After a tropical summer, I forgot that rain is COLD here! So I froze on my run. It felt like my 2-hour run lasted forever! Three times I got really freaked out when the power lines right next to me crackled and sparked blue right before a huge burst of thunder came. I was sure I was done for... but no electrocution for me, thank goodness! Cold cold cold! My cold was almost gone before this run, but I guess this'll prolong it. Now for some hot cocoa to make it all better. Avg. 7:57/mi. (GT 130)

Besides the painful rash(es) I've been dealing with, this morning's run was awesome. Ran out on to the river trail and on it a ways, then back. A bit chilly to begin with, but my legs felt great and quick the whole run w/o pushing at all.  Avg. 7:48/mi. (GT 137.8)

Good times! Today's workout was awesome! Especially compared to last week's speed work on Monday. So, for our workout, we ran out to a park and did some grass repeats - 12x400m in 3 sets of 4. Woo! First set, GP- 1:30 w/1:00 recovery, next set GP- 85-87 sec w/63-65 rec, and last set GP- 80-83 w/97-100. Our times were pretty consistent and we stayed together pretty well throughout. Oops on #1, but the first set was really pretty easy: 1:32, 1:30, 1:28, 1:28. After our 4:00 break, we did the next set - still not too bad and just cruisin' with everybody: 1:25,1:25, 1:25, 1:23. The last set was a bit harder and my heartrate didn't slow down much between repeats, but it felt good and we had some great times: 1:17, 1:18, 1:17, 1:16. Really a fun workout and a confidence boost. Then we ran back to the training room and did abs and stretched and ice bathed and all that good stuff. I love college! (GT 141.8) (DD spike 58.6)

Planned out my time wrong, so I only ended up getting 50 minutes of my  run in before our weight circuit this afternoon. I really should go to bed earlier. (Doh!) I ran around up 15th N and onto the Bonneville Shoreline trail for a bit, then back to my dorm the long way. It only ended up being 6.1 miles, but I'm planning on 20 or so minutes later this evening to make up for my mistake with timing earlier. Hopefully. (GT 147.9)

At around 9:30pm, Bryan Janson came with me on a fun, eventful run around town! We'd both never seen the Logan Temple, so we ran there and walked around for a while. A couple minutes into the run back home, my guts killed me! Less than a half-hour before the run, I drank 2 big glasses of chocolate milk and ate some blonde brownies. They were good then, but not later on! My guts were churning so badly that I couldn't even run w/o losing it. So we walked about a half mile to the nearest public restroom. That was the longest half-mile walk of my life! Once that was over, we ran back up the hill to campus, up Old Main hill (by stair), across campus and through the cemetery back to my dorm. It was really fun and relaxing. We ended up going a bit farther than I meant to, though... about 4.3 miles. Good times, though. (GT 152.2)

Easy 45 minute run with a 5:00 push at 6:57/mi pace. Just cruised and ran comfy. Out on 12th and back to the training room to stretch and ice. Legs are a bit stiff from a couple crazy running days and biking everywhere, but hopefully tomorrow I'll be hunky-dory! (GT 157.7)

This course sucked!! Three laps of the same exact loop = no fun at all. Plus the course was long, so times were slow for everybody. But aside from those rather inconvenient facts, the race was good. Not amazing, not bad, just reasonably good. I think I could've run faster by quite a bit, since I just kept cruising along and only pushed it hard a couple times. So, I'm going to do better on that front next time - most definitely! And it was super awesome to see all the PV team and goof off with friends at the meet! Oh, and I got 4th on my team and our team got 4th (almost 3rd - by one point), so not bad there either. (GT 161.2) (DD spike 61.7)
