PM - 5 VA loop, 5 speed change laps at East, back to Sunnyside

AM - Team Hike. Ran Down 3 miles. Really fun, but I slipped three times. I got a Hematoma on my Thigh, a deep cut on my knee, and the third fall I just got some scratches.

PM - Team State Course (kinda) Race. It Decided the teams and I got 7th in the boys. It was a 2.5 mile run and I ran it in 17:19. I was trying to catch Sam the whole time. I was really using the downhills (because I have been personally working on that) to help me catch him. I caught him one time during a downhill but he got a gap again on the flat right after it. Other then that I felt really good about it. We also had a warm up and a cool down It was also my first time running in my new spikes. I got the Nike Rival XC Yellow/Grey/Pink

AM - Hogle Zoo Trail Head. We went across Wasatch Bld to the Pavilion that over looks Suicide Rock. We got there with 4.25 miles. Then we ran back the same way. Going there I ran with Clara, I was trying to push her and excel because she beat her sister yesterday. I ran back with Flower, Sarah, Dallen, and Sam. Then I ran with Jakob and Dallen up to the dog park to get to 9.

PM - Soccer Practice. We ran a mile, then did sprints, then speed changes, and finished with turning speed changes. Around 2 miles total

AM - Cottonwood Complex. A new route I haven't taken yet. We went to some other park and did laps there and came back to finish with three miles. That was our warm up. Then we did Bessie 4 times. My times were: 2:07, 2:06, 2:13, 2:03. Felt really good about it because I was pushing the whole time. After that my heart rate had gone way up and I was barely even breathing. Our cool down was the region course. I was hurting really bad through it all, my thigh was hurting from the hematoma I got on Tuesday, my knees were buckling (I don't know why), my calf was having a cramp, and my ankles were sore and they were hurting because of my worn out shoes. Finished with 8.

AM - Liberty Park. 1 Lap, 10 Strides, 1 Lap, then we went extra to get to 4.

My first High School Race. So...... I ran a 1.5 mile warm up 2 hours before my race (just to kinda feel the course) then 20 minutes before my race ran another 1 mile with strides and such. The course was like 2.8? But it was really weird when I finished. As I crossed the line, the line judge said 18:50. I was flippin out because it would've been really good for me. But the results said I was a 20:15...... Which is really bad. So I was a little confused but hey, I pushed myself. Then we ran the course backwards to check the distance and use it as a cool down. Good day!
