You don't need to run every day to be a runner

Met at legacy and did mountain run extended. Went to lil' warner's house and had waffles afterwards. found out josh though I was a freshman during the summer, which was pretty funny. Will probably do more later.

Pretty rough day at practice. Part of my shoes was rubbing into my heel the whole time. It was only annoying during the warmup, but it hurt pretty badly the rest of the time. Anyway, the workout was 6x600m hills with a continuos recovery. Pretty brutal, and I didn't do very well. Did a core workout afterwards and courtney had us do a bunch of sprints, which I thought it was  too early in the season to be doing those, but whatever. We were being told to do them by a freaking world record holder, so i think she knows what she's doing. My knee hurt a little afterwards.

Definetily a run to remember. I went up into the foothills till i got to spencer's trail(my trail), did that till it deadended on a cliff, turned around and then decided to keep going up. and up. and up. I came to this one point right before a really steep part of the trail, and stopped to take a breather. Then, I felt that something(not someone), very powerful was watching me. A voice in my head(i'll try not to get religious but i am 110% sure it was the Holy Ghost), yelled, "RUN"! So I booked it down the trail for a few minutes, then looked up the mountain. I saw 3 COUGARS up close to where I was. After that I got freaked out so i just kept going down. Ran into Josh Barton a priest in my ward, at a point almost at the bottom. I feel like it I hadn't listened to the voice in my head i wouldn't have come down the mountain.

Did the mountain run. The past 2 days have taken more out of me than I thought. my legs were dead, and I couldn't push my pace much. But i'm okay with that, because i want to be fresh for tomorrow, the first interval workout of the track season! I couldn't go to strenght training because i had an orthodontist appointment at the same time.

I ran from my house to the school, which was 1.3 miles, and a 2 mile warmup after that. We did 4x1000 at mile pace, so I should have been hitting 3:07's, but i felt sick today. I was around 3:25-3:30 on all of them, so kind of a dissapointment. We had an active recovery, which ryan said we will do on every workout from now on. Good long cooldown afterwards. My legs aren't in track shape yet. I have an ACT prep workshop tomorrow from 10-4:30, which i am not excited for at all. I have stuff to do also in the morning, so I can't go to practice either :(

Ran hogs early in the morning(6:30), becuase i couldn't go to practice at the set time. It was pretty chilly out, and I didn't geel the greatest, but it was still super fun.
