STS

3 AC just getting back from break! Leg has no pains :)

Fun run down the dog pound.. Only expected to go three then we decided to go four and then we tried creating an extention but we didnt have a lot of time to get lost so we are going to try it again another day when we have sierra's watch and some more time! :)

Legs were sore from yesterdays run for some reason.. ha we went up the green spring and the way up hurt but the way back started to feel a little bit better but still my breathing is way out of it... We did warmup loop after just cause... hahaha

I think it was around five.. I actually have no idea.. Me and Sierra went on quiet the adventure today... hahahaha It was way fun except my legs are exhausted! ha

Went three with cassidy and then when i got back sierra was just leaving so i went another one with her...

arghh... I'm sick of these bummm runss!!! I think I might be due for some new shoes so I might go get some.. I just really hope things start flowing soon... Me and sierra went and lifted a little after the run... I'm hoping to make that routine??

3 and some lifting afterwards... Lifting felt good even though it hurt! ha

3 and lifting again... felt ok except legs are wayyyy sore! haha

three and lifting again.. I need to bump the mileage up way bad but I never have time and I dont feel good about it yet!

So I was being a lazy butt and I was totally not going to run today.... After school I went home with Micci and just hung out but then I had to go run errands and the whole time I was wishing I had ran so when I was done with them I drove back to the school at like 4:45 and changed and took off.. It was funny cause then Micci saw me while I was running! Ha but it was good and I'm going to bump up the miles next week hopefully!!

three miles than lifting and then a mile of barefoot striders...

4 miles out to Chuck.. It felt pretty good today except for my stomach... and then lifting and than a really STRONG mile of striders.. I felt way good today even though I could feel the muscles were fatigued I still pushed through it!

Good workout again!!! 5 around bank... Just an easy run.. Then lifting... And striders.... I'm reallly starting to like striders! :)

4?? I dont realy know how much this was.. we ran out to this new hilll old man hills and ran two of them and then ran back... It KILLED me...

I dont know for sure again but out to sun rise tire and then 2 200 hills up sunrise and 1 400.. once again my legs are killing me!!

EASY FOUR!! It was wayy fun.. Me rachel and Sierra went out and we just had fun and enjoyed ourselves.. I was way hyper.. it was fun! :)

Oh goodness.... 2 mile warm up on DI... Then we had 2 sets of 800's with a 200 jog inbetween.... It was toughh... I only got like three hours of sleep last night so i started to feel fatigued even on the warm up.. And then I didnt do to great on my 800's.. I just haven't had to drive lately.. I think its from tiredness thoughh... Hopefully i get better sleep!! Then a 2 mile cool down...

Holy hannah green springs six sucks on the way out there but on the way back its a blast!!!! haha slow six but I'm hoping my legs loosen up by next week!

I think six miles.. Coach asked us a really good question.. How do you do repeats without a watch??? Ha I DONT KNOW I think my mom needs to know about that! Coach corrected my form which i think is why my shoulder has been hurting.... but hopefully i can fix that!

AM: 3 just to AC Ha I need new shoes I think cause I'm starting to get that consistant throb in my calfs and shins... Ha great first morning practice with me being the only one was a little intimidating being the only one running with coach HA but it felt nice to know I did it.. I forgot how accomplished morning workouts feel through out the day...  :)

PM: Fun run out into Washington with Coach Roberts, Sierra, And Ashley.. It was good except I am really starting to feel the shoes! :( darn it i didnt want to have to spend money on some again!! :( Then we went and lifted and did some striders.. What a big day!! ha

7.5... i dont really know how much this was but the PVHS blog says it was 7.5 so i'll take it!! :) they were tough to push way hard but they weren't unbearable like a lot of workouts have been lately.... haha I really enjoyed this run.... Ready for morning tomorrow! :)

3 in the morning... Pretty good pace today.. My legs felt good and didnt feel like i needed new shoes..

5- 2x800 repeats 200m recovery and 2mile warm up and cool down.... after i lifted and played frisbee thats why i added the half mile on to my distance for the day! :) hahahaha it was pretty tiring!

wow it feels wierd to blog little miles like this again! :) hahaha easy day.. Much needed cause I was so out of it today! Ha this short week has seemed to go on forever.. Kind of ironic.. But it was a good run.. The first part was rocky but towards the end it felt good.

Three miles in the morning.. I missed the afternoon workout and I was way upset.. My mom asked me to come home and help her out with the kids while she went and ran errands and then she didn't get home till after dark! :( dang

am- 3. Yep I am VERY ready for new shoes! argh they hurt..

pm- I started after everyone... Like 45 minutes.. cause I went to help Micci out. It was kind of a slower run cause my legs are still throbbing but I did it.. Coach said I'm sort of transitioning from level 2 to 3 so he added an extra 400 hill in there. So I ran to the hill and then did a 400 hill. 2x200 hills and then another 400 hill. My 200's were pretty strong. The second half of those sunrise tire hills kill me!! But I finished and lifted after. Goood workout!

Oh wow... I was sooo excited when I heard coach tell me today was a four mile run.. I was expecting like 6 at the least!!!! It was sweet cause I got to run with rachel again today.. We talked about her lame boy problems the whole time.. Quiet funny :) Striders afterwards felt good... Nice easy run today! :)

REPEATS! 800's... My legs felt good but not all the way there yet.. I felt like I didn't have control over them like I wanted.. But it was a good run.. Lifting after made me realize how tired I am! Ha and so the season begins! :o

I hate not counting striders as part of my miles!! hahaha oh well... It was a four mile easy run today.. And all day during schoool I was so excited but then during eighth i looked out the window and it was snowing!!!! So the run was FREEZING and at the end we were PELTED... and then we had to do striders and my entire foot was numb.. it was crazy! ha Good to be done..

Some stuff came up after school so I only got my morning work out in.. I guess today was officially really the last day that I was allowed to miss workouts cause next week track starts!!

Ha wow... this went by smoothly but it was so boring.... I didn't know what to do to stay entertained.. I went over the big telegraph hill.. that was "fun" ha... glad I got the miles in though.

dangit! shin splints wayy bad didn't even realize it. I wore these shoes too long! I got new ones though! :)

So I hurt my legs a little more than I realized with those old shoes so we were heading out to hills and I was in so much pain Rachel thought I was crying! So we ran to the running center. He said I was CRAZY tight. So he gave me some things to get rid of them.

wow.... ha thats all I have to say about the miles today!

AM: three miler... Legs still pretty tight from yesterday but worked them out a bit..

PM: I wasn't even planning on doing the workout cause I was suppose to stay away from speed for a couple days cause of my shins. But coach told us the workout and I headed out with Rachel and Trevor's watch(I love running with a watch!!) but it just felt way good.. ok maybe not way good but it felt loads better from this morning and yesterday so I just went with it and did 6.75 miles with 30 min tempo. The tempo pace wierdly wasn't that hard but I picked it up a little bit faster than what I was designed to go. Coach said that would be ok. When we got back we did 2x200m repeats. Then went into the gym and lifted and then did 5xbare foot striders.. It was so nice to be done!!

