Out of difficulties grow miracles

First day running for summer. I was really surprised at how many people were there. Anyway, started with a barefoot warm up of .5 miles. My group went the 3 miles and although it was harder than I thought it would be I enjoyed getting back to running, can't wait till tomorrow.

2nd day back and already way easier than yesterday, 3 miles again after a half mile warm up. and then we got back and started running club, i got stuck with the 7th and 8th grade boys, a little more than i expected to show up for them but still had fun combining with the 7th and 8th grade girls and running a bit playing capture the flag.

Extremely tired today and wasn't feeling that great during the run but towards the end i started feeling better. Hamstrings were surprisingly sore afterwards wasn't really expecting that, but will stretch anyway. 

barefoot miles after warm up at the park place near there. Was really nice and easy today, the best i've felt all summer.

Ran just an easy three, although didn't seem as easy as it should have, kept getting side aches and wasn't breathing to well. I don't know why it seemed to be harder today but i started running later than i usually do. Muscles are really sore but they usually are right as i start running

Nice easy normal warm up felt pretty good. Same with the beginning of the run still felt great but then started to get a side ache and it just went down hill from there, literally. After the run felt good but didn't get much time to stretch so hope that doesn't back to haunt me.

With the best run yet and another easy warm up i felt pretty good. Running club now thats a different story did a race with the older kids harder to do my part than i thought, but some of those kids. running club added about a mile

Nice easy 4 miler today, the pace was a little bit faster but still easy. Ran to sandbergs and swam a bit, the water was surprisingly warm. Afterwards stretched my quads due to stiffness and when i got home rolled and iced feel better now.

Grass run today was just awesome felt so good, the grass was nice and soft and i was just having a good time. 3 miles on the grass then did striders. afterwards stretched and talked a bit about running this summer sounds like loads of fun.

Ran the region course up at bloomington hills north park. just the usual .5 warm up. Then we ran the course and this was the fastest run we have done all season, wasn't hard for me to stay with the main group but the picked up pace gave me a side ache, but just a little one. Other than that it was quite fun.

With a regular half mile warm up already done we started a bigger warm up of two miles. When we got back we did a work out called vVO2 which is running hard for 6 minutes. did ok and stayed in the middle of the pack my distance was 1596 not to bad for the beginning of the season. after we did a mile cool down

Well, today was quite a fun day. We started with just the regular warm although today i was a bit late which was awesome. After planks and what not we headed of to the dirt mile. There it seemed like we were going way to fast, which gave me a huge side ache. The mileage after that was just short of 4 miles but later in kids club made up the difference. 

Grass run all round today. Three miles on the grass and then did striders also on the grass. I enjoyed the run as usual today but my left ankle started to hurt a little, and i think that is because of the angle of the grass. Striders was better on my ankle though.

Two Parkway loops today and i must say i was not prepared for them. I felt like we were pushing the pace the entire time at least the first bit, when we first got to the starting pick up pace i stuck with the top guys the whole time then  with a little left just fell behind and couldn't keep up. I was having a hard time breathing after the first one and had the worst side ache ever. By the time i was about to start the second one I could breathe easier and side ache was mostly gone. I didn't push as hard on the second one, just couldn't do it. And that helped me a ton after the second felt way better than after the first. Took it slow the rest of the way back still with a little side ache but was gone when i got back.

Today was a pretty nice run, my usual side ache problem wasn't a problem today. We did 4 miles today starting at Heritage park in coral canyon the trail we went on kind of like a smaller version of roller coaster hills. We went pretty fast, again, for no reason, but still was fun.

Just an easy saturday run. Did my run later than usual because i woke up later than usual and I didn't want to run in the intense heat, and so i waited till it cooled down a bit and it was still quite warm but not in direct sunlight which was better. Nothing really painful or sore, just an easy run.

vO2 today which is similar to the vVO2 that we did last monday but instead of going six minutes we went 15 minutes which was much harder. Wasn't feeling to good in my stomach and just didn't help my running at all. Felt like i pushed hard but could have pushed harder, next time i will bring a watch. I ran 2 miles and 595 meters.

Interesting work out today that was based off of the vVO2 last monday. I had to run 133 meters in 30 seconds for as many times as i could i guess my mileage around 5.5 because of how many times i ran the 30 seconds and also helped pace the kids club race. The 30 seconds was fairly easy at the beginning and then of course as we kept going it got harder i stopped at 31 times and as soon as i did i regretted it, I wish i had kept on going until coach told me to stop. Towards the end i slipped and fell and got mud and water all the way up my legs, and it also soaked my shoes which wasn't fun.

Fun run today, nice and easy after and before a workout is what i like. Ran 4 miles on grass with striders after and felt great through it all. Today I also led the whole pack with Cameron, Preston, and Jason, lots of fun.
