Today for Cross Country practice we met at Sugarhouse Park. We started with a 2 mile warm up around the outside of the park. Then we actually finished at 2.25 because we started in the park then worked our way out. Then we met up with everybody and ran to the 400 meter hill on the state course. We played 21 there..... I think its great how Bill teaches us how to gamble. So how we play is we run the 400 meter hill and then jog back and Bill gives you a card in the order that you finished the hills. Then on the second hill you do the same thing. On the first hill I finished 5th right behind Bill, on the second hill I finished 4th right behind Taylor. I had 21 on the third hill so the first set. I told Bill that I never loose and I didn't. So I started out fast with Emily, Tomy, and Taylor. Taylor, Tomy and I passed Emily then Taylor and I eventually passed Tomy. By this time I thought I was sprinting but somehow I just wouldn't let Taylor beat me so I totally went all out and I won. I won not only the 21 card game but also the 400 hill. I know now that on hill workouts I should be up with Tomy, Emily, and Taylor. Then since I won that we only had to do 200s now. We did 3 400s and 6 200s. On the 200s I finished 4th right behind Taylor, then 5th behind Taylor again, then 5th right behind Ethan, then 6th behind Sam, and then 4th right behind Bill, then 4th again behind Bill again because it was the last one and they were going all out and I just used whatever I had left to finish strong. Since Taylor and I won the hills today Bill is bringing us prizes tomorrow but I wont be at practice tomorrow so Bill hopefully will bring mine on Monday. During the hills I was really pushing it because I really want to be on Varsity so from now on I am pushing it hard. Then for a cooldown we ran to the cars then I did another lap on the road inside but I noticed I was at like7.65 so I just finished out the day at 8 running around the grass. Overall today was a good day because I was tired but I know that I pushed hard. Then when I came home I took a 15 minute ice bath and did my core.
