just for the run of it

did a swim wo, alternating between different strokes and some aqua jogging for 20min

swam again but for 30min, working on my strokes again, did better today 

heyyy first day back and not too bad. ran with watson and carolyn

dang, i got a feeling i'm gonna be doing a lot of running by myself this next month cause everyone is gone and i work pretty early. 3 by myself on the mct, apparently i wanted to push the pace today cause i slowed myself quite a bit but still averaged 8:00. felt solid and not too tired. things are looking good 

woke up around 6 so just decided to run then. did 3mile loop and it was a great choice cause there were tons of sprinklers and it was pretty hot. ap 7:58

for some reason starting up running after the break hasn't been quite as hard as i thought it would. averaged 8:03 with some nice negative split miles 

played ultimate frisbee and ran 4.5ish miles during that

went to practice today and did mile wu then abs&hips then did the rest with some girls. averaged 8:05.

woah what an adventure today! after getting lost and finally making it to the y trailhead watson and i went on the trail that we ran at camp last year. started out fine, just a few trips but then the trail turned rogue or whatever and we had to find our way through and rock slid down the mountain and eventually made our way back haha it was quite the adventure. afterwards we got bagels at einstein bros bagels which was quite delicious, shoutout to watson for the good time

first mile didn't really end up being a wu.... a car apparently didn't see me running across the road as it was turning and it started speeding towards me but i couldn't really get out of the way so i started screaming then it realized i was there just in time. i ran quickly back to the park with my heart rate going a million miles an hour. then ran up the kicker while everyone raced it, just ran it cause i'm not doing speed or anything but it was nice to do some hills. ran back and did some abs and hips 

nice and rainy today. did 8:09ap with watson and it felt really good. abs&hips and then said goodbye to riley and thom. i'm really gonna miss those guys. 

woke up not feeling super great so today's run was kinda rough, mile wu then 7:35ap for the other 3. wasn't planning on going that fast but guess i was stressed about getting to work. abs&hips 

recommendation of the day: don't let me create loops. i drove to highland glen park for change of scenery and did this loop i thought would be 4 but it was over and it was a lot harder than i thought it would be and 7:50ap did not feel easy like it should (i mainly blame that on me being sick). so yeah kinda rough but at least it's done and it was nice to mix location up

wow it felt soooo nice to take it slow. 8:40ap in old lehi, ran with emily walgreen, she's gonna do awesome things this upcoming season. abs&hips

drove to alpine on collins suggestion and ran towards the trailhead of horsetail falls. it was uphill mostly on the way out so it felt nice on the way back. the weather was actually pretty nice and even tho my legs took awhile to warm up, they eventually fell into rhythm. 8:10ap, abs&hips

woooo 5miles. and got to run with the squad! well for like 2miles. then the team did games and guppy and i took off and finished up and man i've missed that gal, as well as mario. 7:42ap, didn't feel too horrible today

ran through the gully out and back. 8:05ap. the end of runs have felt worse lately but i think it's just partly cause i've been trying to up as much miles as possible while still being smart. 

definitely felt better today cause i chose to take it easy, 8:20ap with kaylee and rachel and it was a good time on country road. 

today i felt so much better, well not at the beginning my left calf hurt til i stretched it but then i felt chill and there was a nice breeze and yeah. also did a grass mile at skyridge. 8:10ap and abs

first leg of top of zion relay. gradual downhill for the most part but intense southern utah afternoon heat and smoky air plus ugly landscape made for a pretty miserable time but i survived. 7:29ap

warmed up .1 cause it's flippin cold at 1am in the morning. another slight gradual downhill but i felt soooo much better for this one and something about running in the dark i love. 6:29ap for 4.4miles and didn't feel like i was pushing too hard

legs felt v tired at the beginning of my run. ran down to practice and did abs then did a mile with mario then ran kicker with the team again, helped grace break 12 and i felt lots better as i went on. recovery but felt good. 8:12ap

i think i need to make easy days more important cause today was really nice. incorporated some hills with mario and some other girls and just took it easy. 8:30ap

just ran kinda around, nothing too exciting. did a grass mile. 8:05ap

the best word to describe today's run is ew. 8:10ap

mile wu then ran to a mile left of the teams tempo run course so i could help pace the last mile with the girls. they came up and i kinda took the lead for a half mile then let bryn go with the guys so i could stay back more to help mario. actually ended up being about 1.2 miles at 6:40ap and it felt good to pick things up and help out the girls. they killed it. cd to finish miles. and then abs. huge shoutout to eva for breaking 18:00 in the 5k!! if you haven't checked out her blog you should cause she is amazing
