Running Blog

So.. basically someone REALLY needs to update the PV blog.. I guessed 7 for the workout today. We did these lovely little hill things at the middle school that were quite enjoyable.. but first I broke a tree and fell off the curb and we found squishies! We named them Peter and Henrietta Jr. Then we found millions of them on the way back.. that we threw on the JV girls. So we fell kinda far behind because we spent a lot of time picking up squishies. Then we did 3 200's and 3 100's.. which was okay. Then a cool-down, during which we saw shaven/Asian logs and our buddy Sigfried! So.. a lovely run.

But wait.. there's more!! I ran 2 with my sister after because my mom was waiting for her blood to clot, so she couldn't do it. So.. yeah.

Easy 4 out at Panorama.. brought back so many memories. We observed the rope that I was the first person in the entire school to climb and the shed I had to sit behind at recess because my friends hated me. I also related my psycho story of haunted deodorant to Kaylee and Roberts. Twas a lovely run. Oh, and striders after.

I gave up trying to calculate mileage in my head. So forgive me if I'm wrong. Today we did a randomish workout. We did 600, 100, 100, 100. Three sets. The pace felt really good.. I couldn't help remembering the last time I did 600's.. twas forever and a day ago. I think it was sometime before state sophomore year. I don't remember the full workout. But what I remember was staying up with Kaylee for the first time during a workout. And it was the coolest thing to me. And now, Stoner, Kaylee and I are all together.. and it's so fun! (: Anyway.. today was just fabulous. I actually really really enjoyed the workout. And despite almost getting smushed by a dump truck, it twas a wonderful day! (:

Easy 4 to Starbucks in the morning.

AM: 3 in Flagstaff.. it felt really long and no fun. It was kinda hard to breathe too.. that may have been because of the cold.

PM: 3 on the course.

Basically.. I have no idea what's wrong with me. For some reason.. I've never been able to run well after region, any of my three years, in either track or xc. But today.. today was thee worst race I've run since.. who knows. And I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm disappointed.. but I don't feel like I could have done much better than I did. After the race, I was really sad. And, of course, every time I started to be almost okay, someone would come over and hug me and I'd start crying. I probably would have been grumpy about it all day, except that someone put nasty poisoned Starburst in my bag and it was probably the greatest thing that happened to me the whole trip. But it wasn't like American Fork, where I was scared to push myself. I felt like I was pushing today, I really did. My legs ached really bad.. and the start was so fast I felt exhausted before we even got halfway through the first mile. But I felt like I was pushing. I just don't know why I can't run. People were passing me the entire race.. and I just couldn't stay up with them. I do feel really bad about letting the team down in the last race we'll ever run together.. that was the part that sucked the most.
