Bunny the Cow

2 in 16:23. 
Then a little later did a 3x1000 track workout. 3:44.6, 3:46.4, 3:54. It was going well for the first 2 but the last one I had to cough a lot. My lungs have had a lot of mucus for some reason lately, and it usually doesn't affect my running too much, but it really did today. I also feel like my breathing seems a little more panicked than it should. I wonder if it is an allergy, or air, or diet problem or something.
2 more in the afternoon in 16:50.

3 in the morning in 25:32. I was very tight in the morning. 

Then 3 in the evening, while it was snowing in 23:40. About 3 inches of snow today!

3.5 in 26:54. Then 2.5 later before dance in 18:19. I feel like easy pace has been harder lately, but today felt very good, fastest easy pace in a while. It's easier to go faster when your legs will freeze if you stay out any longer.

3 in the afternoon in 23:29, and then 3 at night with Jacob also in 23:29.

3x1000 at the Orem track with Sasha and Joseph pacing. 
3:42, 3:46, and 3:49. Didn't cough nearly as much, sore legs from dance so it was more painful though. I am very grateful that I didn't have to do the workout alone, thankful for good people in my life.
Rest of the miles were around 7:30 I believe. 

I talked to a lot of friends today. Video chatted a new dear friend from Russia for 2 hours, in Russian! Got to teach her some English also and tell her more about my religion. I hope one day she would like to join the church, but it might take a while. 

I am just so overjoyed for the gospel in my life!! I am so thankful for the love I am able to feel for others. I was never able to feel so much love for others before, because I didn't apply the gospel to my life. I am so thankful that I can change and become better through Christ!

46:53. Last quarter was 1:22, it felt unusually easier than normal. Usually this speed takes a lot of effort.

Today I tried to study for a few hours but was unable to think straight. Thought I was tired but I really just needed to run. Also just feeling inadequate and stressed, but like always, running got rid of all those feelings. It is just so incredibly how much good a little run can do! 

3x1000 at the track. 3:46, 3:49, 3:41. The first 2 I just paced awfully. Maybe the wind contributed, it was around 9 mph. Did better than Saturday without pacing so that is good!

3 more in around 24:20 (last mile was 7:26).

3 in 23:54, later did 2 in 15:45, then 1 after dance in 8:19. Not enough time to run. 

At dance I was unusually very flexible today, just thought it was weird. At night it was so peaceful running in the calm snow. 

I don't understand why I feel like I never have enough time. The one thing I stress most about is feeling like I'm never doing enough. I think I need to manage my time better. I only work a part time job, but somehow I can never get enough school done in the day. I am going to plan my days out better, I'll see if that helps me be less stressed.

Around 47:00 or 46:30. Last quarter was 1:20. 
Easy pace feels easier. I ran way to close to dance class so I was tired.

I managed my time better but still am not getting all of the things done, need to stop procrastinating for my run also.

26:24. I ran after dance class (not a good idea), and also saving energy for the race. I hope dance class won't affect the race too much because I feel drained from it.

5k race, 21:33. I still am having problems with too much mucus and coughing, I think it is the cold weather, because it started when it got cold. Maybe I just need to ignore it better and focus on running. 
I was too worried about breathing I didn't even feel as tired as a 3k, need to push more.
ran 2 later in 16:15.

3 in 24:45. Then a couple hours later did 1 in 7:40. And 2 more a little later in 15:56. I procrastinated, really no reason. I just feel like there is never enough time so I push running to the side. But if I run first it will help me be more productive, so I need to stop doing that.

3x1000 right after seminary. 3:42, 3:45, 3:41! It was 22 degrees and freezing! I just wanted to go home, also did not have enough sleep. I thought it was going to be the worst but ended up being the best! Praying also helps me to run faster. 
3 more later in 24:24. 
Dance class tonight was also very good! My teacher says I am a beast with the perfect amount of energy. I think running helps me dance, but it drains me. I have regionals for dance this weekend.
 

32:32. Only did 4 because I felt very tired from yesterday, dance class also felt very hard today.

49:49 (kinda did the same seconds as minutes on purpose)

I was slow because I got no sleep. My big toe is a bit sprained from dance and I had no mobility in it. I limped a bit for the first 2 but once I got warmed up it was no problem.

I am in San Francisco for Irish dance regionals!
45:10 on the treadmill. Don't know exactly, but the last half mile was around 2:50.        My toe is still not very mobile but better, didn't have any problems. I can still dance but it takes me 30 minutes to warm it up.

At Irish dance Regionals, today was teams. Our team didn't place. I danced a bit and ran around the huge building a lot, didn't actually do a run though. My toe is still very stiff.

I just got back from San Francisco and I didn't prioritize my run. I did it very late. It is very hard to run in the dark.

45:11. Last half mile was 2:58. From being gone and regionals all weekend, my training wasn't as good. But it gave me a lot of energy today! I also feel like my easy pace is getting faster. I had less desire to run today but I realize I only feel like that when I get out of the habit. Consistency is key.

32:55. 

Thanksgiving turkey race! 4 miles in 26:04. Got 2nd and earned a pie. I know I could have kicked way sooner.
My stamina has improved even though I didn't train the best this last week. William stayed with me for 3 miles, I think it helped.

Don't know exactly how much I ran for the easy miles, but did around 2 miles with 8 min pace 

2 in 16:24, then stretched and did 4 in 32:11. 

Warm-up in around 8:10. 2 mile PR down the canyon in 11:39! First mile was 5:45, which is also a PR! I just think it is cool how 6 months ago I could only run one mile in 5:49. 
Ran 3 more easy miles.

I really think not having dance class this week made me stronger, able to recover faster and focus all my energy on just running.
Did 2 more with Maddy! 9:57 down, and 10:10 back up. We talked the whole way, she is the best!

In the morning did 3 in 23:38, a few minutes later 2 in 16:04. 
in the afternoon did 2 in 15:25. 
Need to sleep more than 7 1/2 hours at night.

4 in the morning in 31:27, then 3 in the afternoon in 23:03.

4.5 in 35:50, then 20 min later did 1.5 in 11:36. I am sore from dance class and am not happy about it. I wanted to do a workout, but needed to rest.

I am honestly am just done with dancing, I just want to run but still have to finish classes this year.
