Well today, my ankle again was hurting pretty bad and really consecutively throughout the entire run. Anyway, I went to practice with Bill today after school. We started with the lap around the block for warm up, then we did walking calf stretch, walking quad stretch, side lunges, and some other thing that I don't know the name of. Then we broke in to groups and did our own workouts, the Distance started with 3X1 minute step ups, those felt way easy and did not aggravate my ankle. The run today was running down along 1300 east until 1700 south, turning west until 11th east, going down to 2100 south, turning west and going until we got to fairmont park. I started out with the girls, but they were going a bit to slow for me so I sped up and started getting distance on them. I noticed that Sarah S was staying with me. We averaged a 7:25 pace going to the park, when we got their we did not see anyone so we stopped and stretched and gave my ankle a rest. Then everyone arrived like 10 minutes later, at the park we did 10 strides. My ankle was not hurting on these much, it was still noticeable but not nearly as severe as it was just going their. These strides averaged our pace to a 7:02. Going back to the school, since I only needed 6 for the day, I took 9th south all the way back and up the big hill at 9th and 9th. Bill said when I get to six though, I can stop and walk the way back, luckily I got to six right before the hill:) I ran the way back with Sam and Sarah S and we averaged a 7:08 pace for the whole run. Good Job Guys!! Then when I got home I iced my ankle for 20 minutes and currently have the ankle brace on it. Hopefully it feels better by Saturday for the BYU indoor track meet!! |
