Today was my first day back with Plika. So we started with the 2 laps warm up, stretching and drills and my knee was feeling fine so Bill had me go with the sprinters today because he doesn't want me to go straight into the hard workouts and reinjure myself, to ease into it and get my speed back by saturday.... Hopefully. But I was with Jasmine, Gavin, Sam, Dakota and Sophie and we did 2 sets of circuits of 2 legged hop ups, FREAKING HIGH step ups, squats, lunges, push ups, planks, side planks, and fall and goes with grapevine. We did that twice and my knee started to hurt a little on the second set. Before we broke into groups we all went over to the Hill going into the Soccer field to do 8 hills. We were put into groups with our physical fitness and I was with Dakota and Caden, I was a bit worried considering I hadn't run for almost a week but I did pretty good. Especially because I won all of the hills. We started like a race and strided up the hill then kicked it in hard about 20 meters at the top of the hill. After those, Bill wanted me to do 2 300s so I did them in 48 and 49 so pretty consistent and pretty fast considering I hadn't run for a while. Then I did 2 laps cooldown with Dominique and it was a good thing because my knee was starting to hurt. Not terribly bad like last week but enough that I was starting to limp. Then we set up the ice bath and I took a REALLY REALLY REALLY COLD ice bath for 15 minutes and that made my knee feel better. Hopefully I feel good enough Saturday to race the mile competitively!!! |
