Sock tans

AM:

Today Megan and I ran a little farther :)

PM:

We ran up to the track and did a mile warmup and a mile speed changes. Then Tomy, Chris and I did 2 more laps and went over to the asphalt hill. Then we did 10 continuous hill strides up that. I felt okay, but a little tired. Then we went for our run, I went to 11.25 to get to 16 for the day

AM:

I ran a lovely 8 around my neighborhood. My achilles didn't hurt! :)

PM:

Met the group at Liberty. We did a lap warmup, then 2 laps of fartlek. 30 minutes on 30 minutes off. I accidentally did a full minute on because I don't have intervals on my watch so I was looking off time. Then we did cool down to 8. I felt a little sick to my stomach. Maybe I should stop eating right before the runs...

AM:

2 mile shakeout with Megan!

PM:

We did normal warmup of 2 laps and stretching and drills, then the 1600 runners warmed up. I did 2 miles warmup and a mile of speed changes, but I started later than everyone so I still had a lap to go when they all finished. Then changed shoes and did some more warmup when it got closer to time to start. I wasn't really in the racing mode. All I could notice on the warmup was how tired I was and how much my quads hurt when I ran.

For the 1600 I feel like on my 3rd lap I could've gone faster. I went out too fast at a 76. Then I slowed down a lot and I think the 800 was 2:42. I pushed though and that's all that matters. And Bill said the time doesn't matter much, and it was really windy. My throat hurt a lot afterward, but is fine now :) Got a 5:48.

For the 400 I feel like I could've kicked more but I worked hard. I was still tired from the 1600 too. It was a 72.

Then did cool down with Megan and Sarah to 8 because I had to be home. We did grass laps and then decided to go in the cemetery and do a lap, even though getting to it was super muddy! (we went through the fence) 

My achilles was free of pain!

Today was a good day. We did the shriner's run up to the fire station. I tried to hang with Tomy and Garek. Then we continued along 11th and turned to city creek. We stopped at the fountain and got a drink and waited for the rest to catch up. Bill and I needed more and so we went up along city creek. We were originally going to go 2 miles extra to get to 12, but then we decided to go an extra mile out and back. Then we went back along south temple. A little bit before south temple my achilles started to hurt again. South temple isn't as bad as I remember it. It's just really long and the last bit sucks. But by 13th I was so glad we were close-ish to being done. Along 13th we stopped just for a little for lights, but my achilles would always hurt more when we started again. But then it would warm up again and be okay. Dakota said it was 10.1 when he got there, but I'll round down to 14 just in case.

Today we did 2 laps warmup, stretching and drills. Then distance went to the hill and did 8 hill strides and then we went for our run.

Today we went to Fairmont and did 10 strides, then to Liberty and went the long way back and then once at the track I did a couple grass laps to get to 10. I was able to keep up with Tomy and Chris until the very top of the hill just below the school. :)

Today we went to the oval. I think I did pretty well considering how tired I was feeling on the warmup. We did 4 laps, stretching, and another 4 laps then 4 more laps of speed changes. Then we did another lap and went to the start line.

The workout was 6x800s with a lap recovery. I think Bill said I was supposed to hit them all 2:53-2:55ish. I was feeling good the first one, then as it went on they got harder. But I hit all of my times! They went 2:53, 2:54, 2:54, 2:54, 2:50, 2:49. The 2nd to last one Bill said to hit 2:53 but I went faster :) then the last one I was to try to keep up with Dakota, but he was a lot farther ahead of me. :/ but overall a good workout.

Then I did cool down to 10.

My dad told me today that I can go to Arcadia! (that is if I qualify, which I'm hoping I'll be able to do) :)
