Nothing Today

Weights and elliptical. I need to work on stretching my hip more.

Went up with the team to Kearns and BYU. Kearns was today and it was cold and rainy. It was so cold my hands turned white because I have Raynauds (over reaction to cold). I had to go inside and warm up and get my hands warm. After the track meet we went to the hotel and stayed up to late because of some stupid room mates/friends.

BYU Invitational was today. I think it would be cool to run on that blue track someday, I have to get a lot faster to beable to. I am glad I got to go on this trip even though I didn't run, I had fun with the team and just being there.

Weights, elliptical. I have been stretching my hip flexor more and it feels a lot better. Resting it today, tomorrow and then region Wed. and Thurs. I won't do anything with it and then we will see how it feels.

Nothing today but a lot of stretching. If I feel ok I am going to start running again on Friday. Start out slow to warm up, then get to a moderate pace and stop before it hurts; do this everyday and slowly increase it. It has been feeling a lot better but it all depends on how it feels the next couple of days and when I start running again.

Region track meet today. GO PANTHERS!

Last day of Region track meet. There was a lot of exciting races today, it was fun, and we did good. Boys got second to Cedar and I think the girls got 3rd.

I ran today after not running at all for almost 3 weeks. My hip flexor has been feeling very good and I have been stretching it pretty good. I ran one mile today; 1 lap then stretch, 2 more going faster and 1 more slower. My hip flexor felt good but my knees hurt and I am way out of shape.

I am ready to get going again but I have a lot of work to do. I have to run more but still be careful not to over do it and get hurt. Need to get ready for the Wasatch Back Relay and Cross Country!

This injury has been hard, I have learned a lot. Reminded me to appreciate running, working hard, racing, and doing what I love. Running does a lot for me, and not running has affected me. My family tells me I am more grumpy and not as happy, and there has been times that I couldn't sleep at night. I feal a lot better so I hope I can get healthy soon!

One mile on the track, then got a drink and stretched a little. One more mile (big grass loop .75 and a lap on the track) and stopped for today. Willy ran with me for most of it. I felt very very out of shape but my hip flexor didn't hurt.

I did a lap on the track and then a big grass loop and stoppped. Another lap and grass loop and went inside to cool down. It was really hot and the heat takes a lot out of you. For my last mile I did a smaller 1/2 mile grass loop and 2 laps on the track. My calfs hurt today and my hip (but not in a hip flexor hip way!), probably need to talk to chiropractor.

Go Jazz

I ran with my watch today, the last time I used it was April 5. I like running with my watch because it gives me info. like time, pace, distance, and stuff like that. I think you can learn a lot from using it but sometimes you get a lot from not worrying about time and stuff. First I did the 2 mile DI loop, 15:32, averaged 7:44/mile. After that I did 5 laps on the track, in 8:38. I still feel really tired and out of shape but it takes work to get good. We talked about Cross Country today and I am excited, it will be awsome!

I did this run from my house. I still felt tired and out of shape but today was better. Total time was 22:47. Average pace 7:30/mile.

Nothing today, went to the lake.

Good Luck Everyone At State!

I played basketball this morning and ran around. It wasn't a lot of running but my hip didn't hurt so that was good.

This afternoon I ran with Decker. We ran an average of 7:37/mile and I felt a little better. Same old problems can't breath, tired, just out of shape. school year is almost over!!

First day of Wasatch Back team practise. Amanda and I had a hard time finding Ally but once we meet up with her everyone else was gone. We waited for everyone to get back and talked to them for a while. I liked the run we did, it was some of the parts of the half marathon I did and it was fun to run somewhere new. This was the longest I have run in two months after my injury and last week being lazy. I felt really good, very very slow but better than I have been feeling. I think last week was a good break and now jumping into it is good. I have a lot of work to do but I'm ready.

Total time 51:34  Average 9:07/mi  we stopped for a minute after about  2 miles and 4 miles.

1- 7:14  2- 10:30  3- 7:54  4- 11:56  5- 8:26

I ran around the block and then around my neighborhood through the streets around my house, a lot of up and down roads. It was fun (short and still hot at 7:30pm) and I went in random directions around the hood. 20:19 total time 7:17/mi average. 6:35 fast first mile.  

Wasatch practise today. We ran Webb Hill in Bloomington, it is about a mile long hill and pretty steep. We ran a mile to get there and then started up the hill together. It was really hard and I had to stop once but I made it to the top in around 9:50 (my watch died before the run but Deckers dad had times). The view is really cool. After that we did half of it and I can't remember my time. It was really hard but I felt ok. On the way back me and Decker got going really fast, probably the fastest I have gone in a while.

I ran the mile loop around my block with my sister Haley twice. She did pretty good and I am excited because she is going to do XC this year.  8:28/mi average 19:20 total
