I woke up and was really happy to have yesterday over with. The race was great but after that the rest of the day was not to fun because I was sick in the stomach. I spent most of my time hanging out with my good friend "John!" I took some Immodium when I woke up and that seemed to help. I went to Acceleration again this morning and they worked me pretty hard. I did long strides backwards on the treadmill at an incline, ran on the treadmill with an incline, squats on a small exercise ball with a platform, and did core exercises for the stomach. I did 4 sets of that and then did some light weights and a lot more core exercises for the stomach. I did 3 sets of that and was pretty much spent. It was a nice workout. It was early enough so I went out for a run. I ran from Logan Regional Hospital to the northern part of Smithfield. On the way back I had a couple of rolling hills and then 3 really big, long uphills. I was really thirsty so I stopped at a cemetery because it was the only place I could find a water spout. If I croked right there it would be a good spot so they wouldn't have to move me far to bury me! The water helped and then I made my way back to the in-laws house and drank a lot more water. I did 2 miles at Acceleration and 15.65 out to Smithfield and back. I didn't push it to much but my pace was at 7:17/mile. I am glad to have my running done for the day. The last two days in Logan have been really good running days for me. A little side note. Jon, Cody, James, and me made the front page of the sports section in the Herald Journal. We were on a cool down jog and I do not know why they took a picture of us. We were already done with the race. Oh well! |
