No running today... I SHOULDVE RUN TODAY! I didn't run today because I didn't think I have Peer Court tomorrow... I was mistaken... :( I have Peer Court tomorrow so I cant run tomorrow. CRAP!

While driving to Student Government today I was Eleanor and Sarah so I had to stop and talk to them for a few minutes! That was awesome! They looked great! Anyway, after Student Government, it stopped raining and snowing outside so I took advantage of it and went for a run. My Garmin broke so I had to try this new Timex Ironman Triathlon one I got for graduation. I couldn't figure how to turn on the GPS so my whole warm up it was just timing me. I ran down to SHP and did my normal 1.5 mile warm up then I tried to figure out how to turn on the GPS... I should probably read the instructions first, but I did figure it out! I did 8 strides going around the park with 10 second recovery then I did an 800 back and i did that twice. By this time it was pouring rain and snowing at the same time so my mom pulled me out because I cant get sick right before finals and Colorado. I should've just gone to the treadmill so I could've gotten my full 8 for today. Oh well.... :( More running for tomorrow! :) I came home took a nice long hot shower and watched 2 Fast 2 Furious!

Day 2 of IRONMAN TIMEX GPS watch: Ran down to SHP and did a half mile there. Did a ladder around the park of 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1 with 1 lightpole recovery. I ran this to see how my breathing would do and I only coughed on the first 1 light pole! That is exciting!! I then met up with Levi who was just running around the park adn I did a lap around the park with him then I ran home. Cooldown was 6:56 pace because we just kept talking and didnt notice the pace.

Day 3 of IRONMAN TIMEX watch: Today sucked. I wanted to get 8 miles in but I started late and had to be done by 6:15 because the community service board at the U was going down to the YWCA at 7 to volunteer with the kids there. I ran down to SHP and did a lap in the park to get 2.5 miles warm up, then I did 8x200 with Larry then I did 2x400 and had to go. I wanted to run 4 miles on the treadmill when I got home but I had to eat dinner and my legs were exhausted from not cooling down.... I will try to fit in 4 miles tomorrow between work, school, training, ASUU, and the Grand Kerfuffle.... Busy busy day tomorrowl.
