Just do it

Started the morning with some weight training at 6 am.  10 sets of 2 reps with box squat (exploding up), high jump and broad jump with a 15 lb medicine ball for 5 minutes, ladder speed exercises, and weighted core work.

Mileage run after that.  We went North along 13th to South Temple and then headed West to 700 East and came back to 17th South and ran Easterly back to the school.  My right foot was a bit sore but I managed to get through.  We then did 6 strides when we got back.  I then spent about 1 hour in the training room.

SPEED WORKOUT! We went to Fairmont Park today where we ran 20x400 Meters.  That was a lot of 400's.  We kept about  72 second pace so it wasn't too horrible.  Felt pretty good.  My legs started getting pretty heavy on the last five.

Today was my cross training day and the dumb pool was closed! So I went and used the stationary bike for 50 minutes instead. Holy boring! No music (since they don't turn it on upstairs), no iPod!  So all I had was a little paper in front of me that told me when the bikes might be needed for the spin class.  I also watched the lacrosse team as they ran around.

Just a mileage run today.  Coach led us astray a bit.  We headed west on 17th South and turned South on 9th East instead of 3rd East to make the 7 miles.  We had to run a lap and a half around Sugar House Park to get the total mileage in.  We then did 4 hill sprints which was rather difficult because we all have very sore bottoms.  We did core when we got back to the school.  Tendon is feeling good so I am happy about that.  When you are running for about an hour it's easy to worry about pain coming along.

Tempo run at Liberty.  It's about 1.5 miles down there and then we did a 5 mile tempo run on the inside concrete loop.  He told me and my teammate to go for a 6:10 pace so we did just that.  It was pretty good!  The splits were 6:14, 6:11, 6:08, 6:06: 6:03 which made for a total of 30:32ish.  I felt really good.  Last couple of miles were a bit tiring.  I also had some stomach pain at the end and only barely made it to a bathroom.  We then ran 1.5 miles back to make the 8.

Long run in Park City!  We ran along a path out there out and back.  We went for time since the course wasn't marked. Ty and I went out for 37:30 and then back which made about 10.  The run felt pretty good!  I was a bit worried after yesterday's tempo but I felt fine.  What I did feel though was that my legs were super tired.  No injury pain, just tired muscles.  At about mile 6 and 7 I was really wanting to stop.  We made it back at exactly 1:15 though so we were right on at a 7:30 pace.  Still felt really sick after but it was good.
