My aspirations of running while in the field did not work out,.... But camping for 12 days really does exhaust someone. I got home late last night. This morning, I slept in and went for my run. I ran from my house, up to highland drive, over to 45th south, down to 1300 east and back home. Felt great to be running again. Did my core when I got home.

Happy Birthday, Mom! Today I ran up to the Lions Club Rec Center, which is about a mile. Then I ran 2 miles on the treadmill. Did leg weights, arm weights, and my core at the rec center, then ran home. I felt very tired and my legs were very heavy. But I am noticing my fitness is slowly coming back.

It is time I start doing morning workouts because it was HOT. I did the usual 3 mile loop. Stopped at the horse park for my drills. Luckily the sprinklers were on so I was sprayed and it felt absolutely amazing. Came home and made pizza for breakfast, but I burned my hand on the oven..... Ugh. Will do my core and weights tonight with Austin.  

This afternoon I did a mile warm up, then I did 2 hours worth of weights. Then I cooled down for a mile.

Ran from my house over to 4500 south, down to 1100 east, over to Cottonwood complex. This put me at 1.5 miles. I stretched for a couple minutes which felt amazing. Then I did the first mile and a half of the regions course which was WAAAAAY hot. Ran home after. Did my core. Felt amazing today. The only problem was the heat. Morning runs start tomorrow.

Got up this morning and drove to the East High track. I ran the shriners run that we would run in high school. It was fun to run this again. I love this run. I really turned up the gears on the way back. Stopped and stretched at the drinking fountain. Came home and drank a protein shake. I lov running. Now to go study for the GRE. Graduate school here I come.

Woke up this morning and did my usual 3 mile loop by my house. Did my core when I got home. Will run more this afternoon.

PM: Met up with Levi and Danny. Ran an outside lap around SHP then an inside lap. The heat really takes it out of you. Felt good after. I wasnt tired during the run from the run, just from the heat.

Today was my first track workout in a year and a half... and OH MAN DID IT SHOW! I met up with Levi and Danny and did  laps warm up then  laps of J's. We stretched, drenched our heads because it was 100 degrees today and started the workout. We did 5x300 then an 800. Since I hadnt been on the track, or done speed in a long time, I was going for 80's. We did continuous 300's where we jogged the 100 as recovery. Times went like 60, 59, 59, 57, 60, 60. We all took turns leading. Then the 800 I went 2:41. Levi and Danny destroyed me on that. I was so exhausted. Then we did a mile and a quarter as cooldown. Did my core when I got home. I feel amazing right now.

Met at SHP and did the state cross country course. The workout was 5 miles with 4x1 minute strides whenever you felt like it. I did the course and did my strides up all of the hills on the course to get a little hill work in also. After that, I added a half mile waiting for Larry, Levi, and Danny. When they showed up I did an inside lap in the park with them. Feel really good. Came home and did my core.

Met up with Levi this morning at Murray Park. We did an extended Murray Invitational course. It was awesome. A little tight when we started but I loosened up quickly. I will try to do more miles today but it is my birthday so I am not sure if I will have time. Will do my core later in the day.
