Recovery

Today we ran a 15 minute warmup and did the usual drills and such. Our workout was 4x200, 1000, 20 minute tempo, 1000, and 4x200. The first 200s I hit 38, 38, 37, and 38. I heard my 1000 time as 3:52, then on the tempo we started with the giant hill by the stake centers and ran to Center St. I didn't like the uphill, but once it flattened out I did better, plus I did better on the downhill. I mostly ran with Jess on this one. When we got back my 1000 was another 3:52, then the 200s were 38, 39, 38, 38. The track was really wet so everyone was splashing, it was kinda fun. For cooldown I ran the sidewalk campus loop with Celeste, Ivie, and Jess. For lifting today we had hurdle drills, then supersets of hang cleans and front marching planks, box jumps and push up series, SLDB RDLs and leg raises, and 30 second ankle balances. I partnered up with Emily for the supersets, and on the hang cleans we went up to 7.5s! Pretty soon I'll up my DB from 10 to 15. The box jumps were pretty fast. And Emily and I got Marcus to smile, it was great.

Today I went for an 8 mile run with Kenzie. We ran from the WAC towards Lakeside and ran the long way around the park, where there was construction and it was super muddy. Oh well. When we got to the back of the park we ran west on the road towards the lake, then we ran on a paved path alongside the lake. It was pretty icy/snowy on the path, even though it was a sunny day. We turned and went back, then finished the Lakeside loop the way we usually run our tempos. When we got back to the WAC we still needed a little over a mile, so we ran to the stoplight by the event center then into the parking lot and around into the track. We ran 3 big laps on the track then back to the locker room, which was a perfect 8. We went at a really good pace too, and we didn't have much to talk about besides blueberry muffins vs chocholate chip muffins, so we ran a little faster than a conversation level. After, I ice bathed to my hips for 15 minutes. Gary is a genius, he brought hot cocoa mix for us to drink while in the ice baths. Yay! I did my 90-90-90 cores and headed home. Then since my lab was cancelled I got a 2 hour nap!

Today we ran the same stamina run we ran last week. I ran out 5 miles with the same girls at the same pace, Bridgit, Celeste, and Kenzie at 7:10. I felt better about this run. On the way back, Kenz and I went 7:15-20. I mentally didn't want to do it and my legs hurt, but I also didn't want to get raped on the PRT so I worked it. Great motivation, right? Lifting today was really light, after the speed ladder drills since Em and I were the only girls we paired up for the supersets. We did the jumps first, then the squats and inverted rows, then the plate lunges and pull ups. I did my core when I got home later because we were determined to catch the bus.

Today I aqua jogged with Em, Sav, and Vieves. It was great. Jacuzzi after to stretch out. 90-90-90 cores.

Easy 5 to Winco and back.

Brenden and Nelson showed up to my house by surprise at mile 5 of their 16 mile run, so I biked the other 11 miles with them! It was fun! We went down 900 east to State and went on the road towards Mapleton/Spanish Fork, then we turned on a road I don't know and went over a couple of miles. We went through this little forest area, it was a little creepy because it was getting a dark out, but as long as I could see the boys I was ok. Then we went through some neighborhoods and I recognized where I was. I was tempted to just bike up Center street and home because I had originally planned to do just 4 with them, but I kept going. We turned by Macey's and went up that creepy road until we got to Pinnacle. Then they drove me home and I ate some bread.
