8 miles today. I warmed up a mile to school and met Gemachu. We  went sorta hard for three miles on Wasatch, then turned around. On the way back, I pushed it harder and lost Gemachu. I finished up about 38:30. About 6:25 pace for six miles. It felt okay, but it should of felt easier.

I didn't get a run in today. I was going to run after my senior awards banquet, but it went way longer than expected! Oh well, a little more rest won't hurt me.

I went on a pretty easy run. It was about 7:00 pace. It felt pretty good.

I didn't run a lot today. In the morning, me and some others helped run with kids in a fun run. I got in about 4 miles at an 8:00 pace. It was easy. 

After school I ran a little bit, not much.

Today was harder that I planned on. I went on a long run with Gemachu. We started out with a 8:30 just to warm up. The next several miles were 6:50, 6:38, 6:43, 6:56, and 7:07. Those were pretty easy, and Gemachu was right behind me. Then on the seventh mile, I picked it up. We ran 6:16, and then on the next mile Gemachu got with me. I stayed ahead, and we ran a 6:07. The next mile was a 6:07, and Gemachu pushed hard on that one. I stayed with him, and it felt pretty hard. On the last .75 Gemachu really pushed it, and I was a few seconds behind him but I got stuck at a stoplight before I could catch him. The last .75 was at 5:19 pace. It felt good, but I was hurting the last couple miles. It was faster than I had planned on pushing, but it wasn't too bad. That's the longest I have run for a while, but it didn't feel too long.
