Today was the wonderful day for the Brutal Orem Hill Workout!
It consists of 5 wonderfully insane hills.. (well they are like 600m long) and boy to they tire you easily!! And me.. I was sick! I have been downin cough drops like none other and we get this workout. I ask my coach if I should still run it or run on the treadmills and he said "do you feel like you need to run inside" and so I just ran outside (even though it probably wasn't smart). So the first hill in this workout is the one up campus, going up past the institute to the top, then you always run back down the hill to cool-down. The next hill is 800 south's hill, then 600 south's hill, then center streets hill. I did campus, 800, and 600 south's hills (so three of them) and at the top of my third coach was waitin up there and I was just dying.. couldn't breathe! I was like gasping for air and couldn't keep up with the team.. so he had me stop and jog around until they were all done. There were two other girls that did the same.. Brittany and Kalina. One reason for not being able to breathe today is that the air quality is so so bad-- Red alert.. so that could have been a factor but I don't think that was the only reason for sure.
Throughout the whole workout we ended up doing 6.5 miles :)
Then we met in the gym to do Plyometrics (boy to we distance runners look way out of place doin "idiot drills." We should hae been doing these a lot but we haven't done them and man we just looked ridiculous and silly).
