Keep Calm and Run On

Hill workout at the regions course at Cottonwood Complex today. We ran the regions course for a warm up, did 6 stride, and we ran 6 Bessie's. I felt o.k. on the hills, my legs weren't super sore. But, I do have a sore throat and it was harder for me to breathe today. I really hope I don't get sick this week... We ran a 2 mile cooldown. My arches by the end were killing me. They are really sore and tender and hurt to walk on. I iced them, and massaged them, and I really hope they feel better tomorrow. I only did crunches, arm swings, and squats because the other things irritated my feet.

A.M. speed workout. We were short on time so we ran a 2 lap warm up, 3 lap speed changes. Then a mile, and 6 400's. My mile was not too great. It was hard for me to breathe, and so I felt slower. I did better than I though I would on the 400's. My first 5 were all between 76-78 and my last one was a 74. We did a 2 lap cooldown to get 5. Afternoon, we ran to the gulley and ran 2 laps. Then we ran 2 300's, and I did not feel good during those. I was feeling the soreness of the speed in the morning and the hills yesterday. I did a 15 minute ice bath, and my core, weights, and arm swings.

Meet at Sugarhouse Park. We ran a 2 mile warm up reviewing the course. It was the state course until mile 2, then it was a little bit different. I had a good start, and really tried to keep pushing even when I had a good gap and was tired. My legs weren't so sore or tired, just my breathing was really heavy. I have another cough, again. I finished with 18:37, and my Garmin had the course a bit short, but who knows. I ran a 2 mile cooldown. I felt good about today, and I know that I raced hard. I just hope I can recover fully for Cedar this weekend. I did my core, weights, and arm swings.

2 miles warm up with the team and lots of strides before the start. I got a good start, but felt horrible. My legs were ok, but my lungs were killing and it was hard for me to breathe. I was mad I couldn't push myself harder, especially the last mile. At least I passed one girl before the track and finish. My time was ok, but I wish I could've done better. I did 2 miles cooldown, and hopefully I can get rid of my cough.
