Running Blog

Well.. we ran with Breanne, but she was only going 3 so Roberts and Stoner decided to take the part between Arctic Circle and Starbucks at a 3 minute mile pace to see if we could catch up with her. They didn't, but the rest of us didn't see them for the rest of the run. Then we got to the locker rooms.. yeah. Canyon View's football team was in there on Friday.. it was DISGUSTING. Turf, grass, and tape everywhere. The toilet seats were left up and they left underwear (that's right, UNDERWEAR) in the shower. We were extremely grossed out. Oh yeah, and region's tomorrow.. kinda excited, kinda terrified.. we'll see how it goes. My legs have been feeling better lately, so it's looking positive. I just want us to do well.

We didn't get a great warm-up in.. but that's the way I like it. I know it's bad.. but warm-ups psych me out and I get all freaked. But Mia and Stoner love warm ups and I get snippy with them sometimes about it. (: Anyway.. well. We raced. We won. And that's pretty much all I have to say... okay just kidding. I actually have A LOT to say. As usual. So.. I was all wigged out at the starting line.. and it turns out Coach fails as a gun shooter person. I was no where near ready. So I got a kinda bad start.. but it worked out and I got up there.. then some dumb Snow Canyon girl cut me off majorly and I in turn cut Stoner off and we got a bit of a pile up in there. THEN some moron was spraying us with a hose and I couldn't breathe and I got all clammy. And then I got cut off again and tripped. And finally things thinned out and I was doing fine.. I made a move to pass Darian and whats-her-bucket Bryson.. and I never saw Darian again.. but the Cedar girl came back and passed me. And the only only ONLY thing that kept me from giving up was Stoner breathing down my back. I was SO afraid she was going to pass me. And some girl ran into me from behind.. however that works. And I tripped again. But anyway.. the last lap, I seriously thought Stoner had me. So I started pushing.. but I wasn't even thinking about the Cedar girl. I just wanted to stay ahead of Rachel. By the time Coach yelled at me to get her, I thought she was too far away. Then I got mad at myself, and tried to get her, but by then she really was too far away. And I was mad about that because I took third again.. I am sick of white medals! That's all I ever get. My only consolation is when I kicked Kaylee's butt in the 800 last year and finally got a blue medal. (: Anyway.. the meet was good. We won. And that is the end of my tale.

I was debating whether or not to show up today.. I've been feeling pretty yucky and I couldn't sleep last night because I kept coughing and waking myself up. But my mom said we were going to be doing a lot of cleaning today, so I made my mind up pretty quick. We ran the shoe run all together, and it was way fun. There were several instances where I came super close to dying, but Rachel Heinrich was there to protect us. (: But for reals.. we need to be more careful crossing roads.. and watch out for sticks in the desert. They'll try to take you down.

Well.. someone fails at updating the PVHS blog.. so who knows how far I actually ran. (I'm sorry, but I had to find something to complain about. It would have ruined my reputation if I just filled this entry with happy positiveness.) Anyway.. I was NOT excited for the workout today. But it was actually pretty fun! Catching the JV people gave me something to think about other than the running. And the distances were short and quick.. so it wasn't that bad! And the weather was amazing.. and we ate chocolate chip pancakes afterward.. and it's Friday.. so it's just kinda been a great day. (:

Easy 4 out in the fields.. twas nice. We saw Rachel's uncle.. and did two strider thingys. It felt good.
