USU

first day out! big group! its gunna be a good season. hip flexor sore

hip flexor getting worse.

hip flexors is getting better. its probably just a getting started pain

nice grass run. i should look into getting some new shoes

hip flexor is pretty much all better.

nice run with mattew this morning. we pretty much just made some junk up with my handy dandy garmin

went running whyle at camp. thats cold hard proof that im much more dedicated to xc this year! I have always always always had trouble running when the team wasent meeting but my goal this season is to not miss a single fudgin run! it was tough! 9000 ft at 7:20 pace

i dident run quite as much as i should have but i did do some intence mile races durring the relay races up in the mountains. i also did lots of other intence raceing like swimming kayaking, bikeing and stuff. 

quick run after getting home from camp. buisey day but i had to do someting! it felt good. my hip flexor is getting sore again. i'll do the stuff coach told me to do.

we did parkway maveric run today. but backwards! i dont think we have ever done it that way in the summer! but oh well. i went pee and had a tough time catching back up on the hill and i was breathing pretty hard. looks like i have some shape to get into right? well my hip flexor is still sore but nothing too bad. its just walking around durring the day and not as much on the actual run. i have been doing the trev robs and warior stuff. although i dont thing im doing the warior pose right cuz it just feels like its working my sexy thighs....not that thats a problem right coach? hehe>:) oh well its probably just a starting up soreness. i"ll be fine! i just cought up the last 2 weeks on the blog and hopefully i"ll be pretty consistant with the updates! so i hope that made all you blog stalkers happy!

went up to the dirt mile. it felt tough today! i struggled to get thrugh even 4 miles! side aches and breathing pains were what hurt, not really any leg fatigue. afterwords my hip flexer was pretty sore but i learned some proper techniques to takeing care of it no biggie. got some poop thrown at me at kids club.

dang i had a tough run today! i had a major sideach and my hip flexor was jack although its getting better i can tell. oh well i just had to tell myself allrighty its gunna hurt for the next few miles i might as well get used to it....and i did! it hurt but i guess running hurts dosent it? im hopeing my pains are "just getting started again" pains:)

did a grass run today, and it felt pretty good overall. litttle side crams and painsbut oh well i'll get over it. feelin better though sofar!

we did a prett  good run around coral canyon. the hills werent too bad actually! megan told be to eat a bananna before and i did about 20 minutes beforethe run and i dont knowif it was justt coinsidence or just bannanas;) but my side cramps were far less noticeable! and i shaved....so coach is NOW in the lead;)

100 degrees...hot! i guess you should be alot more hydrated before you do thoes EVEN IF ITS JUST 3 MILES!! i thought i would be allright because i have the gouldiness you know? but dang i felt sick! in the bad way... i ran up to maveric and down the parkway to the park to get watter but when i got there i felt more sick than thirsty so i went on my way but then like 2 minutes later i got buzzy so i stood under a tree and i noticed my heart rate was thrugh the roof! i should have measured it but it felt like i just finished a race and i was only at mile 2 of a easy 3 miler! but i stood there and took deep breaths to get my heartrate down again then took it easy the last 1.3 miles. i think we need to adress the importance of hydration to the newcomers at xc practice and also  remind even us expirienced folk to drink 100 oz every day! even i forget;) oh well lesson learned! and i also feel way acomplished cuz this is my 3rd saturday run in a row! that has only happened a handfull of times! and i dont plan on stoping this trend:)

had a nice run up the parkway and down the washingto backroad for a nice 3 miles. dident get one side cramp untill the last 20 feet literally! so yah it was good! then i went to the gym for some weights with mattew. last time i went i got pretty sore so i toned it down one notch for every machine i did. im just going for a stronger core after all. its only 11 and ive drank just about 100 oz already! good day of workin out:)

had a good run up at the dirt mile. though about xc season this year, and yes coach robbie, i thought about how out convesation wasent very nice, kinda weird and a little humorous, but it might have been a 1 sided humor but hey! lots of my jokes are only funny to me right holt?;) but anyways i felt pretty good and relaxed even though sometimes we got down into the 7:00 pace and i usually dont feel att that smooth at that pace.

had a really nice 7 miler up the grapevine hill and down the coral canyon side! coach, i cant remeber...was that a loop? haha but ya it was way good! the first 3 miles were kinda tough but once we were on top of the hill i felt way great the rest of the way! but i had to "go" quite a bit... but yah i had a top notch run today. i should be getting new shoes but theses kinects are sooo comfey! i like that soft  slightly minimal bottom feel they give and they arent hurting my planters like so many other shoes do! but yah im getting new ones soon enough

had a nice run 5:45 am cuz im going to camp helaman at 7. ran with my dogtown homies because all of washington stake priests are going too. the grass was really soft on the inside of the feild where we did good striders.i feel like my form is improveing.

matt woke up at 5:30 to run up at camp helaman. dummy! why would you wake up that early when you have hours of free time to run durring the day? well i went running all by my self up at 8.5 k feet up near mamoth. itwas lonely and the high altitude made for some tough running. im glad coach showed up because if he dident im thinking there would have been like a 50/50 chance i wouldent have even gone. 

went on a quick run just so i could have a tiny run in today. i got home from camp, ran, then i had to get ready to speakat a baptism so a quick 14 minute run was all i had time for. it felt fine though
