Endurance Boost

Workout at Sugarhouse. My knees are giving me some trouble. Going to go get new shoes, we'll see if that helps.

Run at Pipeline today. My knees still hurting a bit, and I felt a little bit sick throughout the run.

I used the new shoes today and my knees felt much better. I did feel a bit sick though; I got a really awful headache after about a quarter mile. I think it's because I haven't been getting enough sleep or drinking enough water.

Hot run today. The hills hurt my knees.

Firemen at Liberty Today. Bill had me run with the more experienced group, which was really difficult for me because of my three-week hiatus from running before this week. I felt very, very out of shape and a little bit bad that I was slowing the group down. Still, a good run.

Cemetary run. It took a really, really long time to get my knees to warm up. I felt like I had to waddle for about two miles before I could finally get my legs to move properly.

Just ran by myself today, the team was in Idaho. It was a good run, but without the pressure of Coach or team there, it was at a painfully slow pace.

Ran at the Jordan River Park today. It was hot and tough and not fun.

Ran on that trail near the Hogle Zoo. Hills hurt my knees.

Ran at Liberty park and did fartlek. I've started feeling a lot better on my runs than I have for a long, long time. I think it's because I've been able to get more sleep and have been less stressed now that the school year's over.

Ran in California today. Very, very humid.

Cemetary run. My knees and head and feet felt much, much better today than on any run I've had in the past few months.

Ran at Pipeline today. I was really, really tired; I went to bed pretty late the night before.

We started a bit earlier than normal because of the girls leaving for Camp this weekend. We ran from Sunnyside Park down to the track and did 8 grass Xs and 10 hills, which ended up being about 4 and 1/2 miles. Then we did grass loops and finished at Sunnyside. I felt pretty good.

We ran at JCC today. I was expecting it to get extremely hot today, but it wasn't too bad. My legs got really tired in the last mile, but I was fine for most of the run.

I forgot to set my alarm last night, so I didn't go to practice. Ran up emigration late tonight when it got a bit cooler.
