Today is my first day back running since that horrible day at REGIONS!!! So I ran down to sugarhouse park and decided to go to Larry's and Tim's workout because I have not ran with them for a long time. So I did a mile warm up, stretched, did another half mile on the track with Tim then heard the workout. Since Tim has a half marathon this weekend all we did was strides. We did 6x100 meter strides then 4 400s at 80 pace so strides with 20 seconds of recovery for all the strides. Then I did a half mile cooldown. On the first one I felt fine, and hit an 80, second felt ok also and I hit a 79, on the third and fourth I was tired and hit for both a 78. Not running for a week really makes you tired!

Today I ran down to Sugarhouse park met up with Larry and Aubrey. We all did a workout similar to yesterdays but faster. So I did 6 strides again then 4 400s chasing Larry. Larry started 20 seconds ahead of me and I was to chase him down! So my times went 76, 77, 75, 74 so they all pretty much got faster and I caught Larry on every one! My speed is coming back faster than I thought it would! I did a half mile cooldown on the track. No hard workouts yet because I am being cautious with my achilles.

Went to Bills workout today. We ran up to Sunnyside, did a lap, then 8 strides, stretching then a lap of firemen. I was in a slow group with the Varsity girls and Nate. WE WENT SO SLOW!!! Then we jogged back to the track and did .75 on the track to get to 4 for the day.

I went to Bills workout again. We started with a mile warm up, mile of speed changes then stretching until everyone finished everything. The workout was 1 800 then 4x400. So on the 800 I went out fast but it did not feel fast to me, went through the 400 in 70 then got a 2:35 and finished 5th or 6th overall from the team. Bill said sprint all of these! Then we did a lap recovery then started the 400s. Again on this one I went out well and finished same place as last time and got a 71. Then as they went on, my lack of running for the past week was catching up to me, they progressively were getting slower and I was getting farther back in the pack. My times went like 73, 75 and 78. On that last one I about died! Abigail caught up to me and I just could not match her move! Then we "ran" a mile cooldown with Caden, Katelyn, and Odelia.

I started with a 1.5 mile warm up then did some strides. I did 3 laps of regular speed changes, then 3 laps of speed changes sprinting on the curve and jogging on the stratightaways. The workout was 200, 200, 800, 400. My times went 31, 31, 2:36, and 66. It was a pretty good workout and I liked it a lot. I did equal recovery after each. Then I did a little over a mile cooldown.

After finding out horrible news, I decided to go and do a quick workout before the NHS thing tonight. So I did a half mile war up, 2x100 meter strides, then heard the workout. It was 200 with 200 recovery, 300 with 100 recovery, then 400 with 100 recovery. We did this 3 times. I only did the first set because I had to go to NHS then to the hospital for the rest of the night.

Mile warm up and a mile of speed changes. Then the workout was 2 200s, 400, mile, 800 and 4 400s. I felt really good on the 200s and 400 then in the mile I felt the pumpkin pie I ate during 4th period. So my times went like 32, 32, 70, 6:30, 3:00 and I didnt do the 4 400s because I was going to puke any second.
