Today was a busy day for me, so I had to run in the heat. Yay. I ran up to 19th then to 21st and down to sugarhouse, then did the cemetery run, but didn't do a lap in the cemetery because I decided it was too hot. I got a drink and started again, then cut across sugarhouse and went back along 15th to my house. Right when I got back my dad came home and gave me my new shoes :) So tomorrow I will finally run in a new pair.

Just guessing how far we ran since I don't really know. I'm hoping my garmin will come soon so that I will actually know how far we run. We went to sugarhouse via 15th and did the white tree loops 10 continuous times, then went around sugarhouse and back. Today was not a good day for me, everything about it just seemed wrong. I had a huge sideache going there and when we stopped I tried to blow it out like Bill taught me forever ago, I think it worked. On the hills I was doing good the first few but then crashed, and then felt like I couldn't breathe, I was breathing really fast. On the cool down I just took it a little easier because of it.

Today Pre-Region was canceled, so we went on the bus to murray to review the course. We did the course as a warmup, and then we did strides. After that we did 20 minutes of fartlek, 1 on 1 off 10 times. Then we ran to the bus.

Today was the Murray invitational. I didn't do as well as I wanted to. I had a hard time getting myself to push. I never have done very well with Cross Country, last year being injured and all, and I wasn't good my Freshman year, but I still have high hopes for this season. I was just disappointed with how I raced and my time and pretty much everything about it.

i ran with the rookie girls for about a half mile to the bathrooms, then talked to some of the U girls after they finished their races, or at least the ones I knew :) they're nice

So we restarted, which was good because the second time I got out better. I feel like I treated the start of this race like the start of a 1600, I felt like I was going fast then when the group naturally slowed down it felt slower than it should've been but then I reminded myself this was a 5k not a 1600m run. I did well the first mile, didn't catch my time because my watch didn't start (I got a new garmin and am still figuring things out about it) but it felt fast. Then going up snake it came faster than I expected and it was hard for me to work up, then I was tired for the soccer field and had a hard time getting myself to race after that. The people started passing and everything went downhill. I tried to match people but it was hard. With 800 left I knew I needed to pick it up but couldn't get myself to. It was a crappy race, but I guess I'll just have to learn from it and move on. I find I've been beating myself up lately, I haven't felt the joy running has given me in the past for a while now. I think having a good race and doing well in workouts might help, but that means I'll have to start working harder. It's been a rough start to my season.

AM:

On the way to laird to meet up with the girls for a run I tripped on a rock somehow and now my knees and hands are stinging. Only Eleanor and the Randalls showed up, so we did a 3 mile loop then I added with Eleanor back to 9th and she had to go home, so I ran a little longer then went home to get a drink, then decided to do my longer run later tonight because it was getting hot.

PM:

Well, running later was both good and bad. First off, it was a lot cooler and almost the perfect temperature. However, it was raining. Oh well. I ran up to foothill over to thunderbird and then went along wasatch over by the zoo. By now the wind had picked up. Then I turned right on foothill and took it to guardsman where I started the Shriners run. I stopped at the drinking fountain and got a quick drink, then went down the street that goes right by Shriners hospital down. It turned into some University street right above 13th and I took it all the way to the tracks by the U where it ended on 5th south so I went up to guardsman and took Military home. Added to 12.25, l averaged 8:27 with my fastest mile being 7:12 which seems alright to me because of the wind, rain and hills.
