AM: Woke up in the morning and since we didn't have school today, I decided to go for a shakeout run after Simplot. I jogged over to Sugarhouse Park and did a lap around the park alternating the light posts of one on one off. Then I just jogged home for a cooldown. I stretched and did my core after.

PM: Tonight I went over to Sugarhouse park again for a workout with Larry. I did a lap warm up then a lap of 2x1 of lightposts. Then the real workout started. I didn't notice how out of shape I was until this workout. I did the 600 uphill thingy again but I had to go faster. I started out good, my first 400 was a 61 which is a PR but then I hit the hill and about halfway up the hill I had to stop and puke and barely could jog back to the finish line for the last 200 meters, I did my time for that one in 2:26. Larry was happy because it was my first time I had puked in a workout:) So then since my time had sucked really really really bad, he had me do it again. I jogged back to the start and I went out again. Again my first 400 was a 61 but then I hit the hill and almost had to stop and puke, I was able to hold it in and never did puke but I was coughing everywhere and could barely jog that last 200. My time for this one was 2:20 which is a bit faster but still really really really sucks. Then for a cooldown, I just jogged back to my car and called it a day. I figured out what made me puke though; it was the root beer that I had been drinking all day; until 5:30 when I met up with Larry at 6:)
