Me and sam and Jamie tried to go camping in st george after i got off work but both the camp sites we went to were full so we ended up on my trampoline at like 12:00 and then i woke up feeling gross but still tried to run and threw up all my breakfast. It was a good time. only made it 3

I helped christian move all day and didnt get the chance to run before work so afterwards me and sam and josh and christian ran. It was definitely my best run in a while. I was actually moving and felt good and didnt feel like i was crawling so thats good.

I wasnt planning on running today cuz I threw up 3 times this morning. Im not sure what the heck is going on cuz i threw up last week right after i ate and tried to run (that one was definitely my own darn fault), but I felt better around noon and I had the day off and so i went home to hangout with the sibs. played alot of super smash bros, and if i do say so myself.... I suck real bad. 

in the evening, me and ellie and my dad ran to sullivan and played pickleball. it was a dope time.

today I slept through my alarm and I dont think I have actually ever done that before, anyways I only went 3 again at like 9:00 and then me and scottie and bentley went to the lake. Then i played some more super smash bros and won my first round ever so that was also very dope.

4.5 with alison. I was feeling really good today and alison was apparently feeling so awful she couldnt finish the run. i tried to run to her house to get a car so i could pick her up but we went back a different way than we went and i got lost cuz she just moved and i had never been to her house before today. Anyways, i went way the wronng direction and by the time i found it she had walked back. 

Lifting and abs after

5 miles!!! it was also my fastest run of the summer, we averaged 7:24 which was good and fast. I was slightly dying but it was fun! i ran with morgan and sam and we just did mainstreet loop, I am finally up to a normal amount of miles i just need to work on not dying, but i also dont wanna kill my summer runs cuz we already run so many workouts and fast paces in the season

 

Also lifted today. i really am so glad i stayed in cedar for the summer cuz there are just alot of free recources and its way niceeee

 

Also me and sam are going to her family cabin at causey reservoir today when i get off of work and im sooo pumped!!

6 with morgan. holy moly! that was a harrrrd run. We did walmart canyon (i forgot the real name). we cruised the first 2 miles up the stupid long gradual hill to walmart and it felt good but i was tired and then we had the next 2.5 to just chill and go down the hills on the trail, thats my favorite part. then we went up the hill and i was literally dying. like i normally get tired up this hill but i just keep goinng cuz its fun to push it, but not today. it was harrrrrd but i did it and now i feel great and i fell asleep for a couple hours after, and i need to stop napping so long cuz then i suck at sleeping the next night. averaged 7:42 pace which is good considering the last mile was way slow up the hill haha.

6 with sam and morgan at 5:30. we threw 10x30 second pickups in there so that was fun to throw in a little speed. and then i fell asleep again and then i hiked with alison julieta and mike. lowkey not fun to hike with them, cuz one of said people kept running and another was driving me nuts.

One mile shakeout later

AM- 2 miles. Wellll, very early this morning/very late last night we were playing night games and we played fugitive. Our spots were 2 miles away from each other and me and Alison ran the whole way. Not the ideal time to run haha but I was gonna split today’s run anyways. 

This week I’m gonna start moving up in mileage :)) 

Later AM- wow I felt awful today. I definitely am dehydrated cuz I have been gone and stuff and not drinking. Anyways my legs felt so tired and I thought we were running like 9:00 minute pace and I felt so bad for Alison cuz I was running awful. Ended up averaging 7:58 which isn’t great but was definitely not as bad as I had anticipated so that was good.

i ran a mile and a half and then met sarah at the track, ran 5 more and then i ran home.

idk whats wrong but my legs are soooo tired alllll the time. i feel like for the most part i am getting the sleep i need, and im getting out and going everyday but i am struggling so hard to hit below an 8:00 pace and its so frusterating! 

Anyways, after my run i watched a movie and chilled and now im at my boring job where i do nothing. i feel so bad getting paid to do nothing but there is never anything to do.

Today honestly was my best run of the summer. it wasnt neccessarily fast or anything, like 8:20 average but i just slept in and chilled for a sec and just went out on my own which i havent done in a while. i didnt worry about pace and i ran to bicent and did some grass loops barefoot and some strides and it felt soo good! I definitely needed one of those days because i havent just felt good on a run in sooo long. it was actually a good motivator and reminder of why i like running so much. There was no one there pushing the pace or making me feel bad for not being able to run 7:00 pace and it was nice.
