Breanna's Running Blog

This morning I ran from my house to a big grass field about 2 miles away. Then I did 2 sets of the circuit, and then ran home. My left shin has been bothering me. If I take ibuprophen it doesn't hurt but if I don't it hurts quite a bit. The run felt good. It was hot outside but not too bad. My time was 32:46. (Pegasus 148)

Today we did the cemetary loop. Me and Susannah ran together on the way out, and Ashleigh ran with us on the way back. My time was 46:30. We ran a pretty decent pace on the way out but once we were on flat/uphill my calves tightened up. They have been doing this the past few runs, maybe I'm dehydrated. Also I think I tied my shoe too tight because my foot sort of fell asleep while I was running. When we got back we did 2 sets of the circuit. It was a good workout, but I wasn't able to push the circuit as hard as I wanted to. This week I'm hoping to run 45 miles so we'll see how that goes.(Pegasus 154)

AM- Today we did a lap around sugar house park, then we did a lap of fireman. Then we did some strides and about a mile cool down. I decided not to take any ibuprophen this morning to see how I was feeling. My shin hurt, and my hip hurt a little bit too. I think I'm out of alignment so I'm going to go to a chriopractor tomorrow. My shin seems to be staying the same so at least it's not getting worse. (Pegasus 159)

PM- Tonight I did a loop around the park and then a mile of speed changes. My hip was hurting so Demetrio rubbed it out. It was very tight. Hopefully after a few more massages it will feel better. (Pegasus 162)

Today we went for a run from sugar house park up to 1900 e. then along 1900 e. to Sunnyside Ave. Then down sunnyside ave. to 1500 e. and back to the park. Me and Susannah ran together. It was a good run. Our time was 41:31. We picked it up at the end a little so we could try to get our time to average 8's but we didn't pick it up soon enough. I went to the chiropractor today and am feeling much better. I also got a massage so that should help. (Pegasus 167) 

Today we had an easy workout. We ran a loop around the park for a warm up then we did 4 strides, and 3 hills, and then we did a cooldown lap around the park. My time was 38:04. My legs felt good, but running downhill hurts my hip. (Pegasus 172)

Today I ran the Murray Fun Days 5k. I felt good before the race, I took some ibuprophen which I haven't been doing, and my legs felt good no pain. They were a little slugish. I jogged for about ten minutes for the warm-up. The race went ok. I ran a 20:56. I couldn't really open up though. My splits were 6:28, 6:51, 7:02, 35. I ran 45 seconds faster than last year so that was good. I think I just got comfortable and never pushed myself. After the race me, susannah, and kiley jogged about a mile and half cooldown.

Today me, Susannah, and Kiley did a long run. We were only going ten but I needed 11 so I did a mile before hand. Then I did some stretching, then we started from liberty park. We ran up 1300 s. to 800 e. Then we ran across 800 e. to South Temple. Then up South Temple to M St. Then up M St. to 3rd Ave. Then we ran across 3rd to the road that goes up Memory Grove. We ran up Memory grove and then to the gate at the mouth of City Creek. We stopped for some water and I took a gu, and then we ran back pretty much the same way but we ran along South Temple instead of 3rd Ave, and on 900 E. instead of 800 E. Our time was 1:37:11. It felt good, and we opened it up at the end. That's the first long run I've done in months so I was excited about that. My hip hurt a little bit but we went for massages after and I think that helped. (Pegasus 183)
