Today my sister and I went over to the gym to do a workout. I did 7 miles on the treadmill I started out slow, went medium speed, fast, and did that every mile.

This morning I went for a little run because I don't think I can go to practice after school because of Aida the Musical. So since it is early in the morning, my dad came along and drove next to me while I ran. I ran down to sugarhouse park, but then the gate was closed so my dad could not drive in there, so I went back up to 1700 east and ran along that like I am doing the cemetery run in the summer. So I ran until I was at 2 miles then I turned around and came back the same way. I accidentally pressed stop on my garmin when I stopped to talk to my dad and never turned it on again.

Today since we didn't have rehearsal for Aida after school I got to go to practice. So I met up with Levi and we did a lap warm up, when we were coming around the lap we met up with Bruce at sugarhouse park. Then the workout was a light pole workout. What we did was we strided out from one light post to another, then recovered. The workout was 8 on and 8 off, then 3 on when you strided out for 2 light posts and recovered for one, then 6 more of the individual ones. Levi and I were supposed to hit roughly 6 minute pace when we were striding but we went a bit faster on every one. Then we did a mile and a half cooldown to get an even 5 miles. When I came home I did my 3 sets of weighted arm swings. Here is my Garmin Link:

Today after going to Science day at the U, I met up with Levi and we did a run. I got to wear my knew running pants that are supposed to keep my legs really warm, and they did work. The run was supposed to be a mile of J's at the track then go out to 4500 South by weaving in and out of streets so it would be 4.5 miles out and 4.5 miles back to get an even 10 for the day. But since it was snowing hard already, we just wanted to get done so we did 6 strides in the park, then go out as far as we could until we can not see. We made it 2.5 miles out until both our eyes were watering because of the snow hitting them so we turned around and came back even faster. Overall it was a good run, it was nice to be able to just go for a run at a nice pretty fast pace. Here is my Garmin Link:
