I went to Sugarhouse, did a road lap, then went up to 17th and did the cemetery run. Instead of going back along 15th the way I came I went back along 17th. Added to get to 11. It's so nice outside, T-shirt and shorts weather! Although I'm not a fan of the wind, that made my run less enjoyable and probably a lot slower. But oh well, it was nice to go for my own run. Sometimes it's nice to take a break from running in a group and be by yourself. I felt kind of sick to my stomach, I think I ran too close to lunch.

Speed at the track. It sure is nice to not have to go to the oval. I got there later and missed the first lap. So I did 7 laps warmup and a mile speed changes. Then we changed shoes, did a lap, and started the workout. We did 5x1000s. I was trying to hit 3:30s. I hit 3:30, 3:37, 3:39, 3:42, 3:44. I could only keep up with Bill, Jakob and Eleanor for 400 then I'd fall off. I tried to stick on them, I knew it would be better if I did, but I felt like I couldn't. My legs were heavy and I had a hard time staying focused. Towards the end there I couldn't think of anything positive, I always do better when I think positively. Today I just didn't have it. I don't feel strong, I need to get stronger. Mileage needs to go up, I let it slip last week so I need to focus now on getting it up. We did cool down, got me to 12.25.

I had to make up a math test today, so I was a few minutes late and barely missed the group. I went to Sugarhouse, I almost did a shorter version of the cemetery run, but decided not to because I just did that. So I did 3 laps on the road, debated doing another but thought I'd play it safe and make sure I was back to the school sooner. The wind was really blowing, especially along the back stretch by poker hill (I did backwards laps). I kept an okay pace, don't think I was going too slow. Got back a little after they got back, I got about the same distance as them so that's good right?

Today we went down to Liberty, went long way to the drinking fountain and then went to the mile mark. We did fartlek, 5 min, 4 min, 3 min, 2 min, 1 min all with 1 minute recovery. Then we went back up to the school. Didn't feel very good, it was a really long day for me.

Oh we love the winter series. Today was the 15k. I warmed up 2 miles. In the race I started out too fast, went through the mile at 6:27. Then I slowed down to a more manageable pace, 2 miles in about 13:30. Or around there. My goal was to stay under 7:15 pace because I knew that by the end I'd be struggling. Well that didn't happen. I felt horrible and had the worst cramps in the world. At the turnaround I stopped at the portapotties. Then when I started again I felt a little better, but still just struggled mentally because I was doing terrible, my time was so slow. I pretty much just ran it to run it, I didn't feel like I was racing. For the first couple of miles I felt like I was, but after that it just turned into a run. I timed myself and without the stop I was 1:09:08. If that counts as my time then that's 7:26 average pace. My splits for 3 miles each were 21:27, 22:33, 22:52, and 2:20 for the last .3. Did about a mile cool down.
