Life's Swell

First day of practice!! Irene and I ran with some of the new girls named Ryan and Kaylee and Sasha and Destiny. It was really fun to get to know them better. We ran 20 minutes with them, at like a 9:30 pace. Then i added on to make it 30. It was a nice run. Felt good, and super excited for xc to start!! 

 .5 warm 30 minute grass run with the girls. We were going pretty fast! We got in 3.7 miles! Then we had 8 striders which adds another mileish! Felt good, but hard. So excited for the season 

warmup and a 40 minute run felt good but tough today. We started decent speed and kept going stong. In the middle i felt kinda tired, but i kept going and in the end i felt super good. We picked it up going down the hills and it felt nice! Good girls pack today!

 warm up and 30 minute run. i felt a bit tired today. We went a bit slower than yesterday, and it felt nice

warmup and a 45 minute run. At first i was kinda tired, but as we got going i started feeling really good we were hitting about a 8:30 pace most of the time. We ran to Meskerems house to see why she didn't come to running, and she ended up coming out and running back with us. Then Caroline was dying to go see my grandparents farm and their goats, so we ran across the street from meskerems house and went and saw them. It was way fun! then we ran back to the park and stretched and stuff

35 minutes easy with 3x3min fartleks (4.45 miles)

Planned a morning run today at my house. Only a few girls showed which was fine :) we made a nice loop out to staheli farm and back around nichol's peak we packed really well on the fartleks and we all pushed eachother. The last one we started out strong and i felt great! i just kept going up the hill and it was awesome! great rest of the run back, had a very fun time and a delicous panckake breakfast afterwards :)

48 minutes, .5 warm 5.7 miles at dirt mile ran each loop progressively faster. i felt a little ehh today. My legs felt good and i had energy but my belly felt kinda gross. we ran to the dirt mile and then we went our first loop at about a 7:55 and we had a nice pack going. the next one was a 7:45ish and the last we turned to leave before the mile indicator and so i just stopped it and it was a 7:00. It was a solid run and Sylivias back! yay!!

We woke up at 4 and went down to havasupi falls today. It was a very long time and eventually we just wanted to get there so me and Ellie and addi and Parker and Scottie all ran down the trail with our stuff to get our minutes in. It was fun and it actually felt really good! There were a lot of dogs running around and it smelled like horse poop a lot. We set up camp, then went to havasupi falls. The water was so pretty and blue. Then it started raining and I took a nap. 

We went on this hike out to mooney falls and beaver falls. Me and Parker and Ellie and Scottie and addi ran on the trail while everyone hiked. It was very pretty and there was this one part that was like hiking angels landing times 50 in coolness and scariness (that part we didn't run). It was so cool!! It was the prettiest place ever! Most of the hike/run was through these vines and there were tons and some were growing up the walls of the canyon. The other parts of the run were almost like going through a rainforest it was the best run I have EVER done!

We left this morning from our campground at 3:30 when it started raining :( (it rained a lot, but made it not too hot) when we were hiking out, me and my dad ran so I could get in a run. It was very hard and I currently need a nap 

35 minutes with 3x3 minute fartleks

i felt really great to be back to practice! super fun run with the team and we packed really well and all shared leading

top of zion relay:

in the middle of the night 6.5 miles up a VERY large hill. it didnt EVER go down.Me and alli ran together on our legs! it was way fun and super duper hard. We woke up at 12:45 to get ellie and jace to their start. it was fun to cheer them on. then me and alli started. i was kinda scared and it was wierd running in the middle of the night. If i didnt have someone to run with, i probaly woulda peed my pants. anyways, it was a very hard hill that never ever ended. it was long and it took a long time. Also, there was a wonderful strong headwind if the hill wasn't long enough :) finally it ended and passed to sylvia and addi. they did awesome!! i felt surprisingly good after the run, i thought i would be wayyy tight, and i wasnt!

