I skipped morning practice because I had a really gross cough that wouldn't go away but when I woke up from a truly terrible night lol IT WAS SNOWING!!!!!!!!!! Plus it was a short day. The day was weird and hard but the workout was completely perfect oh man. It snowed during like half our workout and I wore a sweatshirt lol. We had 60/60s and we switched leading every 2 laps it was great. A total of 4 miles in the workout. Then weights after I can feel my body getting buffer.

AM- BEST DAY I CAN ALREADY FEEL IT TODAY IS GROUNDHOG DAY AND ALSO THE HUNDREDTH DAY OF SCHOOL we did a morning run and holt ran with us but it was so quiet cause no one would talk and we had like 5 girls there. Currently im in portuguese with my good friend dallen and we're talking about his good ol weekend and his love life<3 it's crazy cause me and Dallen have like 8/10 classes together which simplifies to 4/5 which is a great fraction

PM- wow yep this day was everything I even could've imagined. I went bowling during 8th period  which i hate bowling but it was fun. And chilled the rest of the school day. Then we drove to a trail run and me Brianna and Nick and Alex drove together and partied and told secrets lol. Good times. We did 45 min and it was kind of hard but good anyways. Yep, best day ever

Wow no one told me it was a tempo so I brought the totally wrong shoes, dangit. we warmed up and had the smallest group ever of like 6 people doing it with us. But we switched off leaders every 2 laps and it honestly felt really easy. I think I work better with less people but I've gotta get used to working better with more people. Anyway then we cooled down and did weights and my bench press is really struggling lately guys I'm telling ya.

Fine and dandy day, I've now been bowling 3 days in a row and I don't even like bowling. We just had 30 minutes after school with a very small group and I talk them the pine view beer song lol. Then we did yoga after and after that we decided to go get pizza and go to the girls basketball game. So I drove Caroline, Jacey, & Sylvia up the road to little Caesars and accidentally LOCKED MY KEYS IN MY CAR. At little Caesars!!!!! Also my phone was in there and so was everyone else's so we had to walk back to the high school and call my dad to bring the spare and also have Josie drive me back to my car. Ugh how embarrassing.

Sand hills my favorite workout ever!!!!!!!! We ran there which was like idk 20 minutes. Then did 5x1 min up hills. They were nice and quick and fun. Then we ran back and added to finish up our time. It was a nice workout.

I went to my cousins softball game in snow canyon so I just ran from there up to Ivins. And I passed where they filmed high school musical 2 which was sick cause I've never been there. It was the farthest I've ever been up that road. It was actually the longest run of my life. I was all by myself because the girls team ran during when I had work. I just ran up that road for hoursssss. But I finished it and had a great time and yeah. Good run

AM- easy 30 with the good ol girls and also holt halfway through.

PM- hahahaha it felt SO good today. Like everyone was like "ugh it's so hot blah" but I LOVE THE HEAT. I cannot wait for summer. It's gonna be 300x worse than that everyday and it's going to be great. Anyway, we did 60/60s again. They were solid, there was only 4 of us and we switched leaders. It was hard and my legs were completely dead from last week but it was good and tough. Then weights after but I mostly just iced my achillies because it's been acting up.

AM- I'm retiring the shoes I wore cause they hurt my achillies. it was just me jos and Ellie. And we barely talked except to discuss marrying dead people and the railing by where we run.

PM- 45 min on the trailz. Everyone was mad at me because I forgot my watch so i couldn't tell them the kilometers we ran. And I got to run behind Nathan bietler for a little on the way back.

AM- we scared the boys and they were so scared 

PM- tempo but my shins hurt so I stopped for a couple laps and stretched them then jumped back in. It was not good. My shins have never hurt and so that's frustrating. I've been stretching and rolling and icing like crazy tonight so they should be nice and fresh for tomorrow and Saturday.

We had dogtown today and I ran the 5k with my cute brother. We got 25 minutes so it wasn't a fast pace but it was his first one and he broke 25 and he was so happy and proud and it was cute. I still got first in my age group lol... Then after to finish my minutes I went and found the girls on the half marathon course and ran some miles with them. They were going way fast it was awesome. Oh also I warmed up 10 min before the 5k.

We went out to suicidal tendencies and ran our long run. I was only going to go 50 but I sucked it up and went the whole 60. It felt way nice and we actually went a good quick pace. Our numbers dwindled towards the end due to half marathon soreness.

AM- easy run

PM- 25 min tempo. We had a small group and only ended with me Jacey and meskerem. This was a huge step mentally for me because I was hurting so so bad and I told myself from the beginning that I was only going to go 20 min. It turned out to be super sick but on the cool down my hip hurt real bad and my achillies hurt real bad during the workout. Still a solid solid workout.

AM- it felt wonderful & was a bit rainy and just perfect weather. Achillies hurt a small amount

PM- 5x3min with equal recovery & 10 min warm/cool + weights. These were okay. Another big mental gain for me, I was only going to do 3 because of my achillies but it felt good so I kept going. I fell off a little on some of them but mostly stayed good. The last one I fell back like 75 meters from the pack and with 400 meters to go I got my crap together and caught up to Ellie by the end it felt so good, although I should stop talking about running altogether in my home because nothing good ever comes from it. Oh well. Good workout.

LONG RUN again. i had 70 minutes and I couldn't run with the team because of work so I didn't get out until like 2pm lol. I wanted to do foremaster but it's only a 6 mile loop so before I went through those neighborhoods I went up and around harts to get the extra miles (so that I wouldn't be tempted to just not do the last 10 min). When I was almost out of the neighborhoods I heard an ambulance go by on the main road and I was thinking about it and then all of a sudden I got out on the main road and the crash was right there, I was running right into it. I really did not know where to go so I kind of got in the road and ran around the ambulance and fire trucks, all it was though was like some guy fell off his motorcycle, so no blood. So then I ran up sunrise tires hill and started to go across foremaster which is like my favorite place cause I used to live up there and that was my favorite house ever. I seriously just forgot I was running for like 15 minutes and was just lost in my thoughts. It was bliss. Then I went back down foremaster and down the river trail and back up 2450. I got back to the high school and just kept running until 13 kilometers. Very very solid run, one of the best all year even though I was alone and running alone sucks. ( PLUS no achillies pain during the run although I did have quite a bit when I woke up and at work)

And happy birthday to my girl JC finch

AM- I pulled a Sylvia and didn't talk but it was nice. The degrees in the morning is perfect I love being able to wear shorts and a tshirt and that's it

PM- 6 minute test. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I improved by about 30ish meters which is what I wanted, but I wasn't with the pack or anything. Maybe I need to focus more on individual improvements so I can be happy with myself? I'm not sure. We cooled down to get to 50 min

AM- easy miles. Maybe too easy this morning but that never really happens so we just rolled with it.

PM- 3x800 hill repeats. These were solid and I felt a good push. We had loads of cool down we did some on the track. I won the freshman 5 contest thing so I got a signed pic of all of them, lol.

AM- Brianna had to do her 6 minute test so we timed her and ran half of it on the track. iT was so cold I had to go get my sweatshirt out of my car. 

PM- root beer mile, lol... Me and Brianna ran together and got like 21:something but technically we were disqualified at the first can of root beer. I seriously cannot drink it for the life of me. It's so gross.. So total I probably drank about 1-1&1/2 cans... Then we had the most bonding time at sandburgs on our run. There was this jacket that they got out of the water then when we were all standing admiring it a huge bug came out of the sleeve, everyone screamed and ran away lol it was freaky. One of the best times  team wise it was so fun!!!!!
