Sock tans

Today we did Shriners run. We went along 13th to President's circle and throught the U campus on the way there, turned around at the fire station and went back the normal way. 6 miles. I felt short of breath for pretty much the whole run, and my legs felt really tight.

My alarm didn't go off this morning, I set it for PM instead of AM by accident and was late for first period. :( I feel really bad, I was gonna meet Eleanor for a run.

Today we did track warmup of vertical laps, stretching and drills, then distance went to the weight room and did squats, lunges, calf raises, and plankie thingies (IDK what to call them). Then we went for our run. We went along 13th to 21st, then down to 900 and over to 900th then back up to the school.

Today we had track again, we did vertical laps and then stretching and drills. Then we went up to C floor and did 10 stride things focusing on form. Then the strides took too long so we skipped core because it was getting too late. We went to sugarhouse via 13th, did 2 laps, and back along 15th, and down 9th to the school. I felt pretty crappy and tired. Lethargic.

Today we did track again, vertical laps, stretching and drills. Then we did our ab workout that made my abs feel like they were going to split apart. I've started doing core again but I'm not that strong yet. Then we went down to Liberty and went short way to the fountain. We got a drink then went to the mile, and did 2x 2 mile tempos with an 800 recovery back to the mile mark. On the first one Bill kept telling me to relax/slow down. It just felt so slow! I think we came through the mile at 6:31? And I didn't feel like I was pushing! Then again it was slightly downhill for that part but still... Bill told me to slow down and so we did and our little group got 13:47. Then Bill paced it and we were even and our splits were 3:25, 6:51 (3:26), 10:17 (3:26), 13:41 (3:24). It was even easier that way. I was surprised I felt so good because lately I haven't felt good at all. And what's funny is we were just running it today, and once upon a time (ahem, freshman year) I was racing and only got 7 seconds faster. :) Then we went back to the fountain and then back up to the school. Early bedtime? I think so.

Apparently I spaced out yesterday and missed the part about no practice today...so I ran with Eleanor! We did a nice and easy run up to the zoo and took Wasatch to some street and then back to 13th and down to 19th. Then over to 9th, back down to Eleanor's house :)

So today I was really busy.... I had a baby shower I had to go to in the morning that lasted longer than I anticipated and I had to do chores and homework, then watch my sister and finally go to work. So when I got off work I went up to the treadmills and ran exactly 3 before they closed :) I felt tight and my hips were sore/hurting, probably from ice skating for so long.
