Breanna's Running Blog

This morning when I woke up I was pretty sore. I decided to go with my parents up to Jeremy Ranch Rd. and run. I just went for an easy 4 miles. We didn't get started till about 11 so it was really hot. I took it easy and stopped in the shade a few times to stretch. My time was 37:03, so 9:15 pace. It was sort of weird. When I started running my legs started itching like crazy, about three quarters of a mile in I stopped to scratch them and they were fine after that. That's never happened to me before.

Today we went for a run from sugarhouse park up to the trail by the mouth of Parleys and back. This is the way we went:

It was just over 7 miles. It took me 1:05:38. It was a really hard run with lots of uphill. I'm still sore from wasatch back so running downhill just hurt. Me and Susannah ran together most of the time. It was pretty hot out too, but other than that it was a good run. (pegasus 118) 

AM- This morning we did a loop around the park for the warm up. Then when we got back we did basically the same workout she does here but not the hurdle part.  http://track.flocasts.org/videos/series/view_video/249-workout-wednesday/64864-episode-7-shalane-f  Then we did a 3x25 crunches and 3x15 pushups and a 2 mile cooldown. After watching this clip I was amazed at how hard she worked and it helps me realize there are lots of other things I can be doing to get better. The circuit was really hard for me obviously I need to work on more anaerobic threshold stuff.

PM- We did a loop around sugar house park for the warm-up. Then we did 3 laps of speed changes and one lap slow. Then we did 3x800. My times were:

1- 2:58

2- 2:53

3- 2:52

We jogged one lap in between each one. They felt really good. My legs started to feel it on the last one. Then we jogged in the park for a little over ten minutes for a cooldown. I'm way ahead for my miles this week. I'll try to take it easy but I will probably hit at least 45 maybe 50. (Pegasus 128)

Today we ran from Sugar House park out on 1500 E. to 400 S. and then back. Me and Susannah ran together most of the time. It was just over 6 miles. My time was 48:54, so about 8 minute miles. My leg was hurting on the way back I think from the down hill. When we got back we did a abs circuit and 3x15 pushups. (Pegasus 134)

Today for practice we did one lap around the perimeter of the park for a warm up. Then we did some fartlek. We did one minute on and one minute off for ten minutes. Then we finished the lap we were on for our cooldown. It ended up being 6 miles. I felt really good the workout seemed pretty easy to me. Our total time was 48:35 so just over 8 minute pace.(Pegasus 140)

Today we just went for an easy two laps around sugar house park. My legs are very very sore from some of the drills we did yesterday. Hopefully they will be better for the 5k tomorrow. Me and Susannah ran together. My time was 35:24. (Pegasus 144)

This morning I ran the Navajo Hogan 5k. My legs were very sore before the race, but the ice bath I took last night seemed to have helped. I jogged about a mile before the race with a few strides.It was a very flat course. Me and Susannah were together for about half of the race, but then one of the streets we turned onto had a slight uphill and Susannah pulled about twenty meters ahead of me. I should have fought to stay with her harder, but I didn't. Other than that it was a good race. My time was 20:47. The course was about 100 meters long so that would make my time about 20 seconds faster. In the drawing I won a bike so that was pretty cool.
