Keep Calm and Run On

Today was a real improvement from last weekend. Saturday night I slept from midnight to 1 PM on Sunday only waking up once. I felt much better running this week. We ran cemetery and I finished with 10 averaging 7:24. It was the first run in a while I could open up and run a good pace. PM I ran 4 more at Liberty Park.

AM- I was late to practice so I got 10 strides in before the workout. We ran 400, 3x800 and 400 on the dirt loop. I ran with Sarah Sargent. We ran 82 for the 400's and the 800's were 2:53, 2:57, 2:55. It felt really weird running intervals again. My quads are still tight and sore but I can actually move them now. I ran 4 miles cool down. PM I ran 4 more after babysitting.

I ran to the zoo trail to meet the team (2.5 miles) We ran across shoreline to Red Butte and up to the fence. It is a lot shorter than I remembered. My legs don't feel like a ton a bricks like they usually do, but my body is just overall tired. And I am out of shape on hills. I ran 6 on the trail then added a mile. PM Tomy and I ran 6 more to Shriners and back.

I struggled to get up and going this morning. I could really use 12 hours of sleep every night. I ran to the East track and ran 10 continuous hill loops on the paved driveway back of the stadium. I ran to Sugarhouse and back to my house to finish.

I am with my family this weekend in Sundance so I got to run down Provo Canyon! My siblings and nieces and nephews rode bikes down the trail from Vivian Park to the gas station so I ran. It was later in the day so it was hot but not too bad. By the fountain, about 3 miles down, I saw a small dirt trail going up so I followed that and found a gravel road at the top that goes for quite a ways. I only ran a mile on it but am so happy I found a trail to run! I also biked 6 miles with my cousin.

Long run. I started a mile up South Fork and ran down the canyon, got on Carterville to the flag fence and ended at Will's. My mom bike with me the whole way. I averaged 7:21 and felt pretty good. My legs aren't dead but my body is just overall tired.
