So today for XC practice it was supposed to be only about a four mile day. Which it wasn't at all. So we started by running from east track down to 13th east and along that until about 17th south. We went along 17 south until we got down to 9th east or some street close to that. By this time Tomy Susannah and I broke away from the group a little so we couldn't hear what they were yelling at us to turn so we were just guessing. So then from 9th we went on that until we got to 21st south. We stayed on 21st south until we turn on some side street and went into Fairmont Park In Fairmont Park we stretched while waiting for the rest of the group to get to the park. When everyone was there we did 10 100 meter strides. I did them all progressively getting faster. So my first one was my slowest and my last one was my fastest. I felt way good all through the strides and running there. Going back is a different story. So we left the park and I started to feel sick so I slowed down a bit. I was watching to see where Bill turns but I didn't see the exact street where he turned so I went from Fairmont Park until 9th and 9th. I guess they turned on another street so they didn't have to go up that hill, but I didn't:) So about halfway up the hill I met up with Jared and we ran the rest of the way up the hill with me. We progressively got faster up the hill to get some strength work in for today. So we met up with the rest of the group on 13th east but we didn't want to wait for the light so we turned on the street that East is on and we went up on 8th south instead of 9th south. Then we ran back up to the track and got back at the same time as everyone else. When I got home I was at 6.5 miles and I wanted even mileage so I did a half mile on my own. I ran from my house a little bit past 21st south and turned back and came back the same way so I could have 7 miles for the day. |
