Sock tans

We went up to Foothill, took a different route and went to the U track, then to the Avenues and down to City Creek, up the canyon a mile and back down to South Temple, then up to 13th and back to the school. My knee started bothering me when we turned up off of foothill. Along 11th and down the road to City Creek I tightened up and my form just felt really off. Up the canyon I loosened up a bit, I think stopping for a minute at the bathroom helped me relax a bit. I struggled up South Temple because by then I was tired and my sore legs hurt. 8:08 average.

Ran to the school, then up to the track and did a couple grass laps and strides. Then we did Russian 400s or something for a mile, up to Sunnyside and did a couple 800s, back down to the track and another mile of Russian 400s. The pace I was supposed to hit was slower than usual, more off of effort than time. I'm still sore and tired from yesterday and probably some from Saturday and the long bus ride back from California Saturday night, but there is a little improvement. I can walk without my legs absolutely dying like they were yesterday :) Did cool down (couple grass laps and back to the school) then when I got home ran to Harmon's and back for some rolls, that got me to 10 for the day.

Ran to cottonwood complex, did 4x500s up a different way hitting some of Bessie and Rollercoaster. This was mostly for Garek since he's going to NATIONALS but hey we like doing the workouts with him. I hit them probably around 5:40 pace. It was harder than a 500 on the track because of the hill and grass. I led the last 3, on the third one (second one that direction because we were alternating the direction) I followed what I thought was the mark from Bills measuring wheel but turned out to be some bike track, veered off course like a rookie. We did it so that the fast guys had to catch us slower folks so they started later than us. Then we ran back to East. Solid 12.5 for the day.

Ran to the school, then we did Shriners run to the Fire station, back down and when we got to Sunnyside we did a lap. I cut out early and ran back home. Ran with Jakob for most of it. Felt pretty good. It's crazy that it's the middle of December and it feels like the beginning of spring! I'm loving it now, but I hope it snows for Christmas!

Ran to Sugarhouse, a perimeter lap and back to the school. Props to Tresa for keeping up for the whole run!

Ran up to Foothill, over to Thunderbird and took Wasatch to the zoo. Then took Sunnyside back to Foothill and did VA loop to guardsman, .5 out on Shriners run and back home. It was cold and windy. But not cold enough for snow apparently, it rained instead. Oh well it was a good run. 7:55 average. Whoops I guess I did my math wrong when I was figuring out how far I needed to go.
