Long run from Wills to Vivian and back. I had some watch problems but I think my back split was just over an hour.

Pretty good down hill long run on the provo river trail starting at the Big Springs turn off. Its my last long run before the Deseret News in 12 days. Maybe a little too close, but I had to squeeze this training run in. I was under 2:20 so it gave me a lot of confidence for next week. I think Ill have a strong race considering the short training.

Ran with Dave, Brooke, and Mari from borders. I picked it up quite a bit on the last 1200m, although I didnt time it. Still a little fatigued from the training run on saturday, but not sore at all.

Started at reams with Dave and ran down the river trail down to paul ream park. It was a good fast run. I have been trying to speed up every mile and we really did that today. it felt great. our last mile was really cruising, no time, but i would guess 7:15 or 7:30.

Mari, Brooke, Natalie, Emily, Dave, and I ran the AF 5k. I started really fast and was able to maintain speed pretty well. I didnt quite have the kick I usually do but this was a PR for me so I was excited about that.

Ran 3 from borders to the bridge. My legs felt pretty dead from the 5k on sat. I probably shouldnt have run it so hard. It was overcast, but once we started running it got really hot. Pretty bad run overall.

This race really kicked my A. Im not sure if it was the heat or the unique course or what but it was rough. I was going for a 3:30 which may have been a little fast but based on my training runs I thought it was a realistic challenge. I threw up at mile 3 and at mile 17 I started cramping up in both calves and my right quad followed soon after. I have never experienced pain like that in my legs. I ran a 1:42 split and i was feeling great, I thought a negative split was realistic.
