Go Westminster Griffins!

We had the morning hang out.  I went to the mall with the guys then we drove aroung trying to find a place to run.  Ran a trail run up a big hill. 4.5 miles.

Long drive home.

Rest day as I am tired and feeling like I have a cold.

6 miles on the sand dunes in horrible weather (cold, wet, windy).  Freezing cold and not feeeling good. 

No run because I stayed home sick today.

4 miles at a bread run.

We ran the Bob Conley invitational in Pocatello, a state course preview.  I started off strong in second place, but at 1.25 miles my head cold and congestion slowed me down as I had a hard time breathing.  Still ran a 27 second PR, but not where I wanted.  I will run this faster at Districts.  Overall we showed up as a team and got 4th place and only 4A team to beat us was Skyline.

Dad and I drove to Boise then went for a run on the greenbelt for 4.25 miles. Visiting BSU tomorrow.  Had a great dinner with Erik in the Basque district downtown.

We toured BSU all day then went for a workout before dinner on the greenbelt.  6x0.41M with recovery.  Splits: 2:00, 2:00, 1;59, 2:00, 1:57, 1:56.  Tired legs now.

5 miles at practice.

4 miles at practice easy.

City Meet today.  IF boys finished second.  I was 12th overall and 4th on the team.  Hard tempo run to get ready for Districts next week.  Freeman Park is still hard.

8 miles at practice.

6 miles at pratice.  3x400m and  4x200m.  Cold, wet and windy.

3 miles with Dad after church and homework.  Focused on form (turnover, power) and goals for the race on Thursday.  

6 miles at practice, raining.

6 miles at pratice.

5 miles at pratice.

Started strong, calf cramped but still finished ok (need more kick, better fueling) with a new PR.  4th on team,16th overall.  We qualified for state!

6 mile recovery run at practice.

2 mile warmup with Dad then started our workout.  My calf and achilles are sore from the last few races.  Got through 1 mile in 5:22 pace but had to stop as my leg was not doing good.  Came home and stretched, rolled and massaged it.  Need to get it feeling better rather than stressing at a workout.

6 miles at practice. My achilles is still a bit sore.

6 miles at practice for recovery.  Stomach started feeling really bad later in the evening.

3 miles in the afternoon solo, with a 10 minute tempo.  Stayed home as I was really sick this morning but got out later for this run.

5 easy with the team.

4 miles at practice. Team dinner tonight, State XC championships in Pocatello tomorrow!

Very nice weather, but the course was sloppy, soggy, slippery and spongy.  Ran strong but calf popped again in second mile.  Ran hard and finished hard.  Overall we finished 5th so we are a bit bummed, but 7 places better than last year as a team.
