Failures require the time to be studied

Woo!!! I love that feeling of acomplishment. Its the best. Run today was smooth and felt just fine. I started at my house and went down river road.  Then ended up at Summit and around the springs. Through washington and back home. 7:30 pace

Woo!!! PR on weekly miles  I now have 305 miles on my shoes.

AM: Just me and Ruth this morning. Coach had to catch up on sleep. It was pritty cold till i got bout to mile 1.5.

PM: 7 Green springs loop. Me and the boys had a good run with coach teaching us some tips while running. At the begginging i felt terrible till i got my acid pill in me. Then i felt great.

Tempo miles today woo!!! Na i wasn't that excited. But i felt mostly fine on all four of them. Just regular running pains.

I think we went kinda fast. We were practicing our mile race tactics of drafting each other  every 200. So i think thats what got us going a little to fast.

On the way back we caught every  body WALKING!!!! EVERY  ONE!!! and passed them Ha ha ha ha ha ha
 

AM: This morning it was prity dang hard to get my butt out of  bed and to practice . . . then i had like a vision or something of coach yelling at me to get to practice. . . . so i came!!! :) 

It was just me, coach, and tyler.  Kinda cold but still feels good once you get warmed up and running. :)

PM: 4 AT today. Felt just fine. Our mile pace ( mine and kimz) was a few seconds slow, but i still felt like i put in a good work out. :) Im getting race jitters every day now!! :)

333.95 Miles on my shoes. They are holding up great. Thanks for the good pick Steve!!

7 mile green springs (Dirt) Every one was going sub 8:30 pace. Felt way slow so i felt like i sucked again. :( But it was a fun run. I got out of class a little early and ran an 800 to see how my leggs were feeling after lifting today.

AM: Oh my gosh!! Im so excited/nervous/Scared about the meet today!! But anyways . . . the run this morning was just fine. Im glad i didnt ditch cause it kinda made the little pain in my knee go away. Just me Ruth, Kimz,Josh, and jeff towards the end. :)

PM: HURRICANE INVITE!!!

Yay!! I PR ed in my 2 mile!!! 10:41

HURRICANE INVITE: Im Just PR ing all over the place. I woke up at 7 in the morning ( felt kinda worn out) and ate some cereal. Then drove over to the bus and rode to hurricane. during the warm up i felt ready to race. We finaly got up to the line in the race and took off!!! I felt just fine through the race excluding all regular running pains. But what bugged me was that the 3 rd lap sucked. I felt like there was nothing there. But i got new found energy when my team started to pass me up. So i stuck with them and the we all kicked at like 220 and i ended up out kicking them. But i owe them big for the help during the race.

AM: I really enjoy running in the morning. Morning as in 8 not 5:30. Me and Danny did our warm up, then waited for the rest of the team to get there and get ready. We did the bank 5. After i only did some leg lifts.

PM: 5.5 Steli hill run. Drove to the school ran a warm up. did my run and my bare foot striders. Nothin to unusual. I had some chilli cheese fryes right before my run and they did just fine. No problems, a little sloshing but that is about it. Felt great!!:)

AM: Woke up felt excited to go run. Drove to the school and did my warm up. HILLS TODAY!!!!! The first hill was the toughest because i have forgoten how bad they hurt. Ha ha me and kimz were messing with goolds head by running right behind him up the hill, (Due to his competitiveness) At the top he stoped and about died. Ha ha ha ha i laugh. He is still cool i just like messing with him.

PM:This after noon i played Ultimate with Josh jeff willy and Nathan. I was so tired from our hills this morning. :( but i still love them. ........ at least when we dont have two a days. After that i ran the same as yesterday. Danny ran it with me. He kept pulling ahead of me which kinda bugged me. but i didnt let him mess my pace up. ha ha ha ha :) I just got back playing church ball ..... im going to stay away from it for a while. we played with the old pissed off guys so i kept getting the crap beat out of me. So i called it quits. good thing to. I have a weird pain in my shin but not the muscle. Its the bone it self. A dull pain that has its sharp moments. ANY TIPS??

AM: 800 warm up with danny boy. Today we did the Green springs 5. Getting up this morning was terrible. Good thing monica was there to make sure that i came cause if not i wouldnt be writing this now. :)

PM: This afternoon i went swimming with my little brothers and got wasted there. ugh! I saw Colby neilson ( Economics teacher) finishing one of his runs outside of Sand Hollow and talked with him for a second. I started my run at about 8:50 and ran out to the baseball feilds to watch my little brother for a little bit. Then back. About 3/4 miles away from my house i practiced running my 2 mile race pace at about 5:15, then about 300 away i dead on sprinted. Felt good, Fast, and Strong. >:)

AM: This morning was way easy to get up. Im not sure if i was just excited to see every one or if running late at night actually helped my Run-esteem. :) ha ha ha  Today we did Steli hill. Boaring when its just me but today everybody ran it so it was more intertaining. We were going pritty dang fast for an easy run. About 6:45. Danny is actually showing some commitment now. :)

PM: club run tonight!! Feels good to be out running with the guys again. Today instead of doing our regular run we did the Spectrum 10k route. It felt like a good course. The last little bit will be tough though. After we finished that we kept going on till about 10 to clydes( i dont think thats how you spell it) house and drove back to the club. Good run i was tired but not enough to make me regret running it.

AM: Mother took off to the gym and told me to babysit the little bros and run later. Dang snapy :/ But im excited for today!! Im going to go get me some new shoes. My plan is to still use the 2120's and alternate with my new pair. That way i shouldnt need shoes till cross country races start. :)

This rae was one of the funest races i have raced. My first 10K. Woo! :) Me and my Dad got the the meeting place to ride the buses up at about 7:30. Then we just chilled for a while till the buses started taking people up. Me and The "Wild Bull" did a warm up and found the rest of the club guys and stretched. When the gun went off i went out with coach and then shortly realized that i was going a little fast so i held back. The rest of the race was chill.. . . . Painfull but chill. I started to get shin splints (Probibly from brand new shoes) at about 3 but i pushed through them. The last .3 was way fun! I worked on my kick and actually passed a guy that was about 50 meeters ahead. Hecka tight race!!! Im looking forward to running more. :)

PM: Oh my freaking Gosh!!!! That single handedly was the hardest work out i have done!!! I kid you not........ Every one agrees! What really sucked about today was the fact that no one was even near their race pace mile times. not a soul........ my best one was 5:09 and that was on the first one. But any ways i put forth all of my effort in this run and thats all i need to know. Goold was about to die!! Me willy and kimz were helping him get back to the school without dying!!!!!  But other than that it was a nice day today!!!
