just for the run of it

painful run and painful arm wo

calves still hurt but getting there. good run with the girls then abs and hips. 

just haven't really been feeling good at all. weights and abs and hips.

did 3 miles and then 5x150m strides with equal recovery then finished my mileage by myself. abs and hips.

3.5 with mario and brynlee than the rest by myself. the last part felt really good and i'm excited to race tomorrow. did some upper body stuff and abs. 

mile wu then race. started out too fast and died... weird racing such a short distance again. glad i raced though to gain some more confidence for track. did a sick cool down by the mtc and provo temple. 

ran a loop with the kicker and jail trail which was pretty fun. felt pretty good. abs&hips 

mile wu then 3 sets of 3x300m @goal "indoor" mile pace. ended up hitting 58&59s consistently which was about 5:08-5:15ish pace so that wonderful. learned though that cafe rio isn't exactly a good workout fueling food. 2 mile cd and abs&hips.

some good recovery with bryn. abs&hips 

run didn't feel too long and had an epic snow (well slushy) war with watson at the end lol. did some lower body weights, abs&hips 

8x1 min pick ups at 2 mile pace. felt good, some of them i probably could've gone a little faster, but still some dope speed. going across the gulley with the pick ups killed my legs. good cd with watson even tho my legs wanted to die after we went through the gulley again haha. medium mileage is starting to feel better, hopefully i get more used to it by the time im running 9 lol. abs&hips 

abs&hips then met at lehi high school did the luscious pony loop which included good ole country road (: finished will a lil bit of turf running. felt tired at first but actually realized that nothing has really hurt in awhile #blessed

after a rough night of sleep (more like two 2 hour naps), running was kinda rough and my calves felt like bricks until i stopped to stretch. other than that had some tasty hot chocolate from kneaders and always enjoy running with the girls 💗

low mileage+arm wo+abs+hips

did mile warm up then wo was 5x800 at 2mile pace. calves felt tight on the wu but they're usually fine so i didn't think much of it but 3rd set in was rough. stood out 4th and did the last one but the last 200 it was like my calves hit a wall. i biked for a cool down. shoutout to collin cause he worked on my calves pretty good, they're stubborn little guys.... hopefully theyll be fine before the weekend, just frustrated cause i've never not finised a speed workout. 

kinda frustrated cause i had to go ultra slow cause going fast hurttt. ended up just doing 5 and biking for 20 min. hopefully calves are gonna do better tomorrow. 

did 3 mile wu and wanted to stop and stretch like a billion times but i hate doing that to the girls so i just grinded through. i think my calves are just not recovering right so jamie told me bike the rest. did speed on bikes which was 2x60-90-30 sec pickups with minimal rest and then longer rest between sets (don't really care to put all the numbers). it was killer and i really pushed myself. finished biking to 45 min, then some lower body lifting minus calf raises cause that would be a problem lol. did abs and stuff and yeah, just gonna cross train tomorrow. 

today i tell a sad tell of gannicus:

her calves hurt dearly so she knew she shouldn't run. she wanted to go aqua jogging, it seemed it could be fun. she called her local gym, they said there would be room to swim. she got up early to get a lane, but the drive over was extremely insane. her car spun out with a 180, luckily the cars she evaded. finally she arrived but all was not right, there was not a parking space in sight. she tried here and over there, but there was too much snow for her tiny car to bear. with a spot of luck, she found a space, then went inside to find there was a swimming race. somehow prepared she had workout attire, however she didn't want to bike, she was tired (of it). reluctantly she got on with her inadequate shoes, the first 10 min she didn't want to move. however the time seemed to pass fast, it was finally 60 min at last. she was good girl and did her abs, then drove home although she wished she had a cab. from this story we learn that running is life, it literally causes so much less strife.

run was ok until it kinda hurt then turned around. got back and biked 37 min, then cried my way through a rollout. talked to jamie and something's just not right, gonna take the week off and cross train and not racing this weekend. rip to my sanity.

bike wo was 15 min warm up then 10x1min pickups @mile effort with 90 sec rest. hard wo but i pushed myself. finished to 75 min then abs&hips. 

biked 75 min with 6 sets of 2min sit 1min hover 2min standup then 2min rest. more recovery than anything but nice to break up the time. did an upper body arm wo and abs and hips. 

so biked outside today cause the weather was splendacious and it helped brighten the mood a lil. wo was 8x3min rolling hills with the 2min downhill. cd for 60 min. jamie said i can probs start running again on monday so fingers crossed. shoutout to everyone racing tomorrow, ill cheer ya on. 

so worked out earlier today so i could go watch the meet tonight. did 50min biking with 3x10min downhills, starting with really high resistance. afterwards did an arm wo and abs&hips. shoutout to my ma for coming with me. 

did abs then went aqua jogging with hannah for 30 min. got on bikes for speed did 6x90sec pick ups with equal rest. good workout and cooled down for 40 min. 70 min saturday at its finest. 

so pretty much really great cause i got to run a mile today! hurt a little towards the end but definitely nothing as crazy as before. sad reality when i hopped back on the bike for 60min. did wu then 5x5min downhill then cd. abs&hips. 

wow so another painless mile and it felt wonderful so wow. did speed on the bikes which was 5x1min on 2min off 2min on 3min off then 1min on 2min off. long hard but rewarding workout. biked 65 min total. shoutout to bryn and james for getting me through that workout lol #bikepals
