Act like a horse, be dumb, just run.

ran around on the course we are going to run on saturday for regionals

Ran around at the course again, did the finish twice and some striders afterwards.

This was a pretty awesome race, the course was flat and fast.  There were a lot of girls there so I got tied up at the first behind some but i worked my way up.  It was pretty cold so I actually think that helped because my body was under unfamiliar conditions.  I passed V and Michelle so I actually finished 4th on my team, even though I am supposed to be the 6th runner.  Oh this was in Nampa, Idaho by the way.  Our girls and guys team beat all the hawaii schools, which was pretty awesome.  Well anyway, I was trying to run this race smarter than the last one, starting out slow and accelerating throughout.  It worked out a lot better, I would have beat my 5k time by a minute if it were a 5k. 

took a day off !

So I bought some sweet trial shoes and a speedbelt at Golden Harper's store in Provo so I could start doing some more trail running.  I ran up in the mountains today on the Laie falls trail.  It was really pretty!  Then I cut through Laie park when I got back down to add on an extra loop, of about a mile probably, instead of going straight home. 

Went on a somewhat distracted run by myself because no one on earth would go with me.  It was nice.  I think I am going to shape it up next week and do a lot more running!

I went running with my friend Aaron today, who hasn't been running in a while.  I think it about killed him but I had a nice run.  I wanted to run at least eight today but I ended up not having time.  I want to get a lot more mileage in !!

My distance is just a random guess... today was the funnest run ever.  Me, Nate, Diana and Hillary went running on some trails back behind Laie park.  It was so lush, and so beautiful!  We stopped a whole lot to gather lilikoi (i don't know if thats how you spell it)  and it was delicious.  We also played a lot in the dirt because it was the softest nicest feeling soil i have ever felt in my life... so we came back covered in mud with a whole bunch of lilikoi.  And we took pictures of ourselves as savages... hehe.

I was so proud of myself this day.  I wanted to show my friend Joe that I was no wussie, cuz I told him I wanted to run to Waimea and he said he didn't think I could handle it.  So I just went without him and only stopped a couple times.  It wasn't even as bad as I thought it would be.  I found it is really nice just running and running and running... and getting farther and farther... it is a really good feeling.  There were a lot of straightaways that I thought would never end but they did and it was always a good feeling getting to the next town or beach.  The run from Laie to Waimea was about 14 miles.  I took the bus home and ran home from the bus stop.  Total running time 2:10.  Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do something!!
