So much depends... on the run you do today!

am: 12. woke up at 7 and ran with salem hills XC team.  there nice people. there #1 and #2 kids were gone so i ran with there #3. they dont run as a team like us. me and mincen (sophmore) ran 6 out to this pole by the mountian. they also had to throw in about 6 100meter fartlicks that i did with them. they were fun. after we finished it i turned around and did the same run again by myself. my watch was pretty dead so i only turned it on for the 3 mile tempo on the way back but it died at mile 2. i'm not sure if this was a full 12 but it was prolly pretty close. i know i did the full 3 mile tempo though. 

mile1 tempo was 5:56. i felt very heavy on my feet the whole time. mile 2 5:46, still feeling tired but it was downhill so i felt good. got back and still needed 3/4 a mile so did 3 laps i think my 3rd mile was around 5:30. it was fun running with their team. and i'll do it tomorrow. glad to get the 12 done though :) streching and drills after

pm: 3.. very very hard. i thought i would take this run easy and pretty much.. there was no way to make it easy. i'm up in salem where there is hills everywhere at 6000ft. i went out a mile and a half and climbed 100 ft in .5 mile. it was 25% grade! on the way down hilll i had to zig zag to keep from sprinting! i was going around 14 min pace uphill but i was at least in jogging motion :) 

am: 5.5 + striders switched todays workout with thursday's since i prolly wont have a team to run with then. for some reason salem doesn't have an organized practice tuesday, thursday, and no running saturday :/ but the captains still came so i ran 3 with Levi Stone. their student coucil president. we got along pretty good and turns out we both like the same stuff. flipped for more after we got back and ran with some of their freshman. they have a lot of fast freshman! their going to be good in a couple years. 

striders after with them. they really sprint as hard as they can on every one but they hit there hills so hard it looks painful. dont know if i'm going to do my afternoon practice today. my body is pretty kind of worn down and i think i need one afternoon off.

am: 7, well i moved houses to another cousins that lives in riverton. their XC team is at camp so i ran on my own. pretty tough to find a decent hill but finally found one that was the best i would find. it wasn't near as bad as firestation but best i could find. 5x1min and 7x30. first 3 one mins were the same then i got about 5ft further the 4th and 5th. 30 seconds were super good. everyone i went faster and faster. i felt i did my best on this workout and glad to get it done. 

am: 4 with striders. jake krong invited me to run with him and some people this morning and i looked for every possible way to get there... and found none. i was really bummed. so instead i ran on my own.

pm: 3 finally got a double in. figured i could do a double saturday too so i would only miss one.

am: 3 slept in till 11 and had to go somewhere at 12 so i decided to do my easy 3 this morning then do my hill workout this afternoon. sounds like a good plan right? well when we got home at 8 i was sick as can be. it was terrible. this always happens right before the seasons start...but its my own fault for not getting enough sleep.

went to make up my hills this morning. still felt pretty sluggish and thats how i ran. did my first 3 30 sec's and pretty much sucked on those. 5ft behind where i was wednesday. started the 1 min's and only did 4 before i pretty much passed out. i felt really dizzy and could see straight and after i hit a rock and twisted my ankle i figured i should just go back before i hurt myself. so i staggered back and walked the last quarter mile....

end of week- well i ran everyday and i'm on vacation so thats a first. if i wasnt for my sickness i think i would have done almost every run. but i got my main ones and the first two were done well. goals for next week is to get a solid race at cedar and not missing any runs.
