I Eat PAIN-cakes for Breakfast

Today was long run day. The coaches had us do the docks beach run. I added on an extra two miles so I could get my seventy minute run in. I felt pretty good but it was dang hot. Running the hill in the heat was not fun. 

Today was an easy recovery day. The coaches had us do a mile warm up and two mile run. After that we played games in which I got a mile of running in. It's safe to say that I suck and missionary tag and sharks and Minos. It was a lot of fun though. 

Today was speed day. JV had a meet in Altamont so the coaches left the seniors in charge. Rather then do repeats at the park, they decided we had to do them on the track. It was hot and the heat radiated off the track so it was even worse. After a mile warm up we did our work out(1x1600 4x800 4x400). We were supposed to get a walking lap recovery in between each but we ended up jogging it or most of it. I didn't feel to great when we got to our third 800. I'm pretty sure I was dehydrated and developing heat stroke. I thought about stopping but decided to finish. And I did, with really really bad cotton mouth despite the fact that I drank water after every repeat. The workout as a whole was no bueno. No me gusta. I plan on taking the next two days easy because BYU is Saturday. 

Today was an extremely easy recovery day. I felt fine but I didn't want to over work my body. The coaches gave varsity new uniforms for Saturday. Now we all match which is nice because race officials won't keep bugging us. I'm really looking forward to BYU. 

Today was an easy shakeout run. The bus took us out to Provo today since the meet starts so early and we live a few hours away. We did a half mile warm up, one set of 90 60 30's, and a half mile cool down. After, Jacia McKenna Kyrie and I met up with Aaron and some of his teammates for dinner. I haven't seen Aaron for a while so it was nice to catch up. 

So BYU was today. My time was not as fast as I wanted but I'm not at all upset. I took a minute and 28 seconds off from my time last year and I was first for Uintah. I tried a new racing strategy and I really liked it. I need to work on my speed endurance a little but this strategy is perfect for me. S/O to Kedric for making top 30 and Kenny for killing it today! Our team is getting stronger. Even though the times were not as fast we were still consistent. I'm excited to see how we do at region.
