Today was a run that had to many interuptions. For all the rest I had, I sure felt tired by the end. It started at East on the track at 2:30. It was the track teams annual fund raiser a three hour relay. The kids get people to sponsor them an amount for each lap their team runs in three hours. We had four teams each with about 18 members. Each member would run a 400 meter lap and then stand around until everyone on the team had completed a lap. Then they would start over. Most of the teams averaged about 140 laps giving each runner about 8 laps, not much of a workout for distance kids. Run a 400 / recover for 25 minutes / repeat 8 sets. They did have fun... After I helped the the teams get started I decided to get some of my workout in. I ran 36 laps in the outer lanes, 1:02 a little over nine miles.Then we jumped in the car to meet the Wasatch Athletics team at Sugar house park qat 6:00. I only had about an hour so I added 8 miles doing laps around the perimeter while Dakota did his run. Dakota needed to be at Olympus High for wrestling at 7:00, we all jumped back into the car and headed there. I added another three miles on the Olympus track while I waited. 23 minutes, not fast but at this point my tank was on empty. 20 miles for the day. I still want to hit 110 this week. |
