Recovery

Happy 62nd Birthday Daddy!!!!

Today we met at Liberty Park. We did a lap warm up and after when we all regrouped I realized how big our team is getting. YAY! For the next lap, I started doing Firemen with everyone but then Bill told me just to run 10 miles since I'm not racing tomorrow. So I did laps around the park until I hit ten. It was long and lonely.

Because I slept in a tent last night and didn't hear my alarm, I slept in and wasn't able to follow through on my plans to run down to Liberty, watch my friends finish the 10K, and do a cool down with them. So instead, I went up my street to 19th east, over to Sunnyside, up to Foothill, down 5th south to Guardsman, to Sunnyside, down 8th South to 13th east, down 9th south to 9th east, over to 17th south, up to 14th east, and home.

Today we met at Sugarhouse. We did a big loop warm up and then a circle of various stretches and core and such. Then we did a 5 mile loop from the park to 21st and 21st, under the freeway to 27th south, down to Alden, to Parkway, up to 17th east, and back into the park.

I went and did a 4 miler after my 4 hour nap today. I went up to 15th east, over to Kensington, up to 16th east, and through Wasatch Hollow up 17th south to 17th east. I went along the curved road until I got to 19th east, then over and down Harrison. At 17th east, I went over to Harvard  and stopped at ZoBells for some water because it's hot out there. I continued along 17th east to Yalecrest, down to 15th east, over to Einsteins and Starbucks, and turned around there and went straight home. Now I only have 2 miles to do tonight, but I might do 3 since I'm hitting 65 this week.

I did 3 miles just to get another one out of the way. I started at ZoBells and went over on 17th east to 13th south, up to 20th east, over to 9th south, down to 17th, and back to their house because I had a horrible sideache. After a mix of orange juice and sprite I continued my run by going back to 13th south and down to home.

This morning we met at Shoreline for a run. We started by running up Emigration Canyon for a mile, and a the turnaround Tomy and Natalie screamed, which scared me to death. Once we got on the trail, our group split a little. I kept close to Nat until we hit that brutal uphill which wiped me out. I maintained my own pace and we regrouped at the drinking fountain at Red Butte, but then as we were going up to the fence, I started to hurt really badly and couldn't keep up with anyone. When I finished I was too dead to do my full 12, so after my daily nap today I'll go out for another 5. The more miles the better, right?

After spending the day doing Zumba with my cousins, I went for another run. I started at my house and ran along 15th east to Sunnyside park, did a lap, then went into the gulley. As I was getting in the gulley I had a feeling someone was watching me, so I looked over and saw my favorite person ever going up the stairs on the other side, looking to see if it was me in the bright pink. Sarah and I did a lap in the gulley together, then went along 17th east to her house for water. After water, I ran home down 13th south and then we went to Baskin Robbins. It was delicious.

Happy Birthday Susannah!!!!!!!!!!!

Today we drove up to Lava Hot Springs to run and go tubing and such. We did a 6 mile loop, some people did the loop twice, but I turned around at 5 miles because I only wanted and needed 10. I ran out with Sam and Dakota, and back with Sarah. Then we went tubing, which was so much fun!!!

I just hit 65 miles. My legs feel it. Bad. Ow.

Today since I slept in, I waited around all day for it to get cooler. Finally when it was nice enough outside, I went for my 11 miler. I went to 13th east over to South Temple and all the way down to the Temple. I ran around the block there, then zigzagged my way to Liberty Park where I got some water and stretched. I did a lap at the park before running straight up 13th south. When I got to 13th south and 13th east, I still had another mile, so I ran over to Harvard, up to 15th east, to 13th South, up Westmoreland, down Harrison to 15th, and down Sherman to home. Yes, very detailed, but painful. I'm glad I had my iPod. I would've died.

Just kidding. I did die. My legs hurt. Really bad. Ow. I'm so happy right now. It hurts a ton.
