just for the run of it

wu was running down the kicker. did drills then started off. felt like we took it a little easier than normal at first but i was fine with that and once we got to the big hill i wasn't too tired, but i didn't push myself to go with watson when she surged. with half a mile left i picked it up decently, but not enough to finish where i wanted. 10:16 so wasn't too bad. honestly my legs just killed after tho. 6 mile cool down didn't feel too long but my legs didn't wanna go that far. shoutout to smiths for the free water bottles. abs and hips and ice bath.

got there early, did 2 miles on the road then got back and did a barefoot mile cause there was some good grass. sat around then did mile wu with the girls. got to the line, did a stride. jamie told us 6:45 first mile, 6:35 ap next half mile then faster for the rest. hit 6:38 first mile, 6:30 second mile and finished. kinda bummed i didn't catch this westlake girl at the end and didn't push to stick with watson when she surged, but stayed ahead of pace and im really ready to wreck it at grass relays. did 3 mile cool down on this road we named farm road. pretty quality day but im just really ready for a race where everything clicks. wish me luck. 

couldn't really agree where to go, finally ended up deciding towards smiths. did about 2 mile wu then stretched. kept going and just ran to freedom park and did a grass mile there then headed back which felt better than the way there. finished with a grass mile at skyridge. 8:22 ap. my calves have been super tight which is a weird recurrence since simplot, nothing crazy but that's the only thing that ever seems to get really sore. gonna have dal roll me out. did some abs and hips and ice bath for the sake of my calves. found out im the 5th runner for relays so super psyched for that.

low easy distance run today. wu mile and my calves felt really tight so i was worried, but ended up being a solid run. stayed flat, wasn't in the mood for hills today. 7:23 ap. abs&hips.

huge shoutout to gups for giving me a ride home and rolling me out after work, mucho appreciated.

mile wu then premeet. we had to do it by ourselves cause that's how the race will be. hit 2:57 which was way too fast. did some strides/handoff starts on the grass. went out on the three mile loop but had to stop and stretch after a mile cause my calves were killing me. finished up then went to the weight room for abs&hips. watson was a pal and did a light roll out then we went and ice bathed. shoutout to the tree. gonna elevate and try some heat on my calves so they'll feel good for tomorrow.

got there early to cheer everyone on and i was feeling so pumped pumping them on. when guppy got to the line i started my wu and did a mile. stretched then had to wait by the handoff area for about 30 min which was fine cause i got to cheer on my team. kaylee got good position with us in 5th and i surged ahead at the beginning to catch springville so id have someone to race with/pass. pretty soon a skyline girl whipped past us and i knew it was gonna be a fight for fifth place. i just let her pace for most of it. she surged a good amount of times but i stayed focused and didn't fall off. heading around the baseball field the second time watson gave me some good motivation and i surged ahead starting my kick. wasn't sure if i could hold because i haven't had great kicks lately but i didn't look back, i knew what was on the line. the gauntlet was hard and i was tired but i gave it my best and it was enough. i kept the lead and we got a trophy for being top five teams. had 6:13 ap. so proud of my team cause they did so good and they're amazing. cool down was running around cheering for the guys. ice bathed after and gonna roll out later.
