Normal warmup of 2 laps and stretching and drills. Then we split into our groups. I was expecting hills, and then Bill said "We're going to go for a run..." and I was like NO HILLS!!!! (Bill) "...in the Avenues." Great. Just great. The hill run.
So we went down to 13th and took that all the way to South Temple, and this time we started at U St. We stride up the hill, and then turn left downhill for recovery until the next road, T st. stride up, recover on the downhill, turn and stride up S st...and so on until we hit 11th Ave. I think that made it 10 hill strides. The hills started out not too bad, and they gradually got steeper. The last one was the steepest. Make sense?
Yeah, it was super hard. I tried to stick with the group along 13th, and succeeded. Then On the strides I tried to stick with the group again. I was up with Natalie for most of it. Then the hills got super steep, and I got more tired, and then I fell back. I just tried to finish, but even that was a challenge. My legs felt like they were going to fall off. They didn't hurt, they just felt so unstable and shaky. When I got to 11th, they all had waited for me, and I got a bit of recovery time.
Then we did the shriners run back to the track. Then when we got back we did 2 300s. I was dead. I couldn't get my legs to move very fast, but I guess that's a sign that I was working!!!! |
