I ended up getting a little sicker than I had hoped. I tried to get to bed eary last night but I didn't sleep well anyways. I also got fairly sore in my hip flexors from my workout on the grass yesterday. I played some flag fooball with my 3rd hour PE class again today and then went out for an easy 5 miler during lunch. I ran down into downtown Tremonton, (if you can call it a downtown), ran down main street to the end of town and back to the school. I am trying to make myself familiar with my this area on these lunch-time runs. I started off at 8:00 pace and worked into 7:00 pace without really knowing it. I felt a lot better once I loosed up and got some of the crap out of my body. 37:07 (7:25 ave).
Cross Country practice- I took all of my varsity boys and the three top JV runners on an easy run. We warmed up for a mile and then found a road that goes down into and up out of a big gully. I had my guys do race pace stiders down and up the hill and we worked on our form. We did it 4 times with about a 60 meter cool down in between, each rep was about 1/4 mile. My guys really struggle on hills (up and down), because they are from flat old Tremonton, so I will be doing a lot of work on that over the season. Cooled down for a mile or so, total of 4 miles.
