Keep Calm and Run On

AM- Ran 8 miles on the trail. I could really feel the elevation- ok I should be used to it but I was hurting today.

PM- Ran another 5 before dinner prep.

AM- tempo run! Again- my goal was to run with the lead group of girls. We ran it at Jeremy Ranch. We started nice and slow and ran a 2 mile warm up before starting the 5 mile tempo. The tempo felt good- My legs felt awesome but I was breathing hard. The hills got me every time. Again, we had a great group. 7 of us finished in a perfect line with a time of 32:39 ( aroun 6:30 average) It felt a lot better to push with a group of girls. I was going to run more cooldown, but stomach was hurting so I just did 2 miles.

PM- 4 miles on the trail.

AM- I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. My hips are really sore and my legs so tired. We ran along this awesome dirt trail ending in Wanship. It was really pretty and we had a nice recovery. It has been really hard to get more than 8 each morning and I will have to double a lot this week.

PM After a nap, I ran another 4. Legs as dead as ever. And it was hot. I am really tired. But, the sophomore skit won skit night! Score.

AM: Last day of camp- Ran 8 miles on the same trail (shocker) I felt a little better this morning. I can't believe XC camp is already over and we start in with school and practices next week!  I am excited for the races I am doing and how our team is running together more. I am excited that it is finally cross season!

PM: Ran my usual 4 mile loop and added 1 more mile running laps at the East track

Last run in Salt Lake for a while. I ran up to the Red Butte drinking fountain, added some on the road to the chainlink fence then ran across to JCC and cut to 11th Ave and home Shriners way. I started later so it was hot and I was pretty tired again.

Usual Carterville long run. We really need to find a loop longer than 10.5 for our long runs now. I warmed up fine and felt pretty good. Another 75 down!
