Before school, I did 2 miles on the elliptical while studying physics. I need to get back into that again because today it actually was a bit hard.

So today at track practice we had a speed work out. So we started with the usual half mile as a team then the stretching. Today Ben actually came to practice so he was yelling at us during the stretching. So then the groups broke up to our groups. So my group started with 4 strides of total sprints, the 2 with our arms down then using them heavily, then finally accelerating and we did 4 of those. And today, one of Tony's athletes from the University of Utah came today to pace us, his name was Ely or something. So then we did the work out. It was 3 1200s. It sucked. So my first one, on the first lap about 200 meters into it my airway closed up or I swallowed a bug or something but I couldn't breathe so I stopped and rested that one out. But I did another 400 later and my first one was 70 and the second one was 71 which is on pace. Then we stopped and stretched and did the second 1200. This time since everyone did it way slow, Tony had us to it Fireman so I went first, then Ricky, then Ely, then Hussein, then Tomy. So we were just trying to come in under 5 minutes, I hoped we would other wise we would be going way slow. So we went in on the first lap at 71 seconds, I didn't hear the 800 split but I could tell we were picking it up. Our final time was 4:22. By the time we were towards the end we were basically sprinting as the recovery and then going even faster when it was our turn to run. Then we took a water break because it was really hot today. So then Tony changed up the work out again. Instead he had us do a lap recovery and get water. Then we did sprint a 200 jog a 200 and we did 2 laps of that. But our times had to be 35 seconds or under. My times were 33 and 34. I felt good on those and I could breathe way better so I could open up my strides more. Then we did a 400. By this time I was exhausted. My 400 time was 76 seconds which is slow but overall I did everything under a 5 minute mile which is what I was going for for every workout. Then we did 6 strides bare foot on the grass at about 60 percent total speed. Then we were at a little less that 4.75 so I did a mile and a half for 5.25 for today. Then Scott had to talk to me about stuff so as I was doing my crunches, push ups, and planks he was telling and talking to me about things. Then I came home and did my arm swings, leg lifts, and wall sits. Then I did some stretching before I did some major lifting helping my mom do some gardening work. Carrying that bag of chicken poop is very heavy :)

Today since tomorrow is a race, we had a very easy work out. So I started with the usual 2 laps warm up as a team. Then we did the group stretching. Then we broke up into our groups. So I did then 6 strides. First 2 was all out, second 2 was arms down, the last 2 was accelerating. Then tony had me pace Tomy on his 600 by going out way fast and sticking with him and pushing him on the first lap of his 600. I did so and my time was 62 seconds which is a new 400 meter PR for me. Then I did a mile and a half cool down.

Today was a Tri meet at Stansbury. So since me, Dakota, and Caden was doing Shot Put and Javelin today I couldn't do that good of a warm up. So when caden and i were waiting in line to do Shot Put we were jogging around to get a little warm up and it was about a 1.5 mile warm up then. Then we went back to the mile starting line and did strides till we lined up. The girls went first so I could jog a bit more then. But I did not get a warm up at all. So my first lap was about 76 seconds, 800= 2:42, 1200= ? and overall time sucked which was 5:33. That is 5 seconds slower than at the Taylorsville Invitational. So then I went and did Shot put and threw it 19 feet 11 inches. Thats almost a 4 foot PR from last year. Then I did a half mile warm up for the 800 and taht was good because then I did the drills and then stretching,. My first lap was 76 and then my overall time was 2:31 so I pciked up a bit on that lap. Then I did a mile cool donw by running to shot put again but they wouldn't let me throw because it was already finals and that is the same for javelin:( Oh well there is always JV regions. Then we went to my cousins and ate dinner. Oh well it was a horible race, I dont know why, maybe the heat, no warm up, my very tired legs. Oh well........:(
