Washington Parkway (7.8 miles). (.5 warm up) It was a pretty slow run today. My legs were tired and burned a little. I will get some more miles in and soon it will be easier to run this far. My left hip still hurts but I agree with Coach, the weight training will help. 1:06

Weights after the run. I did at least 3x10 of all the basics. On some of the sets I did 2-5 more to get a little more in. Squats 85, Sit ups (a couple with nothing, set with 10, set with 25, then a set with 10 because 25 hurt my back), I can't remember the others. I also did some lunges. Benching I was doing a massive 85 pounds and got stuck on my last one. Officer Orr helped me out and picked it up like it was nothing (because it was nothing, for him). Then I did a .5 cool down to...cool down.

Dog pound from my house. Didn't want to run today, tired and worried about school work but I am glad that I got myself out to run. Sore from lifting but that is a good thing and my hip feels a lot better than yesterday. 46 minutes

Formaster 6-miler AT. We took it easy until the top of Sunrise and then started the AT part of the run all the way to the school. I didn't really have a good run. I felt wasted and most of the run wasn't AT pace (31 minutes for AT part). My hip felt pretty good today but still makes me worried. I do not want to get hurt again. I really need to take the time to do some good stretching (along with weights) and that would really help it. Maybe I'll buy a stick too!

Usual weights (no bench today) after school.

Today I went and ran with the club. We ran on some trails, on a golf course, and through some neighborhoods from the store. I didn't know where I was for most of the run because I have never really been out there and it was dark. We stayed together until about the golf course and then we got spread out. I had to keep up or be lost forever. It was a good run and probably faster than I have been the last few days. I am so tired but it was a fun club run today. 56 minutes

My garmin came today. It wouldn't stay on so I sent it in and they fixed it for free, ya warranty! It is all clean so I guess they just sent me a new one.

Sleep on the field tonight! Run-a-thon tomorrow.

Cross Country run-a-thon today. 6am to 6 pm, one person from the team running a mile at a time, fund raiser $.

First mile at 8am, didn't think very much.

1:22 1:32 1:35 1:32 = 6:07

2nd @ 9am. Coach Holt ran with me on this mile. There was a church track meet going on but we made it. Good run.

1:29 1:30 1:29 1:25 = 6:05

3rd @ 2:30pm. I really tried to push this mile.

1:21 1:24 1:25 1:26 = 5:46

4th @ 3:50pm. I knew that this one was going to be hard and I would have to work to keep it under 6. It was very hard.

1:23 1:24 1:28 1:28 = 5:53

Dash for cash. The last 20 minutes we run 400s. I ran a 1:11.

We ended up with 110 3/4 miles (last year was 112). It was a lot of fun and a fun day.
