Today for cross country practice we met at the park n ride to go up millcreek canyon to the pipeline trail. I started out way slow with Natalie then we passed some people to catch up to Bill and Abigail. Once we caught back up to them we really picked up the pace. My goal today was to go faster today on this trail than I have ever. Which I did by like 3 minutes or something. But going there I did really good until I twisted my ankle on some rock and I really had to slow the pace down, thats when I lost Bill. From that point on the run was really painful to the finish. When I got to the turnaround point I waited for 3 minutes then some people came and ran by that I knew so I waited for them then we all as a group went back. But their pace was to slow for me today so I passed them and went by. Abigail and Amanda went back before me and were about a fourth of a mile ahead of me. My goal was to catch up to them. When we finally got to the street I was about 12 feet away from Abigail but then when we were going up the huge hill to get the extra that we needed she totally sprinted it I didn't try to match that. Gavin finished the last bit with me to keep me going at a good pace so I didn't slow down too much going up the hill. Then I went to my grandmas and did some of my core, then came home and finished out my core and did my hamstring machine thing and my holding my knee up for a minute thingy. Overall good run that I am glad that I pushed. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/107347331 After doing my core and my leg weights, I went for a cooldown 2 miles so I was not sore for tomorrows race.
