Recovery

Today since it's Spring Break we met at the track in the morning. We did a 2 mile warm up and a mile of speed changes. Then we did 2 sets of 400, 800, 400, the sprinters half of everything. I was supposed to be hitting 80 on my 400s and 2:38 on my 800s. I hit 80, then 3 flat, then 83. We did a lap of recovery before the second set and I hit 83, 2:59, and 82. We needed another 2.75 to be at 8, so we did our Foothill Loop and came back along Guardsman. We hit 8 before the track without realizing, so we just did a big lap on the track to be at 8 for the day.

This morning we met at Liberty Park for Firemen. We did a lap on the woodchips for warm up, then 2 laps of Firemen, the second lap faster. We did a lap cool down and went home. I can't wait for Arcadia!

This morning we met at the track for our workout. We did the usual 2 laps warm up and stretching with drills. Then we did our warm ups for our speed workout, distance did our 1 mile warm up and 1 mile speed changes. We were doing the 400-200 chase workout, 3 sets. I was partnered with Yance and I did a 400 first in a group with Patrick and Dakota. He caught me fast! I got a 1:17. For the 200 I didn't catch him, but after that he was done so I moved into a group with Sarah, Noemi, and Gabrielle, who were partnered with Dominique and Summer. I felt better about being in this group because Patrick and Dakota went out really fast the first one and I fell back. On this one my 200 runner didn't catch me and I hit a 1:18. On my next 200 I can't remember if I caught my person or not. On the last 400 nobody caught me and on my last 200 I caught everyone. We did 4 grass laps plus a little for 2 miles cool down and a total of 6 for today. I'm really excited for tomorrow!!

In California! We went down the main road by our hotel for a mile and a half before turning around and coming back. Love the altitude.

Today was Arcadia! When we got there, Kiley and I ran a mile, then Bill made us run another mile with some strides. At the start of the race I was with the pack but I had a really bad sideache the first two laps. On the third lap I was in dead last and the next girl was almost 100 meters in front of me. On the fourth lap is where I started to feel comfortable, something that should NEVER happen in a race. I picked it up and on my 5th lap I started passing multiple people, including the girl who had cut in front of me earlier in the race. After racing we drove back to the other meet so Tomy and Dakota could race and I did a mile of cool down over there.
