Today I just felt awful, I kinda picked a bad time to run and I'm sick, my throat was burning the whole time. I also felt really short of breath.

Wasatch loop. Felt really good. I couldn't make it to the run after school because I had to go to graphics for extra credit and I had a staff meeting for the summer camp at 4. Can't wait for summer, for the Cross Country morning runs and I'll finally have some money :) I went later when it was cooler and it felt so much better than running in the heat, like yesterday. I actually felt like I went pretty fast, probably the best run I've had in a while :) when I was coming down wasatch for about a minute every time I step I had sharp pain in my knee, went a bit slower at that part, but it went away quickly. Rolled out my IT band and did my core.

Today we drove up to 11th and went from the second drinking fountain to city creek, then went up the road past the gate, then turned around and I stopped at 6.25 with Jakob and Nate cause I didn't feel good.

Ran up to the track, then went up to foothill to the fountain on foothill, out on the trail to 4 and back a slightly different way. Felt a lot better than yesterday.

I started out feeling not so great, my calves and quads were hurting. But after about a mile and a half I felt better, I'm starting to feel stronger. The hills don't hurt so bad. We went up to foothill and took adventure run to red butte and then over to JCC through the parking lot. When we got to a building Bill said to go around back, turns out there were a ton of stairs and it didn't quite go through, well I don't like heights very much so I took a slightly different route to avoid the drop onto the stairs, I should've gone where Bill went cause I ended up having to go up more stairs. Oh well. That put me back a little ways, but I caught up. When we got to JCC we went to Popperton and took Shriners run. They turned off the fountain! Not cool. When we got to the bottom of the hill Garek took off and I felt good so I thought why not? I picked it up and was ahead of Bill, Jakob, Nate, and Chris and didn't feel like I was dying, just going at a good pace. I think the difference was that I didn't think of the run as a whole, just what I was doing right then, like when we got to hills I focused on getting my knees up, and going downhill focused on leaning forward, or whatever I felt was  necessary. We did a lap at sunnyside and added to get to 8. It was a pretty good run.

Good run today. I went with Bill and Garek up to pipeline. I ran a mile with Garek first, it was 7:18. Then Bill picked us up and we drove up the canyon. We went to the gulch and back, Garek said I was around 54 minutes so it would have put me around a 7:20 average pace, which I'm pretty happy with, I haven't gone that fast for that long in a long time. Then I ran up to the bathroom but missed it because I had a blond moment, I was looking for it on the left side but it was on the right :) Glad to be having good workouts again.
