Recovery

This morning I went out for my run. I ran up Sherman and 13th south to 17th east to Michigan and up to 2000 East. Then I went to Sunnyside and Foothill and ran the VA Loop to Guardsman and back to 9th south. I still needed more miles, so I went up to 2000 East again and back down Michigan to 17th E to 13th South and home. But I needed another half mile so I ran to Browning and back along 14th east. My thumbs froze.

Today after the usual warmup drills and stretching shenanagins we went down to Liberty to do 6 800s. We just stayed on the Northeast corner of the park, running between the mile and mile and a half marks. I wasn't hitting the times I was supposed to, and I don't think anyone was. Starting the 5th one, it was just Tomy, Chris, Dakota, Bill and I because everyone else was done at 4. After the 5th one we were told some good news: We were done! So we finished the lap around the park then went back to the school.

Today after all the track shenanigans we went out for our run. Instead of staying as a pack we all sortof strung out and went our own recovery pace. I stuck close to Tomy at a 7:20 pace the first 2 miles. We went along 13th east to Sugarhouse, ran a road lap then went up to 17th east for the cemetery run. I stayed with Tomy until Parkway, then I was on my own for the rest of the loop. When I got back on 17th east Tomy and Chris passed me because they had taken a wrong turn. I stayed with them down 21st south to 13th east and for about a block on 13th east, but I was dying and it's really hard to run in the slushy snow. When I got to East Bill and Sarah had caught up to me and we all ran a lap around the school together to be at 11.

Today after all the track stuffs we were getting ready for our outdoor run when I got a text from my mom saying my neighbor slipped and fell. See, we had frozen rain today, so everything is really icy. Lots of people ice skated to school today. So she didn't want me running outside and breaking my leg. When she picked me up we went to the grocery store, and I was allowed to run home on salted roads with no cars. So I zigzagged the salted/sanded non-busy streets and went back and forth on 14th east for 4 miles. Then I went inside and ran 4 more on the treadmill while I was still warmed up. Next I did weighted lunges, arm swings, and squats. Then I went upstairs for some crunches, planks, core yoga poses, and I even tried to do some good pushups. I can feel my abs hurting a bit, that's good. Food time.

Ran along 13th east to the Cemetery on 5th south, ran 3 laps and back.

Today I was going to go out to Saltair for the 5K, but my mom woke me up and said she's not driving out there with all the fog. So I had to stay home all day. I ran on my dreadmill for 7 miles while watching Chuck, so I was pretty entertained. If you haven't seen Chuck, then you won't understand any of my conversations with Scotty.
