Sucess isn't given, it's EARNED

The team did 1000's, but Tawny told me to run around the park because of my 10k tomorrow!!! I'm soooo excited! I've never done the Deseret News before, I've done the spectrum...but that's a different race. But anyway, I took it easy and just did 3, I really want to do good =) 

And finally I can do 45 this week!! I don't have anything this week!! Yay!!

Today was an strange race. Considering the fact I was 2 minutes slower and I had amazing splits!! It was soooo humid, and I'm not used to running in the humidity with the heat! The course was mostly downhill, with slight uphills but it just seemed tough today, and I don't know why exactly. Maybe, cause I didn't warm-up cause I got there late, and I didn't eat anything and it was humid. But I don't know. The reason I'm not super mad is because I got under 19:30 at my 5k split!!! I got 19:29! ( cutting it close) I was elated and my 2 mile split was 12:01! Crazy, so maybe this was just a bad race for me, but there's always a silver lining to every cloud  :)

I ran 4 miles with the team, then came home and did a slow, crazy run of 2.5. Half a mile shorter than I planned but my legs are sore from Des News....which I didn't think they would be, because I didn't have a really good race. Well, we are doing a run up Suncrest tomorrow, hopefully I won't be too sore. I can't imagine what the marathoners are going through, I only did a 10k....well I guess I've never ran in Salt Lake before, besides state.

Ran 2 miles of hills up suncrest with the team, then ran 5 miles in the heat. :p

It was a pretty morning, I woke up took Sophie out and went to xc. We went four miles it was fairly warm for 7am; I then went 3.5 miles with my mom and it was raining   storming with strong winds. We went pretty slow, but the rain eventually stopped.

Well it's going to be weird because, I'm not doing a long run with my parents. My usual 14 miles, I hope I can do; because, I'm going with a teammate tomorrow and she hasn't gone as far as I have for my long runs hopefully I get at least 13 or 14 so I can get above 40 :/  I'm kinda excited to shake up the routine though :) I guess I can always run more later.

Went on a trail run with my teammate, Monica. We went on the mountain trail then came down through to Lone Peak. After, she went home, I went for a 3 mile run to the pond. I even saw some of the Timp Half people still running, I was jealous I really wanted to run that race.
