Personal:

My mother forced me to start running as a freshman in high school.. and as much as I hate to admit it, I actually ended up liking it. Graduated from Pine View High School in 2013 and, after a yearlong hiatus, I am now running again, this time for USU, where I'm working on a composite Elementary Ed/Deaf Ed major.

Well, after staring at the January calendar on here for a good minute, wondering where the heck I was supposed to put today's run, I found the February button. Congratulate me.

Am: easy 3. I actually wore a jacket this morning.. twas chilly. Megan scared us all to death by tripping on a concrete block thing, but she's okay. Also, liz aubrey and megan kept separating from us, so we'd hide and scare them.. fun stuff. Except mostly I just stood and watched them scream.

Pm: 4x1000 repeats at 89%. We finally adjusted my time, so I have an actual goal time for these workouts.. todayit was 3:44. First one, I felt lovely and ran a 3:43. Second one I was too slow for most of it, then I picked it up on the last lap and hit a 3:41. Wasn't too happy about that one, cause I had to make up for my lagging on the first lap and a half. Third one felt really hard.. definitely the hardest one. But I hit a 3:37. The last one I felt really good for the first lap.. I felt like I was flying. Then I didn't feel so amazing the next part.. but I didn't slow down and I hit a 3:36. 

So I felt super good about this workout. First one in a while that I haven't felt sick or sore. Weights,  stretching, and rolling after. Plyos tomorrow.I

Am: one of these days, I'm gonna fall asleep while taking my heart rate and not wake up in time for practice. It took me 5 tries this morning cause I kept drifting off. Bleh. Still chilly out there.. plyos after. Felt fine.. I think I do them wrong or something.

Pm: Trail Tuesday!  The dreaded Icehouse trail. The 6 of us girls decided to switch off being the leader every half mile. Turns out the giant hill is exactly half a mile long. My calves were seriously considering shriveling up into little raisins.. gross. But the way down was fantastic! I just about face planted into stoners legs, but I caught myself.. the entire girls team made it the entire run on our feet! It went by a lot faster with the whole switching off thing.. I actually really enjoyed it.

 am: very quiet 3. Warmer today.

Pm: 8 miles with 30 minute tempo.. unfortunately, I didn't finish the tempo. My legs hurt so bad.. at the turn around I just stopped.. and tried to lean against the rail, missed it and fell.. Cameron probably thinks I'm an idiot. I'm so mad at myself for letting it get to me, but honestly, my calves hurt so bad. Roberts stopped and jogged with me the rest of the way and talked with me.. he made me feel a little better. I don't know. Definitely a frustrating day.

No morning practice today..

Old man hills. 1x800, 2x400, 4x200. The 800 and 400s were fine..  just ran with rach and coach and my calves just hurt a little. Then we started the 200s and I just was feeling like I wasn't getting any air. Which is stupid, because my breathing issues are all mental and I know it, but it feels so real. I mean, they are real, but I'm causing it. If that even makes sense. Anywho, Megan killed the last two 200s and I did okay.. my last one was better than my first 3. Took me the entire run back to the school to get my breathing back.. and then my calves started tightening up way bad.. so I took it pretty slow. The coaches told me to drink more water and gatorade and get some salt and potassium in me. So I took a water bottle to school today (I drank like 40 oz..) and bought some gatorade and chocolate milk. Plus I ate a pickle. Pretty delish.