Me and Rachel were heading out for our easy 4 miler a little bit behind the rest the team because I stopped to talk to Rachel Pulsipher who was at the school.  So right when we got onto the busy street and were catching up to the team one of the girls stopped running and was limping way bad so me and Rach stopped to see if she would be ok but she couldn't stand but she couldn't sit either because it hurt so bad.. So I told Rachel to stay there with her and I ran back to my car and brought it over and drove her back to the school and then we carried her into Mark. It was scary cause just hitting the bumps in the road hurt her.

So AFTER all that me and Rachel started our run.. Like a half hour after everyone else... It felt good! Whats funny is when we started heading out the first time I felt like crap but after we helped her to the school the second time we left felt so much better. We did striders after and it flew by.. It was a great run today.. Nice and easy! :)

AM: 3. At the beginning I thought I was not going to be able to stay with them at all. But five minutes into it things calmed down and I stuck just fine..

PM: funniest six miler ever! Me and Sierra both wanted to just do something fun, enjoy running and just getting out there again.. so After we got to the park in Green Springs and were heading back we tried to think of games to play.. We were doing crazy stuff like running in the turning lane for like 2 miles and all this crazy stuff... we finally made up this fun game where you have to list and remember all the random objects you see on the side of the road whille your running and you have to keep adding to the list but remembering everything... it was way fun! Ha

almost exactly like last weekends eight!! slow but got it done.. thats all that matters

three in the morning KILLED it was SOO slow too.. only one and a half after school.. :( i'm way bummed.

2 warm up with the team... timed them as they did repeats... 2 cool down.. ARGH

Uh oh I dont remember the runs cause I'm blogging these way later.. I believe it was a three in the morning and then three after school?

.5 warm up... 4.5 run around the track to keep my shins in check!

three in the morning and then four after school

took saturday off to make sure my legs were totally good.

SICK :(

So I was talking to Sierra on the warm up and I always thought that coach said that we should record our warmup miles or our strider miles but sierra said she always does.. She we asked coach after we were done with our warm up and he said of course you blog them! ha there are so many miles that I haven't blogged just in warm ups and striders... Just today I got 1.5 from them.. ha oh gosh!!! but Ummmm todays run was kind of fatigued but my shins were doing pretty alright... just a little tightness.. I iced them still and after the four miler we did striders and lifting.. it was pretty nice! :)

AM: Nice run with Sierra.. We did this kind of fast cause we wanted to keep aneye on tyson cause he just took off and coach wasn't here today.. But It felt good so it didn't bother me...

PM: Warm up and drills... then just a nice 5 with ashley G. and Cassidy.. It was fun and we talked alot so it was fun.. Then I finished up with eight striders! These are the days that I run for... :)

I didn't really ask coach how long this workout was so I did it in my head and It came out to about this with all the warm ups and cool downs and stuff..

we did a 2 mile warm up. Then I just got started cause I wanted to be DONE! So we started with a 600 and then two 400s and then three 300s and then five 200s. It was way hard to get through some of these and some of them just didn't feel like I could go.. My lungs from being sick were kind of off but all around I think I gave it my best effort and it felt pretty good. I iced after..

AM: 3 all alone.. Well the freshman were there... But no girls were. ha

PM: warm up. four miler with sierra. striders. lifting..

I dont really remember exactly what I ran each day but I think my week total was about 20.. maybe a little more.. My legs were in bad shape all week.. :(

YES! good start to the week... Kinda. ha morning run hurt but it was good to get my legs moving again.. Ran 6 with Rachel and Laura from DH came over to run with us... Me and rach did a mile of barefoots after.

The workout sheet said this was a 6 mile run so... Ha but this was SOOO fun.. I loved it. I ran the warm up to the trail with Rachel P. who is coming back to PV :) and then she turned around and I took of... It was a 2min hard, 1 min easy, 1 min hard, 30sec easy. 30sec hard, 30sec easy. I loved it.. The time flew by and I was pushing really hard. It hurt but it was finally a good hurt not a injury hurt ha. On the cool down home my shins cramped a little but it wasn't a big deal. When I got back I just stretched out..

I love this spring break work out stuff.. Its so much nicer than waiting all day to do your hard workout... I wish it was summer!!!

So my mileage count is kind of wierd today. But I am just going to go with what the workout sheet says.

So I didn't go to practice today but I got up at 6 to go on a hike with my brother and some friends up in kanab. So we went on a 8 mile hike and while we were up there the trail seemed like it was never going to ernd so they sent me ahead running to find the end.. which I never found.. So I ran a little on the hike.. Then when I got back down and we got back into st george I went for a 4 mile run and then did some barefoot striders after... So I decided even though it was walking my hike can count for 2 miles.. the running part of the hike was about a mile... so thats 3 and then 4 miles and striders makes 8.... oh and I went to Young womans after I ran and we play capture the flag there so I ran around there more... crazy day!

2 mile warm up

7x400 repeats

Ha I was DEAD from yesterday and I haven't done a hard workout for a little while so I didn't totally hit my times but I know that I gave it all I had and I felt really good about this workout. I ran with a watch for the first time on one of these and it helped so much. I think I'm going to start doing it all the time.

5 miles easy

5 miles out with sierra. At the beginning I thought I was done for. I had already lost sierra AND rachelP within the first 3 minutes.. But my legs finally came back to me and I caught up to sierra and we went for a 5 mile out on some random trails by fire station.. It was fun. Striders after. Sierra had her watch on while we did them and we did seven and had already hit a mile. I think we did them a little long though cause we did them on the baseball field.. then lifted after..

three miles around six.. It was tough but I did it.. thats whats counts right?? ha

I can really feel spring break wearing and me.. ha it feels good though.. Even though I'm dead by the end of the day I feel like I'm getting things done and having fun.. Long run tommorow!

8 miles easy.

Long run today! It was way crazy! way fun!! went out with sierra and we combined all sorts of runs.. greensprings, firestation, dogpound, and then finished out in the fields... It was way fun.. I was feeling pretty good about my mileage until I looked at coaches blog and saw he ran 42 TODAY ha maniac!

4 miles easy

8x barefoot striders

3 miles easy

-Pretty easy runs.. No enjoyable.. Well the 4 miler and striders killed me.. I have a killer cough and I seriously was wondering if I was going to sufocate on this run. When we stopped my whole throat would just close up and I would take short gasping breaths to get oxygen in.. After we did 8 striders..

-Tonight I really didn't want to run. But I forced myself out there.. After work I drove over to the school and did AC I can't stand running in coral canyon so even though AC is brutal because we do it so much.. It was better than CC.. This run was a little better than the morning run. It was cold and windy but my pace felt stronger...

