AM:

Easy 4 before school.

PM:

Ran to Sugarhouse and did 4 x 1 mile repeats from State hill to the Bathrooms along the course. I hit 6:15, 6:14, 6:07, and 6:20. Wish the last one I would have pushed harder. Going up Poker hill was the hardest part, I really had to focus there. The last one I wasn't as focused on that part and I think that's what made it slower. If these were on the track I'm sure they would have been sub 6 minute pace. Good workout though. Ran back to the track along 15th.

AM:

7.25 up to Foothill, along Foothill to Thunderbird, down to 19th, back to Sunnyside and down to the track. That's the most I've done before school on a normal day.

PM:

Well I forgot my lunch....yeah never doing that again. I was starving for the run. We went down to Liberty, 5 competitive hill strides, then fartlek, one minute on, one minute off 10 times. Back up to the track and added to get 16.5 for the day.

I ran to the track, then for practice we did Shriners run to City Creek, then to South Temple and back along 13th. Then did 2 progressive 300s, I hit 53, 52. First one felt surprisingly easy, I thought I was barely gonna be under 60. Second one was a bit harder, I think the wind picked up a bit. Plus I was tired. Finished to 12. 

AM:

Morning practice. VA loop then X strides on Rowland Halls turf, then 2 progressive 300s. I went 53, 52 again. Grass lap cool down.

PM:

Up to Sunnyside, 3 laps, back to the track and did a mile of speed changes, then two grass laps cool down.

2 miles warmup and strides.

Had a hard time getting myself to go fast for some reason. But I still got out fairly good. Going up the hill I passed a few people. The whole first mile was uphill which sort of sucked. By the mile I was starting to mentally crash because I didn't know how much more uphill there was and I wanted it to end. But I pushed through anyway, where Bill yelled out my split for the mile he said it was 6:23 but my garmin said 6:44 (we've established my garmins lazy so that's probably why). Second mile was 6:29 with rolly hills, last was 6:07 pace with downhill and a few ups. Was 10th with 300 left but just couldn't kick, 2 people passed me again in the last 50 meters. Ugg. Mixed feelings about it. Felt like I worked hard, maybe even harder than I did at Nebo. I got the same time I did last year! With the elevation change though I bet if it was run in Salt Lake I would have been under 19. I did 2 miles cool down.

AM:

15 on pipeline going first up the switchbacks to elbow, then to the overlook and back to the cars. My calves were really tight and I went pretty slow. One of the runs where it was harder for me just cause it was so long, probably because I was by myself for most of it.

PM:

3.5 miles around my neighborhood, squoze it in before Homecoming.
