am- met ruthie up at the high school at 5:30 for a nice morning run. warmed up with 2 laps around the track, stretched a little and then we headed to arctic circle (3mi). my left foot was hurting pretty bad until i got warmed up a bit and then i couldn't feel it as much. We took it really easy today because of the track meet tomorrow. It was a bit chilly but not bad; i wore long spandex and a jacket. It was nice running at a slower pace.
afternoon- best run ever. we were in hurricane for region solo and ensemble, so after we performed me and ruthie went on a run and kept track of miles thanks to her sweet watch. We ran two warm up laps on the track and then headed out for a wherever-the-heck-we-want five miler. My left foot has been acting very stupidly, it hurts on the left side on the top and sometimes i have to limp run because of it, especially when i turn left. the run was awesome though; we ran past some horses, over a wooden bridge, through an orchard, and as we were turned around at our designated (by a cone) turnaround point the wind hit us and it was raining pretty good. We ran back through the orchard in the rain and came back to hurricane high school. there was stick that had gone all the way through ruth's shoe. |