1/2mile warm up

2 mile warm up

4x1000 repeats

this was a good but tough one.. I was really nervous about a hard workout to start out with cause my breathing and cough have been way bad.. and my legs have been bothering me.. But I did the 2 mile warm up and my legs were pretty stiff...

2nd- 4:22

3 miles in the morning

4 miles easy

ha wow!!!!! 2 hours of sleep.. this was a crazy loopy day!

ohh goodness RACE DAY! nerves all day long!!!!

Race time came and I was so nervous but we took off

i think this was roughly my splits

1:26

1:43

1:49

1:40

I felt good and strong except for the middle 200 of the fourth lap.. When I talked to coach he told me I moved up strong but can't let my last 3 laps slip like that.

the two mile.. What an experience! never ran it before... crazyyy nervous! I started out in the middle of the pack again.. Struggled with getting trapped on the corners a lot throughout the first couple laps.. When everyone settled in though I passed people pretty strong. Then I battled it out with a snow canyon girl pretty much the whole race.. I was ahead... Then she caught me and i worked on catching her.. Caught her and we ran together for a couple laps.. Everytime I went to pass she would pick up and elbow me! ha but I finally shook her off and passed her and one more girl before I finished... 14:29

3 miles in the morning! CRAP! I really dont know what to do about my leg..

6 miles easy.. really long.. my leg struggled bad on hills...

8xbarefoot striders..

I am mentally struggling really bad with this no running thing. It effects everything! I never realized how much a run in the morning can jump start your day and get it started so positive.. Even going to the gym every morning and 2 hours every night isn't doing anything.... I love running.. I dont know how many more days I can be trapped in a gym!

laps.... it was wierd

1 warm up lap, stretched

2 laps, walked one

4 laps, walked one

2 laps, walked one

1/2 a mile of striders

i didnt count the walking as part of my miles.. It was an awesome day to just be out running though! :) can't wait to be better! painful today but the doctor said to expect it..

1 lap warm up, stretched

2 laps, walked 1

5 laps, walked 1

4 laps, stretched

Boring but good.. I've come out of this injury (well not totally out but you know what I mean) with a awesome mind set.. Usually I come out of it really impatient and just ready to get back into the full swing of things.. This time I've come out with a true true passion for running... I just love to be out there with the team (or alone)! I'm not saying I don't care about getting back to being faster! Ha of course! But I think this gave me a clearer mind on the sport and will even drive me to push my self faster and faster during those times when I really just want to let go!

got off the bus trip and went for a run in the dark in Lehi! It was so nice to be out with the other girls again. It was just three of us and I probably slowed the pace down but It was nice!! :)

Got BACK from the trip a lot sooner than expected because we turned around early due to weather!! so I got home and got out and got a run in really quick before so ward gatherings and hanging out with friends... hahaha it was nice! I told me self like a lap and then I would end up going for ever!!!! :) I loved it!

Hahahahhaa I love it!! :) I ran half of what I ran all last week in one day today! :) I love running!!! I am getting a little more restless with being stuck on the track but I still love running!! :) ha

2 lap warm up, strethed

8 laps, stretched

8 laps, walked 1 lap

2 laps

2 laps

2 laps

Oh fun stuff!!! :) Dr. Boyer came today to do some CRACKIN hahaha it felt so wierd!! we looked at my legs and told me that one hip had been rotated back or forward or something causing one leg to be longer than the other.... He popped it back into place and said that could help with lots of my problems! That would be cool! haha after I went out on a 4 miler with some girls.. The first part felt way good and then my breathing was off a little... My main problem was just my core.. I'll have to work out that!! It felt good to be out there though! I think I'm doing to mile tomorrow!! eek! ha I'm excited!

Felt so sick all day! Just did really short warm ups and cool downs and my races.. I didn't get awesome times either! 6:52 in the mile and a 3:09 in the 1/2 mile! ahh!!

4 miler by myself after the AP test! ha I came back to the school to run with some girls cause I thought everyone would still be running this week.. But no one was there.. only 3 other boys showed up too so... I took off to chuck alone.

A warm up lap.. and then a 5 miler! Today sucked! Ha I was sooooo slow cause it was soo hot! I am glad I didn't have to run alone though cause Kaylee came out! :)

five out into green springs with Kaylee again! It felt a lot better than yesterday!

Oh goodness today felt goood! Paid luke 2 dollars to use his running watch and went out into washington fields for a little run! we went out and turned around to make it five miles and then I did an extra mile or so while everyone got 44cent 44oz drinks.. hahaha crazies!!! It felt good today though!

ha funny story!!

Not sure how far... Couldn't find the panther paw for the turn around.. probably went alot farther than the actual miles...

Lame!!! To busy couldn't get the miles I wanted in!!

Oh wow! I need to drink water a lot more! I was dying! I am so grateful danny was there to push me even though I slowed him down way bad! We went 1.5 with Sierra and then we went 3 to AC... He was way nice about sticking with me! He rocks! But it felt good to push myself to stay with him and not just totally let go!! I'm excited for the summer! :)

Oh my goodness! Danny dominates me! Ha but what is to be expected! I like running with him or anyone faster cause it pushes me to not slow down!! We just went to chuck and back after school. I was going to run alone but then Danny was getting ready to leave too so...

Just a three miler today.. Had to fit it in somewhere. I was going to go in the morning at the school and then I realized I didn't have enough gas to get out there that many times today.. So I was going to do it in the morning just at home but then my alarm didn't go off... Luckily they year book signing stuff didn't take to long and I got out there after school Right before I went to decorate for the dance! Ha it was hot and I was gross the rest the day but OH WELL! :) I'm excited for SUMMMMEEER!

SO busy.. Didn't get time in to run till later in the day after FHE and it was dark and pouring rain so my mom wouldn't let me go! :(

suprisingly felt really good for being my first run in a week!

AM: 3 miler: with Kaylee just in Coral Canyon.. I felt good! Its still a little uncomfortable and my breathing is off but things are feeling good!

PM: 6miler: Webb hill x2... Oh my gosh I didn't think I had this in me! It felt soo good! I had the greatest runners high ever. Warm up and then up once. Then down a little ways and up again with Kareena. Then down to half way and up to the top again alone. Down again almost to the bottom and up to almost half way with Kareena again. Then down and back up till I ran into Kaylee and Sierra and then back down! Then a cool down! stretched and core workout when I got home..

5 miler around coral canyon with Kaylee. legs still realllly sore!

Fairground qual lake run- Had my leader driver me out and see how far 2.5 miles was from the fair grounds. Me and Kaylee got up early and went down the qual lake road. It was really pretty but a little to dark to see anything. Very hilly, I struggled around the third mile. It was a good run though.

I dont know how far this was.. I know that I did 5x1mile repeats.. but the warm up and cool down I'm not totally sure how long it is.. I'm guessing a little under a mile..

I'm SO frustrated and discouraged.

4 from washington elementary towards green springs. It was better than yesterday but still feeling that same fatigue and dizzyness.. I drink water a lot so I don't know whats up.. I just pray things start to go better!

