Personal:

My mother forced me to start running as a freshman in high school.. and as much as I hate to admit it, I actually ended up liking it. Graduated from Pine View High School in 2013 and, after a yearlong hiatus, I am now running again, this time for USU, where I'm working on a composite Elementary Ed/Deaf Ed major.

Today was too cold and slippery to do hills so our workout was on the the bikes. 

Bike Fartlek:

15 minute warm-up, 10x30 sec fartleks (resistance 6) w/ 90 sec recovery (resistance 4), 15 minute cool-down (50 minutes)

Anaerobic workout (2 sets):

20 sec squat thrust, 20 sec high knees, 20 sec split jumps, 20 sec grasshoppers

Single leg squats (x6 each leg)

60 sec plank, 60 sec superman

I don't actually like putting 0 mileage up there so since I made it 7 miles on the bike today, that shall be equivalent to four running miles. Also I cheated on the planks because we were supposed to use the exercise balls but the entire tennis team was up in the mezzanine with me and I didn't really feel like making a complete fool of myself so I just did normal planks. But whatever. I'm actually quite impressed with my own dedication, because what with conference and regionals and all, Coach Spence is hardly here so we have to do a lot of workouts and runs on our own and I haven't missed any. Anyone who knew me in high school would know that is quite the accomplishment. Shoutout to myself for being an inspiration to all. 

Just kidding. Don't look up to me. I'm on a track team in Logan, Utah and I don't even own a running jacket (or any warm clothes, for that matter) so I obviously can't be trusted to make important life decisions.

Speaking of which, I have a long run tomorrow morning, so if you don't hear from me, assume I died of hypothermia and tell the authorities to look for my body up Green Canyon.

Crap. I forgot I'm the only one reading this. My body will never be found.
