pm- 7.5 miles/ 55 min 5x4 min repeats @ hard pace with 3 min rec. Got back from the cabin and did some running at 8 when the sun was going down and it was cool weather. I ran down to the virgin river trail and did some solid pace stuff. I really worked hard on keeping my form solid when I was feeling sluggish. I thought of the Cedar all-comers when Nick pulled ahead of me on the last lap and then imagined me checking my form and keeping it together and going with him. It worked pretty well. My paces for the hard repeat things were 5:56min pace, 5:57min pace, 5:58min pace, 5:39min pace, and finished with 6:00min pace. It was fun. Now I will go to bed.

RHR- 48

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "sleep" because I got tons of it this morning/last night. I slept from 11pm to 9:40am, which was the longest time for me to sleep. It was crazy. And I woke up to a text from a babe so it was totally fine;) Sleep is when all your body, besides the brain, relaxes and enjoys some chill time. Ex: I am going to finish this post and go to sleep.

Goals for next week: Do my resting heartrate(RHR) everyday, do 20 sit-ups everyday, have fun everyday. And drink 100oz or more..... everyday
