USU

hills, hard!! haha but i stuck with the group

nice barefoot run, no problem

fartlick was tough but it was a good run

i ran with the american fork xc team today and it was pretty different. apparantl;y each monday they do something called a grinder. its a 10 mile run with a 1.3 mile uphill tempo. its sounds a lot harder than it is though because they stopped 4 or 5 times during the run and i didn't have too much of a problem staying with that top 10 or 15 group until the last 1.5 miles or so when they were running pretty fast on the last stretch. i fell behind about a track length or so. pretty good run though

great run again, but dang its like  afxc does all their runs tempo! haha i fell behind the top group a bit, then apparently they stop for a few minutes during their runs and i kept up pretty good for the rest of the run.

a nice and easy 4 mile run and core exercises. bummed that i missed the race yesterday!!

hot, had vision problems and major headaches all day thenceforth. probably hydration issues. i have been slacking this past week a little bit and have been eating tons of junk and beeing a lazy Please follow Fast Running Blog policy regarding vulgar language and im sure im going to get slaped in the face later because of it.

just got slaped in the face. the race was simply embarasing. granted i have been a little bit sick with the stomach flu i little but i definantly learned my lesson. i could have pushed alot harder and stuck with the top group but i dident and in the end i just wasent doing what i could have. slacking with my runs these past 2 weeks and eating crap and beeing lazy have definantly screwed me over. its kinda a wake up call haha. no more slacking from now on and i am going to be acting like last year and the first part of summer in terms of dedication and healthy living. i have been excausted these last few days and it has been tough but it could be alot worse so screw you exaustation because im doin my runs!! it has also been very hot so if someone can turn the tempreture down i would appreciate it. on the posotive side the morning run was amazeing.

 exctreamly nervous about races.

morning run was amazeingly fantastic and i felt great the rest of the day.

afternoon was pretty hot and i had a tough time the first part up green springs and fell behind a bit. then after the turnaround i felt good again i pushed up to the group again. im finally feeling less exausted then i have been lately and thats a good sign. lookin forward to morning run tomorow.

morning run was super. after lunch i got bad stomach aces and started getting throw up feelings so coach had me not run in the afternoon kinda bumbed but its so i can get better. hopefully ill be all better by saturday

felt great, ran hard with hunter

felt nice and strong on the warm up and that was a comfort. my attitude for all of the previous races i have ran was pretty stressfull and nervous but this time i had a attitude that i was here for fun, and it was! i felt very strong the whole first loop and passed one after another untill i got to the unreachable manu! but pushed the last half hard too, i was pretty happy with my time and im hopeing to improve it my a bit next week at suu, and get in a full good week of training this week too.

Really good 3 miler this morning and a good run this Did a little exctra temo to justify going to the river

Morning run was dandy as usual, really worked on high knees durring it too.

thousands were strong but slightly inconsistant. did some good weights & plyos with a refreshing ice bath to top it all off.

the one time that i dont show up to morning pracitce is the morning they have a contest to see who showed up the most, and the girls won i guess because i wasent there haha whatever! but afternoon was pretty good! miles were about 7:15 both times so kinda slow actually but i pushed my 200ds hard and my cool down as well. starting to get pain in my shin but am takeing care of that pretty good. time to get new shoes i think.

morning run was good, pain in shin getting worse but spent 20 minutes iceing it after and it felt great the rest of the day. 

havent done barefoot in a whyle and it was a plesant change. it was super hot however but over all a nice run. shin hurt durring and a little bit after the run. hit the weights and plyos. iced shin even more.

great run to starbuck. got a great paper from coach about pain. excited for the race tomorow.

ahhhh!!! i dont care that pride is of the devil, im very proud of myself! broke my goal for this year and now my goal is to stay consitant with less than 18 minutes now. that course is kinda short so i'll have to step it up next time. if only i would have passed that dessert hills kid we would have tied!! oh well, that gives me a goal for next year: not to lose the win for us haha but really that does give a goal not only for me but for all jv and that is to black out again at region this year. i belive we will be ready. not dissapointed at all though, i tried really hard and a got a shnazy t shirt so all is well. next race is dixie blegh haha hay bales are dumb.

morning run was good. finally got a locker (small, but still a locker) so i dont need to haul my (super sexy byu) bag back and forth from school everyday. 

my least favorite run, for four miles at least, would have to be shoe run! i very much dislike it. i also dident drink alot of water today and what a mistake that was! 4 miles or not water makes all the difference. i'll be sure to drink plenty for tomorows thousands work out.

thousands were hard but then again the always are! but kept pretty solid times.

morning run was great. 

Track Workout! they are hard! but i love em haha. felt way solid and strong today. morning run = muy bien. first time at 6am for a whyle
