Today at track practice I showed up to the track at 10 AM and I didn't see Tony there and I didn't want to wait haha, so I went on my own run. I started up at the track and ran up sunnyside avenue till I got to gaurdsman (I think thats how you spell it or I think that, thats what the name of the street is) anywase it is the street with Steiners Aquatic center on it. So I ran across that until I got to the University of Utah football stadium, I ran through that parking lot until it ended so I ran through the campus. I finished through the campus and from there on I don't know the names of the streets. So pretty much I did the Shriners drinking fountain run. It took me like 40 minutes because I was running alone and I run a lot slower when I run alone than when I run with somebody but also my back of my left knee thing was also really hurting, which is weird but I did do speed yesterday and that could of done something because I was in spikes. When I got back to the East High Track Tony was there, I guess he was just walking grass laps until people showed up for work out. Noella showed up today and she was doing a speed work out because I guess she missed yesterdays speed so she has to make it up today..... Sucks for her haha. Tony told me to do 4 300s today just to loosen up my legs. I was going to do them then, but I didn't because it started to rain. Hopefully I will do them later

I did my weights on the machine accept for the ones for my hamstrings because they are still killing me even after I do a long run to loosen up them. Then I did weighted calf raises, holding my knee up for a minute thingy, 3 sets of 15 squats, crunches, weighted arm swings and non weighted arm swings. I hope those arm swings help me during races to make me faster.

I went to the track because I thought there was practice so I thought it was the perfect time to go and do my 4 300s. Well I guess there wasn't or no one went because it was only me and Ricky. So I met up with Ricky and we waited for almost 30 minutes for anyone else to show up, which no one else did. I thought that was ridiculous so I went ahead with my half mile warm up of grass laps. Then I did sprint 300 jog 100 but 4 times for a mile. My times were 59, 60, 59, 58 which is pretty consistent and all under a 5:20 mile which was my goal. Then we did 2 laps on the track as a cool down while listening to the Rowland Hall kids get yelled at about something and listening to music :)
