Life's Swell

am: 30 minute easy run to arctic circle. 

pm: 1600 at snow canyon. It was not very good. 

800 at snow canyon. Alright race, definitely not my best, but better than yesterday. 2:35ish was my time  not exactly sure. My parents wanted to leave before the results were posted 

AM- 20 minute. we went faster this morning. I felt great, I have kinda just went chill the last couple mornings and it felt good to go faster again

PM- Cosmin today. I felt decent today. 15 minute warm to harts. Then the 1600 Cosmin. I got farther than last time, not as far as I'd hoped, but I'm happy with it. 1331 meters. Then after, we had a  300, 200, 100. I felt way good on these and I felt like I was going strong, so that's good. Then cool to time

AM: 20 minutes easy arctic circle. Felt good

PM: 40 minutes easy with 4x60 second fartleks at the canyon view meet with Alli, Jacey, and Meskerem. Meskerem flipped out every time we saw a dog and it was hilarious. I felt really good and pushed hard on the fartleks.

AM- 20 minutes with the boys

PM- 30 minutes easy with striders 

The youngsters track meet was very thrilling 

AM- 20 minutes easy to arctic circle 

PM- 45 minutes with 4x30 second fartleks. We did fire station backwards. It was a fantastic run. I felt so good today. Alli and I cruised ahead of everyone and it was way hard/fun/hot. But it was a great run

Herriman Invite today. I ran the 1600 and the 800. In the 1600 I started good and held on. I pushed hard and it was 5262 times better than last week. It wasn't a pr, but it was decent. I got 5:39. In the 800 i did a lot better than I expected. Coach holt to me to pick one thing I wanted to work on this race and I wanted to work on my kick. I kicked!!!! I am so happy. I ALWAYS don't kick very well and I did so that's good. I got 2:35, not a pr, but still good :) And I'm happy with my races 

40 minutes easy by our hotel. I felt not so good the first 10 minutes, then after that I warmed up and felt really good! We ran on some trail by a dog park. It was a cool trail. 

AM: 2.3 miles easy for the morning. AC

PM: mile warmup to pizza hut. Then a 1000 at 1600 goal pace. Jacey and I were trying to hit a 3:20 and we hit a 3:21, which is pretty solid. I stayed with her and she didn't out-kick me, which is way good. I need to get in my head that I can kick and push hard in races because I can. After that, we had a 300, 200, 100 with full recovery. I hit 54, 34, and 14 on those. I felt great today on the workout. I cooled down part way with Ellie and Caroline then they stopped and I went one more 1000 cool down lap.

Also, at region I'm doing the 1600 and 3200. Way pumped!!

AM- 20 minutes easy to AC

PM- 25 minutes easy to hot nails + 4x200's master blaster style. Then the youngster track meet. It was very long

Couple mile warmup before the 1600. Then the 1600. The front group started out pretty slow. I felt really good and I led the first couple laps with a cedar girl. The third lap, I was still feeling pretty good, and I was try to push, but a few people passed me. Through the rest of the race I was still in the front pack, but closer to the back. I should have just kept my position closer to the front because I was going at the same pace as the person in front, but it still added some time to my time. Oh well, over all it was a decent race. I ran a 5:34

Warmed up a bit more than a mile before the 3200. Then the weather sucked and we had a 30 minute lightning delay. When we went out side, we had 5 minutes to rewarm up before our race. Then the 3200. I didn't do very good. It was my worst 3200 of the year. I started way fast and I didn't do very well fighting the mental battle of the race either. After the race I cooked down with El. 

Then later I rewarmed up of the 800. I was one spot out of being in the fast heat, and honestly I didn't mind much. Me and Caroline were one and two going into the race and I was way excited. I started really well and I was NOT going to get last. The first 200 was a good start. I kept it pretty solid until the 300 and then I decided to serge on the straight. Then I felt great and I just kept going I pushed all the way and even kicked. I felt so good. I ended up 1st in the heat and one second off my Pr and that was right after the 3200. It was definitely a great confidence booster that I can run fast and it feels awesome to run. 

