10 miles. Forgot my running shorts... so I just ran in the shorts I wore to school :) Up to the zoo, along Wasatch to Thunderbird and to the drinking fountain, then along foothill to 13th and down to 19th. Then along 19th to Sunnyside and back to the track. It was HOT. Probably in the 90s. I felt really dehydrated along 13th and 19th, which is where I slowed down and fell off the group. It hasn't been that hot in a while. I stopped on 19th for a minute in the shade because I was way overheated and felt a headache coming on. Started back up and made it to the track. Got some water and waited for Bill and Jakob to finish their grass lap, then joined. Did one with them and 2 more to get to 10. Good run except for the last part, but it wasn't that my legs were tired, it was just so hot and I think it got to me mentally and I was dehydrated. 8:15 average pace.

Happy to say I didn't feel my knee or shin pain at all during the run. My shin hurt a little when Bill massaged it, and my ITs hurt too, but it's improvement.

AM:

Morning practice. VA loop then 8 strides on the grass and 2x300s. Both of mine were 53. I ran with Garek, Chris, Toph, and Nate. I felt okay on that part, but the strides were actually hard for me. Maybe I just don't have much speed.

PM:

It was in the 90s again today. The heat is actually really exhausting. I was really tired when we finished, and the workout wasn't particularly difficult. We went to Sugarhouse and did the white tree hill 6 times, then over to poker hill and did it 3 times. Longer group went up to 21st and over until it met foothill then cut down to Davis park and got a drink. Back to the track along Sunnyside. I'm glad we have so many drinking fountains in this neighborhood. I dunno what I would've done without them.

Region meet at Liberty against Kearns, Bountiful, and Judge. I hit 6:28 first mile, was supposed to stick to that pace but crashed. The heat is killing me, I wish the storm would come already. I led for pretty much the whole race, within the first .1 I was in front of everyone. It got a bit lonely but it was still fun to lead. I missed Eleanor though. Cooled down to 9.5 around Liberty. Legs were tired, idk why. My ITs or quads (I can't really tell which) are really sore.

5 miles for morning practice. VA loop to 13th then added grass laps.

PM:

11.5 miles total. Went to Sugarhouse and went to the drinking fountain by the two mile at state. We did 4x1000s along the course from there and finished around the pond. My times were 3:46, 3:43, 3:36, 3:44. In between the thousands we had a minute recovery then did white tree loop hill hard. Jogging recovery to the two mile mark to start the next one. I worked with Toph on all of them, it was nice to have him there because it certainly helped me work through it. The heat probably made us a little slower and there were a lot of turns the first quarter mile. I'm glad we did them at Sugarhouse because now for state I know that part well and know exactly where I want to run. We ran back via 13th and then added to 11. I added a grass lap to get me to a round number for the week.

2 with Jesse then another by myself.

PM:

Legacy bridge run, went to the gate and then came back a little differently, then added with Bill and Tomy to 8. Secretly I'm stoked to be hitting 80 this week. It's been forever since I've gone that high and it's the highest I've ever gone. And never have I done it in the middle of Cross Country season.

Rail trail! I really like this run. For the first 5.75 I ran with Bill and we averaged 7:11 pace. Then I stopped at the bathroom, Bill yelled that I'd have to catch up to them and my first thought was, "like that's gonna happen." My legs felt really tight and it was cold up there (although I like that much more than the heat). When I got to the drinks I waterfalled some Gatorade and then started back up. I could see off in the distance where Chris, Garek and Bill were, so I thought, well maybe I'll try to catch up, then I can say I at least tried. So I picked it up and started going 7:05 pace, then thought what the heck? And picked it up more until I was hitting 6:30-6:40 pace. I had looked at that 7:11 average pace from earlier and thought I'd try to get it under 7 so that's why I picked it up so much. And as a result I was catching them! Passed Chris, and a little while later was about 100 meters behind Garek and Bill. They randomly stopped so I thought maybe they wanted to wait for me? No, it was the 10 mile mark. I stopped with them and Bill told us we were to do a 3 mile tempo then could dog the last 2 miles. I was like seriously? But I did it. I was to hit 6:20s with Bill, so 19:00. I hit 19:12. The mile felt great, then started mentally struggling 1.5 in, then the last mile I was glad to have Bill running with me because I was getting tired and it helped to have him talk me through. 6:57 average pace after 13 miles. Then dogged the last 2 miles as promised, 7:49 and 8:04 brought average pace up to 7:03. 

Awesome run, I'm really happy with it. I proved that I am strong, and I not only finished the 15 mile run (which I was happy with the first time, about a month ago?) but pushed the pace. And it got me to 80 miles for the week! Sorry for the long entry.
