Recovery

After months of putting up with Bryce's everyday comments of "You're slow" "I could beat you" and "Hey Slow" we decided to race home from Grandma's house, 1 mile away. He got a little bit of a head start, but I overtook him in seconds. About 200m into our race he pretended to twist his ankle because he was embarrassed by his slowness. So I kept running to the finish and I beat him fair and square because he's slow. And I got to hold baby Meg. We didn't time it so I just put in a 7 minute. And barefoot because I was wearing my high tops.

BRYCE IS SLOW BRYCE IS SLOW BRYCE IS SLOW :) 

Today we met at a parking lot between Parleys bridges on 33rd south. We ran out half mile, then back to the trail head by Parleys to run on the trail. We ran on the trail until we came out by Thunderbird, then we ran up to Wasatch Blvd and over past the golf course and zoo. We rested for a minute in some shade up behind the zoo before heading back the same way. I got a really bad sideache and my legs started to feel really heavy, but I kept running until I was done. Naptime! Oh, that was the 10 miler.

Later, I was a really upset and I needed to go running to get away from people. I thought that I would just do 14th and 15th east laps, but instead I felt really good about running, so I changed my route. I went along 14th east to 17th south, up to 15th east, over to 9th south, up to 17th east, over to Emerson, and back the exact route. I ran an extra mile on 14th east because I was still feeling really good. It was weird because my average pace was about 8:05.

Today we met at Sunnyside and while waiting we did a lap around the park. Then we did the Shriners run. Kiley and I are racing tomorrow, so we only had to do 6 miles.

I did a 2 mile warm up with Susannah around the park and then we did our strides and stuff. At the turn around point I counted 5 girls in front of me, my sister in 1st. No other girls passed me throughout the rest of the race. I got a bad sideache at the 3 mile mark, but I toughed it out and finished. I ran a cool down of however far. I'll probably end up running later today for fun.

Today I met up with Kiley and Ryan at Draper park for a long run. We ran along the parkway, out 5 miles and back 5 miles. I really like that trail, it was slightly uphill on the way out which meant down on the way back. It was nice and cool because of the rain. Our average pace was an 8:30.

Today we met at the park and ride to go up to Pipeline. The run was alright, except for the tripping. At about mile 2 my foot latched onto a plant and I fell down, getting a small cut on my knee and some dirt on my hands, no big deal. At about mile 6 while I was running over all the stupid rocks, I tripped again, this time I rolled down on my knees and hit my shoulder and arm and got some more small cuts. Tomy and Nat passed me, and I decided to stay with them as long as I could so I could be done sooner, but after about half a mile I died off. When I got back I went up along the boardwalk and back to be at exactly 10.

After a long day in Roosevelt I finally made it home for my run. I went along 14th east, up 17th south, along 15th east, up 13th south to 17th east, to Sunnyside, up to Foothill, down half mile up half mile, along Foothill to 17th south, down to 14th east, home, and back and forth on 14th east to finish my miles.

DANG IT. I'm half mile short. I'll be right back.

5 minutes later. Okay! I'm good!
