Running!

Four easy miles, it felt pretty good after I got back but I am sick (I think from the food or water in Mexico, but it started on the plane to Salt Lake so it might have been in Houston).  I ran with my dad.

I did a speed workout by myself today.  I did 2 laps warm-up and 8 laps of J's.  Then I was supposed to do 12 400s, but I only did 8 because I wasn't getting great times, it was getting really late, and for... other reasons (I am still sick if you catch my drift).  Then I did two laps cool down.

I ran the 1 mile and the 2 mile, the 1 was 6:50 and the 2 was 15:04.  I feel ok about it for the shape I'm in, besides I am still feeling sick- stomach and throat, maybe it is hayfever or the flu?

Today I did 10 200s with 40 second recovery, and then a 400, 200, 400, 200.  My first 200 was 40, and the last two were 41 and 43, but the ones before that were under 40.  My first 400 was 1:31, which I felt ok about, but the second one I died physically but mostly mentally.  My throat was really gunky and I was having trouble breathing at the end, but I felt like I worked hard.

It was freezing and rainy, but I warmed up well and got a PR!  To warm up Susannah and I ran to my aunt's house and back, because it was a little over half a mile from the meet.  I felt pretty good during the race and passed a few people.
