Ran at Sugarhouse Park with my team and we did our usual. I ran with Abigail the whole time while talking. Our final time was 51 minutes. I am proud to also announce that for the first time ever i was able to run the full course without getting lost. It felt like a great achievement. 

Ran up to the top of Emigration Canyon from Sunnyside Park and back. At first, i thought that it was going to be a difficult run and that i was going to be last but it wasn't hard and i was not last. I was however, the last one to reach the top of the canyon. In the begining, i was running with Abigail and Natalie, Bill and Dakota were up ahead along with Taylor and Ben. Amanda was behind along with the rest of the team. This was the case until we reached the mouth of the canyon. People started dying out since it was a constant uphill run to the top. I eventually caught up to Dakota and passed him. Abigail soon did too and in no time we were running together again. Then i guess i started running faster because i caught up to Amanda who had passed me before entering the canyon. Abigail soon caught up again. We all ran together for maybe ten minutes and then i guess i started running even faster because by the following time i had turned around to see where they were, they had to have been at least 1/4 of a mile back. Then i found Emily and i had asked her where the cafe was and she told me i had already passed it and to keep going until the top guys ran past us. So, i kept going and going and going. When i saw taylor, i asked him how much further and he had told me about 1/2 a mile. So i decided to run it. I was close to the end, i didn't want to quit then- it would have been senseless to quit then! Not long after, i saw Bill and Natalie. Bill told me to keep going about 1/4 of a mile more and then turn around so i did. Once i turned around, i just ran back down the canyon almost non stop. When i saw Emily at the bottom, she offered me water and i took some. I then continued running back to Sunnyside Park and then found Amanda's sister at the mouth of the canyon. I passed her and kept going. When i reached foothill, i found Raydgeen and Riley waiting for the light to turn. I ran with them for a little bit but then picked up my pace once again and reached the park. My final time for the entire run was 1:32.53.

Best run ever. =) 

Ran eight miles this morning on a treadmill early in the morning before departing for San Fransisco, California. I ran it in just under an hour.

Ran six miles on a treadmill in San Fransisco, California. At first, i was ok but about two miles in my left ankle began to kill me. I ended up pausing my run to stretch for roughly five minutes until it was completely stretched out and painless. After doing that i was able to complete my run.  

It is now day three of running on treadmills and i am begining to hate them. I feel like a hamster. This morning i went on my run for 3.00 miles and then went swimming. Later in the afternoon i went on my second half of my run to complete my six miles. The only reason that my run was split into two, was because i was told wrong-but that's ok. As long as i get my full mileage done, I don't care how it's done.