Still struggling like crazy.. I don't know whats wrong. Everytime I run I get really dizzy...

Went 3 in the morning with Kaylee around Coral Canyon. and 5 out in leeds with the WBR team..

Todays run was so much better than the last couple days.. I am focusing on getting lots of Iron into my diet and eating my vegetables!

Went to the club run at the running center! It was fun. Me and Kaylee took it easy and went 5.5... It was good. We got attacked coming down dog town by a dog! I guess thats where they get the name!

Turtle reserve run- I am still way slow! The sand slowed me down even more. But I am starting to feel a little bit better about it... Slowly building back into the speed I use to be at. I am going to the doctor today to see whats up so hopefully I'll be ok for wasatch! My fingers are crossed.

16x60second repeats! I felt so much better today! It was amazing!!

grass warm up.. 4 miler down to this really cool new trail. I felt a little out of it today but it was still a good run! I'm getting back into things!

It felt good today! At first I felt like I was going to be behind everyone again. But then I caught up and ran with Sierra the whole run. We planned on only going 5 but ended up feeling up to 6. I was a little tired but it was a nice run.

Runner #6.

Leg 6: 6.9- This was a strong run for me.. The first 1.5 miles was brutal cause I wasn't expecting the up hill at all.. after that I totally dropped. It was tough with the dirt and rocks and the switch backs and all the cars getting ready to kill me!!!! finished 4 minutes faster than predicted.

leg 18: 8.1- dead of night, all up hill! SO FUN! I had so much fun on this run! When I started I was so scared cause my legs were soo sore from the down hill earlier but once I got going everything felt good and I just ran it  for myself to remember how much I love running! The hills were tough but I passed tons of people and I finished 12 minutes faster than predicted time.

leg 30: 3.1 My easiest leg but yet the biggest mental struggle. It was tough.. I was dead and sore and tired! ha but I pushed it.. It was hard. I sprinted the last maybe 200 meters and total biffed it in the shoot passing off to cassidy. It was funny. I would have finished probably 2 or 3 minutes faster than estimated but I got stopped at a stop light for literally like 3 minutes! It was retarded!

warm up and a loop with the girls.. Still a little behind them and sore but It felt good to work out the kinks from wasatch.

Coach told us to take it easy.. so I stuck with the boys for about the first half mile and then me and cassidy dropped back and just had a nice relaxing run.. Talked about lots. It was fun, I think its actually the first time i've ran with just cassidy.. Shes awesome! :) good run still a little sore.

My butt hurts so bad! Ha sounds wierd.. But ever since wasatch its been pulling way bad! I gotta stretch it out I guess. .5 warm up on the grass with core and drills and then just a 3 mile run today.. After we did a mile of barefoot striders and played ultimate.. It was fun! Tomorrow I gotta see if I can borrow someones GPS cause I am going to the GRAND CANYON on saturday and it would be the prettiest thing ever to be able to run out there!!!!!!!

Rear end still kills. It was a pretty good run... Felt strong mentally for most of it but not comfortable to I had to really work to keep the pace instead of just letting myself drop. It was fun though.. Ran with Kaylee and then caught up with Sierra to run through some sprinklers... TWICE! haha it was nice and relaxing.. Running in the GRAND CANYON tomorrow! I'm so excited!

warm up on the grass, core, and a run down towards the river.. It was way pretty and felt strong on the way out there.. then the hill got me. But it was a good fun run with the team! Played some ultimate after at nissons.

grass warm up, core excercise. parkway. This run was FUN. I started out with sore legs and then they started to feel good and without even really thinking about it the pace just kinda picked up.. Ran with Kaylee the whole time, she is awesome, felt good! 6 barefoot striders after.

3 miler at night with Kaylee, Rachel, And Sierra. We wanted to do a fun night run so we ran from Sierra's to the double churches on washington fields road and then her parents picked us up! The pace was good and fast, I liked it. Hopefully my body agrees tomorrow at practice!!

This was such a fun run with the girls! We had to extend out towards green springs golf course because the loop we have is only 4. But no one wanted to go up that hill so we all just turned onto a side street! :) Ran through some sprinklers also. It ended up being like .25 over. It was fun to talk about the season and state with the girls. I think some of the girls have made it their goal to be first a state qualifying team and second even try and reach for the region title.. I think we could do it.. just gotta stick together!

AHH.. First time getting to practice late this summer! Ran warm up with Kaylee and did core exercises. Then I FORGOT SOCKS! I was so mad! Thanksfully Corey had some in the back of his car so I took off a little later than everyone and my legs were so sore. Caught some of the girls going three and ran with them for a minute and then ran the rest of the way with Coach Roberts. He rocks.

We talked a lot about the best way to get all the girls to run their best when everyone is at a different pace and fitness level. I think thats one of my biggest goals this year is to have that strong team bond. Where we are happy when someone from our team beats us or kicks us off varsity cause that means we have to fight to get our spot back! Thats something the boys team has that we need to develop. I think I'm going to try and do some team party type things during the summer when everyone is not so busy with school and we can just talk and become friends and team mates! ahhh I hope we can pull it off!

6 striders after..

PM: 8 miles with the club. I am so dead.. It was really sad! Ha it was wierd cause my run this morning was so good. It was probably the 5 hours swimming at the lake that got me.. We got lost running parkway backwards. Strange how a run can look so different and confusing coming from the opposite directions. Hopefully my legs recover, running up in scofield tomorrow!

It is days like today when it seems like it is impossible to fit running into anything!!

My cousin took me out later in the evening on the four wheeler 4 miles away from the cabin so I just turned arond and ran back.. By the time I got off the four wheeler my legs were FROZEN from the cold air and the ride... So i started going and within the first mile there was a hill longer and steeper than sunrise! It sucked.. but I just told myself to push it up and then its all fine from there.. but after I got to the top. the rest of the run was just gradual up hill the whole way! Ha it was so slow.. But When i was done I felt so much better cause i atleast got it done.. Its funny how running works that way..

Woosh! Finally done with the week. Didn't know weither i was actually going to get all my miles in this week but everytime i doubted I just told myself it wasnt a question. Ran from the cabin down along the lake to a camp ground where some family from my moms side was staying.. Stopped and visited for a minute and then turned around and finished up about a mile and my brother picked me up!

Don't really remember the run. Its taken me awhile to blog..

run up in cedar with stef. Hard to get running in.. This conference was BUSY!

easy run with Kaylee.. Definitely time for new shoes! The money is the issue! :(

Not totally sure how long it was.. But it was GOOD! Sorta..

Ha at the beginning we ran all together and it was nice.. its not like we're all going to be able to stick right next to each other the whole run cause you can't control 7 girls but team unity is good! Especially if it means we're pushing eachother.. Like on the hills.. It was good. We all worked together and stuck pretty close to a pack the whole time..

Definitely need to drink more water.. The workout wasn't like a crazy killer but I came so close to passing out just cause I was so dehydrated and light headed..

nice PM run with Sierra.. It flew by and felt like a nice pace....

