Sock tans

We went to Liberty and ran to the drinking fountain, then went over to the mile mark. Then we did a 2 mile. I was supposed to hit 13:30. I hit 13:50. I tried to just hang on to Abigail for the whole thing, but after a mile I felt like I was stiffening up and i couldn't move. I would try to get myself moving, but my legs felt like they were going to fall off. It was cold! My calves gradually got tighter as I ran.

When I stopped my calves hurt so bad!!! When I started running again just a little later for the recovery they got worse. I stopped about halfway to the mile mark to stretch them. oh they hurt so bad I wanted to scream!

Then I got to the mile mark and realized I hadn't paid much attention to the instructions Bill gave us at the fountain...I didn't know what I was supposed to do after the 2 mile. So I just did a mile because I heard some people were doing that. Yeah, turns out some did a 2 mile. hmm well I know now to pay better attention.

I finished at the 2 mile so I went to the drinking fountain and then got a drink and I could see Sarah and Megan, so I waited for them and we headed back. Then Bill and Abigail caught up to us so I went with them, and we added on a ton while trying to make lights and such, yet still ran up the hill... I didn't like that part.

AM:

4 with Abigail

We went to the oval. We did 2 miles warmup then 1 mile speed changes. After that we did a recovery lap. Then we did 5 1000s. For recovery we ran to the starting line. I was supposed to hit around a 4:20 I think? Yeah, we went way too fast on the first one. I just tried to keep up with Abigail. I hit 3:36. The next one I think was a 3:42, then 3:47ish, 3:47 and 3:55. Then after that we did cool down backwards until the people got mad at us and told us to go the right way, so we did our last little bit going the right way to the 200 start. 10 miles

AM:

4.5 with Caden

PM:

We did the shriner's run as a "recovery run" but in reality it was pretty much sprinting to keep up. People these days. 8 miles

We ran up to the track, then did a mile warmup, mile, speed changes, and then did a 200, 400, 400, 200, 200, 400, 400, 200. I was supposed to hit the 200s at 38, and the 400s at 80. I really wasn't feeling good and with each one felt more sluggish. I can't remember my times but I think I only hit one of the 400s and like 2 of the 200s.

8 miles with Abigail and Sarah!!! I'm glad they were there because it made it so much easier! Thanks guys! Runs always seem harder alone. 

I had a time limit because I had to go babysitting. So it was at a pretty good pace. The wind made me frustrated when I was going against it, but oh well you can't control the weather.
