Recovery

Oh what a beautiful Monday run. Not. We ran up Sunnyside to Shoreline, then we did a new thing where we run up to the Rock Living Room. Literally, UP. I like that better as a hike than a run. We waited at the to for a minute before turning. Coming down, Bill made Faysal and I follow him down the mountain a different way, and Faysal and I almost died because it was so steep and loose and bushy and evil and painful. Then he made us take a different trail than the others which took us above and then we took Legacy Bridge back to the track. I don't plan on doing that run again any time soon.

Today we ran over to Sugarhouse along 15th east and to our white tree. Then we did 10 continuous laps down the hill, around the flowerbeds, and back up the hill. Then we did a grass lap, and I couldn't keep up anymore. We ran back along 13th east. It was long and lonely for me. When I got back I did 2 laps.

This morning I woke up early to go on a 4 mile run outside in the 32 degree weather, when my sister reminded me we have a treadmill. After 2.5 miles I realized I didn't have enough time to get ready for school, so I stopped. I'll start earlier tomorrow.

For our workout we ran from the track up Sunnyside to Foothill and down 5th south and into the cemetery. There we did 10 sets of 1 minute fartleks. I finished my 10th one right after the start, but I finished my lap anyway. So 4 laps. Then on the way back we did our warmup backwards and I completely died and felt super sick to the stomach. I ran very slowly but I finished then did a grass lap to get 9 miles for the workout.

Today we ran on 13th east to South Temple, down to State street, and up to City Creek. We regrouped at the building and ran back the same way, while zigzagging up and over. I kept up with the boys until we started going up City Creek, and on the way down I kept up with them until about 3rd east. Then I missed a few lights and went up and over with Bill. We were going along 12th east and as we crossed 5th south the train honked at us. Yeah I don't want to do that again. I noticed when I lowered my arms that I naturally started to go faster, so I tried to keep them down. We finished at 10 miles right at the gate.

2 miles on the treadmill. I think I'm going to run to Liberty later.

After my wonderful end of quarter early-out at 11 am because I don't have a 4th period, I ran from my house down to Liberty, 2 laps, and back. I added on a little on 14th east to be at 6.

Lovely 4 mile run on the treadmill this morning. I'm starting to fall in love with this thing.
