I really need new shoes, 500+ miles on them now! Good little run on pipeline with Bill, Jayden and Angie. I felt alright for the first 3 miles, then my calves and arches were sooo tight and hurt so bad. At the turnaround I tried stretching out a bit. I stepped on rocks in the same spot where my foots been hurting for a while like 5 times consecutively. Ooooohh that hurt. Then around mile 8 I like hit a wall or something. It was a bit odd. Now my legs feel like I ran a 15 miler but it was only 10? I'm confused and I think my legs are too. 10 miles usually is the norm but apparently my legs think otherwise! Maybe it's because of the taper for state. Or maybe the pace was faster than I think it was? Idk. Gotta shoot that mileage back up though so that I'm ready for Great Southwest.

What is with the weather? I guess it's finally spring. I just really hate lightning. 9 miles by myself, felt alright but at about mile 7 this time my legs got tired.

Had to squeeze this one in because I had a very long shift at work. It was a boring shift. On the bright side I got paid to do homework and play games. I'm getting some more of these shifts in the summer after the summer camp ends (I want to work more hours haha) so I'm gonna have to get a book to read or something. But maybe we'll actually be busy in the summer. We'll have to see :)

Anyway, started at Sugarhouse, 1.5 laps warmup then 10x(1 minute on 1 minute off) fartlek, then cooled down another lap.

I did my run during my hole so that I could be done earlier. 7:40 average with a couple quicker miles in the middle (7:01 for both). Towards the end I got tired again. I dunno what it is but I still feel exhausted. I've been taking iron supplements so it shouldn't have to do with that, maybe I'm just worn out from all the intense training.

Turns out I can't go to Great Southwest, that weekend is just too packed from graduation and senior trip. I'm sad that it didn't work out, I was really looking forward to it. But I still have 4 years of college running so it's not like it's the end of the world, it just would have been a cool experience.

I suppose that since I have no more high school races East High track is over. I just want to thank my coach, Bill Cobler, for everything he did to make me the runner I am today. Bill has done so much for our team and even me in particular, he has sacrificed so much to help us be successful. He always looks for the potential each person on our team has, and he helped me see mine even when I doubted I would ever be good at running. He devotes so much time to our team, he comes on every single one of our runs. He always knows how to motivate us and gives the best pep talks before races. Then afterwards he'd ask what went well in the race, what we could have done differently, and then use workouts to practice not letting those things happen again. And on the days I wanted to be a punk and sit out instead of doing the workouts he'd make me finish the speed or tempo or keep up with him and so-and-so, sometimes making me do MORE repeats than everyone else, but each time I was grateful because it made me stronger and achieve the goals I had set. Thank you so much Bill, you are the best coach I could have ever asked for.

8 in the morning with Jayden, Angie, Bill and Garek. It was a good run, felt like we were moving pretty well. I didn't bring my garmin because it was dead so idk what the pace was like but it felt faster than yesterday. We did an out and back from the park and ride by the bridges on Wasatch. 7 miles were great then we hit the last hill... Yeah I think I was just worn out from the previous x amount of hills and the pace was faster. But I prolly could have stuck with everyone cause once the hill was done the gap stayed the same.

My dogs looked like they were in need of some exercise, so later I took them on a run. Penny was first, and she did better than I thought she would- 1.5 at 8:00 pace. Gus was a different story, after .15 I got frustrated cause he was going so slow (11:00 pace) so I took him back home. He's just getting too old. Finished up to 4.

Ran on Jeremy Ranch Road with Bill and Garek. Here's the thing about Jeremy Ranch Road, it's very scenic and beautiful. But it's so hilly and after a while the road seems endless. It seems every time I run there the last two miles are a struggle. Granted today was 4 miles farther than I was expecting... it was kind of rough especially going into the wind the last half. 8:06 average so nothing spectacular, but glad to get it in. Also I'm catching a cold which I'm not thrilled about, I hardly slept last night.
