Well here we go...

1000's today. Only did 3 cuz I'm sick. Was gonna try to do all of them, my legs felt great! But breathing was hurting really bad, so with the workout and having to work to breathe was just killing. My times were 3:56, 4:04, 3:53. Goal time was 3:57 so they were kinda all over the place. I like the whole taking turns leading thing cuz it pushes us as a group but then we never really get into a nitch so it's kinda hard that way. Harts warm and cool and weights. 

3 this morning

4 on chuckwalla trail. It was really pretty. And pretty fun. But I'm just feeling really sick during my runs. I mean during the day too but it doesn't go away during the run it makes it really hard to breathe. And then my head starts pounding and I have coughing fits. I dunno if it's one of those things to keep going or take a rest. So I'm gonna keep going until I feel I need to rest. Good plan!

Am:waffle Wednesday! Woo hoo!

pm: 18 minute tempo. It was pretty good I guess. It was nice that Liz and Mia were going about where I run on these cuz I was able to stick with them for the first lap. It's just on that down hill man! You would think that would be the spot to get up there but I hit it and my body thinks "well now you can relax". So died a little there but slowly got back up to pace when maskerem caught up with me. Finished even farther than last week so, getting there. Don't know my average pace.  The greater thing about these tho is not just that I've been getting faster but I'm not constantly begging myself to stop. I've improved a lot on my mental battles. 

Am: 3 AC. Was feeling lots better this morning, had a few coughing fits during the night but other than that was feeling way better. Had an awesome book discussion this morning. Who knew setting goals could be so scary tho? That was tough! 

Pm: old man hills! 1x800 felt really good on this. Was able to be up pushing with Mia. 2x400's these are my favorite I think. Just the right amount of speed and distance, did pretty good at these. Then 4x200's. I didn't think these would be as hard but they were tough! The first two I did pretty good but the last two I struggled quite a bit. Just that last 100 on each my legs quit. But still a good workout and good push. Jog back was eventful. My knee was doing funky things! I didn't step weird or anything but all of sudden it felt like something was trying to twist my knee cap. It hurted! And then it kinda did that randomly the whole way back. I face planted it in the dirt, that's the second time today! I think this run made my cough worse though, I've been coughing non stop since I got back to the school. Had some weights. Hopefully I can get myself under control, weird.

Am: 3 this morning with Liz and Mia. Was really worn out

pm: 3 to arctic cat with the girls. I love when we have lots of girls, we made up another story, this time about a fat bird. Striders afterward, this cough is just getting worse hopefully the weekend will get it better. And my knee has been weird all day! It doesn't hurt like it did yesterday on our run but just randomly it will hurt, like when I go upstairs especially. Just like something is pulling on it. I'm so excited cuz we're gonna have lots of girls tomorrow on our run! Or at least a lot of new girls that don't usually come on Saturdays. 

7 girls!! That's how many there were, 7!!! Only had to drag about half of them out of bed and it only took 45 minutes to get them all there, but we got them there. We learned about a valuable tool that can get our girls team to practice: force. We had maskerem, alli, Josie, Carli, Tay boy, Liz and me! Ran up to green springs and did our tempo on the way back. It feels weird to be leading on tempos cuz I never thought that would happen. I think this is the fastest tempo I've ever done. I'm not sure my time but it was faster than it has been. I just kept singing the dory song in my head. I just kept saying just keep running just keep running. It was kinda annoying but it worked
