Today since we had one of the semi final rounds for basketball, I couldn't go to Bills workout or go meet up with Levi; so I decided to do my own workout. I did about a 3 mile warm up, then went over to the gym to do some HEAVY quad weights, hamstring weights, and toe raises things. I did each set 3 times and ended with a 1.5 mile cooldown and going to Judge Memorial High Schools State Hockey Game.....

Today was the official first day of outdoor track. So we met up in the commons, got all of the paper work, did the talky thing and did the vertical lap warm up then stretching and drills. So distance was supposed to go out to the oval today for a speed workout, but only a select few got to go. I asked bill what I should do and he said "You are not fit enough, you do not come enough, you come one day and are not there the next, its hard to coach you" So after Bill B-worded me out, I decided to not go because I could not handle him dissing on me all the time again. Well Bill, I cant come to practice everyday because I have AP Class stuff I need to do right after school because school comes first then running, Im sorry if that doesn't work for you but its the best I can do at the moment to try to make everybody happy................. So I went on my own run with Dominique, Maggie and Caden. We decided to do the flagpole run. I go along 13th east to the Pie Pizzeria and then up to the flag. Back down the same way along 13th east over to Westminster College to that flagpole. Caden and I ended up doing the whole workout while everyone else turned around before westminster. I went out another mile and back to do a few more miles. I sure am tired of how people are treated on that track team if you are not one of the selected proteges......

Today I couldn't go to track practice because I had a APUSH Study seminar after school (not that anyone noticed I wasn't at practice or anyone missed me being there) so I did my own workout again. I jogged over to sugarhouse park did a lap, and it started to blizzard so I ran home, that brought me to 3 miles, then I went over to the gym and I did 3.5 miles on the treadmill. I did my core and leg weights again when I got home.

After parent teacher conferences which went great by the way, I had peer court so I had to do a really fast run. From my house, over to Sugarhouse park and did a lap around the park then I ran home. I averaged a 6:40 pace so I was going pretty fast.

Today since we didn't have school, I went over to Sugarhouse park and did a workout with Levi and Larry. We started with a lap warm up but then Levi and I did an extra half mile with Larry with part of his workout. Then Levi and I's workout was one lap of 2x1 light posts, but since going downhill hurt Levi's feet really bad, we went the longway around the park, going around the pond, we went into the ally thingy and then went back the same way so we didn't have to go down the big hill. That was actually 2 miles instead of 1.5 so then  we did a lap cooldown. When I got home I did my weights and core and was done. Well with running, back to loads of homework.

This morning I met up with Larry and Levi at Sugarhouse park. Levi and I did a 5 mile warm up of running over to 33rd south and back. Then we did the speed. We started with a 200 with 100 recovery, then 400 with100 recovery then 800 with 200 recovery then 400 with 100 recovery then another 200 with 100 recovery then we did a 100 and a lap cooldown. I don't know my times but for the 800 I know it was 2:39 but for the rest I am clueless. Then Levi and I did a lap cooldown and called it a day. I still need to go five miles though...... When I got home I did my core and started studying.
