Recovery

Today we ran up to Vintage Park for our workout. It was 6-8 1000s depending on how we ran them. My starting window was 4:08-4:13, but I ran a 3:55 with Genevieve instead. After that we decided to pace ourselves. Our next 3 were 4:05, 4:06, and 4:04. After that our coach said that if everyone could hit the next 2 in our windows then we could stop at 6. My window was 3:54-3:59 and I ran 3:57 and 3:56 :) Everyone hit their times, so we did our 2 400s and cooled down :) I've been feeling pretty great about the workouts lately! Later we did our weights with some new medicine ball drills, then Brenden and I went to Yoga :)

Today I was in study hall with Aisha, Genevieve, Savannah, Maddie, Brooke, and Kenzie, so we took a break and went for a run. We drove to a little paved path by the lake and ran on that, but after 2 miles the trail stopped and was fenced off because of the train tracks. We turned around and on the way back we ran down a ramp to run along the beach in the sand. We even touched the water just for fun. When we got off the paved trail after, we only had 4.25, so we kept running out on the road by these fields, which was slightly uphill. At the curve we turned around and went back to the car to get 7. It was a pretty fun run and we averaged 7:28.

Today was a great workout! We ran our usual 15 minute warmup and did our drills. Coach had a few new stretches for us, which popped my back and felt GREAT! The workout was 8x400, which was wonderful because we were expecting 12. My time window was supposed to be 91-93, and I was in the second group. I ran my first two in 87 and 88 with Maddie, but then Jess and Ivie joined our group and I ran the next 4 with them in 82s. My 7th one was 81 and my last one a 78. I ran a 15 minute cooldown with Mikesell and Emily on our same campus route. For lifting today we did ladder drills, then a superset of V-ups, scissor legs horizontally and vertically, with a 30 second back plank. We also had pull ups, inverted rows, Dead Seal lunges, weighted one leg squat things, along with the 60-60-60 abs, obliques, and lower back. I did hyperextensions forward and back, then some medicine ball twists, and crunchies. Then Brenden and I showed off some of our yoga poses in the weight room because we aren't doing yoga today, it's just a class for studying for the midterm. Ugh.

Today I met up with Savannah, Kenzie, Maddie, Bridgit, and Genevieve in study hall and we took a break to go running. We ran to the haunted cabin at a nice relaxed pace. The haunted cabin was beautiful today, we're probably going to run it again on Tuesday and take some pictures. #WolverineWay

Today I finished all of my study hall hours for the week early so I got to go home and put my pork in my crockpot! Then Maddie picked me up and we drove over to the Provo/Jordan river trail at the base of the canyon and ran along that. The leaves are so pretty on the trail! We ran out 4 miles and back, and I figured out that the trail goes through Nunns Park! I really like this trail and want to run it again! :) Now it's time to decorate our apartment for Halloween! Yay!
