Mon. April 7, 2008 - Sun. April 13, 2008
Mon. April 7, 2008- Laura went on a steady 12 km run. The inside of her left calf muscle hurt a little. Leslie went on a 10 km bike ride.
Tues. April 8, 2008- We had a badminton tournament in Mitchell today. We played girls doubles, and although we had some close games, we ended up winning! We have Huron Perth badminton next week. Laura's calf was still hurting a bit. Laura did core exercises before going to modern dance class. Leslie went to hip hop class, as it is not as hard on the joints as modern. Laura ran 5 km on the treadmill. She is tired!
Wed. April 9, 2008- We had an early morning badminton practice for 1 hour. We had soccer practice after school where we ran a lot. Laura could not get a ride to the workout after school, but she did a similar run. She started with a warm up, then progressed to d0 5 big, steep hills, jogging down them as her rest. She then did 7x1 km repeats, and finished with a cool down. Laura's leg is still bothering her a little.
Thurs. April 10, 2008- We had a short soccer practice after school. Our dad was in a car accident with our BMW today, but it wasn't too bad. Basically, it was the other driver's fault and his vehicle was more damaged than ours. Ours has about $2500 damage to it, and will be completely fixed in 6 weeks. (It was lucky that Leslie and I got to drive it last weekend!) We then had badminton practice for 2 hours. Laura is pretty tired, and her leg is worrying her a little, so she took today off running.
Fri. April 11, 2008- Badminton practice was after school today, for 1 1/2 hours. Laura decided to take today off as well, so that her leg can feel better. Leslie is doing the 30 hour famine at her school (where you stay overnight and don't eat to raise money for charity). During it she played a lot of badminton!
Sat. April 12, 2008- Practice was at STA, we did a long warm up, then 4 strides. Laura then did 10 x 300 m repeats. Katie, Emily, and I had a difficult time trying to hit the right pace. We then did 2 x 1200 m tempos. Our pacing was getting better by the end of the workout. We then did 4 x 150 m accelerations, drills, and a long cool down. Laura felt tired, as she has not done speed work in a long time. The famine went to 6:00 pm and Leslie went on a walk and played some more badminton. She also did lots of dancing over the past two days.
Sun. April 13, 2008- Laura went on an easy 7 km run. Her leg seems tight and still hurts a little. We both did core exercises. We have a lot of homework due, so we were very busy. Leslie went on a run to see how her knees felt. At first they didn't hurt, but at about the 1 km mark they began to hurt a lot! So she decided to do a quick 1 km to work on her cardio. She also went on a walk.
Total:
Laura: Running: 50 km Core: 2 x routine Badminton: 6.5 hours Soccer: 2.5 hours
Dance: 1 hour
Leslie: Core: 2 x routine Badminton: 9.5 hours Soccer: 3 hours Dance: 3 hours Biked: 10 km
