addi's running :)

man today was very rough. it kinda beat me up. I never fought back or pushed when it hurt. The tempos were slow and I wasn't fighting at all. I need to learn to be tough cause I wasn't at all aggressive. pyper was looking real strong today. she makes me happy 80min

pm-by myself.  kinda a exhausting day.  it was good to get out again

am-weights and run

pm-hard run into green springs but it was a solid push

am-good run :) kinda tired

pm-workout!!! 2x800, 4x400, 4x200 very good! we had a killer pack in the future! very positive vibes from today

am-run and yoga.  pretty good group :)

pm-ran the 800 in the medley!  also, alli sq in the 400 so proud.  so anyways, our medley was madi, jadaddy, ness, then me.  man it was good.  i started my leg close to lastish.  ended up taking 4th except kinda bummed cause a canyon view girl passed me in the last 50 meters :( haha anyways, today i just hammered it.  and i dont really know what was different but something definantly was.  i was not afraid to get after it or push when it hurt,  let me tell ya my arms were so tense and tingling, my eyes were wigging out, but i fought.  i felt like at the end i actually gave it my all.  i definantly pushed out of the comfort zone today.  want that feeling again.  it was something ive never felt before.  man today was good (didnt think to have someone time me but im pretty confident saying it was my fastest 800 ever in my life) cooled some with ness and alli

am-long run w/ 5min easy tempo, and 10 min at 6:40ish pace, then 5x30 sec hills.  Today was good :) we had a solid group.  i had a hard time getting into things but once i got into it it was very very solid.  we pushed the tempos strong as well as the hills.  they were a good time to focus on form.

pm-kinda annoying on these short days.  i feel like everyone just thinks they can do their own thing so we all end up doing something different.  me, ellie, and jacey all pushed together towards the end.  looking forward to a good week :)

70+25

am-weights and run.  legs are feeling tired but strong

pm-PANTHER RELAYS!  pretty chaotic but fun.  i think we need more time to just chill and enjoy ourselves when racing instead of it being stressful.  although it was very extremely annoying to have people skipping accross the line, or other garbage haha.  ran the 800 in the distance medley, 800 in the 4x800 and 400 in the 4x400.  it was all solid pushes.  tried to focus on form.  

am-morning run. kinda pushed a little with jac and robs.

pm-the annual flyer hand out day. a lot of the girls were split and cutting the run short...not sure why. It was darn hot but as jacey would say "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" haha had a good chat with Holt. It was definitely something that I needed to hear. Grateful for Holt and robs. (best coaches out there)

20+45

am-weights and run. benched 15 and squated 45! most weight in a long time!

pm-today was rough. Felt tired but I still stuck in there striders felt very nice :)

15+45

am-yoga and run

pm-1600 in the wind!   it was actually super solid.  a season best.  so i cant be super disappointed.  i thought my shoe was gonna come untied the ENTIRE time so that was freaking me out haha.  but, i was able to really push.  i feel like when i started my kick though i totally tensed up my upper body making it worse and harder to move rather than speeding me up and helping me.  so i gonna focus on being more smooth.  but it was a very good step in the right direction.  

am-well, me and ness ended up being in the second heat which was really good for me.  I started out strong, and there was a girl from westlake that i was kinda battleing with for the first few laps.  then i stuck the lead.  holt really made me focus on things everytime i ran by.  he made sure i was listening then hed tell me exactly what to do.  i dont think i have ever responded to what he has said any better than that.  also surge zones saved me haha idk why i havent been incorperating those the whole entire season!  anyways, it was solid.  thought my time woulda been faster but, its whatever...yet again another step in the right direction

shoutout to my beast sister for freaking breaking the school record.  also my other sister ry for qualifying for state!  also, my good friend claire for trying new things and totally being a stud.  also dylan with a sq.  man our team is full of insparation after insparation.  im so grateful to be apart of something so great.  also idk if ive ever had more fun.

am-long run.  had a harder time today but i did push the tempos pretty well.  i really coulda ran a little faster after haha.  but it was a good run.  we seemed to have a good group of girls there i kinda stuck in the back the whole time thinking about life and such haha

pm-after hearing some inspiration from my teammates jake and samson we ran in the blowing wind.  man it was crazy.  it was a terrible day to choose to not do a braid.  anyways, it was pretty chill.  

70+20

also, because my races at this weekend were season bests...thought id blog about them so if youd like they are on the previous page haha

am-weights and run

pm-hurricane jv. Ran the 1600&800. 1600 was pretty solid. We had a very tight pack that just kinda chilled together. I was trying to help the girls surge but it didn't really seem effective. I kinda took off the 3 lap but they all caught me the last lap haha. But the time was still pretty decent considering the circumstances. I really didn't try on the 800 so that kinda makes me mad cause I know I didn't try.

no morning in forever

pm-short run and then kids meet. it was pretty good. things seemed to go pretty smooth. it's fun to see kids run and push themselves. they are great inspiration

am-weights and run

pm-run towards Sullivan. flipped early with Megan cause she didn't know how to get back to the school. but I finished the time on my own. striders were good. gained some insight from robs it was good.

am-long run! we had 70 with some fartleks. I started with the team at 5:30 then went to the highschool by 6:00 so that I could hang up some student council posters but it took WAAAYYYYYY longer than I thought. so that was annoying haha. anyways, I went and finished my run after which actually turned out to be pretty good! I hit some nice pickups!

pm-meeting and run. the meeting was good! sparked some positive attitudes from the team :)

70+25

am-weights and run. different loop I kinda enjoyed it!

pm-workout!!! WAY good! we had 200, 400, 800, 400, 200, 200, 400, 800 (at 3200)ahah and then a 400, 200, (at 1600)then a 300(all out) Me and py led most of the time and we really hit our times way good. It was super hot but it wasn't anything that I didn't think I could do. I was super positive and I know that really helped me. Feeling fast ready to really push myself this weekend!

am-this morning was a good one for me. even with tired legs and an exhausted body I had the strength to give it a little extra effort with robs and caroline

pm-man it was a hot hot day. started out going down 2450 and my side was KILLING! Every step was throbbing! Once we got to the light I took a little break and it felt much better. I stuck with the group for a ways, then we started up the hill(by fossil ridge) and I started dying it was long and gradual. but, I feel like I kept digging. there were times when I didn't really push but overall it was really good! once we hit the mortuary, it was very very solid! robs even said the average pace was mid 7s it felt good. striders were wonderful and really got a lot of the crap out of my legs. a positive attitude goes a long ways.

also, learned some of the beastlyness of coach robs haha

am-good sesh of weights calluses are slowly coming back haha :) run was good after!

pm-man today was hard for me. it was like a million degrees but, it was a solid push. the hill was rough but the way back I was killing it :) it felt very nice to push at the end!!! built some confidence!

15+50

am-up turkey farm! a way hard run for me for some reason..but o also feel like it was strong. we started out and we were killing the pace. then I totally died up the hill..but I feel like I gave a decent effort. from artic circle back to the high school I was with the girls and we we're cruzin! overall solid run

pm-these afternoon runs are not my favorite..I feel like everyone does there own thing haha but it was fine
