I had Alesha check out my knee cause it's been hurting, I'm just breaking and it's the worst. This one I will be running through unless it becomes more painful. I missed the warmups because of it but jumped in for the last of the stretches and did the form mile. Today was a 50%, we did End of the World and Kaylee picked us up. It was really nice because it's all slightly downhill and the wind was to our backs. We averaged 7:14, without the wind and downhill it probably would have been closer to 7:30. I started to feel tired at 3 today which wasn't fun but I stuck it out until the end. Thought that was a bit weird but I think I'm getting better at maintaining/pushing through. Stayed with Angie and Brighton for the whole thing, felt good about that cause usually they kill it on the 50s and I usually can't keep up for the last 3-4 miles. Once we got back to the track we did a lap to get warmed up again and did 10x100 meter strides with 15 seconds rest, this time on the turf. I did mine barefoot, don't know if I should feel embarrassed or accomplished because of my killer sock tan. Then ice and STEM.

Knee was more painful today. I only feel it when going uphill, downhill and up or down stairs. Haley thinks I irritated the Bursa underneath my kneecap. She wanted me to stay as flat as possible. So I did the form mile and mile warmup, then 2 laps before starting the 80%. I stayed on the track, did 1.5 at 6:23 pace and another .75 at 6:13 pace. Then since I couldn't do whistle hills I did 100 meter strides. Then cooled down on the short 2 mile main street loop.

Warmups, form mile, then coach told us today was 50% but he didn't care if we hit the pace. I ran with Amber. Everyone was doing main street loop and knee was feeling good so I decided to try it even though it's not flat. Felt good until we turned to go back uphill towards the track at the end. Weird cause it was sudden, not gradually getting worse. Iced and STEM.

I have decided to serve an LDS mission and received my call today! I have been assigned to the Missouri Independence Mission and leave for the Provo MTC on June 22. I am beyond excited to serve these people and share the happiness of the gospel with them!

Warmups, form mile, then mile warmup and strides. Workout was 5x1000s with 90 seconds rest. Legs actually felt loose and felt like I could get them moving! That hasn't happened for a while. Workout still wasn't the greatest, I ate a huge lunch before practice and puked a few times. :) Splits went 3:37, 3:36, 3:49, 3:59, 4:09. I know I faded and I need to work on it, but oddly I still felt good about the workout because I know I worked hard. Then got in a mile before weights.

Started running Cross Hollows then decided I wasn't in the mood for the long uphill at the end so I turned at 3 then ran up into the neighborhoods. Was going to add on along Dikes to 10 but .75 away from my house there's this teeny hill on the trail and as I went up it I got sharp pain in my knee. Stopped because it was unexpected, then walked a few steps and it felt fine, then started again and as soon as I went to my right leg sharp pain again. I couldn't run up this puny little hill, I shouldn't even call it a hill. So I walked up it to where it was flat, and started again. A little sharp pain but as I kept going it was fine. So I ran to my house and stopped because I didn't want to risk making it worse. It just scared me because it hasn't been that sharp before, and just the fact that the pain come on suddenly, not gradually getting worse as the run goes on.

Ran to the track and did a couple 400s with equal recovery, hit 77, 80, 82. Wind was really strong so if it was a perfect day with no wind they would've been faster. They weren't awesome but they weren't terrible either so I'm satisfied. I figured I should attempt to do some faster speed because I haven't done fast speed in forever, and if I race it'll be a shock to my body. Coach was going to put me in the 1500 this weekend (though he missed the registration deadline... hence why I'm not racing) but I'm kind of glad he didn't because I know that if I race that short/fast of a race I will be dying. Not really sure why he wanted to put me in the 1500, maybe to see where my speed's at. Knee felt pretty good today, was a bit painful on the uphill. Haley thinks I've irritated the bursa around my kneecap.
