Went to the East High Track to do a workout. I did the VA loop and came back on Guardsman. I was planning on going down to 1300 East but either my garmin is starting to not work anymore or my pace sucked! It said I was going a 9:38 pace on the downhill and a 6:50 pace going up the hill on sunnyside..... I don't think I was going either of those paces...  Anyway,  I got back to the track and stretched then ran a grass loop then did a backwards mile on the track. I was tired...... Sad day.. My final average pace was 8:08... so maybe.

SPRING BREAK: DAY 1

For Spring Break today I watched Catching Fire, Sprited Away, Howles Moving Castle and hung outside ALL DAY! I LOVE SPRING BREAK IN MARCH! Today I ran the State XC course then ran laps at sugarhouse. As soon as I finished running Highland got out of school and it was a mob of high schoolers.... I remember those days. NOT FUN! I forgot how hard it was to weave your way through a mob of high schoolers. Then I came home and did my core and planks.

SPRING BREAK: DAY 2

For Spring Break today I went over to Abigails and we played board games with her BF all afternoon. For my run, I ran in the morning and just went along 19th east at about 8 AM... NEVER AGAIN! I forgot that the elementary schools and Clayton Middle School start around there so I was weaving in between kids and parents driving and walking to school... I went into sunnyside park did a half lap then came back the same way... I didn't run tonight because after I was at Abigails I went out to dinner with my family then I came home and had to write a US History essay due at midnight. I will catch up later in the week because after all it is Spring Break.

Spring Break: Day 3

Today was the weirdest run ever... I went down to SHP with my sister. When we got there I saw Stormy running so I ran a lap with her talking about everything! Then I did a few strides and stretfched. Did a lap of 2x1 lightpoles then I did a 3 mile cooldown and as I was running by the pond I saw a guy just peeing next to his friends car... DUDE ITS A PUBLIC PARK WITH KIDS! DONT PEE IN PUBLIC! That was freaking gross!

Started on E street and ran up to 11th avenue, then ran along 11th avenue until Virginia street and ran down Virginia street till south temple then took south temple till "I" street where my dad picked me up. Averaged 8:06 for the ran. The last 2-2.5 miles I was averaging 6:56 pace so that was good. I was diagnosed with asthma..... So I got my inhaler yesterday so today I was allowed to start running again... I had to stop at the top of E street on 11th avenue because my chest hurt way bad but I didn't cough so that is a good thing I gues....

Today I finally took my last midterm so I can start running again! Working, School full time, student government, and running at the same time is really hard to do! I went over to Cottonwood Complex to run the regions course then do 800's on it but then my dad reminded me I have student government at 5 and it was 4:15.... So I managed 2 miles then had to go home and shower then do our service project at the Ronald McDonald house. If we weren't doing a service project this evening I wouldn't have gone to Student Government and I would have ran instead.

I NEED TO REMEMBER TO BLOG! But after I got home from Taylor's homecoming I went over to the field house and did 4 on the treadmill. Came home played more Pokemon then did my homework and ended the night with calf raises and squats.

Ran down to SHP and did a little extra for a mile and a half. Stretched for a long time waiting for Larry to show up but he never came so I just did a road lap of 2on/1off light poles then I did an outside grass lap cooldown. Nice run. It is nice to get out running again before I have finals in a couple of weeks. 7:44 average.

AM: Did a mile around the gym at P90X for a warm up before we stretched for the time. I guess today was a recovery day?

Ran down to Sugarhouse Park and did a half mile there to get a mile and a half warm up, then I met up with Larry and did 8x150 meter strides. Then I ran a mile on the track with Larry which got me to 4 miles then it started hailing and pouring rain and it was freezing so my mom made me go home so I did 40 minutes on the elliptical and counted it as 2 miles. 7:05 average for the running. Now we watch Fast and Furious: Tokeo Drift !!!!

Today was awesome! It was the first day I got to actually do an actual run. I drove down to SHP and did a road lap, then an outside lap, then another road lap. Then out a halfmile and back. I stopped to stretch at 4.5 miles because my knee and quad was starting to hurt but after I stretched that went away. I am really happy about this run! Kind of slow but it was effective! 7:54 average.

Ran down to SHP but went another way into the park than I usually do to get the extra half mile and that way felt much longer... I did not like it at all. Then I stretched and did a lap of 2x1 light poles on and off. Then I did a big grass lap cooldown and ran to the bathroom and back to the car and called it a night.

This morning I met up with Taylor to run. It was awesome running again with him! It felt just like old times! We met at the East track and did the shriners run. I took my inhaler before the run but I still started coughing really hard going up the hill and starting gagging. This asthma is getting super old! When we got to the drinking fountain we stretched and got a drink then decided to go on until 3 then turn around. We stopped at the drinking fountain at 3 miles but it was OFF! Then we stretched and went back the same way. We stopped at the drinking fountain again. It was a nice slow and easy run (except for the asthma attack going up the big hill on Alta street.) When we got back to the track we did a mile on the track swapping directions at a half mile. This was an awesome run! 8:18 average.
