Today practice was canceled as a team because they just got back from regionals and we have the "vertical mile" on wednesday. So I ran on my own today.. I just did an out and back up 8th south.. so I got some good uphill for a bit then on the way back some wondrous downhill! I ran for 24 minutes and went just over 3 miles today.
Sadly enough my calves are extremely tight.. just from the little race the other day.. so I took advantage of my resources and got them worked out... can I just say painful! I iced them afterwards and now they feel quite a bit better :)

I'm still stuck in the boat of only being able to go 20-30 min each day this week so.. today I went  20 (just guessin on the miles) and went on an hour cruiser bike ride with Jaynanne and Nelson. It was a trail I have never been on and I had no idea that it was there... it was a paved trail that goes down along Utah Lake... it was cool but can I just say it was freezing. It felt great while I was running, I actually got hot so I was just ridin in shorts and a t-shirt.. yep I thought my hands were going to fall off! Well I survived.. just so you know :)

Today can I just say it was..hmmm... Brutal!! We did the "Vertical Mile" to see how everyone was doing at the end of the season before we took our break (even though it is only a one week long break but ya know). I technically wasn't supposed to run the vertical mile, not for time at least, but when you are with the team and they are all pushing it and you are keeping up with some of them and it feels ok (hurty and hard to breath but ok) then I just had to keep going. I ended up going only 8 seconds slower than the time we did it and the begining of the season and I haven't been able to run fast or hills or nothin for months so in comparison so what I have been able to do.. I did pretty well. I was hackin up my lungs afterwards but ya know how it goes :)

Afterwards I went on a bike ride just extremely slow one. I went with Jaynanne and we went exloring through these neighborhoods and saw some freakin huge houses! I think I saw the biggest house I've ever seen in my life. Today was probably one of my most adventurous and explorative bike rides so that made it fun. We were out just cruisin along forever we kind of forgot what time it was... we went from 2:30 to 4:40 yep that was pretty long but it was fun so I didn't even notice

We are now on our break so we aren't supposed to run for this week so today I went on a bike ride.. yep once again :) Today it was me and Nelson... We did a loop from the school, down onto the provo parkway headed toward utah lake but we got off onto Geneva Rd and looped through a neighborhood and back to uvu. It was fun but a bit chilly. We went for an hour and went about 11.5 miles so it's not like we were flyin I was just takin it easy since we aren't really supposed to do much this week but I had to take advantage of the good weather for it being november eh!
