Recovery

Today for our workout we had 8x1000. I couldn't find my pink Mizunos at my house and I forgot to change into my purple ones at the WAC, so I ran in my flats. Big mistake, my plantarfacitis killed and now I have some huge blisters. I shocked myself with my first one, my window was 3:54-4:02 and I ran a 3:38. Then I ran 3:41, 3:48, 3:51, 3:53, 4:02, 4:01, and 4:04. My plantar KILLED me on my last few, but I only went over my window once. I ran a cooldown to Walmart and back with Bridgit, Ivie, and Celeste. These blisters are gonna suck butt.

Today after the team meeting (and a few of us getting lectured for staying out until 4:30am the other day...) I went for a run with Kenz and Em. We ran along 1200W to 400N and then to Geneva Rd, to University Parkway, and back to the locker room. Then a bunch of us went and rolled out in the training room and had some Gatorade, it was red today. Then I got a text saying all steeplers to the barrier :) It was just Brooke and I today since the other steeplers all had class, but I kinda liked having a lot of Coach's focus on me. We just jumped the barrier a few times, but it was great :)

Today it was too windy to do our stamina run on the PRT, so Coach sent the boys to the Golds on UP and the girls to the one on 800N so we could use the treadmills. We ran 1 mile warmup, then I went 8.5 (7:03 pace) for 2 miles and 8.7 (6:53) for another 2. Then a cooldown. We were gonna do it in the cardio cinema because The Hobbit was showing, but it was full.

Later, our weight room had been taken over by golfers so we had to go to Golds again for lifting. I went with Jason and Tyson and we did our pullups and RDLs, hang cleans and inverted rows, jump lunges and DBCTP, and core series. Then we went and sat in the hottub, then swam in the pool, then hung out in the sauna for a few minutes. It was pretty funny.

Cross train pool workout.

Ran 5 easy miles with Savannah and Emily since we're racing at Weber tomorrow. We ran up campus to Krispy Kreme, then down by Ventana and Pinnacle and along University Parkway to Geneva Rd, then we turned and went back to the WAC along 1200 W.

At the meet I warmed up on the upstairs track with Emily. We did our drills, strides, and hair together before lining up. The race went out really fast, I was at the back of the main pack and my first 200 was a 38. Holy crap. My 400 split was 1:19, and I already knew that I shouldn't have started so fast. My 800 split was a 2:47, and my final time was around a 5:50. Ew. I ate a bagel and a Greek yogurt parfait then cooled down on the upstairs track with Emily and Savannah. Then on the drive home we stopped for McFlurrys and I got the Jazz home game day deal on chicken nuggets, yum!
