addi's running :)

well, ive missed fast running blog so much!  i've decided to make it a part of my last track season.  so that is exciting :) i really dont know why i ever stopped!!!

anyways, running has gotten off to a shakey start, with some injuries in the shin/calf area, but they seem to be under control as of right now.  i am increasing mileage slowly (doctors orders) which is really difficult for me and it is requiring a lot of patience.  but i am grateful for every opportunity that i have to run.  good run today with alli.  felt really good and im finally getting back into my groove which i am so glad.  also, i am so excited to be back with my fav team tomorrow!!!!!

only got a mile in because I had my last PT appointment!!! so yay! I'm feeling good. A little ache, but that's normal because I haven't been running so my muscles need a little longer to build up normal strength. But I am feeling good about running and I'm going to force myself to keep taking care of myself so I can be injury free! that's the goal :) bit it was way good to be back with the team even though it was only for a mile. Ready to run more tomorrow.

AHH! I'm back :) I know I was supposed to take a few more days off...but I needed a run today. It is so weird to go from running doubles to not be required to run anything. PVXC changed my life. I loved every part about it. It was hard, but it was all worth it. It's is going to be way hard to move on :( But I am so excited to keep running on my own. Today's run was good. Just a nice easy 25 min. Not exactly sure on mileage cause my watch was dying. Love running.

once again the watch was dead, but another good run. I went to the lake with maycee and I'm sore all over the place haha but it was nice to run. xc practice started today...weird to not be there

30 min

I only got 3 miles in and was at like an 8 min average. I went alone and it was nice to run. But I definitely miss the team...I got to chat with ry and some others at kids club that made me happy. Also, lifted some weights with my mom. Hopefully we get way strong by the end of summer.

good run. went with my dad. I'm kinda just taking things nice and easy. I don't really know what I should do about workouts and regular runs now that I don't really have anything to train for. But I'll figure it out. Love running.

well, I didn't get much running in at the end of last week cause we were babysitting cousins. So that's a major bummer. I went out alone today. I'm not feeling to good. My nose is stuffed my throat is sore and my eyes hurt...hahah it sucks to be sick. I wanted to make the run longer but the body wasn't feeling up to it.

good run. still feeling kinda sick. went with my mom, dad, and selma. mornings are beautiful

I really have been slacking with running. Somehow I'm not waking up to my alarm, and then it's hot by the time I wake up so I'm not motivated to go. Anyways, I got out today and it was good. Went alone. It's different to not have anyone relying on you to run...it was good to get out. I really am missing the team.

ahh! such a good run! I finally decided I needed to go to practice and I'm so glad :) I've missed the team so so much! We ran at confluence park and it was good. I ran 30 with adri and then went back to finish with the other girls. they are killing it. it's gonna be a good year for them. I loves seeing coaches and just once again feeling the love that I have for running. I've been having a hard time to be motivated. Anyways, I love running and pvxc

Well, its been an eventful week for me...I started work, working for St. George City in the green house and it is pretty awesome.  It is hard work and exhausting, but enjoyable.  Hours are 6-2 so I haven't been motivated to go running this week.  I need to work it into my schedule somehow.  I miss it.  I was going to go on Thursday, but we hiked some of Pine Valley so once again, I didn't have the motivation.  Needless to say, I got out today and I felt great.  Took it nice and chill with my dad and it was very enjoyable.  I'm having a hard time running without people who I felt like needed me.  There is no accountability or a desire to help others because I don't have the team anymore.  I didn't realize how much I needed them, until now...when I don't have them.  I really don't know how to explain it.  It is so complicated.  But, I can now strongly testify that being on a team and having people who count and trust that you will give your best effort, builds confidence and allows the body to do and accomplish more than it could ever imagine.  Being on a team is a powerful thing and I'm grateful for the chance I had to be on such a team.  A team that lifted me up, a team that built my character, and a team that pushed me to do the impossible.  Somehow  I hope to find motivation and drive through something else, but I know it's going to take some searching.

I finally got out on a run! Logan has the perfect weather and it was so fun to just run through the fields. I'm excited to go on more running adventures!!!!

Well, I braved the giant hill by my house.  I ran out towards the canyon.  Made it to First Dam!  It was actually so beautiful.  I love the morning runs that start my day.  They make me be so much more productive!  I am going to do my best to log all my athletic activities.  I have been going to the ARC to workout with some friends which has been good for me as well.  But still, nothing beats a beautiful run.  It's weird to be at this point in my life where I run by myself, not with teammates, but overall I love it and this journey I am on.  Life is beautiful and running only makes it better.
