Since I didn't need to go to 1st period because we have already taken the AP test, well most people have, I haven't! It sucks! I have to take it on friday because I was in Colorado! Anywase, jogged down to Highland and back. Easy peasy lemon squeezy run while pancakes were cooking! 

PM: I did a lap around sugarhouse park with Levi for a warm up then we walked over to the track. We started with the 20%, 30% 40% 50% percent incline of speed changes then we "did" the workout. I got through the warm up then had to stop because of my stupid knee! I think its my shoes because they are worn out a bit and are making my knees go inside when I run so I am going to try out new shoes and see if that doesn't hurt my knee. I did 8 100 meter strides barefoot along the grass and that didn't hurt my knee at all so hopefully it is just the shoes because then I can start seriously training!

Mile warm up with Levi and Andy and a mile of speed changes. We did that mile of speed changes in 5:33, the 20% 30% 40% and 50% on the recovery's. Then I did a 400 to the bathroom, then came back and chased Andy in a 400. I started 10 seconds behind me and Levi started 2 seconds behind me. Levi caught up to me but did not pass me, I came through at 63. Then I timed Andy in an 800 in 3:52, I was supposed to bring him under 4 minutes. Then I did a mile cooldown. I ended early because my knee started hurting. I changed shoes to see if that helped with my knee and it did, I think it was the shoes! YAY NOT TO SERIOUS!!!!

Today was the first day of Tiny Tots Track Club!!!! I lead the boys in a group lap warm up then we all stretched in the center of the field. Then Tolbert broke us into groups. Me and Dominique was in charge of the hurdle section when they bunny hopped over the hurdles! Then we all did a group lap cooldown and stretched and had the coaches meeting. Then I did my workout. I did a half mile warm up, mile of speed changes then 4 200s with 200 recovery. My times were 34, 35, 35, 35. I was dissapointed with these but my knee didn't hurt until the last one. I did the 200s in my spikes. Then I took my spikes off and did 2 grass laps cooldown.

Today was the second day of Tiny Tots. So I picked Dominique up early and we went to the track early to do my workout. I was going to make today a recovery day to be cautious about my knee. So we did a half mile warm up then a half mile of J's. Then I put my spikes on and did a timed 400 in 65 seconds. Then I changed shoes and did a 3 lap cooldown. Then the kids for Tiny Tots came and I took them on a one lap warm up then a stretching circle in the center of the field. Then Tolbert had Me, Vuong, Dominique, Jasmine, and Caroline do the 800 workouts. IT was sprint for 50 meters, jog 50 meters and walk 50 meters for 2 laps around the track. We did that with the 8 and under kids, 9-10 year olds, 11-12 year olds, and then for the 13 and up we changed it from a 50 each it was 75x75x75. Since we had to change the cones twice for the 50 to 75 Vuong and I did 2 extra laps. We did the 800s 4 times plus the 2 laps of recovery changing the cones. Then we had the coaches meeting and Caroline and I did 2 laps cooldown to get to 5 for the day. Today was great! My knee did not hurt at all!! So I guess it was my shoes that was hurting my knee! I am so relieved that it was just the shoes rather than something serious!
