I really need to remember to blog... Anyway, I ran down to Sugarhouse Park as a warm up then weighted form my dad to bring my weights. I did a third of a mile with the weights on the field then I did a hill. I did that twice then I went home and watched the rest of the Harry Potter series! Harry Potter Marathons RULE!

Met up with my fitness class for a workout. We did a lap around the huntsman center for warm up then heard the workout. It was 1600, 1200, 800, 400 or 4 laps, 3 laps, 2 laps and 1 lap around the huntsman center. The Huntsman Center is .27 around so we were doing extra on each lap. I don't know my times for the mile, 1200 or 800 but my 400 was 88 so around 80 for a 400. I think this class is making me slower because I felt like I was sprinting on that 80.... Then I ran home along foothill over to 1700 south and down to 1900 east and home. That went by SO MUCH FASTER than the usual way home.

I think I am getting slower because Mike outkicked me on the last 400 and I was at least 50 meters ahead of him on everything else. He ran an 85 or so. Maybe this fitness class was not the best idea because I am getting mileage but it is SLOW! I ran home the same pace I did my mile at..... 7:01 average for the run.

Since it is my sisters birthday today we are going to the Lion House for lunch! YUM! She is turning 20! Happy Birthday Courtney!

Since in college we DO NOT get the day before Thanksgiving off from school, I have class this afternoon:( But since I work in the Salt Lake School District I did not have work this morning so I got to sleep in til 8 AM!!! When I woke up I at a bagel then realized I need to running so I waited a while then went on the run. I ran down to Sugarhouse park, I felt HORRIBLE! I felt slow, fat, cold, and stiff. For the past few days my ankle has felt really weak like it can't support my weight and today it was really bad. I looked like a wobbly old man walking across the street. I managed my way to Sugarhouse park hoping I would warm up and I never did so I did a lap with alternating lightpoles speed changes, then stretched hoping that would help... No such luck, did another lap doing two lightpoles on one off... Still not feeling like a runner then I came home.... I averaged 7:39 but I had to walk up a few of the hills because I was exhausted. I don't know why I was so tired this morning. I walked 3 times! I am so mad at myself for having to walk.... I should've pushed through it or ran slower. Maybe I am just not used to running in the morning because I ususally dont run until 11 AM or 6 PM. I don't know. Today was very dissappointing...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!! This morning I met up with my RUNNING BUDDY! Ida is home from BYU for Thanksgiving!! We met at Sugarhouse Park, not knowing there was a Turkey Trot there... We would have done that if we knew! Anyway, we decided to run up to the H Rock. We ran up 2100 South until 2300 East, then we turned up the first right.. I think it was also 2100 South but I am not sure. Then we ran up that until passed foothill until the highest street then we went on the trail up there and got to the H Rock. Then we stretched for a long time talking about college. We stretched for probably 20 minutes.. Way to long! But time got away from us talking about college, majors, classes, the U and BYU. Then we came back the same way but once I got to 1900 East I had to turn and go home.... Now it is time to prepare for TURKEY DAY!!!!! I wore my old orange Brooks to see if that helped my ankle and it did! It is definitely time for new shoes.. Luckily tomorrow is Black Friday;)

This afternoon I met up with Ida after a LONG night of Black Friday Shopping. I ran from Sugarhouse Park, up to 2100 east, over to 3300 south back down to the park. Averaged 7:38 and didn't have to stop! I am starting to feel like a runner again! I am going to take the rest of the weekend off to try and heal my shins... Hopefully it works.. It is getting really painful and REALLY annoying!
