Really nice run today, perfect weather, I felt great. I ran with Davis, Zach, and Ashton for 80 minutes on the Wasatch dimpledell loop, I did some extra. Practice tomorrow will be fun, I think I'm starting to feel it again.

I woke up at 4:30 because my tooth is hurting a lot, I know they screwed up, I decided to look it up and I'm fairly certain they caused an overhang by doing a crappy job with the filling, some of the filling is actually outside the tooth. That's one reason I'm pretty sure its an overhang, another reason is that my gum is what's hurting, overhang is supposed to cause gum inflammation and make the gum ache, and last, its only gotten worse since Saturday.my jaw that cramped up is ok now, this sucks. So I'm going to try and make them see me first thing this morning so I dont miss school and I don't have to deal with it anymore, because apparently this thing can get pretty serious.

My dentist is away for the week so looks like I will just have to get through it until then. The pain comes and goes, it doesn't hurt as much as it did this morning now but its getting there again, and when I called they said to get some Motrin, so I guess I will do that. We did an easy 4 miles and then did weight room. I did my 3 sets of the 3 workouts I do there, I'm getting better at them, I went up a weight setting in two and increased my reps in the other.

I'm pretty frustrated with lots of stuff. Oh and at practice, Hefner and that new coach decided we only needed lane 8 for our flying forties, which we usually use 3-4 lanes for. Then I did 1.5 to cooldown by myself. I'm kind of tired but I think I'm going to go do some more in the gully to give myself time to think about stuff and relax a little, and get ready for another day. Just 2.5 more in the gully, would've done more but there was construction and the path I wanted to run was blocked off for construction...in the gully... I need to decide whether or not to race by practice tomorrow

9 miles in the gully. It was a pretty good run. I guess I'm not racing tomorrow, maybe I will do a time trial on my own sometime over the weekend.

Ran to the gully and did hill sprints, then ran back to Alta. I did an extra lap on my own to get past 4 for the day. Only 3 months of high school left. Kind of glad I didn't go to the meet today. I want to pull off a big success but not much opportunity for that at the moment. I guess patience is the key thing right now. I will have to figure out what to do tomorrow, probably a big, easy mileage day. Maybe a max effort 400 or 800m just for fun.

Did a 10k, eventually I just started jogging. Wasn't feeling like racing a 10k today and I was pretty sore before the race. It was kind of fun though. Change of plans for this week, I'm going to Simplot! I need to get ready for it, and if I have a good race then hopefully I will make finals!
