Recovery

Today my Jamba was a Mango A Gogo. For workout we ran 15 minutes of warmup. Our workout was 8x1000, but we were doing so well that the girls were done at 6 :) On the second lap of each one, us steeplers would hurdle 2 barriers and step over the water one. I really need to work on it. I'm hoping to just run the 3k in Vegas this weekend, I want to practice my water jumps with the water more. Lifting today we had supersets of hang cleans and DB calf raises, pullups and crab walks, and military pressers and bench jumps. For core we used the exercise balls to do knee tucks, reverse hyperextentions, windshield wipers, flutters, and leg raises. It burned! It was fun though because Jason, Tyson and I were playing Spaceteam... Love that game.

Today I went with Savannah and Aisha along 1200W to Center street, up to Orem Blvd, back to 800S, and back to the WAC. I did my 90-90-90 before going and getting free pancakes at IHOP. Oh, and I got to hold a puppy :) my Jamba today was an Aloha Pineapple in case y'all were wondering.

Today we had a stamina run and speed workout. It was poop. We ran a mile warmup over to Walmart, then finished our 6 mile loop on a 5 mile stamina run. I stayed with Harley, Brooke, Ivie, and Celeste for 4 miles but fell back on the last one but not by too much. I made it back with plenty of recovery time before the 600, 400, 300, 200, 100 at super fast paces. I ran 2:05, 78, 57, 37, and 15. Then ran a barefoot mile with Bridget. Next, Coach made the whole team go around the stadium and pick up sticks, and after that we made up a cheer about sticks. Yeah we're funny... My Jamba today was Carribean Passion. Weights wasn't too bad, considering we're all racing this weekend. We had a lot of medicine ball core, I paired up with Emily for the sit ups, supermans, Russian twists, reverse supermans, and leg lifts. The leg lifts burned!

Went to Gold's with Tyson, Travis, and Logan today. They all swam but I aqua-jogged for 30 minutes. Then I tried to do homework but fell asleep on the couch instead. Oops.

Vegas tomorrow!!!

Emily and I made it to Vegas in 5 hours, new record! When we got to UNLV, Emily, Vieves, and I ran around their campus for 15 minutes. We went back to the track to watch the 5k, go wolverines! Then we went with a bunch of the girls for another 20 minutes around the campus. Now we're at a super nice hotel, it's faaaancy.

UNLV Invite today! I ran a 20 minute warmup to the Strip and back with Bridget, nearly getting hit by a car and getting whistled at... It was great. Classy Vegas. We did our drills together and started the 3k. I was a little worried because the seed times were almost a full minute faster than what I ran at BYU, and there were only 8 people in the race. I ran the first 300 out with a UNLV girl but I was too comfortable with the pace so I broke away from her and kept my eyes on Bridget and another UNLV girl. Coach Adamson said I had really good form the whole race, which I was really happy about. I stayed pretty consistent with my splits, but on the last 200 that Granola bar from 2 hours earlier wanted to come back up so it hurt and I got outkicked. I still PR'd by 32 seconds!! And my coaches were all really happy with me, so I was happy. Coach Houle said it would put me at a good steeple time :) I'm hoping to go to California next week and run steeple there! I ran a 15 minute cooldown loop with Bridget, getting whistled at even more. Then Emily and I pigged out on Panda Express... from the Strip. We looked like classy hobos. Nobody flirted with us. It was awesome.
