Sock tans

Today I ran from my house to sugarhouse park. i took a longer route going to sugarhouse and followed the road all the way around the park. Then i took the normal way back home. This came around 5 miles. I mapped it on mapmyrun.com 

Today I had early morning practice with cross country. we had to run 4 200s and 4 400s around the track. I was super worn out at the end. I had a really hard time doing them. I am NOT good at speed workouts!!!!! i breath waaay heavier than anyone who was around me. i am not good at that stuff! in PE i ran a mile. after school we ran up to This Is The Place park. I took the shorter route. Then Bill had us run all around trying to figure out where he should have the route of the race tomorrow set out. After he had figured it out, he told us to run it again and head back to the track. I ran about half of it and went back with olivia because my knees were killing and her IT band was hurting. I was very tired after all of that and was ready to just go take a nap! this turned out to be 11.5 miles for me. 

Today was a meet at This is The Place park. I ran about a mile warm up, and then for the race it was some loop around a parking lot, up and down some hills a bunch of times, and running on a bunch of loose gravel. The gravel was super hard to run on because you kept sinking into it. It sort of felt like I was running on sand. During the race, I started off really good and started to crash after the first mile 1/2. I tried my best. when i was done, I did a half mile cool down.

Today was the BYU race. I did about a mile warm up, and then raced. the race was probably around 3 miles. I started off a little fast, but I managed to run the whole way. (that is an accomplishment for me believe it or not.) I ran at a faster pace than I usually would. towards the end, I started to crash, like I usually do on races, but it was later than I expected. I ran through it, mostly because bill kept yelling at me not to stop, and i didn't want him to be mad at me for stopping. I really wanted to be in top 30, but i did better than i usually would so i'm happy anyway. I improved on my time compared to the this is the place park race by 3 minutes! this was about 5 miles.
