Recovery

I feel alot better than I was last week. After the usual drills and such we went on a run. I could either do the shorter run or the longer run depending on how I felt. We ran up 9th south to Foothill and I didn't feel too good. I fell off from the front group and when I got to the light by Corner Bakery, Megan and Daisa caught up to me, so I ran with them at a pretty decent pace. We ran up to the yellow gate at Red Butte and I wasn't up for going the longer way on JCC to Shriners, so I went down Legacy bridge with Megan, Daisa, and Dakota and across Guardsman back to the school. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.

Today was a speed workout at the oval. After the track drills and such we all squished into the cars and drove out. We did 2 miles warmup and a mile of speed changes plus a recovery lap. Then we did 6 800s with a lap recovery between each one. I was supposed to be hitting 2:55 with Bill, Sarah, and Garek, which probably isn't going to help me get better from being sick. Bill paced our first one at 2:55 and I paced our second one at 2:54. It all went downhill from there and I crashed pretty badly, my next 4 800s were 3:12, 3:27, 3:28, and 3:30. We did 4 laps coooldown for 10. I had to go to bed really early because I really need to rest.

Speed yesterday was a little overwhelming so today I ran with Sarah and Megan. We went to the cemetery, ran 1 lap, did 4 hills, ran another lap, did 4 more hills, finished that lap, and ran back.

We ran to Liberty and did firemen. After my 1st lap I was feeling a little lactarded and had to stop. I'm thankful for the bathroom in little chocolate shop on the corner of 7th east and 9th south. I ran back to the school with Emma because she's the best little sister ever.

When we all got to the oval we ran 2 laps warmup and then Tomy and I led stretches. Then we all did our drills and strides. Next all the mile girls ran 4 laps warmup and some speed changes. At the starting line we did several strides and then we started, but the clock didn't work so they had us come back and wait longer. Once we actually started I knew I shouldn't go out too hard because I didn't want to crash. Each lap I picked up my speed a little bit. I fell off the pack and was behind for a bit, but I picked them and passed them and caught quite a few of them by the end. My splits were 84, 2:50, 4:10, and 5:33. I'm too lazy to do the math but I'm pretty sure thats what I heard. I didn't have time to cooldown because I thought I had to be at work at 6:30. Turns out the Jazz game was a late start and I didn't need to be there until 8. Whoopsie.