Core workout at home...

warm up/core/5miler/6striders.. So Frustrated. I don't know what to do in these situations! There was the two group and some girls still pushing the pace a little to much at the begginning but it was ok cause we caught them after the first 2 miles or so and ran together but then Cassidy wasn't feeling to good so I tried to get everyone to run with her cause coach told us we need to run as a team... But No one would.. So what do we do.. let cassidy go and stick the rest of us together or all stick with Cassidy?? Hmm... HELP! I really want it to be a TEAM this year!

3 mile PM run... SOO hot! ahhhh atleast I got it done! :)

warm up/core/6 miles with 4x1min Rpace and 6X30sec R pace..

I listened to coaches advice yesterday to bring my chest forward instead of running upright and putting the breaks on myself. It really helped but I struggled really bad with breathing today. The speed part of it felt good but I struggled with staying with it during recovery jogs and keeping my breathing controlled. Hopefully a day without a PM run will help me recover..

warm up/core/4mile/6xstriders

Good run today Ran with Rachel and the other girls a lot of the way.... Trying not to force the whole team thing but still keep us together.. it was good..

club run. It was a good turn out.. FOR THE BOYS! only three of us girls. But its getting better. And it was such a fun run! It was dying hot so we ran with water. That was a first. And we just had fun and stayed safe by keeping cool and running through lots of sprinklers. Couldn't keep track of the loop the boys went on so we just went on a run we already knew. Legs felt good it was just the feet that ached. Probably cause I still haven't gotten new shoes. All the hard workouts are done for the week! I love it!

I've really felt the passion for running come back STRONG this week. It feels good to remember WHY you get out there every day! :)

warm up/core/4 miler

Ran the suggested course for region.. It was... interesting :) ha me and Kaylee were DEAD from yesterdays run so we kinda didn't know what we were doing.. But the course was a lot of grass! I think If I got use to it and the grass was cut I could like it! :) as much as a XC course is likeable!

Rough couple days at the beginning of the week. I have been kinda sick and had stomache issues and wasn't able to get the run in...

stomache still getting to me and my shoes are COMPLETELY dead.. Suppose to go 5 with the level 2 girls. I ended up only going 3 and at the last hill leading up to the elementary school I stopped and took my shoes off and went barefoot the rest of the way, they were hurting me that bad!

warm up/core/5mile hill workout.

2mile warm up- had to go to the bathroom bad so stopped and lost the team but met them at the hill.. Legs kinda sore

4x1min hills- They felt pretty good. I couldn't hold onto the other three girls totally but I was probably only 2 seconds behind. Legs were sore and REALLY hard to push up the last hill but it was a strong workout.

6x30second hills- Finished it! ha thats what matters. It was pretty good. Felt strong on most of them. Coach told us once we got to him we should pick up the pace since we were getting tired it really wouldn't make us go any faster but it would atleast keep us at the same pace. It really helped!

2 mile cool down.

warm up/core/4mile run/6striders/ultimate frisbee

fun run with the girls. Its just been the four of us the last couple days. Feet reallly ached today! I'm hoping its not the new shoes! Went out by sandbergs pond. Got lost but kaylee found the right route for us but the other girls had already turned around to go somewhere else... So we broke up and all ended up back at the school eventually! ha after we did 6 striders and played some ultimate. I really need to be getting better sleep!

Club run with Sierra and Kaylee. Felt pretty good, starting to not dread this longer runs as much, Feet have been aching from the shoes still but not as bad! I really hope they work out cause I kinda got them dirty on the run today! good run all together :)

4 early in the morning with kaylee.. I wasn't sure if she was planning on running together or not so we got started a little bit later than planned but it was a good run...

Warm up/core/6x1min fartleks+8x30sec fartleks.

I am not sure if it was 5 or 6? but it Felt good today! My breathing was MUCH better and I really felt strong during them I would just stare at Sierra's back and let that pull me along. Good workout overall.

Warm up/core/5mile/6xstriders

Nice run today. Felt strong and legs were recovering. I fell behind the group while trying to kick a stinking rock so it was nice to kinda think out on my own for a little bit again. I needed it! Towards the last mile or so my toes started to go numb.. I don't know what from? Maybe the shoes still? I don't know. But it was a good run.

warm up/core/HILLS

Not getting a lot of sleep is not a very good idea! But These hills were nice.. Rough but felt them making me stronger. 6x1min hills then 8x30 seconds.

warm up/core/4 miles/6xstriders.

Good Run today! Ran with all the sophomores.. Wow their crazy! Ha felt strong and had fun listening to them go off on their little stories! My shin hurts from kicking tason yesterday! Last time I fight him!

8 mil club run! Oh my GOSH! Me and Kaylee had to best long run ever! It felt so good! the pace was so strong the whole time! We talked about it after and we both just stayed positive and ran good. It was raining and way windy! At some points it was pushing against us so hard but we just dug hard! I loved it! Toes still going numb but I don't know what to do about it..

warm up/cores/4 miler

Warm up was shorter seeing as we were at a different park today. Went for a run in my part of town.. except I never use the trails so it was an adventure... Kinda sucked on the way out there.. But on the way back I just stopped thinking and went! It was much nicer!  good run talking with coach roberts.

warm up/ core/ fartleks 6x1 min + 8x30sec with equal recovery

Felt good today! Stuck in with all the girls. It was kinda cool at one point on a cool down I was looking around and we were running almost in like a perfect circle shape. We are doing really good at pushing each other.. I think we just need to work on our water breaks. Ha we stopped for water before the cool down. On workouts like this its not a big deal but maybe on easy runs try and eliminate it more.. Just a thought???? I am going to girls camp the rest of the week and I'm kinda bummed about it cause the season starts next week!!!

I'm not sure now far this was??? But up at girls camp before all the wards got there and it was just the stake leaders I got up early in the morning, did a 2 mile warm up, ran hills (6x1min and 8x30sec) on a hill at the camp.

32 min run with Kaylee. We were going pretty quick and it was a lot down hill but on the way back it was all up hill!

Its been awhile since I've blogged so I don't really remember my workouts.. I'll guess the best I can but I think this was the day we did thousands...

AT workout Had to take off a little early for this run cause I had so many things to do today! It was a pretty stressful day and I knew that I'm running a bit slower than I usually do these days so starting early I could still get back in a decent time in order to make it to my meetings...

 and a mile later in the day... my foot/ankle/shin area is still going asleep.

Feet going asleep still.

went to the doctor after the run and he said he could be so simple as my shoes aren't fit for my feet.. The only problem with that is I just got them like 2 weeks ago and I have no money for a new pair but their to worn in to return them I think... I don't know what to do anymore!

feet didn't fall asleep because I wore my old pair of racing flats but the lack of training this week and this little sick bug I've got really messed me up.. It was a very dissapointing race.

