Went over to the Skyline HS track. I ran 4 laps warmup in lane 4, then did 4 laps of running up and down the bleachers, finish the lap around the track and throw in some drills. Then I cooled down until 4. My shin hurt the entire run so I think it is time to pull out the compression socks. I might go on a short run later to see if that helps my legs.

Met up with Ida, Larry, Danny, Nina, and Ben at SHP. We did an inside lap warm up, then we did 8x200 on the grass field. Felt great during those. I wore my compression socks to help my shins and they felt great. Then we cooled down until 5 miles.

AM: 2 miles in the morning just to jog around the neighborhood.

PM: met up with Ida and Danny at SHP. I did a half mile warm up around the field, then we did an outer lap which got me to 3 miles. Then I did an extra mile to get to 4.

Weekly trail run with Suzette. We met at City Creek Canyon to run up the canyon. I loved it. We turned at 2 miles because large animals kept appearing and it was starting to freak us out. My shins feel great when I wear my compression socks.

AM: 2 miles of barefoot running on the grass in the park near my house.

PM: met with Ben, Billy, Levi, Danny, Larry, and another guy whom I did not know his name at SHP. I did a half mile to shake out the legs around the football field then stretched. We did an outside loop then we did 4x200, then 2 hills of the 2nd uphill on the state course. My shins felt great. I wanted a 2 mile cooldown, but only was able to do 1.5 miles so I did an inside lap with Danny and Levi. Good run with great people.

Met up with Nick this afternoon and ran 4 miles on the track with him. We averaged 7:20 and felt great. My shins did hurt though because I didnt wear my socks. Did my core.