5 miles ups and downs.we went to some creepy, very dirty gameroom of a trailer park and slept for a few hours. then we woke up, and ellie and jacey started their legs. there was 2 papers and one said they had 4 miles and the newest one we had gotten said 3, so they were expecting 3. then they lied and they actually had 4, which stunk alot. then me and alli ran. much less up hill, but still quite alot. it was much less scary and it was bright outside

7.5 miles down a very large hill. hungout for a while before we started. We praticed our dance we made up. haha!! its absolutely hilariously awful. then ellie and jacey had a 7 mile run. then me and alli had a 7.5 mile run. We were hauling!! (or at least it felt like it) it was pretty much all down hill and it was way fun! when we ended, i didnt even feel sore at all! im so happy!! i definitely need to roll and stretch to stay that way. i drank lots of water and had a wonderful time! then we passed to addi and sylvia. they also had a 7 mile run. it had a much bigger up hill then the race people said, and they totally did awesome going up it! holy cow!! sylvia is a beast at running up hills!! slept at the finish line til the other car got there, then finished together and left! had an absolute blast!!

warm up. then 48 minutes. wow. that felt like a very very very long run. it honeslty felt like and 80 minute run. i was struggling. But i will do better tomorrow. im feeling better and im gonna go to bed earlier than 10 tonight to catch up on sleep.

warmup. 15 minutes, 8 strides, 16 minutes

felt wonderfully awesome compared to yesterday. great run, roberts said we were going a 7:30 pace at one point and we were keeping up with the boys so thats cool. great run

50 minute Run to dirt mile, 4 laps progressively faster (7:55,7:45,7:40, 6:55

At first I just kinda felt eh, but as we got going I felt wonderful! Coach Roberts kept telling us to slow down and it was kinda hard. I was very antsy. The last one we just got going and didn't control it like we should have, it was a great workout. Not happy to miss practice for trek...bleh

61 minutes before we left for trek. Me Ellie and addi went for a run before trek. Felt wonderful and we found a cool loop around Nichols peak. It was very fun and I felt great

4.5 miles on trek

32 min Run after trek.

Me and Ellie and addi went for a run. I was gonna do 2 short runs, but holy guacamole!!! I am pooped!! I am so tired, so I just did one and that was almost a miracle. I shoulda just run at trek yesterday. But they advised not to so, I didn't

3 on trek

warmup, 6.5 miles to dino tracks backwards, striders

at the beginning i felt alright. then we ran up some hills and i was trying to stay on Jacey, boy she is a tough runner! anyways, then we got on the skinnier trails and i was leading for a bit. i decided to go to the back to get Addi back onto the group, we caught back up and then everyone took turns leading until we got back up to the fatter trails. we had an awesome group today! felt great. got back and did striders, they werent quite where i wanted them, but they will definetly be better next time! way excited to be able to come to practice consistently for the next while!

30 on grass

50 minutes. 4 laps progressively faster (8:00, 7:48, 7:37, 7:22) striders

Felt great! We all started as a nice big pack and on the straights we switched leaders. I felt really good on all of them. The last loop it was just me, Jacey, Ellie and addi for the first part. Me and Jacey kept running really strong throughout and I felt great! Cool down and striders were great. Striders were much better than Monday. I think I like doing the easy runs with no striders

46 easy fun run. jacey showed us a cave. it was hot as day in there. haha ;) way fun! felt great

60 min on chuckwalla. I just kinda chilled with the group. Didn't try to kill the pace or anything today. I felt great. The end felt the best, up the hill.

Way fun run with me addi Ellie Alli and Jacey. Felt great

70 minute run + striders

I felt absolutely lovely, just cruising along with half the team until the hill before the rec center hill. After that I just died. I was running with Roberts and Meskerem. After what was the longestpart of the run we had striders and I stepped on a bee. It felt lovely, just kidding, It hurt so freakin bad!!

30 minute grass run. felt alright, tired, but fine. nice recovery run
