Today we went out to the Oval for speed. We did the regular 4 laps of warm up and went to the fundamental skills zone for stretching. My calves were really, really tight, so I massaged and stretched them. Then we did 4 laps warm up and 4 laps speed changes. I did that with Sarah and then jogged a lap. We all changed shoes and headed over to the 400 starting line. We did 8 400s, and I was supposed to get between 1:28 and 1:30. There was some lady jogging in lane one, and I had been screaming 'LANE 1!!" Yet she still didn't get the message even after the big herd of us passed... She was finally in a different lane by the 6th or 7th 400. So yeah, anyways, between each 400 we would walk from where we had just finished over to the 400 starting line. Sarah and I had less recovery than everyone else, which affected our times after the 5th one. I'm just glad it's all over. When we finished number 8, we jogged 2 laps, changed back into our trainers, and did 4 more laps for the grand total of *Drumroll* 8 miles for the day.

So today I was supposed to do 8... but everyone else was finished and I felt bad making them all wait. After doing all our stuff in the weight room at the school, Bill told us just to go to a dreadmill for 8 miles. No way can I do that! So when we got to Steiner, Natalie and I did 10 laps around the ice rink upstairs, which is 1 mile, then we went to the dreadmills. I survived 1 mile, then went back out to the ice rink area to do 10 laps in the other direction. Then when I got back to the other room, all the dreadmills were taken, so I hopped on an elliptical and did 3 miles. The elliptical actually felt really good for my plantarfacitis, since I didn't have to do foot toe foot toe lopsided running. Maybe my left calve won't feel so tight tomorrow...

Ugh. 2nd day at the Oval this week, and we have a meet Friday and Saturday. I hate that place now. We did the usual 4 laps warm up and stretching. Then 4 laps warm up and 4 laps speed changes. My plantarfacia hurts like heck! I can't step on it without the excruciating pain, and I'm scared. I did 5 300s, and counted my laps. I was at 20 laps, so I got on the bike while everybody else finished the workout. If it keeps hurting really bad to run, then it's probably going to be pool running, elliptical, and bike until I find out whats wrong. And I don't know when my mother will schedule an appointment, I would do it myself, but I just don't know how... Darn.

Today was easy, considering we have a track meet at the dumb oval tomorrow and Saturday. We ran from the school to the U flagpole along 13th east, then back along 13th east over to the flagpole at Westminster and back. Now we're going to go recruit at the freshman fair.

Day 1 of the Oval Distance Challenge. By the time I got there, paid, and checked in, I had little time to warm up. I managed to get just over 3 laps in for warm up and headed to the Bull Pen with Susannah, Amanda, Sarah, and Natalie. We were sitting there forever, and the people weren't really doing anything, so Bill saved our spots and we went to do some drills and warm up more. None of us were in the 1st heat, so we had plenty of time. Sarah did excellent in the 2nd heat!! We still had warm up time because nobody we knew was in the 3rd heat. Amanda, Montana, and I were in the 4th heat, and we were all wearing out Sojourners uniforms because we're just that awesome. I was boxed in at first, because Amanda and I started on the back line, three in a row with the purple giraffe spikes, score! I kept to the inner lanes, because on the straights there was plenty of room for me to pass on the inside easily. I PR'd by 1 second!! :D Happy day! My foot hurt too much to do a full cool down, so I walked around a bunch and then did some yoga with Natalie, Taylor, Susannah, and Amanda. Then took a nap with Delaney and Sarah. I'm doing the 800 tomorrow...

Did the 800 today. I was in the 3rd heat out of 5. My hip number was 4, so I had a good spot on the starting line. My plan was to get out hard and hold a good spot, then outkick in the next 400. I got boxed in, but people were leaving adequate room between the track and the mats dividing it from the ice, so I had plenty of room without stepping over the line. Once I crossed the 400 line, I was in about 4th place, and I figured I could at least get 2nd. But when I passed the other 2 girls I was with, I had to hold them off and I caught up to the 1st place girl. And in the last 100 meters, I got her. With about 15 meters to go, she started passing me again, but I moved my arms and finished in 1st, with a 14 second PR!!!!!!
