AM: Ran from HPER down to the cemetery on 5th south, did a lap around the cemetery than ran back up to campus. 7:42 pace. Starting to feel better around my shins and on hills!

PM: 4 miles on the treadmill to give the shins a rest.

Did a mile warm up around the Highland High school track, then did 8 strides with progressive pick ups half way along the stride... My shins hurt right at the beginning of the run but as time went on they started to feel better and by the end they were not hurting at all. I am not sure I should do the speed workout in my Fitness class though... HMM... Then I did a mile on the track and an outside lap around the park. I love the new trail but it is super sketchy when it is pitch black and I cant see the creeper hiding behing the bushes. Came home and iced my shins for 10 minutes each then I facetimed Dominique for 2 hours..... WE HAVE NO LIVES!

umping AM: In my fitness class since the track was closed for construction we did 400s around the huntsman center, We  did 10 and each was about a .27 around the center. I was hitting 100 seconds on each lap, I hit all my times exactly. After each 400 we did an excercise, lunges, 2x30 seconds of step ups, burpees, push ups, calf raises, wall sits, squats, jumping squats. Then I ran home. My shins hurt way bad on the way home. we only went one way around the huntsman center and I wanted to alternate so both legs could be on the outside... Oh well, 7:11 pace.

PM: 400 meter warm up, 12x150 meter strides with the last 4 being progressively getting faster, then a lap around the park and ran home. NIce cold dark run..... I HATE WINTER!

I didn't go running today because I was on campus until 8 PM because I had class then ASUU then a group project, but I did play an AWESOME game of mini golf with Susannah! It was sp much fun! Such a creative course! Then I walked from the union, (after my World of Dinosaurs class) Down to presidents circle, walked the whole circle, up to the engineering buildings, up to the medical school all the way over to JCC back down passed the WEB and the union, down to SSB over to the library and to my group... My back pack was so heavy by the end! I am not used to walking with my back pack anymore! 

half mile warm up around Highland Track, then 4 sets of stairs, then a lap, 4 sets of stair then another lap, another 4 sets of stairs and another lap, then 3 laps. Then 2.5 miles.
