Recovery

Mile warmup. Mile speedchanges. The wind picked up every lap. We did 2 sets of 600, 400, 300, 300. The first set I ran 2:09, 80, 50, 55. The wind was tough. We ran a lap then the second set was 2:19, 82, 55, 55. After that was 15 minutes cooldown so I ran 4 barefoot grass laps.

Today after the half mile warmup and such we broke into groups. We ran 1 mile warmup and 1 mile speed changes, then 200s and 300s. We didn't time them, just ran hard. It was 3 200s and 2 300s. The 300s were actually spontaneous. The wind made life hard. Then I ran 2 barefoot grass laps. Regions 1600 tomorrow, ew.

Well we made it up to Woods Cross for regions, but there was thunder and lightning so after sitting in the school for half hour they finally postponed the meet and as soon as everyone got on the buses and took off it was sunny again. I was gonna go on a 4 mile adventure run around the neighborhood but accidentally took a 4 hour nap...

Today was day 1 of Regions. I ran 2 miles warmup in my flats because I seem to have misplaced my trainers. At the start of the mile, 3 different people had already grabbed me, cut me off, nearly tripped me, and such. It was horrible. First lap was a 78. My 800 was a 2:55. I was so mad about the start, like every other start in the mile this year. Worst event ever. I ended up with a 6:07 so screw it. I ran 1 mile cooldown in my flats before heading home. Tomorrow I have the AP Stats test so hopefully I make it in time for the 800 and 3200.

After 5 hours in the exam room I made it in time. They held off the meet for me, how sweet! I ran some warmup strides on the astroturf in my spikes then started. At the start I was cut off by my own teammates and tripped by another. Plus being shoved by the other teams. It was just like yesterday where I mentally couldn't handle the abuse. I planned on a better 3200.

At the start of the 3200 I was shoved by another girl but this time I fought back and at the first 100M I went out front and took control of the pack. I led the first 6 laps. On the 6th lap though as the Bountiful girl tried to pass me and she cut me off while she was right next to me. Excuse me? Stride and a half before cutting missy! I threw in a speed change and lost her for a lap but on the 7th lap is where the lactic started to kick in and then the Woods Cross girl passed me too easily. It hurt. I ended up 3rd, so I'm going to state. I'll do better there because I'll have fresh legs. I ran 1 mile in my flats before going to Costa Vida with my parents :)
