repeats today! first time not doing a workout with stoner and mia.. weird. anyhow, 2x1000 at 85%. i felt sick today and was jut hoping for an easyish workout so i could still do well. my goal time was a 4:06 but it was super easy and i ended up at 3:52 and 4:00. still felt sick, but i liked the workout. harts warm/cool. weights after. super fun.

trail run today! honestly, practice has become the best part of my day. i love getting out there and running with the girls, even if its a workout or whatever. anywho, ran up mustang pass. it was a little tough on the way out and we lost some girls but on the way back liz, taylor, aubrey, and meskerem stayed right with stoner and mia and i. party! then my mom took me to buy some new running shoes! i got some new kinvaras and and a pair of the brooks launch. hooray for not having to run in nasty ripped shoes anymore!

tempo run today. 12 minutes of tempo.. for me and stoner it was about 6:35 pace. the tempo part felt fine.. fairly easy, but afterward on that road upnto the school, it was a fight between my legs and my brain.. my legs were so so tired but my brain just wanted to finish it. i stretched really well afterward, but my left leg kept cramping up and i just wanted to die while i was driving home. its okay now though.. thats good.

the workout got changed today because of the wind, so we went dog pound with striders after. it was good.. my leg started doing that hurting/cramping thing again so i didnt do the leg stuff when we did weights. just bench presses. im not sure if doing weights would have hurt it; it's not like an injured pain.. it just feels like my leg has a really bad stomach ache. whatevs. i'll go buy some gatorade tonight.

Kosmin test today. I got to do the 800 one.. yes. (: I made it 690 meters.. I dont think thats very good. Oh well. I'll improve, I imagine. It was quite chilly out there today. Reminded me of last saturday. Speaking of, it looks like im going to be running by myself in the cold again tomorrow. I have to work (for real this time) so I have to go at like 7 in the morning. Boo. 

Mia came to run with me today!!! Yeah! It was only 19 degrees outside though. Much too cold for me. I ran in much warmer clothes this week.. TWO pairs of gloves (best decision of my life), soccer pants, a long sleeve shirt and a running jacket thing on top, and a headband. I felt ten times better than last week. We only went seven though.. we were both afraid we'd be late for our respective engagements.  Also,  neither of us had a gps watch,  so we had to guess our tempo pace.  I did have a dysfunctional stopwatch though,  so we did our tempo for the right amount of time at least. It felt really good and I was so glad Mia came.
