Breanna's Running Blog

Ran at the Jordan River, I felt horible. I was planning on going further but I couldn't get myself to go anymore. My legs were a little sore to. I only ran 3 and a half miles and it was really slow.

Today we did 2 laps slow with the team and then we had a team meeting. Then we did our normal warm-up of one mile slow and then a mile of speed changes with one lap slow. Then we did 4 by 1200 jogging one lap in between. I am frustrated with my times because I know I can run faster but I'm not.

1- 4:42

2- 4:54

3- 5:05

4- 5:26

Then we did 10 100 meter strides. These were pretty slow because I wasn't feeling well. After my second 1200 I started feeling dizzy and kind of got a head ache. I don't know why my times are so slow. Last time I did this workout I kept them all under 5 minutes. I was supposed to try and do them at 6 minute pace but I couldn't. It was a little windy so that may have made the times slower but not by that much.

Today we had a really good run. We ran from the track up to guardsman, then across on guardsman till the road turns and goes past the Huntsman Center. We turned at the Huntsman Center and ran behind it and then up to Legacy Bridge. Then we ran the first 6 miles of the Salt Lake Marathon course. From there we ran up 2100 s. to 1900 e. At 19th we cut across to 8th south and then back down to the school. I did it in 1:31:14, Which is just over 8:30 miles. I ran with Clayton most of the time. My legs felt fine but I was feeling sick because I ate to close to the workout, and I got a sideache for the last 2 and a half miles. It was a fun run except it rained on us really hard from about mile 1 to mile 4.

Today was a good run, we ran from the school down to liberty park on 900 so. then we jogged over to the drinking fountain by the intersection of 1300 so. and 700 e. We waited there for the rest of the group but after 15 minutes we decided to go without them. We did to laps at just under 7 minute pace, then we went back to the school by running up 1300 e. till 1100 s. and then across 1100 till 900 and then back up to the school. My total time was 47:38. I was feeling sick today and went home for 3rd and 4th period but then came back for workout. I felt kind of sick during the workout but not too bad.

This morning we ran from the track up sunnyside till wasatch. Then we ran across wasatch till about 1700 s. We ran down 1700 s. to 1900 e. and then we ran on 1900 e. to 800 s. and back to the school. It was a good run but my feet were hurting because of the new shoes I tried. It ended up being 5 miles.

This afternoon we ran from the track up to 1900 e. Then across on 1900 e. to 2100 s. Then we ran down 2100 s. and did a lap around the outside of sugarhouse park. Then we ran back to the school on 1500 e. It was 7 miles. My feet were hurting again because of the shoes, but Im not going to wear them any more. It took me 1:01:38.

Today I warmed up just over a mile and did some strides. Then I ran in the mile. I got a bad start and was boxed in at the beggining. My splits were 1:23, 1:33, 1:39, 1:28. My final time was a 6:03. It was an okay race, but I hope to do better tomorrow. Then we ran in a coed 4x800. Im not sure my time, but I think it was just under 2:50. It was a pretty good race but I ran alone for the first half and then was pushing with another girl for the second lap. I was happy with my races considering tired legs from previous workouts. I hope tommorrow I can run faster.

Today I was running in the 1600 of the distance medley (1200, 400, 800, 1600). I warmed up jogging about a mile and then I did about a mile with strides. The race went well. I ran a 6:06 which was slower than yesterday, but I was alone the whole time and didn't have anyone pushing me. My splits were more even today. I ran a 1:22, 1:35, 1:37, 1:29. I felt better about this race because I didn't let my third lap get too slow. Then I was running in a 4x800. I ran about a 2:50. I was the second leg and me and a girl from Judge started at the same time. She stayed with me for the first 500 meters, but with 300 to go I started to pick it up and she didn't stay with me. Then with 100 meters to go I kicked which is a first. I need to work more on my kick because I was outkicked in all my races but the 4x800. Overall the meet was good, I just need to improve my times.

This afternoon I went for a run. I ran on the track. I ran two miles warm-up. 8:30 then 7:26. Then I did 2x300 walking 100 meters in between (54, 53). These felt good I was trying to focus on switching into a faster gear on these. Then I did 10x100 walking about 40-50 meters in between. I did these in about 14-15 seconds. After the 5th one my right hip started hurting but I pushed through it. Then I did a mile cooldown in 7:36. The total time for the whole workout was 27:45. It was a good workout to end the week with.
