Nice easy 5 towards Jake's house on the farm roads and back to mine on 2450. Averaged 8:51/mile. Gotta love cold mornings when you run past a delicious steamy sewer..yuck! The farm roads meant dealing with my biggest fear: Cows (special thanks to my Coach for adding to that fear!) . I survived! I kept thinking of Kyler when I was on the farm roads. When I was a sophomore, he would take me off-roading there in his truck after XC practice. Hope the MTC is treating him well! After the run, I went to the Temple with some of the girls on the team. We've done this several times before and it always makes me so happy when they ask me to take them. LOVE MY GIRLS!!

Easy 4 miles by myself along the old bus route. Averaged 8:24/mile. No weight room with the team today since school is out for MLK Day, but Danielle and I are going to go to my Grandma's gym in the trailer park to do our own lifting to keep on track. Happy Day Off!

Felt pretty horrible today. Guess 4 hours of sleep and a skipped breakfast aren't super great for you! I'll have to get a little bit more organized so I can keep up my Thursday morning routines with Jake! 4 1/2 miles to LV Park and back at 8:52/mile. Ran with Coach, Staci, and Taylor on the way there, and flew solo on the way back.

Spectrum and back with Chloe. Calves were pretty tight, so I had to stop for a quick stretch at the turn around. Chloe kept on going, so the way back turned into a nice little game of chase the rabbit. I think we both had fun with that. Caught her and ran together for the last 3/4 mile. Total of 3 at 8:02.

Wind, rain, and hills were not kind today. I couldn't find my tights so my sweats were sure dragging in the wind! Tried not to think about it and just enjoy getting in some miles! 4 on my Majestic View Parabola Run. 9:13/mile. Patience is key.

To the Spectrum and back again. Originally supposed to pace the girls at 8:30/mile, but after the first mile I was alone so I went my own pace. Ended up averaging 8:07/mile. Running in the rain is always intense. Love it!

Down to the bridge and back-one of my favorite runs! Same story as yesterday: paced at 8:30/mile at first then ended up alone and had overall pace of 8:09/mile. I want to get my "Easy 3" pace down to about 7:50/mile in the next couple weeks.

Weights this morning: Mostly back, hips, and core. Ran 4 this afternoon. Down BH Drive and back with Coach Fielding. 7:52/mile, and it didn't even feel too fast! Guess I can reevaluate my goal.

5 miles in Hidden Valley Hills and through the tunnel. I was alone this time, but still managed to hit a 7:54/mile average. It's hard to tell from these easier runs, but I think I'm looking really good for this track season!! Lower Calves are still pretty tight, I am in desperate need for new shoes!

Extended the Farmroads Loop out toward Gianna's house. Unbelievably sore! Combination of bad shoes and overworking in the weight room...all my miles have been easy! Slower pace (8:45/mile), but got a good stretch and trying to get my calves feeling better!

Five down to Little Valley and back. I had this bright idea to put extra inserts in my shoes to help support...SO DUMB! Ended up throwing the extra inserts away at the park. Still a lot of lower calf pain, but I did lay off the calf raises (probably the main part of the problem!) in the weight room today. Gary died during the run so not certain of my pace, but it was 7:48 when it died. Hit the infamous ice bath after. Hopefully it helps!

Still in so much pain! No weights today. Easy 4 on the strip (supposed to have been 6 but my shin splints were unbearable today!). 8:23/mile. GIANNA WAS THERE! So good to have her back and just talk about life. Not a bad run considering the pain. Went to the Sheerans after practice to get hooked up to the machine, hope it helps!
