This morning I met up with Ida, Danny, and Danny's daughter Nina for a workout. We met at SHP and started with an inside lap warm up then a lap around the soccer fields, roughly 1.75 miles warm up. Then we did 8x200 on the track and finished with a chasing 800 around the soccer field, we did about 1 and a third laps around the soccer field. Nina went first, then Ida, myself, then Danny. I caught up to Nina and Ida and Danny never caught me. Danny and I finished with an inside lap around the park while Nina biked next to us. It was great to get outside and get moving before I start homework. I felt great the entire run, just a little tired and I never really warmed up.

Today I had a very hard workout mentally. I met up with Billy and Danny at SHP. We did an inside lap warm up, then continued over to the 2nd hill in the state course and did 5 continuous hill repeats then we continued over around the outside of the park until the 400 mark on 1700 south. Then we did a timed 400 and I got 67. I was just having a rough day, my feet were slapping on the ground, my form was gone... Then we cooled down a a half of a perimeter lap. 

Met with Danny and Levi at that Horse park on 4500 South ant 1400 East. We did just laps in there. That place is awesome. I felt so much better today than I did on Tuesday. We through in a 6:05 lap and that felt really good. Then we did an extended loop for the 3rd be going out and running around the Holladay Lions center then around the farms, that added .75 so we finished that lap and stopped at 4. 

Took a much needed break from homework and did my usual 3 mile loop from my house. Felt very refreshed.

This afternoon, after taking a break from studying physics, I ran down 4500 south into that horse park I ran with Danny and Levi in on friday. When I got to the horse park, I put a hard effort in while running in the park, it felt great. Great run today.

Today I met up with Danny for a workout. We did an inner loop in SHP then we did 5 hill snake stride things, they felt great but holy COW! I need to work on hills. Then we did an outer loop. That is all I had time for because I had to get to an honors society meeting, but it was a good run all in all. No pain in the shins!
