Recovery

Today for practice we did the usual 2 laps of warm up on the track, then skipped stretches and went right to drills. After drills we broke off to workout. We did 2 more laps of warm up, then 2 miles of speed changes on the track and then 2 grass loops for a mile cool down. Bill had taken Nat, Nan, and Ben on a 10 mile run, so I spent a lot of time working on long jump, then high jump, then shot put, javelin, and more shot put. It was pretty long, but I'm glad I was able to practice a little on the things I'm doing tomorrow for our rescheduled JV Regions because Bountifulofcrap canceled it last week due to some clouds and a light drizzle with a peek of sunlight.

Today at JV regions I did about a mile of warm up, a lap around the parking lot. I did some strides and drills and went to line up for the 1600, where only 7 girls were participating. I should have been the top seed, but I had to get a sticker so I was on the very end. But I ignored that and was glad I had some starting space, so I went out fast and led the whole race for 3 and a half laps, fighting off a Woods Cross girl the whole time. Eventually she fell off, and in the last 200, Amanda started to pass me. I would have held on, but I was already dying and ready to collapse. I worked the best kick I could and crossed the line with a 5:45 or 46, I don't remember. For awards we got candy bars, Amanda a Butterfingers for gold, me a 3 Muskateers for silver, and the other girl a Whatchamacallit for bronze. Amanda and I traded of course. :) I then did long jump the rest of the day, and had a contest with Savannah to see who could make the best jump noise. One of the Bountiful girls who was long jumping for fun joined in our competition, which made it really fun. :) I was so mad at Woods Cross today for putting their state athletes in some events, when they should know that's not allowed. Buttheads. Also, their girls were wearing region champs shirts, even though we won. I really hate them.

Today we went on an 8 mile run. We went up the Running of the Leopards course backwards, then up Wasatch Blvd, past the golf course, and to the church where multistake dances are usually held. I kept up with the group pretty well until we got to This is the Place Heritage Park, but I had been going too hard and died down. I came back the exact same way, and when I got back it was right as my mom was pulling into the circle to pick me up and take me to the dance recital. I'm glad it's over with, and I even got a Fufu Berry Jones Soda from my sister!
