You've got to want it to win it

I ran from my house to 1700s and back twice so 2 miles.

Speed workout tonight at the oval.  I started with a mile and a half warmup, and then a mile speedchanges with a lap cooldown.  Then I did another lap after resting for a few minutes while waiting for a group to do speed with.  I did three 400s, with times of 1:20, 1:21, and 1:20, with a lap recovery each.  Then I did eight 200s, and I hit 42, 41, 41, 41, 40, 40, 39, 39.  200 recovery for each, and I got a lap in going to the start and my last recovery.  I then did a 3 lap cooldown.

I ran from my house to Sunnyside Park and did a lap around and came back.  I wanted to do 2 laps but it was getting cold and I didn't want to get sick.  My knee was hurting at first but it warmed up ok, but my hip was hurting a bit more as I went.

We stopped during the bus ride at some trails in Saint George and we all went for a run.  I ran 2 miles with Kelsie.

I was really nervous before my race but I was a bit better when I finally got started on my warmup.  I did a 2 mile warmup and then changed to my flats and did some strides.  I think I might have started out a little dehydrated.  When the race started I was at the very back of the single pack.  I didn't worry about it though because that was right at the start.  For the first mile there was a huge pack.  My first mile was about a 5:55.  Then there were some big uphills.  I was able to greatly use this to my advantage, passing quite a few people.  I wasn't as great on the downhills though, but I passed more on the uphill than I was passed on downhills.  At my second mile the time was 12:35.  After the second big hill I think all of my strength was about used up.  It was really hot and there wasn't any shade.  With each step I felt the burning ground on my feet.  I was glad to be done with the hills and be heading into the stadium to finish.  I outkicked 2 people I think.  I was the 9th sophomore in the seeded race.

I ran from my house to 1500e and down Sunnyside to 1300e and back home.  It was snowing and it was fun.

I got up early and went for a run.

The hotel treadmills only go up to 4 so I used an eliptical trainer instead.  Then I did arm swings for a minute with weights and then without, and the abs circuit.

I did 5 minutes of eliptical and 10 biking. 

I did a slow 10 minute warmup.  Then I changed to my spikes and did some strides.  When the race started I was near the back of the pack, but I worked my way up towards the front during the race.  I liked the course and had a good time.

I ran from my house to Sugarhouse and did 2 laps on the outside and came back.  It wasn't too cold, and running on the sidewalk and roads wasn't so bad.  But going through the snow around the park was kind of hard.

I started with a mile warmup and then I went the opposite way for a mile of speedchanges.  Then I changed to my flats and did another lap.  I did 8 x 2 minute fartlek.  Got in 15 laps.  Then I changed my shoes back and did a mile cooldown.  My calves are a bit sore, probably from my low mileage last week, but other than that I feel great.

I ran 6 miles on a treadmill at Steiner.  That is the most I have ever run on a treadmill, and very boring.  I listened to music but it was still long.  I want to run indoors when its cold outside because I don't want to get a cold.

I ran 6 miles on a treadmill again.  I listened to music again.  After 4 miles I got bored of the treadmill I was on, looking through windows at the ice rink, so I switched to one facing the other way with a fan next to it.

I ran on  treadmill at Steiner today.  I made it a mile and a half, but my stomach was hurting... I ate too many chocolate pretzels.  But later I went babysitting (5 kids) and we played tag, got a lot of running in there.

I ran outside today.  I was planning on running 4.5 miles but it was starting to snow and windy.  But I'm glad to have not done treadmill.

Speedworkout  the oval tonight.  I started with a mile warmup then a mile of speed changes with a lap recovery.  Then I did fartlek workout, with 1 minute on (equal recoveries) then 2 then 3, then 3,2,1.  That took 11 laps and then I did a 2 lap cooldown.

I did 2 miles on the treadmill.  I was planning on doing 4 but I got bored.  Then I did arms with weights 3 sets of 1 min. on and 1 min. off.

I ran a mile on the treadmill at my house.  It was really late and Steiner had already closed.  I also did some arms stuff and abs circuit.

I got new running clothes for Christmas and wanted to wear them (outside, they are for winter).  I ran from my house to Sunnysude and up to Foothill and around down 5th s.  The snow on the sidewalk was knee deep there so I ran in the road for that part, but the lanes are pretty wide so I stuck as close to the side as I could.  I did more arms stuff and the abs circuit.

I started with a mile on the treadmill at my house.  I was trying to watch a movie but after a mile I got bored and decided to run outside.  I ran from my house to 9th s and down to 9th e and over to 2100s and up to 13th to go home.
