Sock tans

today was speed. we did the usual mile warm-up, mile speed changes, then we did a mile, 800, mile, and an 800. I hate speed, and it isn't fun for me, so yeah today sucked. I actually did better than I normally did though. then we did a mile cool down. 

today was the flagpole run. I had Olivia to push with, so I did okay. It wasn't the greatest day for me, but I'm glad Olivia was there to help push me, and I'm sure she was glad I pushed her. we went up past hogle zoo and along some street down to thunderbird.  anyway, when we got to the drinking fountain, there was no water! we were mad about that! hehe! so then we went along foothill and down to 1900 E. this is where Olivia left me. She had to go somewhere. I followed that to sunnyside and down to the East track.

We ran along guardsman to the cemetery where we did 10 continuous hills on a really long hill. By like 5 I was ready to be done. But that wasn't gonna happen! then Bill finally arrived and I had really wanted to stop. yep, well he was going way faster than me and I tried to keep up, but still lagged behind. He and some other people came back around and lapped me. then I finished my 10 (yay!) and went along to complete the loop. I was going pretty slow when Bill came up behind me and told me to keep running even though i was tired. I stayed up with him (at his pace) as we went along 1300 E. when we were going up sunnyside I was dying, but I stayed up with him. I thought I did a pretty good job.

for warm-up, we did a mile warm up mile speed changes. then we did 6 800s. Honestly, speed has never been to fun for me, so this really killed me. I was really tired. I especially hate 800s and miles. Yep, it sucked. Mile and a half cool down.

today was the shriners run. I felt really good! I started out at my normal pace, then I tried to keep up with annie. I felt pretty good, so I stayed with Natalie for a little bit. When we were sort of by the U of U campus, we had to wait for a light, and I talked to Chris for a bit. Then I tried to stay up with him and the front boys. That lasted until I got to the drinking fountain. Then I lagged behind, and Bill told me to keep up with him when I reached him, so I did. I had a hard time going along 11th Ave. but I managed. I stayed with Bill all the way until around sunnyside, then I started to lag behind a bit, but I tried to keep up. luckily we were almost done. This was a great run for me and I'm glad I pushed myself! 

We normally don"t have workouts on Saturday, but because State is coming up we had one. We did 6 400s and 6 200s. After the 400s, I was really tired. I did the 200s, and I'm just glad I finished. It was frustrating though because only 6 girls and 3 boys showed up we should have at least 20 people coming. It was 6 miles.
