We ran by the Dixie Center today. We ran a 2 mile warm up and then we did a fart-lick workout; 1 min. hard 1 min. easy, 2 min. hard 2 min. esey, 3 min. hard 3 min. esey, 2 min. hard 2 min. easy, 1 min. hard 1 min. easy. It was hard but I like to run over there. Then Cassidy, Shawnee, and me ran a mile cool down, we ran over by Ford and Shawnee and Cassidy ran under a tunnel thing. I am scared of the dark so I ran above. :)

We ran in the desert today. I thought this was one of  THE HARADEST RUNS EVER!!!!! It felt like a stair way leading us up to heven through a jumbled mess of boulders and rocks. It was sandy and hard to run on. Right as you reach the top you think you will plato, but you are wrong! You plummit down a narow trail, strait down the rocks, I ran into a cactus on my way down. I need to start looking where I am going more offten. I probably exagerated some of the details but this is how the run felt to me. This was the hardest 5 miles I have ran!!!

I ran a 2.5 mile warm up and then did mile repeats. My mile goal time was 6:53! I have never ran that fast befor but I tryed to stay positive. My first mile repeat I ran a 6:57 min. mile!!! I was so happy, I have been wanting to run under a 7:00 min. mile and I did! Then we jogged 2 laps around the turff and hoped back on the track. The second lap was a little slower, I ran a 7:33 mile this time. I was still happy but, totally exosted. Then we ran a slow mile cool down.

We ran Hill repeats today. I ran four of them and they are hard! We ran over to the knolls and ran up that hill. I ran total of 5.5 miles.