We had 45 minutes easy with 4x30 second fartleks. We did neon spider and it was soooo fun. It was definitely the funnest run in a long time. We went to the tunnel and Jacey and Meskerem scrame a lot. Especially Jacey. It was way funny and pitch black. When we went in there was a giant patch of tumble weeds in the way, So we had to walk on this teensy ledge thing for a little and I kept falling off. Then the tunnel turned and there was a big puddle of water we had to cross and it was very muddy and slimy. Then we climbed out and did the last two fartleks with very wet shoes. It felt weird. Then we did DI to ad more time 

Mile warm to pizza. Then 4x400 at 3200 goal pace. Way fun workout. I felt great, like I coulda done like 10 more. 1.5 mile cool to hearts. Feel so good about state

1.5 mile warm to hearts. Then 2 sets of 3 master blasters. Another fun/good workout. Me, Jason, and Kawika were all on a team  we were 2nd. The sprinters only did one set, so we switched up teams. Me, Skylar, and Rylee were a team. It was a way fun workout. I did a bit of cool with the girls, but they stopped and I did some more. About 1.5 miles 

Neon spider + 300, 200, 100

Drove up to Provo and ran on Provo HS track until it started lightninging. I felt way good, we just ran the track a couple miles and did some strides 

First day of state. I didn't race anything today but we got there way early and I got in some track minutes. I ran a few miles, probably 3. It was about 25 minutes. Not sure how far I went exactly. It was very rainy 

Warmed about a mile and a half for the 3200. It was kinda chilly and I was nervous. We kept jogging and striding out to stay warm before the race. Then we started. I was kinda nervous and my mind kept bringing back my not so good race at region. I finally pushed it from my mind and started to just run. Caroline and Meskerem started way strong and I was afraid to start out that strong so I held back. Me and Jacey were going together for the first 4ish laps. I passed Caroline about lap 4 or 5. I felt good and I was in a decent spot. The next 2 laps are what kinda hurt me a little. Jacey went strong and I slowed down a little. Meskerem was falling back and I caught her, but I wasn't being mentally tough. Caroline and Ellie caught me on the 7th lap and I was trying to go with them, but they were starting to gap me. Then I told myself to don't t be a baby and just go for it. So I started to serge and I caught back up to them starting the last lap. I was just gonna stay with them, but I decided to start pushing and I went strong from the 300 and then at the 200 I just went. It was a good kick and I was very happy I went. It wasn't a pr, but a good race my time was 11:58. I was 11 overall right after Jacey and Laynee.  State was very fun. Then I went on a cool down  probably about a mile.

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.

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

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

Dirt mile progression run. 4 loops (7:42, 7:45, 7:31, 6:59)

At the beginning on the way to the dirt mile I just felt blah. I was tired, but I changed my attitude and I snapped into a good mindset. The first loop was very fast at the beginning. Then we settled into a normal pace. Each was a little faster, after the second7.8 and it felt wonderful. For a bit I stayed in the back to help box in girls so they didnt fall off. On the last lap we picked up a lot. It ended up being a 6:59. I felt great today. It was hard, but great!

55    dirt mile. 4 and a half loops    Felt really good from the get-go. It was fun running with some of the boys today. Roberts ran with us for the first two laps, then the next two he had us do them on our own To help us get the feel for pacing. We had a really solid group for the first four. Then the last half one that I did with with Robert's felt good but the pace slowed a little and we cut across. Super good run

We slowly worked up, and soon we were right on the first girl. It was so weird and cool that we have such a good pack, like I knew we had a good lot of girls to pack with on the team, but not that good. It was so cool to race altogether, and in such a tightknit group. We stay together as a pack for quite a while. Then Meskerem started to take off, and Jacey and I was behind them.

Didn't run 

75    9 miles total. Met with the girls at Sullivan and made a loop then striders     Oh my heck, that was honestly the best run of my life! I felt so good the whole time. My leg didn't even hurt one bit and we had a great pack!!
        
    Stretch roll     

51    Time trial. 12:35 3rd overall. then workout 800, 400, 400    I felt really good! My legs felt really good and strong. I tried to stay on Meskerem and Rylee for as long as I could. I fell off going into the second lap. We didn't pack as well as last time. Good time trial, it was 10 seconds slower than last time, but I felt really solid

PM    30    25 minutes easy with 4x200's     Way fun run. I felt really solid. And 200's were good 

Am- 3 easy before we left

Pm- Got to the course and ran it, I was way nervous before we started, but I felt confident once we got to the starting line. They  said "set" and then they stopped like 3 times. It was kinda annoying. Once we started we got out way fast and I was kinda nervous cuz it was faster than normal but I knew I had to stay on the group or I would never ever catch back up. I pushed up to the front of our pack so I would stay on and I felt way good once I got there. We stayed as a pack for a while and I kept yelling Stuff cuz it made me feel better and stronger. The pack fell apart in the middle/end and me and Caroline kept switching leads and it really helped me. After the hill I didn't push like I should have. A lot of people passed me at the end, including rylee at the last turn. I was 3rd on the team and my time was 20:00. Overall a solid race for the whole team. Our team was 3rd behind Davis and AF. 

