Today we had the Dr. Sager's Fitness Challenge mile. Its something our school is doing because our principal (Dr. Sagers) wants to loose 100 lbs. Everyone that is participating ran 1 mile today, and from now till spring we have to do something 100 times (bike rides, miles, swims, etc.) Then in spring we run another mile. Everyone who does it all gets to go to Raging waters with Dr. Sagers.

Anyways, I warmed-up 1 mile then we did the mile. I ran it in 5:55. I was really sick today and didn't even go to school half the day. I think I have the flu or something. I wanted to run a 5:40, but considering how I felt I was ok with it. It went by so fast, I never had time to think about catching the person ahead of me or pushing myself. After the race we did a cooldown of a mile. Hopefully I can get better by region.

The team went for an easy run on the jordan river trail today. It was 3 miles. We went at a good pace. My legs felt really good. Hopefully tomorrow I can run well. (Hayward 80)

Basically, region sucked. Yesterday I got a migraine and I don't think my medicine had worn off yet. My legs were so tired. Running up the hills was really hard, but oh well. At least it wasn't state.

We did a 5 mile loop from the track that goes up past the zoo and through the golf course. I felt sick on the run and stopped a couple of times, but when I had about a mile to go I started to push really hard. It felt good, then when we got to the track my dad had us do 2x300 walking a 100 in between. I did them all out. Overall it was a good workout. (Hayward 85)

Today we did one mile easy, then a mile of speed changes and then one lap slow. For our workout we did 8 sets of 400, 200. We were in pairs and one person did the 400 the other did the 200. The person doing the 400 would start and when they got to a cone that was at about 230 meters into the 400 the 200 person would start and had to try and catch them. Then you would switch and keep doing so till both people do each thing 8 times. After the 400 you jog a 200 and after the 200 you jog a 400. I got times for the 400's but not for the 200's but I'm guessing they were all under 40. My 400 times were:

1- 75

2- 78

3- 76

4- 74

5- 75

6- 70

7- 75

8- 75

They all felt really good. My legs felt great and didn't even feel tired till after the 70, then it started to hurt. For our cooldown we did 3 laps slow. Now my legs are sore so I'll have to take an ice bath. (Hayward 89)

Today we went for a run on the pipeline trail. Ruth joined us and that was fun! We started at Burch Hollow and ran to Rattlesnake Gulch and back. On the way back we did 5 1-minute repeats. They felt really good. My legs fell good but are a little bit sore from yesterday. The weather was nice. It was raining a little bit but not too bad. It was so pretty up there with all the leaves changing colors and falling. (Hayward 96)
