Running Blog

I never know the mileage for speed workouts.. so I kinda just make it up. Today was okay. For the first two I ran with Rachel. The next 2 right behind Kaylee. The next one kinda in the middle of the two. And the last one was stinkish and I didn't go as fast as I wanted to. My breathing goes all funky sometimes and I can't control it. Especially when I run through sprinklers. When I do that, I feel like I can't breathe at all and I start to wheeze and it throws off my whole rhythm. Wow.. rhythm is a weird word! It has like no vowels.. except y but y is just a wannabe. I have this whole theory about the alphabet and unnecessary letters. Like "C".. It makes the s sound and the k sound. If we already have s and k, why do we need c? Think about it. Also, x and q are entirely unnecessary. Anyway, now that I've wasted your time with that, I'll get back to the point. Overall, the workout felt okay today. And.. that's it.

Kaylee wasn't here today because she thinks she's like, super cool or something and needs to be on royalty. So I felt it my duty to fill her spot and push the pace. And Rachel and.. the other Rachel kept telling me to slow down. For some reason, today I was just really happy. The run felt really good. So.. yep.

So I finally figured out that you can find mileage on the PVHS blog.. ya learn something new every day!! Today was a speed workout with 800s and 400s and 200s.. blah. It was actually okay though. The 8s and 4s weren't that bad. The 2s got quite tedious though. Like, really boring. I still kicked butt on the last one though. (: But I wish we didn't get speed workouts on Wednesdays. Because then we barely have any time to get ready and we miss waffles. So.. I'm thinking we just eliminate Wednesday speed workouts altogether. Think about it. (: Also Coach, consider moving my seat in class. Because it is the most awkwardly placed seat in the entire room. Just sayin'.

Arctic Circle today.. It's nice to have 3 milers once in a while.. since the deal was 1, maybe 2, speed workouts a week and this week we're doing 3, with a 5 miler thrown in there.

I'm just kidding.. I just enjoy annoying Coach with my complaining. (:

AM: Arctic circle run

PM: Cruiser thingys at Bloomington Hills park.. 1.5 warmup, 1x1mile, 2x1200, striders and 1.5 mile cool down. Twas not fun. This course is definitely not one of my favorites. But when we were done it felt like it hadn't been that bad.. but that's pretty much how it always goes.

Bonus mileage: Run-a-thon! It was fun.. but everyone was being lazy and didn't show up when it was their time to run. So Matt and I had to pick up some of the slack. It was FREEZING though.. so running wasn't that bad because it warmed me up. By morning, I was falling asleep standing up.. so I sat down and fell asleep there. Overall, it was fun.. but it probably could have been better.
