Sock tans

Ran to East and met Bill, Angie, Jaden, Hannah and Clara. We ran to Liberty and ran laps on the sidewalk. First couple of miles were pretty slow but we picked it up to 7:35-7:45 for the last 6ish miles. Total average was 7:58. My ankles must've been so numb cause I didn't really feel the cuts I got, I think from rubbing on the back of my shoes (I just switched to a new pair). The heels of my shoes are now completely red and I destroyed my socks.

Thought the group was going out to the oval, I didn't have time so I ran on my own. Turns out they didn't end up going but it's whatevs. I ran to sugarhouse, did a lap, then did cemetery run, another lap in sugarhouse, and back home. 8:02 average. I had switched shoes to give my heels time to heal, but they aggravated my ankle.

Met Bill, Garek, Angie, Jaden, and Joey at East and did Shriner's run to Memory Grove and came back up South Temple. I like this run a lot, although if you're tired coming up South Temple can be rough just cause it's a long, gradual hill. But today I felt pretty good so it wasn't hard until the last .25 and up the small hill on 1300 E was a little hard for me as well, but after that it's flat and maybe slightly downhill so I was fine. I'm surprised how easy a lot of the runs I used to think were hard are. I remember I would die up South Temple and today we had picked it up a little at that part. Then Bill told Garek to take off and thats when I realized we had picked up the pace. I guess I'm just used to pushing to keep up with the group. It was a good run, my Garmin died tho so idk what the average was but I'm guessing 7:35?

Met the group at East and we ran down to Liberty and went the long way to the fountain on the sidewalk. Then changed shoes and went to the mile mark, or close to it cause the snow was covering the line. We ended up guessing where it was based on another mark on the other side of the sidewalk. So the distance could be a little off, but it's pretty close to 2 miles. We did 3 x 2 mile tempos, aiming for 12:30-13:00. I wasn't expecting 3, but ah well adding another wasn't that bad. It's good to know where I'm at. My times were 12:26 (6:09, 6:17), 12:58 (6:19, 6:39), 13:12 (didn't get my mile split this time around, 6:36 average). On the first I felt pretty good. I had debated going with Angie when she started to move but decided to tuck behind Bill and feel the pace. I fell off of Bill and Angie right after the mile on the second one, I just lost focus and then tried to pick it up again but found myself just maintaining the distance between us. The third I just kind of ran it which I know is bad. I should've tried harder to stay with Bill and Angie but I just kind of let them go. Meh. We did a half mile recovery in between each.

Ran up to Wasatch and took it to Thunderbird then turned around and ran back along Wasatch to the zoo. Then ran down Sunnyside to the second crosswalk and back home. I'm thinking I'll run a few more miles after I'm done babysitting.

My legs were dead today. Idk what it was but 6 miles in I was already struggling. I know I'm short on miles, if I have time later I will finish. I just was short on time cause I had to go to work.
