This morning we had our first cross-country practice. We met at sugar house and did one lap around the perimeter for our warm-up, then we did the state hill 5 times, and then we did 5 strides. We cooled down by doing a loop around the inside of Sugar House. I was having trouble breathing, I think it is allergies. Then I went to GTC and did some conditioning:
5 rope climbs, 25 v-snaps, 100 hollow crunches, 100 hollow rockers, 15 leg lifts with partner, 10 candlesticks, 30 leg lifts on the vault with 2 pound ankle weights, 10 back arches with 5 pound weight, 2 wall-sits (1 minute, 30 seconds), then I did some flips in to the pit it was lot's of fun.
Tonight we had another cross-country practice for those who couldn't make it to the morning one. I went to both, and just did an easy 4 miles, one lap around the outside of sugar house park, one around the inside and then added on a half mile. It took me 35:06, I just ran easy with Kelsie and Gail. It felt really easy, I thought we were going alot slower. |
