Recovery

Trail run up Pipeline this morning with the team from Illinoise. I ran with Suzette, Patrick, Maggie, and Becca up the steep hills. Bill decided to have everyone take a different route than usual, so at our first split in the path, we all went up instead of straight. Once we reached the road at the 3 mile mark, we turned around and came back as we were told. We all sat in the creek afterwards, which was freezing but quite refreshing. Patrick, Amanda, and I all had near death expiriences, Patrick almost fell down the hill but managed to grab a tree, Amanda was attacked by a bear (Just Kidding, she just fell) and I was chasing my flip flop down the creek. How dumb of me.

Practice at Cottonwood Complex today. We ran a warm-up around the baseball fields and around the block near the Complex. We did a ladder run on the Regions course, 1 minute on, 1 minute off, 2 minutes on, 2 minutes off, 3 minutes on, 2 minutes off, 2 minutes on, 1 minute off, 1 minute on. (Or something like that, I'm really not sure...) I felt sick the whole workout, I really wanted to puke as I came through the finish area of the workout, remembering Pre-Regions all too well :) We ran a cooldown, just a big loop around the Complex. Then I played on the playground with Susannah and Sarah until Amanda was ready to go. :)

Trail run up Shoreline this morning. Delaney and I were both determined to do more running then usual, so we started before Bill arrived. While running up, we found a huge, circular platform. We stalled for 10 minutes and had a dance party! Then decided to keep running. We were going up the road by Red Butte Gardens when the team caught us, then the trail was closed so we ran back. I've never done that full run with the team ever, as I'm always getting lost. Maybe next time the trail will be open.

Light workout today, 2 laps at Liberty Park and a couple of strides. I hope to do well in the Draper Days 5K tomorrow.

Arrived in time to get a mile and a half warm-up in. I ran the 5k, pushing hard to keep up with Lisa. I saw a couple of corner cutters, but I beat them. :) Afterwards I ran a mile and a half cool-down. Then went to einsteins for bagels with Mom and Susannah. Then we dropped off a baby gift at our cousins house, then headed over to Ikea for furniture. We met up with Bill, Kim, Taylor, Dakota, Sam, and Luke at Ikea, so while the adults shopped around, us ridiculous kids were playing with toys and drifting in shopping carts. That was my first time to Ikea ever without getting kicked out! :) AKA my second time overall. :)
