First speed workout of the season.......... Great. So Bill broke the team up into Boys and girls and sent the boys on a long warm up. So we went up to sunnyside and did a lap in there and came back, did a mile of speed changes. Then heard the workout. It was a timed mile, 2 800s, and 4 400s. With recovery of 800 for the mile, and 400 for the 800, then standing equal recovery for the 400s. My times were supposed to be 5:40 for the mile, 2:45 for the 800s and 79-80 on the 400s. So my times went like 6:33, 3:07, 3:05, 85, 81, 80, 79. So on each one I did get faster and I hit my times on the last three 400s but the workout sucked! I don't have the endurance for this workout but I am glad I stuck it out and finished, it was good to see where I am. Then I did a big grass lap and a track to get to seven for the day. I don't know why I didn't hit my times like close at all, maybe a little bit of fitness but most of it is mentally I bet.

AM: first AM workout of the year. We ran down to sugarhouse park, did 4 of the hills on the state course then ran back to the school and barely made it on time!!!!!!!!!!!

PM: One mile warm up, two miles of speed changes then a mile cooldown. 

Mile and a half warm up, then a few strides. Then we ran Pre-Regions. I did not push too hard. I picked up the pace on each mile just to see if I could. Then it was a outkicking battle between me and sam. Sam beat me by .02 of a second:(

Ran down to Liberty park, did a lap in the park with Caden, Nelson, Dylan, Andy, Nate and Sam. We saw Susannah at the park:) Then we ran up 1300 south and back to the track. Then off to the U GAME!!!!!!

Today Emily was the coach again. So we ran up to Sunnyside park, did a lap in the park. Then the workout was 6 800s. I started out with Abigail but that was not on pace for me so I picked it up and got a 2:44. Then I took a 400 recovery. On the second one I got a 2:41 because I started out faster and stuck with Caden and Faysal longer, then took a 400 recovery. Then I went out again with Caden and Faysal and stayed with them the whole time and we got a 2:45. Then a 400 recovery. I sat the next one out and stretched out a bit. Then on my fourth one I got a 2:36 and I stayed with Caden and Faysal the whole time. Took a 400 recovery, ran the rest of the lap around the park with Garek, and then with Sarah S! and Caden I did 2 grass laps cooldown was was done for the day.

Went out to Cottonwood Complex with my dad. I did the first mile of the regions course as a warm up, then I did 1.5 miles worth of hills through out the course, bessie, miranda, and the roller coaster. Then I did the last two miles cooldown on the regions course. Then I went for the last 2.1 on 1300 east.
