Did I mention that I hate Mondays? Today we did the usual track warm up of 2 verticle laps, stretching, and drills. We also did the sardine one, and that's my favorite one. Then we had a relay, Bill's team against Gustavo's team. I was selected to be on Gustavo's team, and at first I wanted to be stubborn but I realized what we were doing and noticed I was on a team with Josephine, Sophie, Vohn, Tomy, Mickey, Noel, and all those other good sprinters. We conquered. Then the distance runners went out for a 10 miler. It was starting to snow when we started. We ran out the teacher parking lot up 9th south to 15th east, up Sunnyside to Wasatch Blvd. Going up Sunnyside I was with RJ and Sarah, but once above Foothill I was alone in shorts, in a hoodie, in a blizzard. On Wasatch Blvd, I went all the way to Thunderbird to the drinking fountain. I guessed it would be off, considering the blizzarding circumstances and all, and I was right. So I turned around and ran along Foothill to 13th south, and down to 19th east. Going down there, some idiots honked at me and were doing stupid hand signals. I hate it when people do that, pet peeves right there, getting yelled or honked at jokingly whilst running. I'd like to see them go do a 10 miler in a blizzard when it's getting dark. I turned on 19th east and went to Sunnyside, down to 14th east, over to 9th south, and ran all the way in the teacher parking lot to the back doors of the school commons. My hoodie strings were frozen ice, and since I couldn't move my fingers, Natalie had to let me out of my hood. They had all ran around the block for a ful 10 miles, but I didn't know that so I'm .75 behind... Oh well. If they're all hitting 50 this week... Thats jumping it huge for me. I'll go up 5 or 7 or something. Not 20.

Speed at the Oval. Have I mentioned yet how much I despise the Oval? We started at the school with the usual track warm up, stretching, and drills, then drove out to torture. We did 4 laps warm up, stretching, 4 laps warm up, 4 laps speed changes, and 1 lap recovery. I kept up with the group until speed changes, and Amanda and I ran together. We changed shoes and did a 1000. I was supposed to be between 3:55 and 4:00, and got a 3:58. Then we did recovery laps then 2 800s, each with good recovery. I got a 3:13 and a 3:11, which was good because I had to hit 3:12s. Then we did recovery laps and then 4 400s. I was supposed to be getting 1:30s, and I got 1:30, 1:29, 1:30, and 1:26. We recovered a lap, then changed shoes and did an 8 lap cool down for a total of 10 miles. Then we hurried on home for rice krispies and brown cow from Papa John!!

Today Sarah and I led the sprinters on a 6 mile run. We ran along 13th east to the Shriners drinking fountain, and going up the big hill at a nice, easy pace, the sprinters all turned around and ran down, but Sarah and I didn't notice until we were at the top and looked down to see them going back. Losers. Anyway, we went and got a drink and went back to East the usual way we do the Shriners run, and going down our big hill, we saw our fellow distance runners. It was a good run. And later I went ice skating... does that count as miles? Just kidding :)

I. Hate. The. Freaking. Olympic. Oval.

 Susannah, Amanda, and I did 5 laps of warm up. Then we all as a big group did 4 more laps warm up. And then I did 4 laps speed changes, losing the group. My tummy was hurting, but hey, I had just eaten the muddy buddies Ashley had given me, so it's all good... We changed into our flats and did 8 300s, each with about 100 meters recovery in between. Amanda and I were supposed to be hitting between 64 and 66, and we did great! Amanda had her watch, so I stayed with her. We got a 64, 64, 65, and 64. Then jogged a lap for our second set. We got a 65, 64, 64, and 65. Amanda is excellent at keeping pace! I only needed 6 today, so I did 2 laps cool down in my flats. I really don't think I'll be doing the 10K on Saturday...

Played the penny game for 4 miles. I was too lazy to even check where we were going. "This is like real life. The person with the money decides where everybody goes. And everybody is chasing the person with the money." -Bill

BLAHHHHHH! Warmed up with Bill, Susannah, Natalie, Ben, and Taylor. We went 1 mile out and 1 mile back. I was planning on jogging the race, so I took my ipod along for the 10K. I did pretty good staying even. Delaney, Frisch, Patti, Sam, Dakota, and Kim were all doing the water station. The first time I passed it, I got a cup from Delaney and accidentally snorted it up my nose. So I blamed it on Chuck Norris...Erm...Delaney. I cheered for Jamal, Ben, Susannah, Bill, Mel, Natalie, Taylor, and Jeffy. I kept an even pace as I listened to my ipod, running in the middle of nowhere to more middle of nowhere from middle of nowhere. I didn't do a cool down, as I've upped my miles pretty badly this week. I stepped on my foot really wierdly at about 3.5 miles into the race, and my hip has been hurting since. Ouch? I didn't do a cool down, instead I ate the delicious MUDDY BUDDIES Nanna and I made. Then, when we were ready to go, Susannah, Natalie, Delaney, Ben, Taylor, Jeffy, and Bill did our High School Musical jumps off the stairs. I love my team!
