Today since it was a late start, I went out a mile and back. I would have gone farther but it was really really cold.

Today I actually went to Bills workout! So we met up at the track and did a mile warm up and a mile of speed changes. Susannah and Ben came to the workout so it was fun to talk to them during the workout. So the workout was 3 timed miles but to watch my shins because I have not done speed for 3 weeks roughly so I only did 800s. My time for the first one was 2:50, then my times went like this, 2:41, and 3:22. I really pushed on the first 2 so I was really dead for the last one. I decided to stick with Caden and push with him. In between each of the reps, we did a lap recovery. Then Caden and I did a 1.3 mile cooldown to get an even 5 for the day. I would put my Garmin Links on but my Garmin is being way weird. When I got home I did my 3 sets of weighted arm swings, weighed calf raises, and wall sits.

Today since after school I had to go to AP United States History seminar, I decided to meet up with Levi at Sugarhouse Park. So we did about a mile warm up, then 6 strides. Then the workout was one timed lap but fast. So I got out fast going up the first hill to push the hill because I knew as soon as I got to the top of it, it was pretty downhill for almost a mile. So I pushed way hard until going up the second hill that really killed me. I just stayed consistent to the top of the hill then I pushed it hard along the straightaway and down the last hill. When I was going around these curves, a ton of runners were cheering me on because I was ahead of Levi but he was fast approaching me. So I kicked it in to the finish. My final time was 9:03 when my previous time was 9:08 so I got faster, and we went along the harder way along the park. Then Levi and I did a SLOW lap cooldown. Then we stretched until my parents go there to pick me up.

Today we had a track workout. We started at the school, ran up to the track. Then we did 2 miles of dynamic stretching. So the first lap was high knees, but kicks, skippy thing, skips, 2 laps of grape vine and a lap of standing on the toes. Then we went over to the hill and did 10 hills starting at half court. Then Caden and I went on a cooldown till we got to 5 miles around Sunnyside park.
