Stoner's Runs!

Today I ran to the high school which turned out to be exactly 4 miles and then I ran with the team.  It was fun and kinda weird to be back.  I just miss my old coaches so much!  

Today we had 1000'sx6.  They started on the track and we ran up to the grass, did a loop, then back to the track and finished.  I averaged around a 2:50 the entire time so I was happy that I was able to keep consistent even though they got harder and harder.  Afterwards I felt super dizzy...perhaps I need to stop skipping out on my vitamins..

Due to Roberts prodding, I'm going to start this blogging shindig back up.  So today I ran 6 at Sugarhouse and was able to watch our super awesome team run.  They did amazing and I was really impressed!  So good job you guys!   

Today I had a workout..yay!  It was a 400,600,400,600x3.  We got a 90sec break between each run and a 2 1/2min. break between each set...make sense?  Prolly not because they had to explain it to me like 5 times before I got it.  Our 400's averaged around 1:22sec. and our 600's (which were on the grass) were around a 2:10.  So it was a decent pace but after you've done so many of them...they felt like you were going at lightning speed.  I ran later in the day because of classes so it was just me and Dayna so it made it kinda hard with no girls around.  But I made it through and Dayna really pushed me the entire time.  

Today was a normal run on our own so I called Morgan and we ran together.  We ran up the canyon and then into those mountians on the side.  We got kinda lost because there's a billion bike trails to follow so we just kinda made it up.  The view was so pretty though and we made it back exactly at 6 miles so it all worked out!

Today we had a 60% run.  We ran out into the boonies of Cedar where all the farmers live.  The first mile was normal and the next 5 miles were at a 6:30 pace.  The last mile the pack pulled away but I still hit a 6:20 so I was glad I kept it consistent at least.  I wanted to push it with the pack but I wasn't feeling too great this morning.  After we ran a 1/2 mile cool down and rode back to SUU in coach houles truck! 

Today we were supposed to have a speed workout but is was SOOO windy!  Like you have no idea.  3 huge pine trees on campus blew over and hit some buildings...it was pretty cray cray.  So we just ran 6 out onto the farm run and coach drove us back to the track.  Then we finished our mileage at the track.  And then I got to host some recruits for the night and they were the coolest people ever!  I just wish they were already on our team!   Hopefully they'll decide to run for SUU!

Workout day!  Woot, I just love these days!  I had class during the normal girls workout time so I had to do it later with Dayna.  We met up and the boys were in the middle of their workout so we warmed up and had Nigel start us up.  Our workout was 50%-80% mile repeats.  So we'd do a mile up on the grass at a 7:15 pace and then go down onto the track and run a mile at a 6:00 pace. We had 3 sets.  The 50% is the most important part and I got a 6:02, 5:56 and a 6:00 so I was right in range which was good.  It was just hard running with no pack.  Dayna got ahead pretty easily and being alone made it hard to keep a good pace, but I'm happy I was able to stay in range.  

So today Paige, Sheri, Dayna and myself alls gots together and we was like runnin all aroun'.  It were just like a normal runnin day and so we was running up this canyon and we like turned off into these hilly rolly mounian trails.  It was a fun run cuz we like didn' know really where we was going so we was jus' makin it all up.  The endizzle. 

Today I we left at 5am and drove to Vegas, flew to Seattle, then flew to Bozeman, Montana.  And I was sick.  It was miserable.  I got a sore throat last night and it had gotten worse and worse.  For our run we ran around this park in Bozeman and I only ran 3 with Sierra because she was having hip problems and I was sick.  It was super pretty there and everyone was out with their dogs (everyone in Bozeman has a dog we found out).  Running actually felt like it helped and I was taking medicine like a madman all day.  I need to be well for Conference Championships!!
