First Cross Country practice of the 10/11 season! I was so excited, i could barely restrain myself from all of the excitement! For practice we ran the dreaded and not to mention difficult state course. There is one hill on that course that always seems to bring me down. I am going to try to overcome this hill in the next few weeks, but it is hard. Then we did one circuit and i hate them. They are difficult near the end because you are just so out of breath since you've been working at it for so long. Unfortunally, at the end of the day i realized i had rubbed the back of my ankle raw and it hurt badly. 

Ran at Sunnyside Park and did Fartlek. I had a difficult time since i had rubbed the back of my ankle raw the day before. Even with the band-aid i had placed to help it heal faster, it only aggravated it and caused it to become even bigger and to bleed into my shoe during the workout.

Ran at Shoreline Trail by the zoo. I was not feeling up to running the full workout and risking opening the cut again. Sadly, i ended up opening it up once again and making this large cave on the back of my ankle. 

Ran at the International Peace gardens. I arrived late with my friend but we found our other coach and she told us what we were doing. We ran out along the trail heading North until we hit the end of it, unfortunally we didn't get to run 25 min out that we were told to but we made it up in the park by running through other areas of the park. In total, we ran 5 miles and then did some core stuff and then step-ups.

Ran at Liberty Park. We did some speed workouts. Fridays are the toughest.
