Well its the first day back from Christmas Break and it sucks!!! So for track practice we started with a .6 warm up around the block then waiting for everyone to get back we stretched. Then we went over to the hallway and did high knees, butt kicks twice, skips, lunges, snaps, and tippy toes; all for 50 meters then stride for another 50 meters. We then did wall sits and step ups. Finishing the core work with 8 100 meter strides. We were all broken up into 4 lines. We had to race the other people in the other 3 lines. I was up against Chris, Natalie, and Tomy. On the last one, the entire team raced and only one sprinter beat everyone and it was Nate. Then the distance went on their run. By this point I was at a mile exactly. So the run was staying on 9th south, up until foothill, turning right on foothill and down around that block until past guardsman avenue to the Cemetery across from the University of Utah's football stadium. Then the Varsity went into the stadium and did 2 laps around that and then took 1300 east back to East High School. I ran with Bill, Chris, Tomy and Natalie until Foothill then I missed the light and they made it so I spent the rest of the run chasing them down. This was a good run for me because I really pushed it. This was the fastest I have ever run 6 miles and it didn't feel that hard until I was done and I felt really sick. But during the run I felt great. When I got back to the teacher parking lot, I had to add .4 of a mile to make it an even 7 so I did a lap around the grass and parking lot and did a small lap around the parking lot to get the even. Then we finally got our XC Hoodies XD. I did the run today at a 7:30 pace even. When I came home I did my crunches, push ups, squats, and lunges.
