I will do a run 30 mins after dinner, 4-6 miles. I had an allergy appointment and I got tested for 53 different things, got a flu shot and some other stuff, I'm tired. Also this morning I coughed and yellow dust/powder stuff came out... Weird huh? My dad said maybe it was a sinus infection that popped. When the doctor looked in my throat she said it looked really bad, I have an ulcer and its very bright red irritated and messed up. Also I found out I'm allergic to wheat, and some other stuff. I had assumed something was messed up because I've been getting lots of heart burn and weird throat problems and stuff for a very long time, well its nice to have that over with, still need to get blood drawn tomorrow but my throat is a little weird and I'm feeling tired, I will give it an hour or two and then I'm sure a nice run will make me feel loads better. Maybe taking care of all this stuff will help me run faster! Also I might be allergic to corn and onions, hopefully onions! I ran 4 miles, felt very weird, something was off, probably just really really need new shoes, maybe I will take care of that tomorrow, I actually might wear a pair of shoes from the summer or last track season tomorrow, these ones are really done! It feels good to be running again, even if its such a short run, the feeling I have is great! Also I got an email from Elder Kramer Morton today, that was really cool!

Finally over with getting blood drawn, don't like it, hopefully won't have to do it for many years. I will go on a run in 30 minutes, 6 miles today. I got new shoes!

I ran 5.7, a little sooner after getting blood drawn than I would've liked, my arm is still hurting, but I got back and went to the Jazz game, great game! The Jazz came in 5-16 and beat the 16-4 Spurs! It was fun! I will need to do 8 tomorrow and Thursday and 7/8 on Friday and Saturday so I can get to 40 or a little over. Weird weird week. Now I can't see out of a lot of my eye, shining afterimage is blocking it, has been for a while now. Add that to the dust I coughed up, this has been a weird week, my dad says that the dust might have been a sinus infection that pooped and dripped down my throat while I was asleep and then turned into mist and I coughed it up, makes sense. My vision has had troubles since my last concussion in 8th grade but this is new, maybe I'm just having weird side effects from the jazz game, I usually try to avoid places like dances and other indoor events with lots of people and weird lighting because it kind of makes me feel like I'm in a dream and makes it hard to think, ever since that concussion, so hopefully I will feel better in the morning. If not I might miss my first 2 periods and show up for the AP classes and a run.

Good run, felt good and ran well, I ran to Target and got some new sunglasses after I lost mine at state, same ones actually. Then I ran back home and did another loop to get 8.1 for the day. I felt better today, my vision is better today. Well I'm happy this week is almost over, and I'm back in the running mindset!

Solid run, my legs are sore which is very good. Two more 8 mile days will get me to the low 40s. I want to do extremely well this track season, I want to be as fast as I can be, and maybe even a little faster than that.

10.5 mile up little cottonwood canyon with Tayte, it was a dark day but very warm for December, it was a nice run! I was really tired on the way down because I'm still a little out of shape from my 10 day break. It was a good workout, this has been a weird week, I can't believe it went by so fast! Tomorrow I will take things pretty easy, 5-8 miles. 10.5 might seem long for the first week back but I read somewhere that your longest run of the week should be a quarter of that weeks mileage, I don't know if that's true or not. But 10 miles isn't too long, it was a very hilly run, first half all up hill and 2nd half all down hill!

Nice easy run in the cold, I'm pretty sore. This has been a good week of training, footlocker championship was sweet! 3 Utah guys in the top 27 and 2 Utah all-Americans! And the west won again, northeast and south aren't anywhere near the west and Midwest, it almost didnt seem like a fair matchup.
