Today we did a buddy run on the trail across from the zoo and above this is the place park. When I woke up I was really sore from the day before so i took a little ibuprofen for my foot and sore legs and got ready. The advanced group met at 7:15 and I went and biked a little with them because I am just starting back and didn't want to go too far because it is only my second run since starting. When they got back my dad assigned us to our groups and we started. We started going up the first hill and  I was able to tell I am still getting back in shape. My group stayed up with me for the first little bit but I knew the new freshmen had Ben to tell them which way to go so I picked it up a little. I really wanted to have a good run. A couple minutes later I caught up to the slower group of girls that started before us. I passed them and kept pushing up the hill. I then saw the faster group of girls and picked it up a little more so I could pass them. I was then on my own for the rest of the way to the turn around. When I got to a little dip in the mountain I turned around to see if my group was on the other side yet and they were. I yelled across to see how far we were going and saw that Caden was leading them. I pushed to the construction fence and then stopped to wait for my group. Caden was right behind me and the rest of my group was a little bit farther back. When my group got to the fence we waited for the second group of guys to get there and then we started. We all stuck together for a while but when I saw some of the girls that turned around at the first fence I picked it up. They were walking a little bit just waiting for everyone to catch up and I thought I could maybe catch them so I went a little faster. Then I saw the slower group of girls on a lower trail and I knew I could catch them because they were walking. I caught them and thought I maybe had a chance to catch the faster group. I started going really fast down the hills thinking I could catch them but I caught my foot under a root and stumbled a little. I picked it back up and caught the rest of the slower group. I wasnt able to quite catch the other group but when I got back they were adding in the park to get to 3 miles so I jogged over and waited because I knew we were doing a little core work. I started my push ups and crunches because I knew I wouldn't do them at home later and I finished two sets when everyone got back. My dad started talking to the team and then we did 3 sets of one minute step ups. When we finished those I did my last set of crunches and push ups and then went to the car and waited for my dad. When we got home i was exhausted so I took a little nap. When I woke up I decided to do a couple more sets of push ups and crunches

Did a warm up lap at liberty that felt pretty good. We stopped to stretch then we did fireman for a lap. When we finished fireman we did a lap cool down then ran to the metal box and back to make it an even 5

woke up at 5 packed to go to florida got on the plane. took all day getting to florida and wasnt motivated to go running at midnight when we finally got back to the hotel

Woke up at 9 then went for a run at the resorts golf course. It was really hot and humid and I started getting dizzy and light headed after 2 so I stopped and walked back to our room. Then I layed around and slept all day because I had a migraine

Am-Ran in the resort it was cooler than yesterday because it was shady but it was still hot so I struggled a little bit

Pm- Ran on the golf course path in the resort to a road then turned around when we turned around I thought I would push and try to make my dad keep up. He fell really far behind

did a lap warmup at liberty then a lap of fireman and a lap of cooldown

did 2.65 warmup and i felt really good. did the race and started out good. if i would have started faster i would have died really quickly. when we got to the turn at the top of the hill my dad caught me which got me going a little bit. i tried to work up to natalie but once i was to the front of our group it was hard because i didnt get a boost from passing other people. when we got to the turn around u loop thingy my dad caught me. i was struggling going out but when we were coming back i was able to pick it back up and get passed my dad for a little bit. at the two mile there was a water station so i grabbed one drank a little then splashed. the last mile was tough because it is mostly uphill. going up the first little hill after the water station i felt pretty good and like i could maybe catch back up to my dad but when i got to the top i could feel how tired i really was. when we finally got to the last hill i knew  i was almost done. i pushed up the hill and when i got to the top i started to kick a little harder cause i wanted to catch maryann. i never did but i felt like i did good because i didnt quit on myself. after i jogged the course backwards but cut out a little and then did a mile out with the team and came back with jesse and abigail. 4 miles cooldown.

went out on the jcc trail 3.75 then came back to the big hill did ten of those and came back down

did the hike today and my dad said i can count just going up as 2 miles so i figured about 1 mile going down. later that night i ran 5 miles to iceberg with my dad and my little brother biked with us. i felt really really good and i was able to push hard. my legs killed afterward while i ate my burger onion rings and chocolate banana malt.
