Today for practice I met Levi and Tony at Highlands track for a speed workout. So I jogged down to the track and did a mile of speed changes. Then I stretched for a bit waiting for everybody to get there. Some running club was there also and we decided to run with them. So the workout was originally 2 400s, at 80 pace, 2 800s at 2:40 pace then 1 1200 at 4:20 pace. But since I didn't know if I was running state on Wednesday or not Tony shortened my workout. So Levi and I on the first 400 did 77. Then the second also 77 seconds. Then I had to go to the bathroom but I was trying to hold it in for the rest of the workout. Our 800 was 2:40 exactly and right after the 800 I booked it to the bathroom. I missed the next 800 even though I wasn't going to do it. So on the 1200 I was just supposed to do the last 200 meters with Levi to have him kick it in, which he did really well. Then for a cooldown we did a big lap around the park.

Today at cross country practice we did a easy run. Mile warm up, mile of speed changes then mile cooldown. Then to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner!!!

Since today is State and I didn't know if I would be running because I was an alternate Caden and I did a mile warm up cheering for the other "A's". Then we found out we were not racing we cheered hard for 4A girls and Boys giving us 1.5 for the day. Great job Natalie for getting 6th overall!!!!!! Great job for everyone else who ran Abigail, Maggie, Annie, Sarah, Becca, Olivia, Scott, Dylan, Abdullahi, Dakota, Sam, Chris, and Kevin!!!!!!!!!

Since yesterday was state and I was really stupid and decided to run through the river to cheer on the 3A girls and get my feet soaked, I think I got a little cold. So I decided to go for a little run and see how it went. It went horrible!!!!!!!! I made it halfway around Sugarhouse Park feeling like I was going to die!!!!!!!!!!! I just decided to jog back not caring how slow I went. It was horrible!
