First day back from break.. we all felt fat and out of shape, but Coach didn't care. We had Sunrise hills.. 4 of them. Joy.

The first one felt the hardest.. when we got to the really steep part at the top, my legs fell off and rolled all the way back down the hill. Let me tell ya, getting them back was a challenge. But after I recovered from that little incident, the other three didn't feel too terrible. On the last one, I really felt like I pushed up that last little bit.. no times or anything though. I felt like I might puke every time we got to the top, but I never did, so that was good news. The way back to the school felt FOREVER long, and my ribcage felt all tight and weird, and made it kinda hard to breathe. But after a little bit it stopped.

AM: Arctic Circle.. Super sore from yesterday!

PM: Long hill run to Green Springs at a semi-quick pace. Tried to stick all the level 2's and 3's together.. It didn't work so well. Good pace.. We played with some yummy smelling bushes and such. My legs hurt so bad after.. Just super sore and stuff.. So I stretched. And, uh, holy goodness! I was just adding up mileages to see where the girls are at.. Too bad I do soccer and am a hundred miles behind everyone. Pathetic. But Liz and Mia are legit, so that's cool.

Easy 4 to single double church. Megan Finch ran with us.. That was fun. Except I didn't really talk to anyone but Roberts, cause I'm awkward, I guess. Oh, and I ran this morning. Cold.

Missed morning practice this morning.. I had an awkward breakfast with my parents and some overachieving high school seniors, where I was reminded that I am extremely inadequate and unprepared for the college world.. A 3.9 GPA and 3 AP classes just isn't good enough anymore, I guess.. I did get a nice pencil there though, so it wasn't a total waste.

PM: Little workout that was something like Michigans, except for, ya know, this was fun. Pretty much, we ran hard for 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 3 min, 2 min, 1 min, respectively. We were supposed to sprint for the last few seconds of each one, except we couldn't really hear Coach whistling, so we missed two of them. Otherwise, it was pretty fun. Mia and I convinced Stoner (through rather impressive telepathy, might I add. I'm getting pretty good at mental communication, if I do say so myself.) that we still had 3 one-minuters at the end when we actually just had one.. But we won't bring that up, cause she wasn't very happy with us when she found out. Anywho, good workout. Harts warm/cool.
