This afternoon I decided to go for a run because yesterday I felt so bad for not running but I was with family ALL day. I did the same run as last Sunday. I felt so much more exhausted than last time! I wore way to many clothes! I guess I didn't need the running tights, long pants, long compression socks, ear muffs, hat, long sleeve shirt and running jacket and a pair of gloves. I would probably have been fine with just the tights and the long sleeve shirt...... Anyway I averaged a faster pace than last week but I was really tired throughout the whole run. I am glad I got out the door though. I felt like I was going 9-10 minute miles but I was going 7:30-8:30 depending on ice. I like this run a lot. When I got to SHP I saw a ton of people I knew! My cousins were sledding and I saw Ben. Fun but HOT AND EXHAUSTING run!

Awesome run this afternoon! I met up with larry again we did a few strides as a warm up then we did an 800 and I did it at 6 Minute pace. Then I ran around the park with larry then I finished it out until 4 miles. My parents came and picked me up early because we had to go buy stuff for tomorrow then I came home and biked. Fun night.... BUT COLD!

Yesterday I planned on running the New Years run but then we had people at my house and we went and saw the lights at Temple Square so my mom wouldn't let me. So Today I just ran on the treadmill because we had family at my house again.. I am going to need to do 2 a days for the rest of the week to get the mileage.

This morning I ran on the treadmill for 36 minutes. The treadmill didn't do distance it just did time so I ran for a little longer than I normally would for 4 miles to make sure I got the mileage. My heel has been hurting since Christmas... It is incredibly weird! I will run again tonight.

PM: I ran down to SHP but right when I got to the park I had to go potty really really bad so I ran back up to Dunkin Donuts. I ran back down to the park to meet up with Larry but he didn't come. I got about 1.5 miles warm up. Then I did 4 strides. 12 strides around the park then ran the rest of the park as a cooldown. Then I ran around the park 1.5 more times to get to 6 miles. A fun and SCARY RUN! I saw an ALIEN!!!! JK It was just immature High School kids with intense laser pointers that they were on top of the hill pointing the laser pointer at me. 7:14 Average.

6 miles on the treadmill at a pretty good pace.

5 on the treadmill. I am so upset with myself. I had 2 miles to go until 40 miles for the week but I decided to go sledding instead. That means next week I will have to hit 42 to even out. Treadmill SWAGGGG!
