Cross Country

Today we were at Wheeler Farm for workout. We ran about two miles warm up around the farm, and then did intervals for the workout around a loop. I felt really good during the warm up, and during most of the workout, but towards the middle I got a really bad sideache. I tried to push through it though, and I think I did okay considering. For most of it I was pretty much on my own, but I ran with Maclean for the last set. That was nice for me since I don't usually run with anyone. After 3 sets of that, we did about two miles for cool down to finish at about 8 (I think...)

Today we did the Shoreline trail, by the Hogle zoo. I really didn't have very much fun on this run. It was a lot of hills, which are sort of my weakness I think. I felt pretty sore on the uphill and got out of breath faster than usual. On most of the downhill I was fine, but I felt pretty sick towards the end. It was a very pretty view though, which was nice. After we got back we did step ups, wall sits and core to finish up.

So, since the school year has started, I decided to start blogging again. I sort of slacked off/ forgot for a few weeks. Today for XC we did a grass lap around the track for warm-up, and then did a run up by foothill and then down by the cemetery. I felt great in the beginning, and was getting all excited when my foot began to hurt like crazy. I decided that I didn't want to stop because it was the one day that I actually wanted to run fast, so I didn't. I kept running until I couldn't bear the pain anymore, and then I had to walk the rest of the way. Every so often I ran 30 meters or so, but it really wasn't getting any better. I'll ice it tonight and hope for the best.
