Wasatch loop today, 7:45 average. I have been feeling low back and hip pain, I recognize it as SI joints being out of alignment. Unfortunately I always had Haley or Alesha help realign them while I was at SUU and being on my own I wasn't sure how to do that alone. I tried to imitate the things they did but I couldn't really do it properly on my own, so I resorted to YouTube today. Found a video and tried the stretch, felt a pop and legs feel the same length again so I think it worked! Thank you YouTube.

Took 15th to 2100 S and went up to Foothill then back home along 1300 S. No hip or back pain! At least until after my run.

Catching a cold, if it's what my sisters have then I'm in for a real treat. It explains why I've felt lethargic the past few days.

7:48 average. Haven't really been paying attention to my weight, haven't actually been trying to lose it (my diet consists mostly of bread, cheese, milk and cereal because I love them a bit too much) but found a scale today and I was curious! So I checked and I'm 2 pounds off of where I was before my mission, a bit of a shock! But I welcome it. Maybe if I actually tried to be healthy I'd be a lot lighter... but carbs are soooo good

Dike's then cut through the trails to the track house, then down to Main St and took 300 W to campus, then back to my apartment. I'm definitely feeling the elevation change, but it's good to be back in Cedar. 7:32 average

2 mile loop with Maddy (7:05 pace, phew) and then 4 more on my own, 7:26 average. Talked to coach briefly. The girls are meeting up for summer workouts starting on June 19 so I have some time to get back into the faster pace and increase my mileage, which is a relief because I am so not where I need to be. I'd say I'm out of shape but that's not really it, I'm just not in collegiate running shape if you know what I mean? Though I haven't exactly been trying to run faster, it just has sort of happened. Feels good though.

Started out with Hospital loop then cut over to Bicent. 7:40 average. Tried out my new shoes today! I've stuck with Nike Pegasus for years so I was really hesitant to switch over to Adidas, but I really like these shoes! Hayden recommended them to me (ran into him and Clinton in St. George) so I figured if he wore and liked them then they'd be a pretty good shoe to try.

Went into the training room to get a few things checked out, my foot has been bugging me for the past month but is more of a bother than any real injury. I've been running on it all the same. Well, the trainer (eeps I don't know her name...) wants me to cross train for the next seven days and take ibuprofen to get the inflammation out, then go back to running. Haha I was a rebel and ran today anyway but I should probably follow her advice... right now's the best time to cross train anyway. And if it gets rid of the pain once and for all it'll be worth it. She also realigned my SI joints, so that's a bonus.

Pool was closed and I don't have a bike anymore, I really didn't want to do stationary bike either. Decided to just go for a run. My foot pain really isn't anything major, and I figure if I've been able to run on it for a month without making things worse I should be fine. Plus I really need to adjust to elevation and build up some base mileage. I took Dike's all the way this time, 7:48 average.

Garmin was dead so I'm not sure if it was a full 6, but I'll run it again next week to make sure :) Cross Hollows today, breathing was hard and I felt out of shape. Probably just the elevation change.
