Monday 8/7/17

This morning I woke up at 4:00 AM so that my family and I could leave at 4:30 to get to the airport for our 6:00 AM flight to Salt Lake City, Utah. Later that evening we ate dinner downtown and then walked around for a while. I decided not to run today because it's one less day I'll have to run on a treadmill if I switch my rest day to today. 

Total miles: 0

Tuesday 8/8/17

It's day one running in Utah and I ended up running about 9:00 PM at night because we went to the Alpine Park today, which was really fun except for all of the rain that came down during the afternoon. After we got back to the hotel, I ran seven easy miles on the treadmill, which wasn't too bad, even with the altitude. I watched SpongeBob to keep me entertained, which was definitely a good choice.

Total miles: 7

Wednesday 8/9/17

Today was a workout day, which I knew going into it was going to be rough because of the altitude and the fact that I would be running on a treadmill, but once again I had SpongeBob on to keep me distracted and I think his face in the picture below pretty much sums up how I felt about the workout. 1Ks are already not fun, but running them on a treadmill was crazy because it feels so much faster than usual. After the 1Ks, I did a 3-mile cool down.

Total miles: 4.83


Thursday 8/10/17

This morning my Dad and I rode the gondola up the mountain and went for a 4 mile hike on a few different trails. It felt so good in the mountains compared to Texas! Later, once we got back, my brother and I went down to the exercise room, where I ran 6 miles and finished with some fast core.

Total miles: 6

Friday 8/11/17

This morning we all got up petty early and then drove to the Salt Lake City airport to head home. Once we got home, I unpacked everything and by then it was too hot to run outside, so I ran 6 miles at base run pace on our treadmill.

Total miles: 6

Saturday 8/12/17

Today I had to leave for work at 8:30 AM, so I had to start running at 6:15 AM. I met up at school with my teammate Julia and we ran 7 miles at long run pace. Because I've traveled so much this summer, it was nice too finally be back home running in Keller. Plus, I missed all of my teammates!

Total miles: 6

Sunday 8/13/17

Went to church this morning and then worked from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PMso I had to get it my run after work. I wasn't about to run on the treadmill again, and it wasn't too hot because it had just rained, so I decided to run outside.

Total miles: 6
