Today we did 1 mile warm-up, then one mile of speed changes. Then we did 3x400. I ran a 1:13, a 1:15, and a 1:22. On the last one I was tired and totally gave up. Then we jogged a mile cooldown. The workout felt good and I think I'll have a good region on Wednesday.

Just an easy 2 miles before region tomorrow.

AM- Did an easy shake out run this morning. Just to the golf course and back I threw in a few strides to loosen up my legs.

PM- We had region today. I felt great! I did some jogging for a warm-up and some strides. Then we ran the race. I felt like I did ok in the race but I didn't run the best race I could have. I ended up fourth. My time was a minute faster than last year so that was really good. I need to be more aggresive in my races and I need to want to hurt because I've just been running and not really racing. What do you guys do to encourage yourselves?

This morning we went for a nice easy 10 miler. Me and Susannah ran together. We started at Liberty Park and ran to the gate at the mouth of City creek canyon and back. I hadn't eaten anything before the run so i was really looking forward to taking my Gu at the half way. You know your hungry when you want to take a Gu! The run felt good. It took 1:20:37 so just over 8 minute pace. It was sort of cold out but it warmed up and was perfect for running.

This morning we met at Liberty park for practice. We did one lap for a warm-up. Then we did some fartlek. We did 10x1 minute on and off. We did loops around the pond so we could get a few hills. Then we jogged one lap cooldown. I felt like I had a good workout and pushed myself. My right quad was hurting a bit and I'm not sure why. Hopefully it was just a one time thing.

Tonight I went for a run at Sugarhouse park but it was dark and scary so after 2 laps I ran along 1300 e. It ended up being just over 5 miles. It felt good and there were a few spots I was able to hit a pretty decent pace.
