Ashleigh's

I ran a mile to the track, ran a mile at the track, and ran back.

3 sets of 25 crunches, 3 sets of ten girl push ups.

The right side of my ankle on my left leg is bugging me.

The team ran from Sugar House to the University store (6 mi). At the beginning, the right side of my left ankle was hurting and then the right side of my right thigh. These pains makes me nervous because I don't want to get injured like last year.

The team ran from the JCC up the mountains. It was 3 miles up but geez, it felt like more. The mountains were gorgeous this morning and I was thinking of what a great place to run. Other runners from different areas can't experience trail running that's within 5 minutes from their home. We're lucky to be able to run with a dry climate, beautiful scenery, and cool canyon breezes. 

I was grateful I wasn't hurting, however, on the 4th mile I fell. I just got scraped up and it didn't cause anything more than a little blood (thank goodness). Last night I iced my ankle and thigh in the places they had been hurting the day before and it paid off. Now today I will do the same eventhough they weren't bothering me. I just don't want to get injured this year!!

Ran 3 laps around Liberty. Beginning with the first mile, my left ankle on the right side started hurting and didn't stop throughout the whole 6 miles. I'm very, very disappointed. I guess I will just ice it a lot today.

Minuteman 5k        I iced my ankle last night and on the way driving to the race. Luckily, my ankle didn't bother me during the warm up or race but a tiny bit on the cool down. My time when I looked at the race clock was 25:33. I was disappointed in my time. A few weeks ago, I ran a 5k a minute and a half faster. It was at sea level so maybe that's why there is such a big difference. During the first two miles of the race, I felt really good and was meeting my time goals for the miles. The last mile, however, I felt really hot and my body started shivering.
