USU

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:)
