Recovery

Just a run to the fire station on 11th ave and back with Sarah and Dakota. We took it easy because we're lame.

Today I didn't want to go to school because of the field trip for everyone but the juniors (suckers!) for the ACT. At 1, we met at the track as a distance group and I was able to get some good stuff for the track commercial while we waited for everyone. We did the usual 4 laps warm up, stretching, 4 laps warm up, 4 laps speed changes, then changed shoes. The plan was to do 5 1000s, and I was supposed to be getting 3:50s. Well, I fell behind everyone else and ended up only doing 3, plus I was hurting really badly and was ready to cry. For a cool down, we ran up Sunnyside Ave until we reached .75, then as the group went on, I turned around and came back to set up for a hurdle video.

Today we met as a small distance group at Sunnyside. We did 1 lap warm up, 10 strides, and another lap. The others were going on a longer run for 10 miles today, but I really had to go potty and the park bathrooms are closed, so I ran .25 down to the track to use the honey bucket. When I got back up to the park, Taylor told me where they had gone. I didn't have my garmin, so I decided to go to the gulley for a few laps. But when I went in and looked around at how creepy it is I thought about how I was alone. So I backed out and went along 17th east to Natalie's house and back to Sunnyside. I felt soooo sick!!!

Started in the snow, which gradually turned to rain, and then ended in sunshine, although it was still rather wet. I had my garmin today, and while everyone else was planning on 10 miles, I was only planning on 6. So I decided to make up my own adventure run! I ran from the teacher lot along 13th east to 13th south, up to 17th east, over to 9th south, up to 20th east, over to Sunnyside, up to Foothill, and down to Guardsmin. I still had a ways to go, so I went over to Sunnyside park, ran a lap, and came down Sunnyside Avenue to the teacher lot, where I did a few laps around the softball field and teacher parking lot to make it a total of 6 miles. It felt great, considering how cold and wet it was, I guess I wasn't pushing as much as I should be... :(

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!! We met at Sugarhouse park today in the spot where we meet for our summer workouts. We did a 2.5 mile warm up around the perimeter of the park, and I fell behind quickly. My throat and sinuses were burning!!! I blame it on the fact that I don't have a humidifier in my room anymore. After that, I got to the highlame track and did 1 mile of speed changes, which hurt really badly. When we were done with those, we cleared all the ice and slush from lane one in the shady corner of the track so we could use it for speed. I was feeling the burning pain still, so I just did 1.5 mile of speed changes to finish off. Then while Taylor, Dakota, and I waited for the healthy, uninjured people to finish speed workout, I decided to practice hurdles. The highlame hurdles suck because they're all broken!! Impossible to do drills there...
