One Mile at a Time

Just the afternoon speed work out. Warm up, speed drills and 10 100's. I didn't count the speed drill part in the total distance. It was SO hot on the track and turf.

1/2 mile to start then buddy 200's. My buddy was Owen. We each ran 6 200's. After we stuck are feet in the water system thing at Anderson park where we were running. 1/2 mile back to the school after. There were only 15 people at afternoon practice today!

Monday was the first day of XC camp. We ran to Scout Falls and back to our campsite. Total of four miles.

35 minute timed run from Tibble Fork Resevoir up some dirt road. We iced our legs in the lake after.

Relay race today. There were teams of 6 and each person ran a .35 mile loop 5 times. My team won the relay. On my team was Josh, Owen, Lisa, Mia, Nicole and Preston. Lisa and Mia ran together because we had an extra person. After the relay we had a two mile cool down. XC camp was awesome. There were many adventures, many which included Tanner and trees.

 AM: 5 miles today. Ran to Manila and back. My knees felt good today so I'll have to see how they do this afternoon for the speed workout. I was sore today from yesterdays relay race but once we got going my legs loosened up.

AM- I ran 6.25 miles today. During the warm up I was talking to Paulo and Jared and all the other JV guys left. There was this new JV kid there named Derek who hadn't left but other than that all of them had gone. Jared decided to follow varsity and since we didn't know where JV went Derek and I followed. We ran up the Reaper and headed to Dry Canyon then just turned around at about 3.1 miles. On the way back Jared completely dropped off so me and Derek just left him. My knees felt good during the run.

PM- We just did speed drills. Mile warm up and mile cool down. I don't count the drills in the distance but I do count the 12 100's so 2.75 miles.

4.5 mile today. I ran with Jared, Derek and Sam. Jared had to go to the bathroom super bad so the first bathroom we got to he used but he was taking forever so finally he said we could just leave him. On the way back we didn't want to take the canal so we took some roads above it. Sam ended up taking two steps in fresh cement so then we had to book it so we didn't get caught but we found out we had ran into a dead end right above the canal so we had to cut down through this super tall and scratchy grass. Finally we got back to the school and about 20 minutes later Jared showed up. It was an exciting run.

Ran at coaches today. I ran with Derek and Jared again. We are all pretty even so that works out well. I turned around early though because I was getting this weird knot thing in my back. After the run we ate breakfast and swam.

I have a dentist appointment so I didn't run with the team. I ran 2.25 miles with my dog at a half mile loop around my Stake Center. After 1.5 miles my dog started slowing me down so I put his leash around a pole and kept going. After leaving my dog my pace increased.
