Since Tomorrow I am going to the Peer Court conference, I wont have time to run a lot so I went on the cemetery run from my house.

This morning I woke up early because I am going to the peer court conference later today. I did a mile warm up, then did 6 400s in 75-80. My knee was hurting a lot in the warm up but during the 400s, it did not hurt at all. Which I thought was weird. I was surprised I could do this workout because of the disappointing fiasco that happened on Friday. Then I did a 3.5 mile cooldown.

Today was the first day of the peer court conference so I woke up early and walked outside, but it was freezing so I decided to go to the treadmill. So I did 4 miles on the treadmill in the morning. Then later that day I went down to the weight room again with Ana and I did 2 miles on the elliptical and then weighted calf raises and weighted arm swings then I stretched out a bit.

Today I slept in so I didn't go in the morning but I felt really guilty so I went over to the weight room later in the day during free time and ran on the treadmill while my friend walked along on the other treadmill. I did 4 miles and I was really sore from the elliptical yesterday and my knee was hurting a little so I went back up to my room and iced my knee for twenty minutes.

This afternoon when I got home from the peer court conference, I did a light speed workout with Levi. AND MY GARMIN CAME IN THE MAIL because I broke my other one...... Anywase, I ran down to Sugarhouse Park with my spikes, did a lap in the park with Levi then I did 8 strides on the grass because my knee was hurting again. So after that, since my knee was hurting I didn't have to do the full five minutes. I was pacing Levi in a run to see how far on the track he could get in five minutes. I was supposed to do the last five minutes with him. So I started about 100 meters into his 3rd lap around the track and we immediately sped up. Then with 300 meters left until Levi got to the mile he had about 45 seconds until he wasn't going to be under five anymore so I was told to just go for it and run hard and gap Levi. Then we came through the mile in 4:57 so we got farther than a mile! Then we took 2 laps recovery on the grass and soaked our heads. Then we did a timed 400. I did it in 69 seconds still with spikes on. Then took another lap on the grass and called it a day.

This morning I got up and I was sore stiff from dancing HARD two nights ago! So I left my house, ran up to clayton, turned down on that street by clayton, ran it all the way down till 2100 South then went up to 1900 East and back home, Then watched to new Snooki and Jwoww show:)

When waiting for my aunt to come out of surgery because her small intestine ruptured or something I decided to get my second run in. I went out a mile and a half on 5400 south or 5300 south, I dont remember. Then I came back the same way and went and waited for my aunt in recovery and am still waiting in the hospital.....

This morning I woke up crazy early, more like my dad had to physically force me out of bed. So I jogged a mile warm up then went over to the track for 2 800 time trials with my cheering squad (AKA my parents)

. I didnt time my 800s, I just ran what felt like I was pushing, my parents screamed out one minute and 2 minutes when they passed so I am assuming I did about 2:20 for both. After 2 I was dead so I did a mile cooldown. Then when I was mowing my lawn I realized I had another half mile to do so after mowing my lawn I ran up to 1700 east and back..................... BOOYA!
