Short run up in the avenues while my dad was walking around. I didn't get the XC stuff so I don't know that deal haha

Later today I met up with Larry for a short speed workout. I jogged over to Sugarhouse park, and did a half mile warm up with Larry. Then I did 2 150 meter long strides with 2 150 meter long strides progressively getting faster. Then we did 3 200 meter uphill strides progressively getting faster each 20 meters. We had a 200 meter recovery after those jogging back to the start. Then I started the speed. I did 3 200s in 34, 35, 33 with 90 seconds recovery. Then I did a 400 in 72. Todays workout was a good one and a fun one. Then I did a lap cooldown on the track and called it a day.

Today again I didn't get the XC email on where the workout is so I went and did my own workout. I started with a half mile warm up around the Highland High School Track, then immense stretching because I was sore from the hills yesterday. Then I went over to the road in the park and did a lightpost run. I started with 1x1x1x1x1x1x2x1x2x1x2x1x1x1x1x1x1x1. I started on and then did 3 sets of 1 on 1 off, 2 on 1 off, and 1 on 1 off. Then I finished out the lap and did another lap for a cooldown.

PM: Today at Tiny Tots, I started with a half mile warm up with the kids then the distance group was going on an LSD run. I took the little Bantam kids for 30 minutes while Kenzie took the older kids for 40 minutes. I took my kids up to sunnyside out one mile and back. Which was not a good idea because I did not know I was not supposed to leave the track with the kids, so that was bad but Tolbert has my back and told all the parents that it was his fault for not telling me where I can and can not take the kids for thier run.

AM: went over to Dilworth elementary with my dad to do 400s. I did a lap warm up, then 3 400s in 71-72. Then I did a lap cooldown.

PM: At tiny tots, I did a half mile warm up alone then did Tolberts workout, which was like butt kicks, high knees, buttkick high knees, and then snaps. We did 15 of each. Then the kids came and it was a speed workout for them. I was pacing the Bantams I think for 90-95 seconds of each lap. Their workout was 800-400-400-200-200. I did the 800-400-200-200 with them because I was timing on the other two. So I brought the kids through in 3:09 for the 800, then 76 in the 400, and my last 200 I did 34. I was just pacing myself of the 400 and the 200. Then I did a 200 recovery back to the start. After my 400 I jogged a 400 then ran down to the 200 to read out their splits for the 400. Then I cooled down and called it a day.

Today since I got the text about Abigails workout after I had already ran I didn't go to her workout. So I went from my house, over to Sugarhouse park, did a lap in their with some other cross country team, then did an outside lap and ran home. When I got home I ran up to Clayton and back to get to 5. I felt like I was going so slow today! I feel so lost without my Garmin! I need it to pace me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PM: Tonight at Tiny Tots I got there early and decided to do a light speed workout because it was centers day where all of the kids do all of the events to try out new stuff so I didn't think I would get a workout in. So I did a mile warm up then changed shoes. I did 4 200s in 32, 31, 32, 32. I felt really good on these. Then I changed back into my shoes and did a half mile cooldown. Then Walter said I was going to do  another workout. It was a weird type of Fartlek. Where we sprint all out 50 meters, then go back down to our race pace for 50 meters, then repeat. Since I had already done the 200s I only had to do a half mile of that when everyone else did a mile of it. I felt really fast on that, then I did a lap cooldown to get to 3 this afternoon.

Today I did a speed workout, or I attempted to do a speed workout. I started with a mile warm up, then 3 laps of J's to loosen up my sore legs. The workout was 400, 800, 400 all at 70 pace. My first 400 was 68 and I was not tired at all. Then when I found out I was doing an 800 at 70 pace, I mentally broke down. My first 400 was 70 and I was dyeing and I had to drop out after 100 meters of the second lap because I could not breathe. I don't know what was wrong but it was horrible! Then the last 400 I did in 71. Then I did a half mile cooldown and called it a rough day.
