I just have two things to say about my workout today: 1) OUCH 2) I CAN BREATHE!!!!!! So starting, I did a mile warm up around the Highland track. Then my knee was absolutely killing me beyond belief. So I was thinking of stopping but I decided to push through it because I really need to get back into shape. So I did 3 laps of J's and then 3 laps of speed changes. From their my knee was also really really really hurting. Levi said I shoudl stop but I didn't because I needed to get my workout it. Since my knee was hurting worse than before, I only had to do 4 300's at the pace that I was doing my fastest speed changes. I did not care about my time because I new they were going to be really slow because I was only supposed to push it until my knee hurt then go at that speed. I was really trying hard not to limp and I didn't limp but I really wanted to. Then for cooldown I went over to Sugarhouse park and I did a lap around the park for cooldown. I went at a pretty fast pace because the faster I went the better my knee felt. From their, I stretched until my parents got their.

I would be uploading my Garmin Connect Links but since you have to download something from like microsoft or something like that, I am not allowed to download anything so I have not been uploading my Garmin Links but they will be up and running ASAP.

I think I know why my knee has been hurting a ton lately. The new track coach is having us do these weird super powered squats that you jump or go fast up. I dont think I am going to do those anymore to see if that is the problem. Otherwise I dont know what it is.

For the air quality, it was loads better. My chest did not hurt today like it did yesterday, and I could actually breathe in and out without feeling like I was going to puke becuase of the feeling of breathing in muck or just trash. Other than the pain, it was an OK run tonight.
