Running!

In the morning we ran to Sugarhouse Park and back and did about 5 hills.

In the afternoon we did a 1 mile warm-up, 1 mile speed changes.  Then we did ladders, 200-1000.  My splits were:  200-45(?), 400-1:37, 600- ?, 800- 3:56, 1000- 5:13, 800- 4:07, I skipped the 600 for a little better recovery, 400- 1:40, 200- 39.  Those are about right.  Then 1 mile cooldown.  It was really hot. 

Morning about a 5 mile run, around the VA loop, back to do some hills, and then a five lap cooldown on the track. 

In the afternoon we ran around Sugarhouse.  My ankle was hurting, and we have a race tomorrow, so I took it pretty easy.

We did a warm-up and cooldown, and I didn't bring my watch but I figured it was about 3 miles altogether.  I'm really glad we didn't do a workout after because my ankle was sore.

We wore flats on the course.  I was passing people throughout the race.  I passed one on the killer hill, and one about 150 meters before the finish.  Last time I didn't give myself enough space when I passed, but this time I did and I finished ahead of her. 

A couple of easy laps around Sunnyside Park.  I'm excited for the race tomorrow!

In the afternoon I did my lifeguard 500s with my friend Casey, who is a fabulous swimmer.  I learned how to flipturn but I still need to perfect that art.  I also learned that when I kick I'm not getting any momentum, because using a kick board I didn't really go anywhere, so I need to learn to do that better.  Sometime I want to do a triathlon, so I better learn how to swim efficiently. 

I did about a two mile warm-up.  My foot was really hurting and it didn't warm up.

The entire race was brutal.  My foot hurt so bad with every step, and even though I was pushing hard my time was a minute slower than Wednesday.  I'm staying off of it this weekend, but I'm worried it's bad.
