Recovery

JV Regions is tomorrow, so we did half mile warm up, stretching, 1 mile warm up, 1 mile speed changes, 6 strides, and half a mile cool down. For the strides it was 2 for arms, 2 for toes, and 2 for all. Then I went and worked on high jump with Caroline because my ride home wasn't ready to leave. Tomorrow I plan on having fun, so I'm high jumping, long jumping, shot put, and either javelin or 300 hurdles, it really depends on how the layout at Bountiful is.

Wussy Bountiful canceled JV Regions today because of the light drizzle. Wussies. So we did the regular 2 lap warm up and Susannah and I led stretches and drills. For a distance run, we did our VA Hospital loop, up Sunnyside, down Foothille, and over on Guardsmin and down to the track. As I was running into the circle, Frisch pulled in, and I seriously thought I could document the 1 day of track that he came. I did 2 300s with Patrick and Chester, hitting a 55 for both of them. I did a big grass loop for a cool down and then Tolbert taught me some things about high jump and long jump, since we have a week for Bountiful to host JV Regions again. If we had hosted it like we were supposed to, I would be done with track. They'll probably be sneaking their good athletes in the races just because we kicked their pockets at Regions. Anyways. So yeah, I did some high jumping and long jumping. Now my trainers are full of sand, I think I'll bring my spikes for the sand, because I'll probably be getting a new pair for XC...

Today we distance runners met in the commons for a workout. We did 2 vertical laps, then some step ups, wall sits, and arm swings. For running, we played foxes and hounds. RJ was it for the first round. I had been running for a while before I went down to the A floor and saw him. He saw me run into the red hall, and I knew I was screwed. I sprinted around the corner and he got me, so I screamed. The red hall is tiny and haunted, so my scream will probably still be there for 50 years. Anyways. I went and caught Caden on the D floor, then we cornered Sarah and I tagged her on the B floor. I got Taylor on the A floor, and then the round was over because everyone got caught. For the second round, I was the hound, which I didn't want to be considering I was already in a really bad mood. After running around for a bit, seeing Caden and Sarah every now and then peeking around the corners at me, then I saw them and chased them down the south C wing hall, and at the end of it they ran down the stairs and I tumbled on after, which really hurt. I just wanted to cry there. I got up and ran around the corner and saw Dakota open the locked theater door for them, which really ticked me off. I went down and around to the bottom of the theater stairs to get them, and saw them standing at the top of the stairwell, which standing around is NOT allowed. Stupid Freshmen. They ran up to the C floor, and I went after them. I tagged Dakota, and Caden and Sarah got away, but I found Amanda, Taylor, RJ, Bill, and Ben, and I managed to tag Amanda. A few minutes later, I ran into Caden on the C floor, and started sprinting after him. The baseball team was standing around there, and they parted like the red sea (Because they were wearing red, duh) Then Caden slipped where the janitor had just mopped, and RJ ran by and I narrowly missed him. I stopped by Caden to make sure he was okay, then went down to the B floor. I went to the north wing hallway where our trophy case is, and I saw Sarah. I chased after her and when we were by the doors by the sports mural on the wall, I tagged her. I got the 3 freshmeats that I was super ticked at! I ran around some more, and checked the commons, where everybody was. I told Bill about the freshmeats standing around, so they had to do strides. Serves those little kids right.

Brand new neon yellow running shirt and sports bra with a matching skort! Yes! Today we met in the commons for a small meeting, and skipping the the 2 laps and stretches, we got right onto our run. We went to the cemetery along 13th east and did 2 laps in there and came back. On the way there, I ran with Patrick, Tomy, and Dorkota, but I fell behind on the 2nd lap in the cemetery and at the end of the run RJ, Taylor, and Amanda caught me. It started lightly drizzling when we got back, which gave us time to go home for corn bread and honey butter without getting wet! Yes! Tomorrow I'll be going down to Provo to watch my sister kick pockets at state! Woo!

Today for speed we did a mile of warm up, stretching, another mile of warm up, and a mile of speed changes. Everyone else was doing a timed mile, while Sarah and I had an 800, to be hit 2:55 to 3 flat. I got a 2:58. Then we did a lap of recovery with everyone once they caught their breath from their mile, and then 4 400s. We were supposed to be hitting 85s, and Bill said he would be going for 80s today, so I made sure to stay close to him. I managed to get an 81, a 79, an 81, and a 78. I did 5 laps of cool down nice and slow.

Later today, I went on a hike up Grandeur Peak up Millcreek canyon with the 'family' for our 'forced family fun' Haha. It was about half a mile walk up to the trailhead and to the sign that said 'Grandeur Peak 3 miles' because we couldn't drive in there. Then the next 3 miles were uphill and very rocky and dirty. I wore my old blue Mizuinos that I am still in love with. We had a snowball fight (In May) and ate our food at the top of the peak, then hiked back down. Going up took about an hour and a half, coming down was only about half an hour or maybe 45 minutes. But it was an adventure! :) We just went home and relaxed and watched Tangled, I should be getting snow cones with Natalie later...:)
