Recovery

So I got a Garmin for Christmas... :) I went on a run, I was breathing pretty hard though, my lungs don't like the cold, foggy air. I went up my street to 15th east, over to 9th south, up to Le Grand street, down to 18th east, over to Harrison Ave, down to 15th east, and home. I'll try to go running again with friends later today to get a few more miles, because 2.5 is not enough, even though it hurt. My foot was hurting again too. I think it was my spikes this time, every race I've raced in them since Pre Regions it feels like something along my arch is tearing... I should find out what's wrong.

Ow. Bleh. Grr. Ugh. That was my workout. I woke up really tired, feeling really sick. Susannah was mad at me and telling me I only had a few minutes to get ready, so I brought a pillow for the car and got an hour nap in. For workout, we did 4 laps warm up and went to stretch. After that, we did 4 laps warm up and 4 laps speed changes. Then we moved on to do 6 800s, each with a lap recovery between. I hated that, I was on the verge of tears, my stomach hurt and my foot pain was moving up to my knee. After the 4th 800, I dropped out. I changed my shoes and ran 6 laps with Delaney for a cool down. I'm going to go see the doctor tomorrow about that darn foot of mine...

Went to the doctor this morning. I have a swollen plantarfacia, so I need to take it easy until I get my arch support thingys. Later, I went running with Amanda, Gavin, RJ, and Taylor today. We started at home and ran up to Bonneville Elementary and up to the field. We went down one of the streets on about 20th east until we got to 17th east, then went and rang Nelson's doorbell. After getting rejected for juice, we entered the gulley on 9th south and ran to the exit by the Bonneville church. We ran over to Sunnyside Ave and came through Amanda Avenue to 9th south, past Nelson's again, and back home along 17th east. Muffin time!

Today we met up at the Highland marquee. We ran up Parley's road until we got to Evergreen Junior High, until we got to a random street. We went up and when the Garmins said 3 miles, which was our warm up. Then we went back the same way, we were supposed to be back at Highland within 22 minutes, that was the goal. I started too fast, with Natalie and Susannah. They left me in the slush, and then I was able to run with Amanda, but eventually I fell behind her too. When we got back, we ran on that route again, this time only 1 mile out and 1 mile back. My foot only hurt during the cool down. My stuff should be here on Tuesday so running will be less painful. :)

Note to self: Don't eat nachos 45 minutes prior to running. I went running with Natalie, RJ, and Taylor today. We started at ZoBell's and ran to Shriners along the route we usually take. We ran a bit on 11th ave to get up to an exact 3, then we turned around and came back. There's no way I'm doing a race tonight, it'll be about 9 degrees. Happy New Years Eve, everybody!

Happy New Year everybody! Today I went on a run with Amanda, Susannah, Natalie, RJ, and Taylor. We started at the house, ran up to 17th east, over to 9th south, up to 19th east, over to Sunnyside, around and down Foothill by the VA, and to the cemetary on 5th south. Everybody else was aiming at doing 6 today, so they went in for a lap and Susannah and I went down to 13th east, over to 9th south, up to Military drive, over on 17th east, and back to Harvard.
