today was speed. we did the usual mile warm-up, mile speed changes, then we did a mile, 800, mile, and an 800. I hate speed, and it isn't fun for me, so yeah today sucked. I actually did better than I normally did though. then we did a mile cool down.

today was the flagpole run. I had Olivia to push with, so I did okay. It wasn't the greatest day for me, but I'm glad Olivia was there to help push me, and I'm sure she was glad I pushed her. we went up past hogle zoo and along some street down to thunderbird.  anyway, when we got to the drinking fountain, there was no water! we were mad about that! hehe! so then we went along foothill and down to 1900 E. this is where Olivia left me. She had to go somewhere. I followed that to sunnyside and down to the East track.

We ran along guardsman to the cemetery where we did 10 continuous hills on a really long hill. By like 5 I was ready to be done. But that wasn't gonna happen! then Bill finally arrived and I had really wanted to stop. yep, well he was going way faster than me and I tried to keep up, but still lagged behind. He and some other people came back around and lapped me. then I finished my 10 (yay!) and went along to complete the loop. I was going pretty slow when Bill came up behind me and told me to keep running even though i was tired. I stayed up with him (at his pace) as we went along 1300 E. when we were going up sunnyside I was dying, but I stayed up with him. I thought I did a pretty good job.

for warm-up, we did a mile warm up mile speed changes. then we did 6 800s. Honestly, speed has never been to fun for me, so this really killed me. I was really tired. I especially hate 800s and miles. Yep, it sucked. Mile and a half cool down.

today was the shriners run. I felt really good! I started out at my normal pace, then I tried to keep up with annie. I felt pretty good, so I stayed with Natalie for a little bit. When we were sort of by the U of U campus, we had to wait for a light, and I talked to Chris for a bit. Then I tried to stay up with him and the front boys. That lasted until I got to the drinking fountain. Then I lagged behind, and Bill told me to keep up with him when I reached him, so I did. I had a hard time going along 11th Ave. but I managed. I stayed with Bill all the way until around sunnyside, then I started to lag behind a bit, but I tried to keep up. luckily we were almost done. This was a great run for me and I'm glad I pushed myself!

We normally don"t have workouts on Saturday, but because State is coming up we had one. We did 6 400s and 6 200s. After the 400s, I was really tired. I did the 200s, and I'm just glad I finished. It was frustrating though because only 6 girls and 3 boys showed up we should have at least 20 people coming. It was 6 miles.

Today was state. I ran a 1 mile warm up. In the race, I did pretty bad. I think I started out too fast at the beginning. I crashed when I was running around the pond the first time. I tried to just keep running, but it was really hard, especially with a hill right after i crashed. I wanted to stop so many times, but I wouldn't let myself. The second time around the pond was one of the times I really almost stopped, but then people told me there was only a little bit left. I thought that the race ended sooner than it did, so I kicked way too soon. I got to the highland track when I felt like I was gonna pass out. I had trouble staying conscious, so went really slow and probably looked like a fool. It was a really scary feeling. it was a really bad race. I got 23:14.2, a full minute behind my P. R. I was 124th overall, 115th scoring, and 6th from East. I'm just glad I got the experience so that I know what I need to work on.

Today I ran from my house to sugarhouse, and did a lap on the road. then i went to the East track like we always do, except that I didn't cross the street. I went down to the road just above the tennis courts and followed it to 900 S. I went up 900 S. and down Military Dr. and on 1700 E and back to my house. It was a 6.25 mile run.

Okay, so I have officially run out of Ideas for runs, so now I am adding onto some of the team runs. Today I added on to the cemetery loop run. Sorry, I forgot the name of the cemetery. I ran from my house and along 1700 E, over to and up Military Dr. and over to Sunnyside. I followed Sunnyside up to foothill, and followed foothill down to the cemetery. I did a loop inside it. While I was in the cemetery, I  found some visitors! This huge group of deer was standing next to the road I was running on, and they got scared and some ran away. the others just stared at me. I was really scared because one big one would not look away. Anyway, after that I followed 13th over to sunnyside again, went up to the street just above the tennis courts, over to 900 S. and up to Military Dr. and went home. It was a 6 1/2 mile run.

So, today was just a run. I was in the more advanced group, so Bill had to push me so I would keep up with the group, which was actually hard for me because they were going at a pace faster than I am used to. It seemed like speed to me. I was able to keep up with them for most of it, but then towards the end I started to lag behind. We started out with 2 laps around East. honestly, I am still trying to learn names of streets. I can't remember the street name that we went on, but I know we went past Westminister college. I was also paying more attention to keeping up with the group. When we got to the street sugarhouse park is, we turned down and went down for like what seemed like forever, really close to Liberty park. There were a lot of smells of food that made me hungry! then we turned on some street (sorry i don't know the name!) and went over to sunnyside??? and up the huge hill. by here i was falling behind. I had a hard time going up the hill. When we got back to East I was way behind. I did a lap around East and was done!

Today's workout just killed me. we did our core in the weight room. We did sit-ups, planks, arm swings, wall-sits, squats while holding weights, and lunges. the lunges fired up my I. T. band and for the rest of the workout I had a hard time. Then we did the actual run.
