Recovery

Today we met at Sugarhouse at 8 for a run. Since Bill wasn't there, Tomy was in charge, and the only directions he gave us were "Keep up." I tried for the first 2 miles, but then felt super sick. Kiley and I got lost up at Tanner park, and we never found the dog park part where we were supposed to get on the trailway, so we just ran back down to 23rd east and over to 33rd south, down to Melbourne, and back along our cemetery route. So much for avoiding that one. When we got over the freeway, we decided to do a grass lap in the park to get to 8 as planned. Instead we ran to a drinking fountain then went back to the cars, but the others had finished at 7 so yeah. I'm dead.....

Today we met at Sunnyside park for practice. After waiting half hour, we finally could start. We went to the gulley and did 2 1/2 laps and back to the park. Then we spent the next HOUR listening to Bill talk about a bunch of stuff we could've talked about on the run, then did some core. We went to run the Foothill loop, and when we got to Guardsman Bill changed it to Shriners run, and when we got to Shriners, to the Firestation. I was super ticked off at this point, and I'm not the only one who was fuming. Ki and I ran back along Guardsman and finished our 10 miles in the park, where Bill told me not to train with the team for a week because he wants to see if I want it. Well, I want it so I AM GOING TO GO TO PRACTICE, not sit at home. Running alone = zero motivation.

This morning I went with Susannah to Highland, where we did 3 laps around Sugarhouse park.

Later I went hiking for stake mutual and it was 4.5 miles long. Natalie and I ran the last 8 minutes of the hike, so I'm counting it as a mile. No I didn't really do it barefoot, just in some of my old trainers.

Morning run at Wheeler Farm. Since I was late I did a backwards lap to find the group, and when they were done with the warm up Bill and I ran farther. Then as a group we did 8 strides then 2 circuits. After we did a cool down running around the farm until we were at 8. I need to do 4 more today, so Susannah will probably drop me off 4 miles away from home when we're going back from the movie.

Everyone should go see Madagascar 3, it's great! Then run home from the theater in 98 degree weather. Fun stuff! I went up 33rd south to 13th east, over to 17th south, up to 14th east, and home. Now I'm enjoying my homemade vanilla ice cream! Because it's frozen! :)

Mom dropped Sus and I off at 62nd south and Holladay Blvd. We were to run home from there. I was okay the first mile and a half, but then I completely crashed. The rest of the run was horrible. I'll go do my other mileage later so I don't have to do much tomorrow.

Went out for another run to get to 11. I went along 14th east mostly because it was nice and shady. And that leaves only 8 miles for tomorrow :)

Today I went to Pipeline with Susie. I ended up running alone and my plan was to turn at 4 miles, but I hate trail running alone because I can always hear wild animals in the bushes. I turned at 3.5 and when I got back to the car at 7 miles I ran up the road and along the boardwalk. I love that boardwalk. So much.