Cool to time then like 10 extra minutes with Mitch and Logan to find art things for ceramics 

 Went to the state course for a workout, it was way fun to get to know the new course. I really liked it, it's different but good. We ran the course forward. Then at the end, we turned around and did the work out backwards. We had 1,2,3 min fartleks with 2 minutes recover between each and 2 sets. My legs are tired, but I stayed on the group for the most part for all except for one I really fell off a lot. I kept coughing a lot today which was no Bueno. But oh well. Overall a Great workout and I'm soooooo excited for state!!! 

Am- easy ac. Felt real good.

Pm- Scary start of our run. Roberts passed out into a bush and it was scary. The boys were calling 911 and then he got up. and I hope he is ok. Then we ran to downtown Washington and turned to go to firestation. We started our pickup and all of a sudden a 10% rain and 90% dust storm came and it really hurt. Then it stopped like 2 minutes later and we had a great rest of the run. We went 8.26 miles and then striders so 9.26 total. It was an eventful run 

Am- 30 min easy 

Pm- 60 minutes easy. We had 3(1000, 600 w/ 2 min recovery) 5 min recover between sets. It was a way solid workout. I felt super awesome. Best workout in a while. My legs weren't even super tired from the long run like normal AND I stayed with the front group the whole time. We had a real good pack the whole time and it was a great run. I learned that I also dont know how to add, so I probably should get on that. 

Am- 30 easy green springs. It was a weird change and a wierd morning 

Pm- 30 easy on the grass. Way awesome. We had a football and the freshman took it. Josh is the real MVP and brought it back to us

PM- 56 minutes, 5.9 miles. We had sand hills today at the one and only sand hill. It was a good workout. My legs were tired but I tried really hard to stay on the group and I did! I made it to the top where Roberts was all the times but once. It was a hard and a good workout. Then weights.

Drove on the bus to canyon view and convinced coach to let us watch the varsity girls race. They did so good and won.  Then Meskerem, Alli, Me, Caroline, Ellie, Jacey, and Rylee ran to the region course and did a workout. We did 2(1,2,3 min fartleks w/ 2 min recovery.) it was really good and we had nice packing. We also practiced situations. There were lots of soccer people at the course. Then we ran back and it was a fun run

Shoutout to Connor Baller because we met him today. Shoutout to jacey for getting Adam Jensens number. 

We warmed up and I was nervous to race, I haven't been really nervous this year yet until this race. We went over to start, and I felt really good. We started and we got out really strong, I hung in with the group until going up the hill the first time. Meskerem took off and I tried to stay on Jacey and Caroline. I didn't push the 2nd mile like I should have. I just sat, which was very dumb. About going into the 3rd mile I tried to refocus and get back into it. I was a little behind Jacey and I could see her and I gained a little but didn't go enough. I ended 5th on the team and my time was 20:01. Not the best race, but good. Definitely room to improve. We ended 5th overall Great Oak, AF, Davis and Bozeman were the teams in front of us.  

Am- 30 easy

Pm- mile repeats. We did 3x1600. We did 10 seconds faster than goal race pace, 15 seconds slower, and 5 second s faster than goal. It was overall a great workout! I stayed well in the pack and I didn't fall off! We hit the times real solid and it was fun. The cool down was very slow

Once we started, I got out good, but I should have relaxed just a little bit in the beginning and passed more in the end. I felt solid and as we started going around the field at the finish coach yelled at me to go push rylee so I caught up to her and pushed her and she came with me in the end. She ended up passing me again at the end but it was a good finish and I wasn't very far off of her. Solid race from everyone.

Am- 3.3 easy. Good run, felt great. Just chilled 

Pm- warmed up 10 minutes. Just chilled and didn't go as fast with the other girls. I felt good and was in a good mental state. Once the race started I didn't try to push the pace in the beginning. Just chilled for a minute until we got to probably the half mile mark. Then jacey came up to me and said "let's go" and I went with her up to Caroline and Meskerem.  I decided then that I wanted to stay on them and keep going. I stuck in probably 3 steps behind them and surged up to Caroline. We battled it out for a little and then I decided I was gonna go get Meskerem. I never got exactly on her, butt stayed it a good mind set and I didn't give in to my brain. I felt so good and I pushed hard in the end. My mile splits were 5:59 and 5:52. My time was 11:52, which is faster than what I ran at state track in the 3200 last year, so that's good. I had a good race and have some good positive vibes and I'm so excited for Nike. EVERY RUN COUNTS 

No morning run, Great after noon run and I felt good  

Pm- 10 minute tempo with 3x800's. I felt very strong today. Our 8's were 2:57,3:04,2:43. It was supposed to get progressively faster, but we started a teeny too fast. It was a very great workout. We packed very well and I could feel the positive vibes. There were some real cute kids who kept high-fiving us and it was adorable. 

