Keep Calm and Run On

And a new record of running Carterville every run this week. Ran with Ashleigh and Dani.

Ran dirt trail with a group then we went to weights. And it was a core galore day, but a good workout.

Today was hard and painful because I was really sore. My core wasn't sore but my glutes were so tight I thought they would pop. I ran a 20 minute tempo and it hurt because my legs were so tired.

A.M. ran 6 on dirt trail before another core galore day in weights. I took a 10 minute ice bath. P.M. ran another 6 miles. My legs are so tired and I am still sore.

I don't feel sore today, just super tired. I ran Carterville with Laura.

Got to run in Salt Lake today! I took my roommates on the 6 miles death loop then I added another 2 miles. Still tired.

Ran Hobo Loop with Laura. I was tired and we decided not to go to weights.

Ran Carterville with Laura before going to weights. We had another full workout of core.

A.M. ran 6.5 on Provo River. P.M. ran Campus Loop with Rachel.

Today we ran 30 minute tempo. It felt horrible the first 10 minutes but once we turned onto Carterville Road I felt fine. We didn't go fast-average 7:22, so it was more like a good run.

Today was a great run. Laura did my long run with me and we ran extended extended over the bridge Carterville. We got going and didn't stop. Our average was 7:19 and it was the best we have felt in a long time.

A.M. Ran very early with Ashleigh and Laura and felt great. P.M. Ran another 4 with Laura.

Today was the first time in a LONG time my legs felt great. They didn't feel like dead weight, layered with bricks I am dragging along. Ash and I created a new run and it was awesome. I went to weights after.

Ran 6 with Laura and Dani before weights. P.M. ran another 4 with Ash.

Today's tempo was the complete opposite of last week. We started out hard and had to work hard to maintain. I had more miles and a longer tempo so I split from the group 15 minutes in to run extended extended over the bridge. I averaged 6:48 and was so tired by the end. My last 5 miles were quite slow and my legs so tired.

Last run in Provo for a couple weeks! After weights, we dunked in the training room ice bath. It was freezing.

Today I ran along Foothill to Parley's Trail and Tanner Park and home. It was a great run with some hills, which I have hardly done and need to work on. My quads felt like dead weights and are really tight from weights. I rolled out when I finished.

I ran past Shriner's along 11th Ave and came back the same way. I felt better than yesterday but definitely tired.

Met with East at Sugarhouse. We ran cemetery run then I ran 4 more later.

I have missed trail running! Today I ran Pipeline and it was so nice to be running on a trail.

Today we met at Sunnyside and ran down to the track. We ran strides on the field and then 10 hills. Later I ran another 4 miles. I have not run hills in so long my calves are going to kill tomorrow.

JCC trail- I was really tired. My calves were so tight and painful. I was really slow but got it done. Ran another 4 miles later.

Today was quite possibly one of the worst runs ever. I slept in so it was hot starting out. About 2 miles in, I stopped sweating and literally could not run a decent pace. I was pushing to run 8:30's. I was super dehydrated but finally got the miles over with.

Today was an amazing run. I went to Provo to run with Laura and Ashleigh. We started about 1 mile up from Vivian Park in Provo Canyon and ran all the way back to the fieldhouse. My right calf killed starting out but loosened up a couple miles in and I felt great. We averaged 7:02 and it didn't hurt until the last 3 miles coming back on Carterville.