Oh my gosh It felt loads better.. Finally done with all the sickness and medicine.. Working on getting of the medicine and trying to get back in running! I felt so much better running today.. My legs didn't cramp near as bad as it was last week and I wasn't totally drained of energy.. Run with the varsity girls on the warm up today and then ran with JV for the workout of 800's. It was tough and it sucks not being at the speeds I want to be with the varsity girls but I am DETERMINED to race varsity this year weither it kills me and I'm going to be working my butt off to get there.. Its going to be way hard for sure cause those girls are so amazing and I'm so proud of how far they've come and I want to be apart of that for sure!!! I can do it! :)

  I love running I love running I love running! Thats all I have to say! Morning practice 3 miles! First of the year for me.. way fun talked with sierra the whole way.
  Afternoon AT. I didn't feel very good at first so didn't even plan on doing the workout but ended up doing almost all of it! Every time I told myself I should maybe stop and call it a day I just said that I could go that little bit further.

Morning run was fun fun with Kaylee. Even though after I was done coach called me HAGARD! :)

After school was an 8 miler! It was good! and HOT! I ran with my water bottle though so It made it way better and ran by myself. Just one of those days when the group ahead is to fast and the group behind is to slow.. Thats ok it was good! Got a charly horse at mile 5 and went back to mark when I was done and he beat the crap out of it to make it feel better! ha

Oh goodness.. It was a little tough on the way out today cause it was GreenSprings and my right leg is still cramping.. But Its got better on the way back a little and I ran with Dyllen and Taylor.

Dr. Boyer came and adjusted us too and it felt good!:)

AM: AC with Kaylee, Cassidy, and Jessica. It was a way nice pace and it was nice to have that good of a turn out on a morning run for girls. My leg still has a dang charly horse in it so on the way back the girls picked it up a lot and I fell back a little but it was still a good run.

AHH! I started crying before this race because I was so nervous and scared and frustrated!!! But it was an alright race.. I couldn't get in the zone and my time shows.. My calf killed the whole time! I think the only good part about this race was the last lap I saw a PV girl up ahead by about 100 meters or so and I knew I had to get her. At first I just said settle in and finish but I kicked it and caught her and like 10 other girls! It reasured that I COULD race.. The only thing is I have to do it for the whole race! I really want to work on it!

6x800. Warm up. core. warm up DI 6x800s and then a harts cool down..

I felt pretty good for the first two.. the first one was AWESOME! but I couldn't hold that pace.. It was hard but I finished the workout and that is what is important to me this week! Just getting the workouts finished.

AM: We were a little late to morning practice like 2 minutes... So Me and Kaylee just ran together.. It was a nice run! Its so nice in the mornings and I got Hyper!

PM: trail run. 2mile 1mile tempo.. The first part was strong but started to cramp up and get discouraged.. :(

AM: Artic Circle run.

PM:Warm up. Core and an 8 miler...

Just 4 out into washington..

AM: 3 miles and striders before team breakfast

PM:2 miles after we got up north to get the bus ride out of our legs.. I love our team! We are all so close this year and this was such a fun run running with both boys and girls! It rocks!

Nervous for this race! but it was so awesome! Woke up and got out to the track. The whole team did one loop around the course to see where it went. Then I had to wait about 2 hoursish for my race.. A little before my race I started getting warmed up but I guess I was going extra slow cause I almost missed my race! But I guess that got the adrenaline pumping cause I had such a fun race.. All I was focused on was passing girls and going fast. It was fun and I love this course!! A mile or so cool down afterwards.

RUNATHON!

1st set: 3 miles

2nd set:1 mile

Dash: 1/2 mile

SO FUN! Legs felt pretty good too. up until the dash! :)

AM: Got up early and did 3 at home today cause I've got royalty junk to do this morning... It was good. I was very suprised on how good my legs felt after yesterdays runathon! :)

PM:warm up and run over to sunrise and then 4 hills... It was tough but It went by pretty quick and felt good.... I've just really enjoyed running these last couple days.. It feels so good!

AM: I am so happy to say I ran 3 this morning. I woke up a little later than planned so when I started running I thought oh maybe I'll just do 2 miles... Then I got going and the loop I do is .3 miles so I ran 7 and then thought oh just one more and kept doing that till it got down to me having like 2 minutes till my ride came and 1 loop to go to make it 3 miles.. So I just booked it and made it barely before they came! :)

PM: Long day with no sleep. I almost turned around at 4 and then I just trucked through.. It ended up being a good run I ran with Micheal and we had a pretty good pace going.. He's a way awesome kid. I have loved running so much lately!!!!!

Oh my goodness! Such a good day it was just a 4 miler with striders! Felt good. Legs are sore but I didn't really care! I love running :)

AM: Artic circle with Kaylee. This is one of the first days my legs have really slowed me down. But I still got it done and we talked to whole way so it went fast and was fun! :)

PM: Pyraminds. 6,8,10,12,12,10,8,6. Really pushed myself and was way happy with this workout! Got the times I wanted too!

SPEED! 6x800. Oh gosh I know your getting sick of hearing me say I love running! My legs hurt pretty bad and were pretty tight but I'm figuring out how to work through that and just ignore it and GO! It was a good workout with good times and good mentally. Pushed myself the whole time and got times I was shooting for.. stayed between 3:28 and 3:40. The other week I couldn't get under 4:30! CRAZY!

AM: Artic circle and me and kaylee were actually on time so we got to run with all them! It rocked! :) I was a little hyper! It was so fun. Our team is so tight! It rockss.

PM: AT. I really usually don't like AT but just like every run lately I loved it! :) I pushed it and I was ahead of summer of our higher varsity girls and I kept asking myself if I was pushing it maybe to hard but then I would shake it off cause I felt good and it felt like a pretty good pace.. Nothing that would make me pass out like race pace. but it definitely wasn't comfortable and I wanted to be done. Especially at the end with the two big hills. But I just dug it in! :)

blah blah blah!! morning run! my legs were so sore! Ha but it was fun me and kaylee were actually pretty quiet but I've learned how to push past the little pains a lot better that use to just slow me way down.

8 miler.. Much much better than morning ran with cassidy and Stefani and had tons of fun. It was wierd cause I kept having to pull back to stay with them. at about 5 miles stef had to go potty bad so we stopped at a girls house that we knew and she went and then after that I pulled away from them and finished the last 3 on my own.. It felt way good and even though my butt was sore and my legs were sore I finished strong and did striders! LOVED IT!

ran the PV course for the Dual in the Desert. I like it! But my legs were way dead today! Better stretch them out for the race! Then we did striders. After practice we had a meeting in coaches room about how to focus and control your body with positive thinking.. It was really cool!

AM: Artic Circle! Thanks goodness we had this run in the morning cause my legs were full of crap yesterday afternoon and this helped get everything out and made them feel much better!

