did.. we only did 10 pushups but you had to hold it for 15-30 seconds between each one.. man that hurts. After practice we hit up Pier 49 pizza and used our awesome free pizza coupons.. Ah man it was amazingly delicious!!!

So basically there are only so many runs you can do around here ya know so we have run out of new ideas. So guess what... we did the same loop as we did the other day but just backwards. We went down by the lake. We always seem to break up into groups.. super fast, fast, and regular. Today that is what happened. There was Karrine and Shelise up in the super fast group and Stephanie C, Aleina, and Katie in the fastish group and me Bug and Stephanie T back in the normal regular people group. It's not like we were going slow today or nothin... we were averaging 7:50 ish miles.. I mean we had to go for almost an hour so I felt like that was a good pace to be goin and that is what felt right so that what I did. I didn't go kill myself to keep up today I listened to my body :) On the way back we stuck with steph, aleina, and katie  so.. We had a small group today and I kind of liked that.. it was more fun with our smallish group

Today was freakin Great!! Me, Bug and Katie Rowe went and drove up the canyon to run in the freakin BLIZZARD!!! It was snowing like crazy and we went up this steep trail and then it leveled out and the snow was like a foot and a half deep! It was insane! I loved it. It was probably one of the most difficult and tiring runs trying to run through that stuff but it was a blast. we kind of had to turn around after about 10 minutes out and go back to the parkway trail instead of the "dirt" trail because it got a little too narrow and we didn't want to slip of the mountain or nothin so we headed back to the real trail.. it wasn't as deep of snow but it was still difficult. We ended up going a total of 45 minutes with the snow pelting our faces.. we even stopped half way through and made snow angels and more when we got back to the car. Fun yet Difficult day. We were only running for 45 minutes but we were out there for like an hour and a half.. Good little jaunter eh!
