Practice

So yeah, I think a in the summer I wrote a post about starting cross country practice--correction: I did not actually do more than a day or two because my ankle was still messed up since spring and I got sooo sore from the first day. Why was my ankle messed up, you ask? Last Easter my family and I went to a relatives house and they lived in the boonies with horses and goats and a lot of dirt land. They had ATVs and after a while I rode on this one four-wheeler where I ended up flipping to the side, squashing my right ankle between the dirt and the wheel. Yes, it hurt like Hell [or as my friend would say, a Mother --]. Anyways, it got all swollen and purple-red-yellow and it's still a bit discoloured now and it was HORRIBLE!!! D:

So last week track practice 'officially' started. It wasn't too bad for the first day. On Tuesday during sixth [which I have Sports PE] we changed and went to the track. We did a warm-up lap, a lot of lines [or agilities or drills, whatever you call them]. I was doing fine and surprised I wasn't too tired yet. Then after doing one exercise we had to do bleachers. When I heard that, I was like 'hell no'. We had to run from the field [where we were] to the home bleachers, run up the first stairs, up to the top, over, down at the next stairway but not down them, over, up, over, down, down the stairs, down under the bleachers back to the field. Then we did a cool-down lap.

Wednesday we didn't have sports PE so I went to afterschool practice. We did the warm-up lap and stretches. Then we did speedwork on the second day! O_O Basically, you have to run a certain distance as fast as you can and you keep doing runs over and over again. Being a newbie, me and some other girls did two 200s, a couple 100s, then several more 100s. [it was easy speedwork but still...]. Tuesday didn't make me sore, but this did it a bit worse.

But Thursday...my gosh... We had two hours of sports PE, so we did the lap, stretches, and a lot of lines. Then near the end of class [I didn't have a watch] he let us have a break and we went on the bleachers. This time it was version 2. We had to run up the seats of the bleachers five times, then hop up them twice, then do the same thing as Tuesday. Last was the cool-down lap. *faints* This made me so tired and sore.

So today I went to practice after school [Friday was raining and I kind of didn't want to go =p] In sports PE we had study hall, so practice was after school. It was pretty short today, though. We warmed up, stretched, then we had to hit the road. Being slow and a newb, I was in group 3 [or would it be 4?] which is the slowest, but I know I am. We had to do Azusa-Loop and the Wash, which is kind of a rectangle... Hold on...
[<> So that's it. I'll be expecting myself to be sore until the end of the season [or end of time, which ever]].