PM: RACE!!! Made sure I got a good warm up in! Got to the line and tried really hard to control my nerves!!! It worked pretty well cause I had a really good race and focused very well! Nerves distract me too much I've found out. But it felt good and passed people strong. I started hurting around mile 2 but pushed through it and had a really strong finish again! I love finishing hard it feels good! I'm only 9 seconds away from varsity!! I'm so excited for the next race... maybe I can close that gap more! Made sure I got a good cool down in also.. I think thats something we need to focus on alot! :)

five early in the morning with the team up at the hotel! It was so fun cause I ran all through my old neighborhood where I grew up! It was fun!

warm up and 6 miles over foremaster... The beginning two miles were ROUGH.. I wasn't feeling good at all.. But I finally loosened up and I ran with Rob and Dyllen.. Its kinda fun running with them! :) We got to the water park and I knew I shouldn't stop for too long or I wouldn't want to start so I grabbed a drink from the water fountain and saw that Sierra was leaving so I asked if I could come along and I finished the rest with her! It was fun.. My legs ached a little but I pushed through it and it felt like a good pace.. :)

AM: Artic Circle with some girls.. Nice run.. Legs felt better! READY TO RUN! :)

PM: SOOO CLOSE! I put to much pressure on myself and stressed out. I really wanted to finish 7th on the team and get on varsity.. I got closer though! Its now down to 5 seconds! I'm ready for it. But Next race I'm going to not put to much pressure on it. Just run because I love to run and push myself the hardest I can and then I know I can get what I'm reaching for!!!

AM: Three in the morning.. The girls were BOOKING IT! But it was fun.. The last part through the neighborhood is always my favorite!!!

PM: Ok so... all day I was SOO ready for a long run.. Like it actually sounded fun.. And then someone told me it was speed and I was ready to flip a buiscut! Then someone told me ohh its only AT so I was like SWEET! lets do this.. Then it turned out to be speed again!!! but it was a good workout! Like always! :) I hit ALL of them pretty good except one :( I don't know if this is the exact order of them but I think it went something like..

3:29

3:30

3:33

3:44 <-- LAME!

3:29

3:30

PM: warm up. 4 miler and striders... Ready for the race tomorrow thats for sure!!!

am: three miles with Kaylee. Just me Kaylee and Danny today.. I think Ethan and Jordan were around somewhere too..

RACE: :) :) :) I can't believe this! I felt so good. Pushed it so hard! And had an amazing time on this course! I figured out the mile 1.5 is the area I need to work on.... I start to get tired and give in a little bit.. But at the beginning of mile three I passed coach roberts and he told me I was 30th... I really felt like just sitting there but then I took that last lap hard and ended up getting 5ish more girls and got somewhere around 25.. My time is a huge PR by like a minute! I reached my goal by a long shot! Gotta keep working though. Don't congratulate yourself too much!!

??? I am going to have to check on the distance for this.. we did our warm up and drills.. then did a 2 mile warm up. Then we did 8 stadiums! NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE EVER! Crazy hard! you run up and down up and down up and down... I dont know how many times.. And then across the track.. and then up... and then around... and at the flag pole we started dead sprinting!! AHHHHH That probably made no sense to you! hahaha but it was hard and I was glad it was over... then did a DI cool down.. side cramps and dehydrated.. needs to drink more tomorrow!

AM: Good run this morning! Fun.. Legs felt better than expected but still crazy sore!! Um I love our team! Plain and simple.

PM: AT. My legs were kinda out of it.. I struggled up the hills at the end. Probably cause I was still distracted and scared from the PIT BULL that wasn't tied up that we ran past. But it was still strong and fun! LOVE it.

Ok. I feel so wierd running such low miles!!! It was a good run though!! Fun stories. Don't know what to think about the race tomorrow but I'm not going to stress about it cause I always stress TOO much and end up hurting myself mentally! READY TO RUN! :)

Ok so I saw what low miles I had this week and then I realized I accidentl didn't blog my wednesday miles so this will just be wednesdays run..

Last morning run ever! Kinda sad about this! I love morning runs! I'm almost tempted to do them again after the season.. But it will be so cold I might have to stick to afternoon runs...

8 miler with Cassidy and striders.. It was a good pace and we had a nice run.

Good race... Thinking to much about it.. Just gotta race cause I love it. Psyched myself out. I'm ready to just move on from this race and learn from it.. Right now I'm really wishing the season was a month longer! Its good though.. I've got it in me I know I do. Just a matter of believing myself on race day.

Just an easy Coral Canyon-Telegraph loop. SO good. Awesome pace, Wasn't even thinking about it I was just going. It was good to get out alone just every once and a while. (hit 1000 miles for the year today!!!)

5 mile run and 4x200's. Really good run. Solid 200's fun to chill with this awesome team!

 Its really tough for me to be content with how far I've come in running... I'm not a born runner and my body isn't any where close to being made for running.. So of course I can't be up there with the top dogs but I've come so far and I've achieved so much in running. It really amazes me to think of where I was 2 years ago. But sometimes I get frustrated cause I want to do so much more.. I wish I had one more year left of high school to get there! This season has just come and gone all to fast right when I've started to really enjoy the thrill of hard workouts and races... I guess I got track season... After that who knows where running will take me.. But I know its somewhere cause I can't give this stuff up!

ahh this is so wierd I actually am not liking taper season this year! haha don't get me wrong its nice but I feel less acomplished at the end of the day! I am excited for state though... and for WINTER TRAINING!!!

I did exactly what I wanted. I am not going worry about what happens from here, weither coach decides to put me on varsity or not, cause I did my best and most importantly I had a blast doing it! Pete before the race told me, "Just tell you mind to shut up, and RUN" I did exactly what she said. Right when the gun went off I started stressing about everything, then I just told myself to just relax and role with it.. Then I kept pushing right to where I needed to be.. I wanted to get low 22's so I got where I wanted. Can't wait for region!

2mile warm up/6,8,10,12 up and down/1.5 mile cool down.

Ohh goodness! Hardest workout ever! Just kidding but it was tough! I'm so sore from the race yesterday! Mentally I was doing alright, just kept digging when it hurt most but my legs were so cramped and tight and heavy it was CRAZY! I tried to get them to go and nothing would respond. Hopefully my legs recover for tomorrows run.

warm up/core/6 miles/5x200's/wierd drill things

Body is way warn out but the run was good.. it was fun to drive out and do something we never do! :)

Me and Kaylee went running at like 11 at night! :) we only ended up getting to go 4 though cause her parents called and wanted her home. It was fun though! :)

just a little run around the park and some six hundreds while we set up the course.

A quick run around the course while we helped out with the 3a teams race.

Dang. Not much to say about this race. Been sick all week. Kept positive before th race. Tried not to let it get to me. But everything just hit me during the race and I just couldn't get my body to do anything! I guess sometimes its just not your day :( I still got track season though I guess... And winter training will be awesome!

