16:07. First mile was 8:18. Last quarter was 97. It was hot. I wonder if I should do more miles but run slower. This was definitely workout pace and felt more like anaerobic training.

8:20. Did this after work. It felt easier than before on this kind of day, lungs hurt a bit though. I need to meal prep so I don't go hungry and warm up better.

1 mile with Gideon! I am so proud of him that he did his first mile only stopping twice! He did 4:20 and 4:42! I did one more in 8:16. I am grateful for my health and for still having energy after working 10 hours.

17:42. It is seriously hard to make myself go slower. My whole running life I have done my easy runs too fast. Hopefully if I train at a slower pace, I will get faster without burning out.

17:21. First mile was 9:00, I took a 4 min break after the first half mile. I just love running so much. I am extremely grateful I get to run.

8:42

1 in 8:57. Then did a half in parts at around 8:40 pace. Then half mile up the hill in 3:33, and last half back in 4:37.

One in 8:38 and around one in around 8:00. It's only 70 degrees but it feels so hot.

9:03. I need more sleep. I worked 10 hours and had very achy joints.

One in 8:18 I think and then one in 8:58.

9:00

Even though I exercised way more than this, I will just count it as one. I worked 9 hours and then went to Provo to play with foster kids. I ran around the whole time basically. Joints hurt too much to run. Maybe I should get a nice watch to better approximate how much running and distance I do on an average day. Maybe not though, it's probably expensive.

17:43. I took quite a few breaks. Need to be careful not to get burnt out. I had a really incredible experience meeting up with a sweet couple that didn't know what to do about their unplanned pregnancy. They were happy for the support we gave from Pro Life Utah. I don't know who reads my blogs but if you are, please consider joining Prolifeutah and help save women and babies! We need lots of help!

Around 17:20. I felt unmotivated for life but forcing myself to run was the best cure. I need to remember days like this. When I have no desire to work hard or get things done, I must go on a run no matter what. Even if it is a 100 meter run. Just get something done and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

8:43. The sky was breathtaking. Hopefully reading this blog again one day will bring back the memory of it.

17:24 with Davis and Taylor. They are twins. Taylor is much more enthusiastic about running.

1 in 8:50 and after a short break did 1 in 8:51. I think if I didn't work I would be totally running 6 miles a day or at least way faster. I need to stop telling myself I am lazy just because I am running less. I always wonder if it is ever possible to balance energy for exercise and life. Like Elder Bednar said, "There's no such thing as balance". I guess I shouldn't strive for balance because it doesn't exist.

I worked nonstop from 7-11 so I didn't run, I think the amount of work I did is plenty exercise.

8:51. My body is tired from working. I'm not sure if this type of fatigue is supposed to be pushed through or rested, but I'd rather be careful than run myself into a ditch.

23:00. Google maps said it was 2.9 miles, but it's close enough for now. Ran this with Taylor! He is stronger than me and I have to ask him to slow down. He loves the gospel more than any boy I've met. I should take him to the track and see how fast he can do a mile.

I felt very tired after the run and didn't get to rest because I had to work 10 hours. Probably need more electrolytes and sleep. I was out of breath most of the day and oftentimes dizzy. I can run a lot as long as I take care of myself.

23:31 with Taylor. I asked if he was planning on going to college ever. He said he was not. I told him knowledge is power and God is truth. He said he is grateful for my advice and is reconsidering. I hope he takes it and goes to college. I also gave him the scripture D&C 58:26-29. We need to trust the Lord but also be anxiously engaged in good works by our own free will. We shouldn't wait to be commanded in all things.

I felt much better today and my heart didn't feel weird at all. I think I was right and just needed sleep and keep electrolytes more balanced. Still worked extremely hard and was sore from moving things but I think running 3 every morning is going to be just fine.

23:07. I am very blessed to get to run with Taylor. Having a running buddy makes running very fun and motivating.

I was a little tired. Just needed more sleep. Life is good, even though I've been working more than I have in my life, I feel so blessed.

27:08. Did it on my course alone which was a lot harder. It felt good though since I went slow.

26:40. Even though I am running less, I feel like the fitness I have now is the same as what I had in the fall 2023. Overtraining can be just as bad or way worse than under training.

O.9 miles in around 8:00 pace. After a surge in 13.25 Taylor and I ran a mile around the track. He got 6:17. I am much slower and I didn't do my best, but at least I found a nice boy who is faster than me! He passed the test in jeans, which probably slowed him down. We ran 0.7 more in around 8:45 pace. My lungs hurt.
