Well here we go...

Workout this morning, nervous about my knee but it was feeling ok so I just went for it. It was a good confidence boost from this weekend. My goal was to hit 4:28 my last one and hit in the 30's the other 3 seeing that was a little faster then last week. My first one I hit 4:44 so I knew I needed to pick it up on the next three. I had a whole strategy going in my head of placement and stuff ;) which actually helped a lot. It was really helpful to push with Alli at the beginning be ause I always start out a little slow. My times were 4:44, 4:32, 4:29, 4:21. So a good workout. Except my knee really killed on the cool down and they didn't have any ice bags so I just kinda rubbed ice over it but didn't do much cuz my knee was hurting so bad all day.

AM: 3 this morning

PM: had a nice inspirational talk by Mrs.Pete but when we ran through the arms thing, it hurt my knee so flippin bad. When we started on our run I wanted to cry it was hurting so bad. So I didn't go 4 I just turned around at hot nails. But I might've been able to go 4 cuz by the time I got back it wasn't huring as bad. So I tried striders and was able to do all 8. My knee still hurt but not as bad.

Time trial today. My knee was hurting more this morning when I woke up so I didn't do a morning run. But it felt ok for the time trial. I forgot my trainers, stupid, so I had to do my warm up by myself in my spikes just around the school. I really wanted to do well today, like really bad and I think I improved a lot from my first time trial. I don't know what my time was (but I would really really...really like to) but I finished 4th out of the girls. Coach told us to stick with the girl in front of us. Alli was a little in front of me and then it was Liz, I wasn't brave enough to get right up with liz but we were not too far behind. I have kind of given myself a place where I should run and have lost a lot of confidence and that 'daring to go' attidtude from my last few races so I didn't think I would be able to stick with Alli. But every time she would pull ahead I would stay with her and finished a little ahead. Nicole was with us for a little bit and then pulled ahead. I should've gone with her. That's my only regret about this race because I know I could've stuck with her. But overall this race really helped me a lot with getting back into race mode and pulled my confidence back up a little. Hopefully I can keep it. Did hill sprints right after and those were good. I liked em :) didn't get in a full cool down cuz I had to go to a meeting.

AM: Mia told all the girls to come this morning so naturally there were only two of us there. But then we met Kaelie on the way. Felt really sluggish

PM: easy 3 to sandbergs. It was a nice easy run, no jumping in so ran back with liz and roberts and did our 200's. Felt alright today

AM: we got our new record! 8 girls showed up to morning practice today! It was a good run I just still felt sluggish.

PM: was still feeling really tired but I was able to pull out a pretty good workout. Had 3/3's today. I hit 4 reps with just over 7 cones each time. And I was able to stay pretty close to Mia the whole time. It felt good to push myself because I didn't stop til I couldn't hit my distance anymore. The last one I was just a little off. Then we did 4x30 second sprints. Ah I was so dead but I felt pretty strong during them. Really hard workout today it I feel good about how I did today :)
