Recovery

Half mile track warm up and stretching and drills. Then 1 mile on track, then ran to Sugarhouse along 15th east alone-ish and with Sarah and Dakota. We did 1 road lap, and at our usual 2 hill workout hills, we did each 5 times. Then we did a backwards road lap and back to the track along 15th east.

1 mile warm up, bathroom break, 1 mile warm up, 1 mile speed changes all with Sarah. Then as a team we did a timed mile, and I don't know what my time was because I had my watch on timer mode but when I pushed 'start/stop' it went back to normal time, so after my 1st lap and I didn't have a split, I chucked it off to the side in anger, and I almost hit Patrick...sorry. Then we did 2 laps recovery and 10 200s, in a 5 lap part. For a cool down, I didn't want to put my trainers back on because I didn't have socks today and I don't want blisters. So I did 5 laps around the football field perimeter to finish off at 6.

Highlame VS East. We smoked them! Anyhoo, when I got there, I was very upset, so I did my own warm up, 2 laps, sweats off, and 2 more laps, change shoes. They combined the boys and girls mile, so the start felt pretty fast. For the girls, we smoked them. Susannah took first, then Natalie, Amanda, then me, and then Sarah, top 5! I ran behind Amanda for most of the race, which really helped me stay on pace. The first half was 3:00 flat, and I ended with a 6:03. Then us distance runners who didn't have a later event went to Sugarhouse park and did 400s, I did 6, and the whole time my leg was hurting like heck! Urgh. It's probably something that was hurting today, so I'm not too worried about it. After those, I went and chilled in the tent with Scotty until it was time to go.

2 laps track warm up, stretching, core work, and dynamics. Then the cool peoples (DISTANCE!!) went on a run to Fairmont park, 10 strides, and back to the school. On the 2.5 mile adventure there, I ran with Tania and Sarah, feeling a little sick. After strides, I felt better, so I was able to keep up with the big group for a long time before falling behind, but not by much. I helped Susannah with some hurdle drills because our team is in need of hurdlers, so I guess I'm back in the hurdle business... Anyways. Now my tummy really hurts and I'm debating to run or not to run tomorrow. To go to school or not to go to school. To be or not to be?

Half mile warm up on the track and then dynamics on the football field. Distance runners did 1 mile warm up, 2 miles speed changes, and a mile and a half cool down. I ran by myself because I've been so upset lately because dumb reality people are so exclusive. I don't want to do the 2 mile tomorrow, I just wanna do the mile and go home. But no, I have no freedom.

UVU Invitational today! When we got there, I warmed up for a few miles, and then changed into my spikes for the 1 mile. Susannah and Natalie were in the 1st heat, Sarah in the 3rd, and I was in the 2nd. The whole race I thought I was last, because the pack was ahead of me and I guess there was some distance between the last 2 girls and myself. I got a 6:08 in the mile, and I was pretty upset about it but I only let it hold me down for a little while. I ran a small cool down and went to hang out with my team for the next couple hours while we waited for the 2 mile. After a few hours of Scrabble, pillow fights, long walks, and listening to General Conference, I warmed up for the 2 mile. Susannah was seed 1 in the first heat, and Natalie was 3rd seed in the first heat. Amanda was seed one and I was seed 2 for the second heat, which was way cool. My first 2 laps, I was boxed in and I was trying to go around because the pace was really slow. Finally at the start of my 3rd lap, there was a small gap and I was able to get out and around the crowd and move into 3rd. I had almost caught the girl in 2nd, but then another girl passed me and the 2nd girl pushed to gap her. Then the girl in 1st who held first for about 5 or 6 laps died down and I easily passed her. For the last bit, I was scared someone would outkick me, so I booked it and ended in 4th overall.
