Today we started by going to the weight room. Kiley came to work out with us, and that was great because we're about the same speed. We did our usual leg lifts, wall sits, balance, squats, calve raisers, arm swings, and lunges. For a run we ran down to Liberty Park and met at the drinking fountain. We then went over to do fartlek around the pond, 3 minutes on and 2 minutes off, 5 sets. I stayed with Bill and Kiley the whole time, and once we finally reached the cooldown, I felt really sick. When we got to 9th south, Sargent and I stopped at the little chocolate shop to use the bathroom. After a POTTY break, we ran up 9th south and once we got to 11th east we walked up the hill, and as soon as we reached the top we ran again to the cars. I need to cut down on the Halloween candy...Hehehe...

Went to the gym with Susie. Ran 2 miles on the dreadmill getting progressively faster every quarter mile. Biked for about 10 minutes, really fast 3 miles on the bike. So stressed out on the play...

We met in the commons for practice but it turns out we were supposed to go up to the track, so Kiley drove me up there and it was my first time in a slugbug ever! :D

Anyway, today was a bad day to come back to xc after the play. We did a mile warm up and a mile speed changes, and I felt pretty ready to do the three one mile repeats at 6:10 pace. However after my first lap, I felt the horribleness of having only ran twice in the past 2 weeks, so I pushed as hard as I could until the mile was over. The burning hurt so bad, I stood still for a few minutes before running a really slow cool down just to be at 4 miles for the day. Hopefully I'll be back up to where I should be by Friday.

We met in the commons and ran up to the track. There, we did 8 of our drill laps on the bleachers. We did pocketkicks, highknees, Bskips, Powerskips, Grapevines both ways, lunges, and toes. After the 8 laps we went over to Kernodle hill and did half a soccer field stride and up to touch the fence, walk backwards down, and jog back to the middle of the field. We did that 10 times. Then we ran up to Sunnyside park, 2 laps, and back down to the school. So excited for tomorrow, it's a late start, then the STATE FOOTBALL GAME, and then our XC banquet! :) Go East High Football!!!!!!!

Went out to the Olympic Oval with Natalie, Sarah, Sarah, and Olivia today. Bill met us there and we did a mile warm up and a mile speed changes, then a lap recovery. (Just for fun Livi, just for fun:)Then we did 6 800s, and I was supposed to be hitting no slower than a 3:15. We did a lap after each one for recovery. I hit a 2:59, 3:13, 3:09, 3:16, 2:59, and a 3:03. I really need to put myself together. They were okay, minus the fact that my lungs felt like they were just burning up, and that I had to yell "lane one!" at the same person three times before they moved more into the lane. Not helping mister slow walker. After we finished our last recovery lap, we did 9 laps cool down to be at 10 for the day. Then we all went for a lovely gelato from Emigration :)

Today was a track workout. We did our 2 vertical D floor laps and then Natalie and Jasmine led our stretches because they're seniors and we love seniors. After that we did some dynamic stretching and leg swings. Then 2 sets of 30 quick squats, 2 A floor hall strides, walk out side to sides, and 4 stair laps. After the second set we did jump lunges, then wall kicks, then we went to the weight room to do pull ups. I actually kindof did some :) Then we distance people went on a run. I was supposed to go on a 40 minute run, just anywhere. I ran with Annie and Nate the whole way because everyone else fell behind. We went up 9th south to 18th east, over a block, up to 19th east, over to Harrison ave, down to 17th, and a loop in Browning circle. After that we went down Browning Avenue to 15th east, over to Sherman down to 14th east by my house, over to 13th south, down to 13th east, over to 17th south, then turned around and went back to East along 13th east. It was pretty cold but it wasn't too bad, so it was basically the perfect weather for running. I felt a little sick throughout the run but I was mostly alright.

We did speed at the track today. After giving the Box Elder girls basketball team a short tour of the commons to Sharpay's locker and Ms Darbus's classroom all from High School Musical (They were excited it was hilarious!) we ran from the commons to the track and did a mile warm up and a mile speed changes. Then we did 8 400s each with a lap recovery. It was okay mentally, but physically it was challenging. All of my workout today was really me telling myself to keep going. After our last one, we did a mile cool down and back down to the school.

Ran a 2 mile warm up with Susannah. At the start of the race I went out hard with her but then fell back because of the gradual uphill. Once I hit the turnaround I picked it up. And I saw a bowhunter guy, he was legit. I wasn't going to let any other girls who looked like my age group beat me because I've done this race 4 times now and I wanted a medal. In the last kick a girl who looked my age tried to outkick me but I beat her, clearly. She tried to pass me in the chute but I wouldn't let her. But then when they did awards they announced 1st 2nd and then 3rd, and she was 3rd? Screw sports am. I went and talked to the people and told them that I beat her that I had battled that final kick with her thinking about beating her and burning my lungs up just to be told she beat me yet I was in front? No, I wanted my medal. So I got it. Stupid sports am, I'm never doing any of their races ever again because of their cheap chip timing and outdated computer.

Today for track we met in the commons and ran up to the track. We did 2 laps so we would all be at a mile warm up. Then we did our dynamic drills with Tim and then broke into boys and girls (ugly and pretty) for circuits with box squats, hill lunches, football field strides, burpies, walk out and in with roatations, and hills. We broke into groups for our runs, I went for a 20 minute adventure run with Patrick, Kevin, Sarah B, and Sarah Sa. We ran over to 9th south, up to 17th east, over to Harvard, and down to ZoBells. I looked through the window and stared at RJ for about a full minute before he looked up. It was funny. Then we ran down to 15th east, over to Yale, down to 14th, over to Gilmer, down to 13th, and back to the school. We finished at exactly 4 miles for the day. We then did wall sits as the 5 of us then I went back up to the track to give Bill the rest of my Footlocker stuff and get my sweats from Savannah.

Today was speed and we had a bigger group than we normally do. We ran up to the track and did a mile warm up and a mile speed changes. Then we stretched and did 4 sets of 400 200, with 2:30 and 1:30 standing recovery. I ran a 1:17, 37, 1:20, 39, 1:26, 38, 1:22, 37. My legs felt really heavy for the first 2 sets, but then on the last 2 sets my whole upper body felt really heavy and I almost tripped over my legs because it felt like I had no control. It was wierd. We did 2 grass loops cool down then took down out discus net, which I'm not sure why it was even up... Then we ran back down to the school and went home. We're scheduled to leave for Footlocker at 6 AM on Thursday, and from the second I post this we're scheduled to leave in 36 hours 44 minutes and 30 seconds.

Today for track we did 2 vertical laps warm up and then went right onto dynamic stretching. We then did 3 of our circuits with the basic A skips, strides, burpies, down dog walk outs, box squats and box lunges with 5 second holds, and more. After all this we went on our run along 13th east to the cemetery, 1 lap, and back the same way. We went to the weight room and did some stretches for our legs and arms and then went home. I'm excited, 6 AM tomorrow we leave for FOOTLOCKER! 12 HOURS 39 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS!!!
