woke up at 5am to run the virgin river trail with my dad!  It was fun to run that early in the morning because it was still cold!  Like usual it took me about a half mile to warmup and to stop the knee pains but I really enjoyed the run!

today we headed out by little black mountain.  I had a side ache at the beginning of the run but it soon went away.  I went at a pretty decent pace the first 3.5 miles but when we turned around  I decided to keep up with court. we we picked up the pace and it was awesome.  I like running with courtney because I feel challenged and she makes me a better runner:)  We were going at about a 7:20 pace but could still keep up a conversation!  great run!

So today was fun.. first of all courtney jumped her car off the speed bump in the Dixie Center parking lot.. it was pretty sick! then we did a two mile warmup heading out the bloomington.  then a tempo run heading back to where we started.  My pace was aroung a 6:25! I ended just before we go under the freeway so next time I want to make it under the freeway.  Then kire courtney and I went for our cool down we took the trail out to bluff street, we turned around and coming back we took a detour... we ran under the streets of St. George aka the sewer... so yeah it was quite fun.  of course then we did core and stretching.

2.5 mile warm up with some strides.  then our workout today was 60 seconds as hard as you can then 3min recovery then 60 seconds hard, 2 min recovery and so on.  The work out is supposed to tell us our mile time which is pretty cool.  then we did 300 repeats. starting with 70% all the way to 100%.  after each 300 we jogged to recover then did ten push ups! cool down, core and stretch afterwards.

2.5 mile warm up at the virgin river trail.  We ran towards bloomington then did a tempo run heading back to the start.  I had 15 minutes and a 6:15 pace.  Me and rachel stuck with each other through the whole run.  We ran almost 2.5 (to be exact 2.4)!  I felt great!  I definitely felt better than last weeks workout on this trail.  then me rachel and jordan went for about 1.5 mile cool down!

SOOOO... today we had our trail(adventure)run tuesday.  we ran out by a spa some where in green valley.. i think.  so anyways it was a very pretty run.  the first half was all up hill which was more challenging but it was worth the view at the top!!  then the knee killer was the down hill but suprisingly my knees felt just fine, even on the down hill.  I felt great today and i think im finally finding my legs after that long break in december! :)

this morning i did easy three.

then after school we had a track meeting.  after we did an easy 4 mile run.  It was called a kenyan run i think and it was really cool to be in the back and see everyone in front of you in a single file line.  after practice coach thatcher talked to us about rolling and nutrition.
