Yesterday I planned on running the New Years run but then we had people at my house and we went and saw the lights at Temple Square so my mom wouldn't let me. So Today I just ran on the treadmill because we had family at my house again.. I am going to need to do 2 a days for the rest of the week to get the mileage.

This morning I ran on the treadmill for 36 minutes. The treadmill didn't do distance it just did time so I ran for a little longer than I normally would for 4 miles to make sure I got the mileage. My heel has been hurting since Christmas... It is incredibly weird! I will run again tonight.

PM: I ran down to SHP but right when I got to the park I had to go potty really really bad so I ran back up to Dunkin Donuts. I ran back down to the park to meet up with Larry but he didn't come. I got about 1.5 miles warm up. Then I did 4 strides. 12 strides around the park then ran the rest of the park as a cooldown. Then I ran around the park 1.5 more times to get to 6 miles. A fun and SCARY RUN! I saw an ALIEN!!!! JK It was just immature High School kids with intense laser pointers that they were on top of the hill pointing the laser pointer at me. 7:14 Average.

6 miles on the treadmill at a pretty good pace.

5 on the treadmill. I am so upset with myself. I had 2 miles to go until 40 miles for the week but I decided to go sledding instead. That means next week I will have to hit 42 to even out. Treadmill SWAGGGG!

Today is the last day of winter break:( Spring semester starts tomorrow! ahhh!!! But I ran the shriners run from the East track. I started at about 5 and really wanted to get done before it was dark. averaged 8:15ish going out to Shriners then I brought the average pace down to 7:52. My fastest run since I took that time off!:) I am coming back! Three good things came out of this run: 1) I finished before it was dark.... I averaged sub 7 minute pace coming back, 2) The drinking fountain was on! 3) It made me excited for the spring semester! As I was running through campus I saw a ton of people who had moved into the dorms today or yesterday just walking through campus, having fun, finding classes, making college look like fun! 7:52 average.

We did a 400 warm up then P90X.. It was a different experience:)

I walked outside and slipped and said NOPE. Not running outside so I hit the treadmill, elliptical and Bike then did calf raises. I finished my homeowrk then caught up on How I Met Your Mother.

This afternoon in the fog I got my run it. It was incredibly sketchy! I just did laps in Sugarhouse park slipping and sliding my way through. Average 8:55 because of the snow....

I didn't get a run in today because when I got home I did my homework then I had to plan my classes and all of the necessities for Medical School. When I looked at the clock it was 10:00 PM! Medical School is going to take A TON of time!

5 miles right after I ate Panda... Not a good idea! The whole run I thought I hated running, I am so slow, so fat, I should just quit. Hopefully tomorrow is better!

This run felt a LOT better than last night! I was inspired to listen to Let It Go from Frozen from Emily and it really does get you pumped! When I saw that movie (1 of 3 times I have seen it) I absolutely loved it! This song really got me pumped while running on the treadmill at the fieldhouse. I did 6 in the early afternoon. Then before I went and hung out with Giulia, I did a few more miles to finish on even mileage.

My endurance and fitness is coming back! I went over to the Fieldhouse before I read for History and do my Medical School stuff. I ran 5 on the treadmill while wathcing Blades of Glory on the TV. I love that movie! I felt totally fine for the first 4 miles, like I hadn't been running. Sure I started at 7MPH so about 8:30 pace but then I finished at 7:40 miles for the last 2. My speed and endurance are coming back!

No running today. P90X

Man I am stiff from the pliometrics in P90X yesterday.... I did a half mile warm up at Sugarhouse, then 3 strides. Then I did 4 strides going around the park then came back the 4 light poles. Then I ran around the park once doing 2x1 lightpoles. Did another lap alone then ran another lap and a half with Larry. I have so much homework tonight and tomorrow! AHH!

8 miles around sugarhouse park. Threw in some speed changes. Nice run! I am starting to feel like a runner again!

I am starting to get a sore throat, I hope I am not getting sick! I did a lap around sugarhouse, then 4 light poles hard 2 easy 4 times so basically 4 400s. I felt great on those! Then I did another lap of 1 on 1 off around the park and cooled down till 8 miles

No running because I am going to panic at the disco!

Well I was right, I got sick. Woke up with a fever, sore throat, caught and runny nose. No running today:(

Boring run in the afternoon while taking a break from homework. I need to get up earlier! This sleeping in and watching Grey's anatomy is really starting to make me late for things!

5 miles slow on the treadmill because I still have the sore throat, cough and runny nose and I can't run outside because of the air. I can barely breathe as it is. This sucks!

Same run as yesterday but I felt worse!

Hit the treadmill this afternoon after class. Ran for two miles, stretched. I ran a couple miles then stretched because I have no endurance anymore! I hate being sick! I managed to get the last mile and a half down to 7:30 so i averaged just under 8 minute pace.

No running today because I have A TON of homework! I guess all of my professors decided to make all of my homework due at midnight on Thursday nights! Then I had a 3 hour peer court training that I had to go to! As it is I finished my homework after 9 when I got home from class at 2. Homework sucks!

Tonight after buying my new xbox because the old one finally broke:( I went to DI to get some old movies from my childhood and they had Pokemon! So I watched Pokemon while on the treadmill! It was awesome!

Went to the field house and ran on the treadmill. Nothing to eventful. Started at 7MPh and increased the pace every half mile.

Hit up the treadmill this afternoon. Fun and exciting.....

AM: in P90X we did a mile, well actually we ran 3 laps around the gym after every interval and we did that 5 times.

PM: Mile warm up, then mile of speedchanges around the park. Then ran a lap of 2x1 lightpoles then cooled down until 9 miles. I was exhausted. I am not sure why I am slacking off this week, I havn't been studying just doing my normal homeowrk.... WEIRD. I know this week I will be studying a lot because I have 2 midterms next week and one the following week. yay for college.
