Today we met at Cottonwood complex at 3 to get used to running in the afternoon since school starts Wednesday. We did the usual warm up around the softball fields then up to 13th east, over to St Marks, down to 11th east, and back into the complex. I kept up with Tomy and we talked about what classes we're taking, and about my honors chemistry teacher. After the warm up we stretched while Bill marked the half miles on the course, and we also did 8 strides and stretched more. By the time we actually started we had been there forever. My first 800 was a 3:26, the next was a 3:21, then 3:26, 3:28, and 3:50. On the 6th one I was feeling very sick and about halfway through it I completely crashed and my stomach hurt really badly, and I hit about a 4:40, terrible! I could barely walk and I just felt so sick I lied down in the grass and cried it hurt so bad! :'(

Today we met at Sunnyside park in the afternoon to do a run. Varsity and others ran up Sunnyside avenue and down Foothill to 5th south and Guardsmin way. It was really sunny and hot and I was already really sweaty the first little bit. I made it to the drinking fountain, recovered in the shade for a bit, then ran up to 11th ave and past the fire station to M street, where I recovered in the shade for a few seconds before heading back the same way. I took another drink before continuing back down through the neighborhood and to the U campus, and as soon as I started running up 5th south to Foothill I got really sore and started to feel sick. I kept running and when I finally got to Sunnyside avenue, I had to run on the sunny side (ha. ha. Because the shade was on the other side, get it? Heehee. Urgh.) I got back to the park and did my core and drank my water. When I got home I took a cold shower and had a glass of brown cow, now I'm off to Snowbird! First day of school tomorrow!

Today was the first day of school, and I got a lovely nap in yoga. We met at the track as we always do after school and assigned lockers and got ready to run. Once again I have locker 81, the locker I've had since freshman year :) We did a mile of warm up and stretched for a minute then did 5 laps of drills, BLAST, and bleacher runs. The drills were high knees, pocket kicks, power skips, karaoke west, karaoke east, and finish. We then went to the soccer field and did 6 hills, fast up, walk backwards down. Then we ran to the gulley and entered at 15th east and then did 2 laps in there and came back the same way. Now it's chocolate milk and dinner time!

Today after school was our try outs, so we had a couple of new people, which was great! We started out with a quick meeting and then did a mile warm up and a mile speed changes. After the warm up we got water and a few people changed shoes, and we stretched. We then proceeded to do 3 sets of 3 minutes on, 3 minutes standing recovery. I did almost a full 2 laps on my first one, then Bill told me just to go the full 800. My next times were 3:04 and 3:03 for the full 800. After we did that we did grass loops for a cool down, newbies 2 laps, oldies 3 laps. It was pretty hot today.

Today we ran down to Liberty park and went to the drinking fountain the long way. When we got there we reassembled and stretched, then jogged over to the hill, where we formed into 3 relay teams. Everyone did 4 hills. Then we jogged over to another drinking fountain, got a drink, and split into relay teams. Everyone did 3 strides each and then we had a quick team meeting about morning practices next week. We ran back up to the stadium and went searching for our ice tub, which we found by the soccer lockers, and we filled it up with ice and water and captains got to go first. We also let Dominique in with us because of her leg, so it was Tomy, Natalie, Dominique, Scotty, and I in the ice tub for 15 minutes. When we got out we did the dinosaur walk to the sunny track and laid out for a few minutes.

Later that night Natalie and Jesse had to run 4 more miles, so Olivia and I hopped on our bikes and biked behind them up Harrison ave, across 19th east to Sheridan road, across 20th east to Sunnyside ave, down Foothill and 5th south, across Guardsmin, over to 9th south, up to 17th east, and back to the circle. Nat and Jesse finished their 4 a few blocks before so Liv and I biked the rest of the way while they walked. It was quite the adventure.

Only 3 miles and I'm dying...why do I sweat so much? Seriously, it's warm for me in a blizzard with my shorts and tee. Ugh I can't wait until winter. I started at my house and went along 14th east to Blaine Ave, up to 15th east, over to 21st south, up to 17th east, turned around, went over on 16th east to Blaine Ave, down to 15th east, over to Sherman and home. I've still got sweat dripping off my face... This is so gross! Maybe I'll just go running again at midnight, whose in?
