This morning, I woke up early and ran only one mile because my calf was still incredibly sore... I am going home and icing it and hopefully that helps. After icing it, I did squats, crunches, side crunches, arm swings and push ups. No calf raises today.

Later today I will go running again.

Tonight, since Nadia came over I didn't want to go running for very long so Courtney, Nadia and I went over to the East track and I did 2.25 miles there. I did a mile of grass laps, then I did 4 X strides then cooled down. Since before I finished out to two miles I wasn't done with my last lap I decided to go to 2.25 haha 

In the blazing sun above, I went out and did 2 miles..... I ran on the grass to help my calf because it still killed last night..

When I got home I did crunches, push ups, squats, calf raises, side crunches, superman's, and other core activities.... I'll go running later tonight haha 

This afternoon at CCC, I did a longer run to loosen up my legs and to try to stay in the shade. I went out two miles and back. Half way I stopped and stretched because I was absolutely dead from the heat and lack of water. I feel bad for the people who had to have shirts on at the "U", it was way to hot for shirts.. 

This morning I went out two miles to see how my calf was feeling.... IT FELT SO BAD! I thought I was going to tear it on every step! 

At CCC I did a mile warm up, then 10 strides on coach "K"'s hill then did a grass lap. Then I did the team warm up, and timed the distance kids in 400's. I did the last 200 with them and we did 5. Roughly 33-40 depending on the kid. When I got home I did an extra quarter mile to get to 15

I didn't get up to run but I will try to go later in the day... But when I got to my grandmas house I did squats, side crunches, crunches, push ups, and other core activities. I didn't do calf raises because my calf is still killing me

This morning I slept in passed my run so I didn't go run in the morning:( But I did do two miles on the elliptical then I did my core: Push ups, crunches, side crunches, bike crunches, superman, and squats. I would have done my calf raises but my calf is still killing me. I will go run later today though.

PM: I went over to sugarhouse park to meet up with Levi and Larry for a speed workout. So when I got there, I did a mile warm up, then stretched for 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes went by of stretching and no one came so I ran home which brought me to 2.5 miles then I ran 1.75 miles out the other way and back to get to 6 for today. 

This morning I met up with Stormy and Eden for a run. We decided to go up to shoreline by the zoo and do a 5 mile run. A half mile into the run we forgot how hilly that trail is and how horrible it is to run on! It was an incredibly fun and crazy run! After that we went over to the grass to do core...... That didn't happen!

PM: My sister and I went over to Highlands Track for a light speed workout. I did a half mile warm up, and 800 at whatever pace felt comfortable for me. I was running at 5K Pace so 2:40 is what I hit. Then I did a 400 at mile pace, 75 seconds then I did 6x50 meter sprints for the 4x100 I race:) Then I cooled down til I was at 2 miles. After the 800 I did a lap recovery then after the 400 I did the same. Then I finally started my core when it started drizzling on us. I did crunches, push ups, bike crunches, and side crunches. Then I stretched a ton while my sister was finishing up her lap. My calf was hurting on both runs today but it was bearable...
