Don't Sacrifice the Gift.

Went to practice with the Team.  Grapevine then down Washington Parkway with Trevor, up Telegraph, back to the school and did barefoot striders.  Felt good to run on grass again,  felt good.

Not bad today. Left quad hurting a bit but not much.  Mapped out a mile loop from my house for my family, got it down on the second try, I guess my Hawk-o-meter was working today.  Rather hot outside, so jumped in the pool.  Did a few laps in the pool but not much, felt good.

Club Run at Dixie Center, same loop.  Not the best run, stayed with the pack a little longer then last week but still fell behind, my quads were hurting a bit again. 

Ran with Trevor to the college did a mile or so barefoot on grass.  No real pains, interesting how it comes and goes.

Went 7 with the team down into Hell's Hole with striders afterward, felt pretty good.  The huge hill didnt effect me as much as I thought it would but still made me tired.  When I got home I ran another 2 miles with my brothers.

Nice and easy, a little hot outside but not too terrible.  Ran by myself around Downtown area, (if you can call it that!)  Other than the heat, today was a pretty good run. 

Nice run today. Felt real solid, had no pains and not too tired.  Ran with Coach, Devo, and Steve into Middleton, with Striders afterward.

Kids Club today was ... lets just say ... energy filled! Those kids are awesome!  At club run, Trev and I were late so we were trying to catch up. First two miles was a 12:07.  I Fell behind a bit on the fourth mile but kept at about 7 min. pace, then for the rest of the run I dropped it back down to about 5:50 pace.  I cut the run short because I needed to be back for my dads birthday, so I only went six but I think the faster pace made up for it a little bit.  Supprisingly I felt pretty good!

AM:  V.W. Park with the team. Good to have Tyson back as well as Rachel.  Felt great! A little sore afterwards but nothing a bit of stretching can't fix. 

PM:  Chelsi's Run,  Felt great! Didn't run my hardest but I wasn't really trying to.  I guess legally I took third place but you know, who's counting! After the race we did another lap for a cool down.  Great to see Corey again, I missed him!

Not the best run.  I kinda got a little lazy this past week and didnt go out running all week, which propably made this run even harder.  Went with the team, up Webb Hill on the back side then down the other side only to go back up two more times. Ran back to the park with Coach and Devin, and Rachel was nice enough to join us.  I was rather excited at the beginning since I had never done the Meatgrinder.  Yeah that was interesting.  I'm rather tired and sore but nothing too serious, just need to stretch and maybe ice.

Full Parkway 5 with barefoot striders afterward.  Im tired but I feel alright! I'm rather jelous that I can't go to camp with the team!

Easy twelve, with three of if barefoot on the grass.  Felt pretty good other than my left knee and my big toe on my right foot hurting. They were weird pains but not to painful.  It was nice to be able to run that far by myself, gave me time to clear my head.  Good run!

Easy run around town.  Really hot today, I could feel the heat take away my energy. Other than that it was a good run. My toe still hurting a bit today but not as bad, Steve helped with that.  I was planning on going ten but my loop didnt end up being quite that far.  Oh well.

Club run, usual loop. Felt real good, one of the best club runs I've been to.  It was only Mike, Bill, Aaron, Amber and I, so it was pretty fun.  When I got home I ran another mile with my mom and  brother, it was rather slow but running none the less. Knee still hurting, not sure what the deal is but I iced it a bit today.
