I ran down to the high school again to see how my legs were feeling, they were tired. I lead the stretches because I was the most veteran runner there, it was pretty cool. We ran to the Sunrise hill and ran 4 of those hills. Than I ran home from the hills, and I was way, way tired.

Hill 1:  1.58, Hill 2:  1.51, Hill 3:  1.48, Hill 4:  1.44             Total Distance about 4.5 miles.

Afternoon Run-  Ran down to high school, stretched and warmed up. As a team we ran to Artic Circle and back, on the way back I stopped at the bank and got a drink. I was dehydrated again. I walked most of the way home, but ran about .3 back to my house.

Total Distance was about 4.1 miles.

The heat really got to me today, hard! I ran from my house to the school and I was already feeling that today was going to suck. For our 800 meter warm-up I was already dying! Than we went out to do the Chuck-a-Rama run and I started out decent, but as I kept running the worse and more sick I felt. I was having stomach problems too and that wasn't helping at all. I cut the run short by running to my house instead of back to the school, but still got about 4.1 miles in. 

I am excited to do the Wasatch Rendevous race though, if I am still on varsity by then.

Ran a 1 1/2 mile warm up to Hearts and back. Then we ran 4 800 grass loops, I felt really sick. It was probably because I had Jack in the Box today (not going to happen again). After the 8's I ran a 1 1/2 cool down.

1st 800: 2.55

2nd 800: 3.03

3rd 800: 2.53

4th 800: 2.49

Early Morning practice- Ran real easy, but was feeling tired from other days. Ran AC 3 miler.

Afternon Practice- Ran easy again, it was really humid! We were all supposed to run the 4 miler up Green Springs but a lot of people stopped at the Club house. I was going to, then I saw Zac going on so I went with him to run the 4.

I was feeling real tired from staying up real late, and running a lot of miles during the week. I felt like I ran pretty well though. I could have ran a lot faster, I need to start picking it up near the end of races more. I know what I am capable of I just haven't done what I need to do yet.

A lot of people(JV) did real well today and I was way happy for them. Some of the kids on our team were talking about taking some varsity runners off Varsity. That's not cool! I want those kids to know its not about beating your teammates. It's about running your own race and helping your team win.
