BACK TO WORK

AM-sauce and I went to the virgin loop trail and rode mtn bikes.  We even stopped at jack in the box for a milk shake!  It was so fun to hang out with saucy for a couple hours.

PM-There was no school, but i decided to have practice for the distance kids today.  5 kids showed up, so we ran from pilot to the golf course birdge and then played ultimate frisbee on the river beach and then back to pilot.  It was actually very fun and just something different.

PM-meet at snow canyon, so I just went there.  No running today.

AM-mark had a unified studies trip today and they were leaving early, so we started at 4:45AM.  We got over the hill by the pilot, and then picked it up.  we went 6:45, 6:45, 6:38, 7:10, 7:08, 7:18, 7:27.  I went home for a 1/2 hour and then met laura and darian to get another easy 3 in.  tamarisk out and back.

My allergies and the early morning raised havoc on my eyes.  I am feeling pretty drained right now.  We have a state qualifier at Snow canyon tomorrow, so I am am going to get up and try to get 3 in and then nothing until the 1/2 marathon on Saturday.

AM-1 mile warm up

chad and I decided to use this as a training run, although after I started and could see the main pack just in front of me, so I decided to go a little faster!  Besides a girl led the whole dang race.  Whats up with that?  She ran so strong, so good for her. The first couple miles I was chatting with a guy that said he didnt think it was right that a girl should win, but I told him I am too old to do anything about it!

The hill was tough, but I just relaxed up it and didn't redline, so I could save for the down hill.  The only problem was the 15 mph headwind for the rest of the race.  Mile 8 & 9 I started to worry that I went out too fast, but all the miles I have been logging ended up really paying off.  My last 3 miles were so strong and I just felt really really good. 

I did a cool down around hurricane and then called it good.  I didn't stay for the medals because I had to grocery shop and get kire to soccer in cedar.  Laur went with saucy to volleyball in SLC, so she didn't get home until this evening. 

I have to say, Alexa rocked out the track meet on Thursday. She broke the school record and qualified for BYU.  I think she is going to really help the team in region.
