AM: 4 miles at my grandmas house. Added in some speed changes but overall pretty good run.

PM: Tonight I met with Levi for a workout. We did a mile warm up, then a mile of J's then a 200 in 32 then we did 12 strides and then I cooled down till I got to 6 miles. 

This afternoon I met up with Dave, Tim, Andrea, Doug, Harry, Levi, and Larry for a timed trial. So we started with a mile warm up then a few strides. Tim, Dave and I were going to pace Levi at a 4:40 mile. So Tim and Dave did the first 1200 with him then I did the last 800 with him so we were in a group of 4 for the third lap which was fun. Levi died in this and got a 4:50, the first 800 was right on pace at 2:18 then the last 800 he died and we did a 2:30 last 800. I stayed with him for 500 meters then I blew him away so he did like a 2:34 last 800. Then since his time was slow we did another 800. We did it in lanes, I was in lane 5, Levi in 4, Andrea in 7, Doug in 6, Tim in 3, Dave in 2. I started and immediately passed Doug and Andrea but Dave caught up to me at the 100 and we were neck and neck for 200 meters but since i was in an outer lane he passed me and Tim caught me so we finished together in 65 seconds. Then Levi, Tim and I did 6 strides then cooled down about 2 miles.

This morning I went with my dad for 5 miles at highlands track. I did a mile warm up, 800, 800, 400, 400 with equal recovery then a mile cooldown. Man I am sore!!!!!! I should have done this stuff at my grandmas house!!!

PM: This afternoon I met up with Sarah! to go for a run in the afternoon. We met at 4 in the afternoon so in the heat of the day. We started from my house, ran up to Dilworth elementary, then over to 1700 south, down to Wasatch Hollow park, into the trail there all the way till the trail ended, left the trail the way we came, went down the park till 1600 east then back over to 1700 south up to 1700 east over to like 1900 south then up to 2000 east over to Downington avenue and back to my house. It was four miles, a pretty easy four miles but they were hot. We went at a nice and relaxed pace. 

AM: Three miles in the morning.

PM: I was able to squeeze in two miles before I had to go party:) 

This morning I got up early and my knee was killing me. I decided to run anywase. I did three miles then I couldn't stand my knee anymore so I came home and did more weights. I will go later tonight though.

PM; Tonight I went on a three mile run to get to 35 for the week. So I went out and just ran around my neighborhood. My Garmin was acting up because it said I was going at a 9:20 pace for the first mile and I know it was not a 9:20 pace. But I got it down to a 7:20 pace. My legs are tired.
