Today I went for a run from sugar house with my dad. Did a grass lap then got on the parleys trail and went up to tanner park. Turned right at 2700 east and went across to evergreen and down to 2000 east where I turned right to go to 2700 south and get back on the parleys trail. Headed back to sugar house where I did a grass lap and went a little extra to finish the 10 miles. Took a while to get warmed up...like 4 miles. After that I was fine and dropped the average to 7:25. After we went for a sunday drive in the spitfire.

Am-3 miles to the golf course a lap and back. Felt pretty good and ended up beating my dad by a minute and a half. Don't know what my pace was cause he never told me his but it was 30 seconds a mile faster than his if he blogs.

Pm- speed workout at the track. Jogged up to the track which is about a half mile then did 2 laps at the track and a mile of speed changes. Then we did a mile. I was told to hit 5:10-5:15 but thought there was no way because last week I had only ran a 5:24...I ended up running a 5:02 with the splits of 1:12, 2:31, 3:48 then 5:02. Wish I would have kicked a little bit harder to break 5 cause I know I could have but oh well. A 5:02 is awesome for me right now in a workout. After the mile we jogged 2 laps then did 3 sets of 3x300. We did a lap in between each set and in between each 300 we jogged a hundred then waited a few seconds until it had been 35 seconds. This was by far a lot harder than the mile because we practically got no recovery. All of them were between 45 and 48 except the last one which was a 44 because my dad told us to race...I didn't really take it seriously until the last 100 where I decided I wanted to beat garek so I closed the 15-20 foot lead he had on me and beat him in the last couple meters. After that we did 1.5 miles cooldown.

Did two vertical laps which I'm counting as .5 of a mile. Then did the normal indoor track stuff but we added some drills on the stairs and wall sits. After that we broke into distance and sprinters. We ran from east to sugar house then did ten of the white tree hill laps. Our average pace to sugar house was 6:21. After the hills it waslike 6:48ish. We did a grass lap around the park then headed back. My goal was to drop it at least to 6:45 pace. When I got back I had to add a little but was at 6:44 pace already. Finished the run with a 6:41 average. Happy with the workout and I'm glad I am finally getting in better shape.

Today we ran down to liberty park and did 2 800's. When we got to the fountain we dud 6 strides then jogged over to the mark that is one line where we were starting. We ran to the line with 2 dots and for recovery we jogged back. I was supposed to hit 2:30 and went 2:27 on both. Jogged back to the drinking fountain and then started a lap of fireman. It was me, my dad, Emma, Sarah, Eleanor, Chris, Garek, Nate, and Andy in my group. It was a fairly good lap but it slowed down a lot when certain people got to the front. Jogged back up to east for cool down. Really excited for the race part of Nike but not so much the trip...hopefully it's fun

Didn't run cause I had to make the ribbon for the East Xmas tree at festival of trees after school

Ran the course in the dark and did some strides.

Muddy race sucked. Went out what my dad wanted me to at 5:15 then the mud got to me and killed me. Went for a ton of cool down