Still sick. I really shouldn't be running probably. Need to let my body recover cause I once agan couldn't really do much out there today. My body is just not very happy with me... Good long weekend to give it a break and get better. SWINE FLU.... just kidding but lame!

harts.... 2x400, 2x200.... harts.. Ha didn't run all weekend cause I was sick with the flu so these were tough... My body had that feeling you get when you haven't ran for a while.. It feels like your so uncordinated and you don't know how to put one foot in front of the other! We went to IHOP as a team after practice... It was fun! :)

just around the mall once we got up to salt lake.... FREEZING!

I am not so sure how far I ran today but I'm gonna put this.. I ran 3 miles in the morning with micheal... I forced him to run with me cause I wanted to go but I couldnt go alone! hahaha... then I ran the warm up with the girls up at state... so that was like another mile.. and then I'm gonna give myself a mile for all the cheering and running I did cause I was sprinting everywhere for a good hour as a girls and then our boys raced!

FINALLY GOT TO RUN AGAIN!!!!! :) it hurt but I am so glad to run again!! ahh :)

3.5 with kaylee and trevor.. kinda made me feel like a dork cause I'm running with both these amazing runners! haha but it was fun... we did the 2450 loop and that was the first run me and Kaylee ever went on together.. and it was her first run ever so it was fun to relive it and see how far we've come! :) breathing still hurt a little.

ha me and kaylee just kept adding the miles.... we did a .5 warm up... coach told everyone who came out for the first day of winter training to do 3 and told us we could do that too... But we Kinda wanted to bump it up so we went 4.. on the run I felt so sick.. ready to throw up tons of times.. Once I got some water and rested I felt good so I asked Kaylee if she wanted to do striders so we did some fun  8 striders and then we just goofed off and did 3 or 4 more sprint type strider stuff.. it was just fun! :)

not a lot today... had work and we played frisbee a little! :)

just two again..... fun running with the new kids again! :) lifted after wards! :)

something like that... with sierra and kaylee and casey and wesley and micheal.. hahaha it was fun.. :)

a little warm up and then a race.. Ok so a lot of us were all going to just run it and have fun...... but NOOO sierra had to race.. and then I ran it like an AT until the last little bit I raced it... haha it was fun! :)

just three with some new girls and that was about it.. I think?

three with new girls and some lifting..

four with some of us oldies.. We went a little faster today and we had dyllen with us and Josh Decker jumped in for a minute.. It was fun... we went down dogpound and the time flew even though it wasn't AT when we got back we did 8 striders and then dinked around some more and did 6 more! hahaha CRAZY!! then went and lifted..

5 mile to GreenSprings with Sierra. I was wayyy tired so I didn't know if I was going to be able to go all the way... But once we got up there it was soooo fun! I had a blast! I am so glad she took me on the 5 instead of a 3! hahaha

AHHH! 6x8x10x12

So coach gave us the option of doing a run or starting with one hard workout a week.. At first I really didn't want to start with workouts.. but I knew I would be bummed so I got sierra to do it with me! We both hadn't ran over the weekend so our breathing was off but it was good. She did b etter than me cause I cramped up ALL over the place! but It was good.. felt good about it!!!

3.5 down around the 2450 loop and then some striders... this week has kinda hurt. my breathing hurts and I've got side cramps up the wazoo!!

bahaha this was entertaining.... we did dog pound with the V boys! Ha it was pretty entertaining.. we stuck with them until the dog pound road... it was funny.. but i'm not so fast and I am still getting side cramps like crazyy! hahaha so me and sierra stepped down after a while and she started to get side cramps so we lost them.... but the rest of our run as fun.. nice conversation too :)

such a fun run! We ran with like a group of over 15.. with both coaches.. some varisty boys... some other boys. and like five of us girls.. it was SOO fun!! just up to greensprings 3... and when we got back we did striders... I just had some stomache cramps.. which has been the theme all week! ha

HILLS! I sucked butt too! Ha I didn't run all weekend AGAIN! so I really need to work on getting out there on saturdays! I especially wanna start going long! But it was a good run none the less. Breathing was off. Me and Sierra just ran back together.. I really love that girl just so you know!

ARGH! New shoes time! I was planning on going farther today but then my legs cramped up still and I couldn't keep up with anyone! So we only went to artic circle and back. I felt bad cause I slowed Sierra down today but I am going to get new shoes tomorrow! we lifted after! Ha thats always an adventure with sierra!

just three with sierra again after we had gone to get some new shoes! I LOVE them :)

3 with rachel. :) it was a good pace. especiallly from coming back from break.. I missed the team and sierra cause I was talking  an old teacher I ran into.

2450 run with an extension up to the running center.. than back to the school to lift. stomache cramps still

six with sierra up into green springs... she went quick up with the boys untill like mile two and I had cramps so I just kept them in sight.. then she dropped after her knee hurt and ran with me and we extended up to the running center again.

can't remember.. I'll have to ask someone! haha

:( had some seminary council stuff to do and then had work and couldn't get a run in! I was sad! I really needed a run too!

Ran with some ladies in my ward.. nice easy pace.. we went 6 and it seemed faster than I would have thought... then I did 2 on my own..

I HATE SIERRA! hahahah I don't really but I promised her I would put that on my blog!! hahahaha but these hills were sorta tough... it was cold and raining and I couldn't get my mind in to gear... Coach really helped though.. I like it when he yells at us to correct certian stuff. Helps me improve and makes the run go by better.... Still having stomache cramps up the wazoooo!! arghh

an 8 miler with a mile of striders and lifting.

I'm getting way sick and I can feel it! It didn't really affect my running but lifting I could feel the fatigue.. what got me running today was the stomache again.... I had to stop and just curl in a ball until the pain went away at one point... :( ohh well.. it still feels good to get my miles up!

six all alone.. :( I tried sticking with the boys but the run from yesterday and the fact that I had a knot the size of a fist in my calf. It really hurt when I was trying to get up and over foremaster but after that I kinda rubbed it out and it felt better... It was good to go out there and even when I wanted to go shorter i told myself that I HAD to finish... it was a good run over all.. really tight though!

I didn't run 25 miles in one day! hahha but I fell behind on my blogging so I'm just putting the miles I ran on this one day.. I've been struggling with some lasting illnesses that I'm still trying to work out so my miles have been way down. I even had to stop running for about a week cause it just wasn't possible! :(

first run back... Still a couple problems going on... but I got out and just processed everything.. made sure everything was getting better enough to start running again.. I think I'll be fine...

4... fun run with sierra we made up.. I love random runs!

fun again! we were going to go longer but saw a dog down on the trail alone so we turned around fast! side cramps still... I'll work through it hopefully.

good new loop I found out in coral canyon... me and sierra went out... I struggle with my stomache up hills but its fun..

Wahoo!! Sierra organized a fun group run for the "Last run of the Decade!" it was way fun!!! Sierra, me, Hailey, Megan, and monica showed up! The frodsham girls had plans so they cut back.. But the other three of us went 6 and it was nice and way fun!!!! We miss monica. The pace was way nice and I didn't get cramps until around the last mile. That was nice.!
