My first run with the team since my beautiful ITBS! We did Webb Hill, which is a fun (grueling) run. Coach made me run with the girls which meant only going up one and a half times. He said I couldn't beat the first girl to the top. I had to give Andrew my Garmin so that the guys would have a watch with them so I don't know exact distances.

Ran from the Fitness Center down to the Virgin trail and then turned back in at the stoplight by the Rosenbruch. The guys really went out fast, but slowed a lot as we went on. Coach thought maybe I should turn in at the school but I was feeling alright so I kept on. Around the 4th mile my toe that I broke this summer started burning, which was happening before my ITB problem so I jogged/walked in the last mile. 6:37, 7:15, 8:00, 8:10 and 10:40 mile splits.

Justin and I ran 60 sec. intervals from the Riverside trailhead. Ended up being a mile out and a mile back. I should have thought to hit the lap button or just remembered the distances but it didn't occur to me until after. We did end the last repeat where we started though, which means that we traveled further in the intervals on the way back. (distance travelled in 4 min. running + 4 min. walking on the way out = distance travelled in 4 min. running + 3 min. walking back) Of course our walking speed would affect it too, but I think we were pretty consistent.

From the Fitness Center down to the Virgin River trail then turned back up at the new school on that road to make it a shorter run. I didn't eat much in the morning because I was so rushed, but it definitely hurt me on te run. 6:55, 7:36 and 7:23 mile splits.

Mile repeats on the trail past the Rosenbruch to Bloomington. .75mi warm up and cool down. 4 miles. (Doing the girls' workout again. YAY!) I ran too fast and my knee tightened up a lot, so by the end I was basically jogging. I figure it's better than the alternative and I avoided getting to the point of pain.It's sooooo frustrating feeling like I have to baby my legs. 

.75 warm up

1 - 5:41

2 - 6:08

3 - 6:45

4 - 6:56

.75 cool down

So we did Foremaster today. My knee felt kind of tense again, so I iced it after I finished with my stretches. The second "mile" included the Sunrise Tire hill. The reason it's not a full mile is that I bumped the lap button when I looked at my watch because coach asked me if we had made two miles yet. The rest of the guys went the long way around the south end, but with my knee feeling tight the last two days I took the girls' turn and headed down past the hospital.

1 mi = 7:27

1.92 mi = 14:55 (7:27 or 8:05/mi)

2.92 mi = 22:03 (7:08)

3.92 mi = 29:37 (7:33)

4.74 mi = 35:44 (6:07 or 7:32/mi)
