Today I did the figure eight loop, when I was about to finish I found Ashton as he started his run and I did another lower loop with him, I wish the track was open. I am pretty happy I did 6 today because tomorrow I have a math test retake appointment in the morning and then a dentist appointment after school so I think I am only going to do a mile or two, I also have a lot of physics I need to get study. I have a LOT of tests this week, 1 in AP US history, 2 in Computer tech, 1 math test, 1 physics test, and oh yeah a lifeguarding test. It is pretty crazy. I got my PSAT results back, it was a 1620, not very good but I was tired and didn't finish a lot of the test so it was ok. I can't wait of the ACT, I am really excited to see how I do! I am way more excited for the indoor meet though, I really want to race a 1600! Today I felt good, my legs felt good, everything felt good except for some things around my stomach, I don't know what it is. I have no clue, but whatever it is, it's just getting used to running again haha. I am really happy I can just jump back into decent runs without too much trouble, it is really nice not to have to start a season after taking a 6-8 week stress fracture recovery break, its the first time since I have moved to Utah that I have had a good offseason. I feel like I am finally awake agian, I love the feeling I get all day every day when I am running. I think I will just put in a decent returning week of something like 30 miles, I think I will probably do 6 miles on wed-friday and then 4 or 5 to finish out 30 on saturday. I will have to talk to Coach Murphy and see if this is a good plan. I want to be running in 40+ miles a week again by the time indoor track comes around, and I also want to do some speed the next few weeks at the oval and maybe some hills. I really want to run some great times in indoor and set myself up for a great track season.

Its definitely good to go into the season w/ a lot of consistent running and no injuries. You'll run well indoors... when is the first meet?
