Wasatch Pepperwood loop with Pulpy and then 1.5 mile loop on my own. I felt good today, plenty of energy.

2 mile warm up, the 12x200m at 1600m race pace with 200m jog in between each, the last few were pretty hard!

Up to late, I had family over, I ran around the city, it was a peaceful run and gave me an opportunity to think, I should be more positive and concentrate on enjoying each day a little more instead of just anxiously waiting to see how things will turn out. I just heard we are meeting on the track at 10, so I will be there!

Warmed up 2 miles, then did 1600m in 5:18,jogged a lap recovery, 4:06-4:08 1200m, slow. Them another lap recovery, then 800m in 2:32, little too slow, then I jogged another lap and ran a 63 second 400m, kind of wanted to run faster. It was a hard workout, probably did too many hills yesterdays run, I'd say I did 2 miles of steep hills yesterday and 2 miles downhill too, so i was a little tight in the hamstrings and calves today. But i definitely needed a workout like this, my arms were hurting a lot today, which i take as a sign that I'm not getting enough oxygen. I think I'm going to start taking albutoral regularly, 2 puffs twice a day, and two puffs 15 minutes before i race, that was working in cross country pretty well. I need to take things one day at a time and do great training, i really want to make USU track and cross. I also need to start pulling together a monster kick at the end of races, something like a 65 or 64, maybe even 63 to cap things off, 68 isn't fast enough, I need to do better. At the meet next week I'm going to run sub 4:30, I'm going to medal, and I'm going to run sub 65 for the last lap.

Awesome run, it felt really good, and today was very beautiful and perfect for running. I ran the Wasatch dimple dell loop, I'm excited about running more in the future. I'm going to get past 50 this week and I think I'm going to start doing some extra running each week just for fun. Tomorrow I will run at least 8 miles not sure where. The gully long run is completely closed off.

I ran about 100 minutes with Tayte, we ran up Bell canyon in little cottonwood from his house, then ran down and over to the gully and through to 9400 and ran back from there. It was a really good run, great views on that route! He's going to kill it at the mountain running nationals this summer! I'm going to be on my mission by then, I will have to save my mountain running days for later! This has been a really good week of training.
