| | So today the air quality wasn't that great, and breathing bad air is something that I always get paranoid about, so I decided to do my workout inside at the Sports Academy after school. The workout was supposed to be 7 miles at a moderate pace. As I started running I just noticed that my leg kind of hurt in a couple of places but I didn't let it bother me. I finished the first 4 miles in 23:37 which is just a couple seconds under 6 minute mile pace. It's like a 5:56 or close to it. Well anyways as I got off, my shin started to really bother me and hurt. To go along with that my hip flexor has really been hurting too for the past couple days. I wanted to get back on the treadmill and push but I didn't want to hurt anything. I ended up getting back on and doing 2 more miles in 12:08. This is when everything started hurting and bothering me. I really wanted to finish with about 9 today but I also wanted to play it safe, so I just ran 6 miles which sucked. I ended with some leg excercises but that still was uncomfortable to my legs, so I cut the lifting short today. I hope I start feeling better soon.

| | I did 2 pretty easy miles on the treadmill. Only did this far because my hip flexor has been hurting and I want to be good to go for my race this Friday. It sucks to cut back on milage when you know everybody else is out working hard. I am hopeful that I am getting better.

| | Today I did 6 easy to moderate miles at the Sports Academy on the treadmill. I didn't want to put in a ton of mileage today because I don't want my hip flexor to keep hurting.

Utah Distance Challenge 3200 m (2 Miles) 00:09:52, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 2 | | I got to the Oval and immediatley fell in love with the track. I sat and chilled with Ethan, Hayden, Claire and some other kids. I had a real good time talking with my fellow Hobby Joggers. I was feeling pretty good with exception of my hip flexor that was still hurting a bit. I went and warmed up down stairs instead of going outside because that smoggy air makes it hard for me to breath. I wasn't quite sure on mileage but I ran for about 15 minutes so I'm estimating around 2 miles. When I went back up stairs they called for the boys 3200 so I through on the spikes and ran over. I did a few dynamic stretches and stride outs while the girls were racing. When we were put on the starting line, the race officials didn't do a very good job of seperating people by time. I was in the middle of the front line. When the gun went off, I did a good job getting out and was in a good 2nd place spot. For the next 5 laps I sat right behind Ethan. The next group of kids were pretty far back from us. With about 2 laps left Ethan started to open up a bit of a gap, and that is where I have to do better mentally to stay in the race. By the last lap I was pretty tired but I still did my best to push all the way to the end. My goal was to break 9:45, but I didn't quite get it, I got a 9:52. I was still happy with it though. I finished 2nd to Ethan by 7 seconds. The group behind me was able to somewhat close the gap and 3rd place came in 3 seconds behind me. I was so happy to be done and sit and take a break for a couple minutes. Later we did a cool down with some of the other Hobby Joggers on the track. I didn't do a very good job of keeping track, but I would say it was probably around a mile and a half. Great job to everybody that ran yesterday. It was really fun to meet some new people. I'm way excited to race at Simplot this next week. Hopefully I can get a big P.R.. Peace.

| | Well today my legs were wrecked which was weird because I only raced 2 miles yesterday. I kept on getting cramps in me hamstring, calf, and foot which just killed. I have really wanted to run outside because running on the treadmill has gotten a bit boring. The air still wasn't the best, so did 8 miles at the Sports Academy on the treadmill. It was long, boring, and painful. I didn't get very much mileage this week either which sucks too. Hopefully the inversion will clear out soon.
