Ran for the first time in five days today. I was busy with finals last week, and then I developed a cold. I was in Boston today with my family, my parents were running Boston today. My sister and I did four miles, probably 7:30 pace or a little slower. It was easy, but I can tell I'm still not completely over my cold. We then went and watched the finish of the Boston Marathon, and it was pretty excited, but really crowded.

I ran on the treadmill in Boston today. It was raining outside. I did my first two miles in 15 minutes, my second two in 12 minutes. My miles were 7:45, 7:15, 6:30, 5:30. I just kept increasing the speed. I realized that the treadmill went up to fourteen miles per hour, so I finished with a 64 second last lap. It felt good.

I didn't have time to run today, I moved out from BYU, went to the temple, and lots of other stuff. I was gone all day.

I did six miles today with Ben and Shalaya. Our average pace was 6:45. I pushed it with Ben the last ten minutes, and that was under six minute pace. I sprinted in the last 400 and felt really strong.

I didn't run again today. I was sorta lazy. My hamstring and ankle were sore, but I just didn't get out today.
