Go Westminster Griffins!

well today was suppossed to be a time trial at tiger griz course but my calves are hurting a lot and during the run they really startrd to hurt and when i was running up one of the hills one popped and my leg erupted in pain. that ended the run and now i am taking it easy. 

dad said don't run today since my calf hurts.  Taking a day or so off.

 9 mile bike ride with my family.  Calf felt ok doing this.

Resting my calf and we had to drive Katelyn to camp at Lake Alturas so a day off today.

My calf is still sore (dad says it is a level 1 strain).  I have been resting it, icing it and wearing compression socks.  I went for a 6 mile bike ride this morning then went to the gym with Mom and Dad and rode the biek for 10 miles.

Calf is sore but getting beter I hope. I went to a spinning class with Mom this morning.

Calf still sore, I hope it gets better soon (XC starts in just over a week).  I rode my bike again this morning.

day off.

XC practice was at Bill's Bike and Run.  We had a clinic then a group run.  I ran with Gray most of the time then with the guys at easy pace.

3 miles easy in the morning before out relay later today.

18 hour relay at IFHS.  The first 6 miles are timed then the rest are just recorded.  3 teams fo about 16 kids each.  Started off ok but then the weather was cold and very wet with lots of rain all night long!  Intervals were ok including miles of 5:34, 5:28, 5:48 then a few slower ones due to big winds and heavy rain then just being very tired for my last timed mile. 

7 more miles through the night for our relay.  So tired and cold.   I had no sleep as we were wet and mostly hung out wiht the guys on the XBox.   I am going to sleep all day.

6 miles with team. slow 4 miles then 2 fast ones with dad leading

4 miles with Dad around the neighborhood pretty easy.

Rest day

8 miles of trails with the team at Kelly Canyon.   Hills and muddy.

8 miles with the team including a 5 mile tempo run.  Hard after yesterday's hills.

4 easy miles with the team.  First XC meet tomorrow.

First XC race today. warmup and i walked the course. this was a big race. 19 teams, that is alot of kids. IF girls went and ended up winning the whole race. Boys went and within the first 200m i was elbowed in the stomach. it knocked the wind out of me and i had trouble getting back into my rythem. it was a very hot day, the race had no shade. i ended up coming across in 20:20, not my ideal time, and as 8th not my ideal place. so i am top of the JV now which will be good, for now. beat my main competion, i threew up three times after the race....

6 easy miles with the team. talked school, running, life etc. fun running with the varsity boys

4 miles with Dad in a rain before going to the state fair.  It was fun but really cold.
