I ran with Neal after class today. I warmed up two slow miles before I met Neal just to get more mileage in. We then went out on University towards UVU for three miles, and came back. I then added 2.25 more on up to Neal's dorm and back. I felt really good today. The weather was nice, and the run felt really easy. My average pace for the whole run was 6:27. If you take off the first two slower miles, then the pace was 6:18. My total distance for the run was 10.25.

Today I did a workout with Neal. I did 400, 800, 1200, 1200, 800. My times were 63, 2:17, 3:35, 3:45, 2:14. I was having breathing trouble and had to run and get my inhaler, so I skipped the 1600. I was feeling pretty tired, I think I pushed it too hard on Monday. I was with Neal on the 400 and felt pretty good, but I had some trouble breathing. The 800 felt pretty good. I felt all right on the first 1200, but was really struggling on the second 1200. I was just going to do the first four hundred of the 800, but was feeling pretty good. I went out too fast, at 65-66, but still finished with a good time. Neal finished at 2:12.

I was planning on doing ten miles, but my shin was hurting a lot. I cut the run short to be safe. My average pace was 7:00 and it was very windy.

I ran with Neal tonight. We did 4.5 miles at a 6:30 pace. My shin felt fine when I started, but it hurt quite a lot when I finished. I just need to be careful and ice it. I think at this point I will run through it unless it becomes really bad, because I'll only be running for six more weeks anyway. After our run I did some strides and two 200s. My times were 29 and 28.

I was planning on running, but I was hurting too much. I went in the morning for a mile, but had to turn around. I didn't have time to run later because I had a funeral all day and then had to take a test.

This will be the short description. I might do more later. 

I put down my seed time as 4:05, and I got put in the fast heat. This was a mistake, and I was way behind. I was in last and came through at 63 and 2:08-2:09. This was too fast, and I wasn't able to finish strong. My last 400 was 72. I think I could have done better in the other heat going out in 66 and 2:12.
