So much depends... on the run you do today!

am: 3, not way sore. i think i haven't been because i cooled down so much after arizona's race, so thats a plus (:

pm: 7.5 around rollercoaster. felt really good

am: 3. not cold enough for gloves but it's starting to get a bit more chilly (:

pm: well right before practice my mom called and said i had a dentist appointment...so i missed the thousands workout with the team and ended up doing it at 5, alone. i let casey use my watch to time himself and told him put it on something but BYRON took it home so i had to do the workout without a watch!

it wasn't bad. 2 mile warm up then i just ran it just by feel and i'm pretty sure all of them were between 2:50-2:55. We had 5x1000's and i did about 2:40 seconds rest in between. after 3 it started to get really dark and after the 4th one i decided i couldnt do the 5th one cause i didnt want to hurt myself in all the ditches. but then the someone turned on the baseball lights and i was able to see :) so i did the last on then cooled down 1.5 miles. felt super good today.

am: went to the school and did striders with able, byron, paul and coltong as they were finishing their run. then went out and did target. megan came with me and did her four. pretty good run, felt solid.

pm: went three with megan. nice pace. she's not to shabby (:

heading up to payson this week...should be a nice change in temperature!

am: finally got out about 10 so that it was warm. felt good enough for shorts everything so that was good. started at my grandma's house in Payson and made my way to Salam and ended up at Salam high school. turned around and somehow i went the wrong way so my there and back run turned into a lopsided loop which added .75 miles to my run. i felt really good and was at 7:30 pace average pace.

Pm: I snuck out after dinner and went out for a 3 mile jog with my cousin. my relitives acted like they had never seen legs before...:) good run, i'm glad i got myself out.

am: well this run is in the top 3 percents in the worst run catagory. I finally got out at about 11 with Megan. we ran a mile to payson high and did 4x200's on their track. it felt horrible. i wish i ran a bit more before i did those. 29, 30, 31, 29. i felt like doing some grass so i did a mile on their grass and stopped because it seemed like it was making my turnover really slow, so i finished the 4 miles on the track then a mile home...roughly. not sure if i'll do this afternoons run due to personal problems. we'll see how i feel.

felt much better today. i started at my gradma ridings house then ran to my grandpa finch's farm. threw in a 2 mile tempo at 5:49 pace. didn't feel very smooth on the run but it didn't feel terrible.

Good recovery week. I'm very excited for next weeks race. I'm going in confident that i can get in the top 10. the race in arizona was a completly flat course and very fast. in california it has switchbacks and rollercoasters all over. even though its at sea level, it taks about 1 minute longer to complete than nike's course. but this is definatly my favorite kind of course.
