Sock tans

1st track thing today. We ran (excuse me, sprinted) a block lap around East. We did squats, lunges, sit-ups, planks, balancing things, all that type of stuff in the Weight room. Then the cross country people went out for the actual run. I ran 20 minutes up Sunnyside and back. We got to about where this is the place heritage park is, up just a little further. So probably I got to 4 miles for the day. 

Today we ran to sugarhouse. I tried to stay up with the group. I stayed up with them all the way until we got to sugarhouse. then I started to fall behind. I did a lap around. The faster group went somewhere else and did 10 miles. I didn't want to. I tried to keep up with Annie, Sam and Jesse, but they were going too fast. I was the first one to fall behind, but I could tell Jesse was tired too. She still is amazing, even with her hip. She started to lag off a bit as well, but she was still in front of me (way to go Jesse!) Maggie was up there too. she was going at around my pace maybe a little faster, but she kept me going, even though she was on the other side of the street. (thanks maggie!) then she went off somewhere along the way and so did annie and sam, so when I got back it was just me and Dakota, then Maggie turns up in her car (?????) then Sam and Annie come back and say they went somewhere with lots of hills and all that stuff. Maggie it turned out went home and drove to East. 6 miles.

So today seemed easier at first but then got harder. we ran up to the track and did lap around w/ 50 m butt kicks? and strides (50 m), then benches where we ran up and down the stairs on the bleachers, and started another lap, each varied with butt kicks, lunges, high knees, grapevine, walking on toes, power skip type things, skipping? with a little stutter, and that stuff (all 50 m and strides after for 50 m). Then we went over to the hill with the big K on it and sprinted up it and waked backwards down, turned around and jogged back to the start. we did those 10 times. then we went up to sunnyside and did 2 big laps around and came back. I was tired going up there so I ran slow and I missed a light, so I was with Patrick and Caden at the light. I was gonna run with them but they didn't want to run, so I was by myself. I saw them running later though (good job!). I so wanted to quit and just walk, but I didn't. I probably should've run faster, but I didn't have much energy. I'm just glad I finished. When we got back to East, we did a lap around the field to make it 7.
