Two miles inbetween all of the family drama.

This morning I woke up early to go running. Usual mile warm up 3x800 with 800 recovery. Then I did a mile cooldown. Then because of all of the drama I decided to do 2 more miles on the elliptical because I can not stand all of this family drama we are having!!!

Early this afternoon I went on a run with Sarah!. She ran down to my house, we went up on 1900 east to 8th south, stretched, then we went up to foothill and did a big foothill lap over to the VA hospital, down to Guardsman avenue onto sunnyside, got water at the drinking fountain and then back home on 1900 east, we stopped at the sprinklers though cause it was really hot! Good run though!! 

This afternoon I met up with Larry and later Tim and Andrea. So I did a mile warm up running to sugarhouse park then I did a mile of J's then stretched waiting for my sister to get there with my water bottle and my spikes. I changed my shoes then I did a lap of regular speed changes to warm up again then I jogged over to the 200 and did a 200 in 40 seconds to feel the times I would be running. So I did it in 39.94 so really close! Then the workout was 8 400s in 77-80. My first two I felt great and I hit 77, my recovery for all of them was 100 seconds. Then the third one was 77 also but I could then start feeling it in my legs. The fourth one I got 80 and from this point on it was really hurting. But Tim and Andre finally got there so I had Tim to pace me on the last 4. He was going 75-77 so I just needed to stay just a bit behind Tim. The fifth one was 79 which was better and also the sixth one was 79. Then the final two were the hardest! I got 82 and 81! I usually hit my times but today was a hard workout and I was close! I felt good about this workout. Then I did 4 barefoot strides on the grass then a two mile cooldown with Tim and Andrea around the park.

This morning I got up really super duper early!!! I ran a mile warm up then 4 800s with equal recovery. I was really sore from last night but I got it done and I was done with my workout by 6:40 in the morning!!!! Then I went back to bed:)

Later that night I did a mile warm up, mile of J's then a 400 stride to warm up the legs, I did it in 68 then a lap around the park as a cooldown.

No running, I was at Camp Tuttle.

I did a mile warm up right when I got home from Camp Tuttle because I had Mrs. Weidauers wedding to get to. So I warmed up a mile running down to Sugarhouse park, then I went straight into the hills. I did 10 hills, one really long, two 25 meters shorter, 3 25 meters shorter than that then 4 that were 25 meters shorter than that one. I did equal recovery. I finished and had to just do over a half mile cooldown....... WEDDING!!!

This morning I slept in, when I woke up I went on the treadmill and did three miles. When it rains later I will go finish out my mileage.

PM: Since it never rained! My dad drove me to Cottonwood Complex to run the regions course because I had not done that all summer. I ran it in 21:16 and I was just jogging around.
