Got my SUU packet this weekend, it's weird to think that in less than 2 months I'm gonna be on my own. I'm super happy I have been able to run with Angie cause she's literally the only person I know going to SUU that I'm close with, there are a few girls I met at track meets of course! But all my friends are going to BYU, U of U and BYU-Idaho or on missions. Gotta enjoy this summer while it lasts.
For the run today I thought I'd go with the earlier group so I could get more mileage. I need to jump back up. I always feel better on higher mileage so if I can get myself back into the 65-70 mile range and maybe above I know I'll be more confident and be in better shape. In the packet coach said he wants us to work on building base and the workouts he listed are very similar to the workouts we do with Bill. I was a little worried at first about the workouts with East conflicting with the ones coach Houle wants us to do, but it seems like that won't be a problem.
Today we met at Sugarhouse and did a 5 mile loop with Natalie, Jaden, Bill, and Angie. Idk why but it just felt hard. It was 7:45 average (first mile was slow) so really not that fast. Maybe I just got used to the slower paced runs. Or maybe it's more that through the craziness of this month I have forgotten quite often to take my vitamins and iron. I'm trying to get myself back into the habit. Oddly my breathing was fine through this. Then when we got back to Sugarhouse everyone else joined us and we ran to Tanner Park and back, then added to 11. That part was slower, I was getting fatigued and I got the same I-cant-breathe-deep-enough feeling. Frustrates me, but I'm also encouraged because I know that it will go away eventually and by the time I'm in Cedar Ciy I'll be in better shape than I was even during track this year.
