Recovery

Today was speed. We did the usual warm up, stretching, and drills routine before breaking into groups. We did 1 mile warm up and 1 mile of speed changes. Then we did 3 400s with a lap recovery each. I got 77, 83, and 80. For our 3 200s we did equal recovery, and I hit 39, 36, and 37. Ki and I did laps around the stadium (soccer field=soccer boys. ahhhyeahhh yolo) to be at 7 for the day.

Tomorrow's regions and I'm getting ready to kick some pockets. We did the usual routine before breaking into workout. Ki and I did a mile warm up, a mile speed changes, and a mile cool down. I need to take an ice bath tonight when I get home from the dinner.

Regions. I did 2 miles of warm up and speed changes and strides and such. In the race I started out great, I was out in 2nd. But then I fell back and felt like I was pushing as hard as I could. I did 2 miles cool down on my own just around the stadium. Later, I took an ice bath for 15 minutes with Kiley. We like to FaceTime.

Today was day 2 of regions. I did my warmup with my garmin and was 2nd seed in the 3200. At the start, that darn WX freshmeat grabbed my arm but she's had it coming to her all season so she got a hard elbow right in the chest. I went out in front of the pack trailing behind Natalie. For the first 5 laps I made a Bountiful girl running with me swing wide, and I figured she would die off. I was right, she faded and I heard Bill tell me to make a good speed change to get a good lead on the pack (those WX kids are kickers -Susannah)(Yeah, fine. -Susannah) so I did some good ones and finished in a strong 2nd feeling very sick but very accomplished. I'm so glad I MADE IT TO STATE! I did some cool down and then warmed up for my 800, but then I scratched to be fresher for the Medley 800, so I ran another mile in my spikes because I was too lazy to change them. Avvy started out a strong Medley, she fell as she passed the baton to Sara, but Ellie caught us back up and into 4th. When I started the 800, the Clearfield anchor sprinted past me, but I knew I shouldn't start out sprinting because most 800 anchors are dumb, and I'm not. I passed the Highland girl, and I got the Clearfield girl just before the final straightaway. WE'RE GOING TO STATE!!!! (4 exclamation points for 4 amazing girls - Susannah) I did a cool down with my jingly medals!

Did 2 miles before going on a 40 minute run. Ki and I ran down by Judge, then up 5th South to Guardsman and over to Sunnyside. Then we went to 9th south and up to 17th east and turned around at Harvard and went back to the track. Later we went and partied at a Bees game and almost got nailed in the face with a ball. We ducked so it hit the kid behind us...

Today we met early at the track. We did 2 miles warm up and a mile of speed changes. Then we did 3 sets of 500, straight into a 100 of recovery, and straight into a 200. Basically 3 800s with the final backstretch to recover. We did 2 300s and went to cool down for 2 miles. We went up to Sunnyside park and did a lap and came back. I need to go run 3 miles later tonight, I'll see if someone wants to go run with me.

Evening run. Sarah and I decided to do our 3 miler together so it would be more fun. We started at Sarah's house and went along 17th east to Sunnyside, did a lap, and went back to her house. On the way back, we could've sworn we saw a green bug with a Hello Kitty sticker on the window going down Harvard, so we followed Kiley and stalked her as she picked up her baseball game date. Our detour was excellent because we finished our run at exactly where we started. It was hot but we survived.
