C Mantz Run

Really wanted to run, but my foot still hurt. God news: it doesn't hurt to walk anymore! Yay! Biked. I was 5 minutes into my warmup, when I had to go figure out something with my AP test and region being the same day. Walked around a ton, then went up to the track to talk to my coaches. Then went back to the school. I did jog with another girl in the same dilemma about an 8th of a mile, but I won't count it. It hurt. Finally got back on the bike, and school was out. Warmed up 5 more minutes. Simulated the workout: 2 sets of 200 @ r, 600 @ tempo, 300 @ f. The times I was supposed to hit were 40, 2:20ish, 60 (or less) continuous. I figured out how to change the resistance on the bikes. Just hit the amount of time with the same level of effort (kinda). The first set was really good. Full recovery for 5 minutes which may have been long. Second set was good, too. At the end of the second set, my all out was whatever I had, and I went hard. I checked my pulse right after because it was fast. It was around a 180, meanig I must've been going hard. Cooled down for 10 more minutes.

20 minutes on the bike. 6 miles total. Felt good, and kept it pretty easy.

Way pumped about today! My foot didn't hurt very bad which was wonderful. Had a perfect amount of time to get ready, run home to grab something, and warm up. It was a beautiful day, a little hot, but the perfect amount. Warmed up way too early. Went 1 on the course, then jogged around with Clara. My foot didn't hurt too much. When we did strecthes I began feeling it. I just focused on the race. One thing I wanted to work on was staying smooth. The strides were pretty good, but I definitely felt my foot. When we got on the line, I got super nervous. I had a strategy in mind. The start was a little rough, felt too slow. I was in the whole pack. Our first 200 was a 34, and I still was making my way up. Our first lap was a 75, and I felt comfortable. I caught a pack of 3 freemont girls. I could hear girls behind us, but I never knew wherw they were. The second lap was pushed, but I just stuck behind them. The third lap, I wanted to go, but my foot was hurting. About gave up during the third lap, I didn't care if I made it, but at 400 left, I wanted state. I tried to pass the pack but was boxed in. With 300 to go, Russain Interval went through my mind. I got on my toes and went. With 100 to go, I was hurting. My thighs burned, and my foot killed. The two girls passed me, and I freaked out. Looked back with 50 to go, and I had a good gap so just strided in. If I hadn't hurt so bad, I would've gone with the girls. I was so happy to be done with worrying. Pumped to make it to state! Also, I PRd and broke the school record which were my season goals. 

It was fun watching the guys race and qualify. So many people did amazing qualifying which makes me pumped for state. About an hour after my race (foot began to feel better), finally went on a cool down with a bunch of guys. It was pretty dope. We went on the course, continued on lower canal, then to Mack Park. It felt super good to be out and running. We ended up going over 2.5 miles. It was such a party today! Pumped for tomorrow.

Not a super good race. My shin was pretty sore all day, probably from running on my foot different. I wasn't mentally ready for this race. It was super hot. Warmed up over a mile and a half, felt funny running on my foot. Yesterday my foot hurt during the day, but not so bad when warming up; today, it didn't hurt until I started running. Did the strecthes while worrying more about the foot than the race. When we got on the starting line, I didn't know what to expect. I should have had a better motivation for the race. I was hoping for a good time, but I raced for the points our coaches wanted. Our start took it's time. Felt like a jog in the park, a really hot park. I passed the pack. Mckenna wasn't too far ahead, but the gap grew. The pack was on me the whole time. I thought I would pull away, but it just got harder. By the third lap I wanted to give up, everything was already sore. Just kept pushing. On the 7th lap, three Freemont girls started to go around me. I fought to stay up. The last lap I was ready to go, but it hurt. The whole race I wasn't on my toes; good thing I wore flats. I tried to pull away at 300, but they stuck. 200 left two of em passed me again, and I was done. I couldn't get on my toes. It's okay, but I wished I could've raced better or gotten a decent time. My foot was hurting, and my calves and thighs were pretty dead. I cooled down a mile with the guys. It was fun watching everyone race. It was also a party hangin out and talkin to everybody. Later did one more mile. Everything is pretty tired, but pumoed for state!

We were all pretty sore from region, so today was an easy recovery day. Kelsee, Rachel, and I were pretty tired of running on the road, so we drove up to dry canyon. Going up was pretty hard, but it was super easy.The weather was hot and dry, but it was nice being up the canyon. When we got to the shade, it felt plenty better. After 1.5 up we turned around. Our pace sped up a ton, but we still went nice and easy. It was fun talking and we enjoyed ourselves. Foot didn't hurt, but whole body was dead. We averaged a little under 11 minute miles.

Woke up pretty early to run. It was super nice and pretty out, I miss running in the morning. Brought Ruby with me. She struggled after the first mile, but after we turned around, she sped up. Foot wasn't hurting too bad. Our miles were 8:09, 8:12, 8:43, and 8:49. They were slow, but my legs were still beat from region. I attempted to do strides. After the first few steps, my foot would hurt tok much. I stopped trying after the 3rd. Later went on a pretty fun 3 mile hike. Senoir Prom with spencemoney was a blast.