Pickle ball at the park. 'Twas rad :) 

Me, el, Sylvia, jace and Caroline met at the park and ran. It was a great run and we climbed a mountain. Sylvia is the true mountain goat. We just chatted about running and life and it was a grand time 

No morning. 

Dream mile in the afternoon. I didnt feel super ready for the 1600 all day, i tried really hard to be positive, but i kinda dreaded it. I warmed up slow with meskerem and told myself to just do my best and push hard. It was super windy and freezing and we had to run it backwards so that the wind wasnt as bad. We started and i was just going. i didnt want to kill the first part and just stayed with the pack and tried to hang on. On the 2nd lap i told myself that i was going to push the 3rd lap and got ready to pass the pack finishing up the 2nd lap. i passed the pack and found a lot of energy that i didnt know i had. i kept pushing and i felt super good. i pushed strong and on the last little bit i could feel jacey behind me and she passed me with like 120 meters left. i tried to push but i kinda settled even though i know i shouldnt have. she got me by less than a second. I ran a 5;31 with the crazy wind which is pretty great for me. one on my best 1600's on the track!

pm-  30 on the course. felt super great

NXR! Super fun race!! i tried to just kinda relax the first mile but i kinda didnt do exactly what i wanted but taht was ok. i got into a decent spot and in the 2nd mile i felt like i was passing alot. there were so many people it was so wierd. coach said that all the girls were pretty close but i didnt really ever see anybody except rylee a few times. i tried to stay with her the first time i saw her and then i lost her. I kept pusing the 2nd mile and i felt really solid on the 3rd mile until probably the 800 mark. i slowly started just tuning out and kept trying to get into it again. i felt like i was pushing decent on the last stretch but i still got passed by some people. i ended 2nd on the team and i was 6th place. super fun raace and like 29834937493x's funner than last year

Am- 20 easy

Pm- 40 easy to Washington. 

AM- me and Alli  had to retake a test in the morning so we went at 6 and a bunch of girls decided to get up early with us which was awesome. Good run but it was cold.

PM- 3xMile repeats with 3 min recovery in between. normally all the varsity girls just do our workouts together but coach had us do it completely off of our own times today. Me and rylee are always super close so we ran together. It was weird not doing it with all the girls together. I felt a bit off today. And it was weird with Meskerem being out in front and not going to go get her. Me and ry ran a 6:31, 6:16 and 5:55. We were pretty much right on our times except the 2nd one was a few seconds slow but it was a solid workout. Yay for thanksgiving break. 

30 easy. With el 

Me and Ellie and Caroline and addi ran to our family turkey trot. Ellie invited Caroline. anyways. It was like 15 minutes. Then we ran the turkey trot. I won so that was cool! Scottie was next then Caroline it was fun and I got the family turkey trot plate. Then we finished our run 

I really didn't want to do the workout but once I started I felt great. A few girls met at Sullivan and we ran to the dam road and up it and then down. We warned 10 minutes then we did 3x(1000, 3 min recover, and 400, 3 min recover) I felt super good but it was freezing!!!! And also a dog chased us for forever and it was super annoying cuz it kept getting under our feet and stopping in front of us 

sandhills. this was probably my most successful sandhill workout ive ever done. i felt so solid on it! we had 2 ups and then and up and a down that was one hard push and then 2 hard down hills. 

30 with striders

we had a 100 to 200 wrokout increasing by 20's and each interval got faster. i felt so solid!

ran when we got to cali. all the girls ran together and i took the opprotunity to just chill in the back and not push the pace for the front. me and macey had a good chat.

best day ever! we went to the footlocker course and ran on it nice and easy. then we went to the beach. we played in the water and chased lots of birds and played super duper fun ultimate frisbee.

warmed up with alli. then got on the start line. i told myself i was going to chill at the beginning and i did. i started really chill and i so bad was getting antsy but i just chilled until switchback hill. then i started to push pretty solid. i passed a ton of people going up the hill and even more going down. at that point i was in 5th place. and i told myslef to just keep it up. i had to make myself think about using good form on the downhills and it really helped. i stayed in the same spot most of the race until the flattish part between poopout and reservoir hill. i passed 2 girls and a washington girl passed me. i ended up being fourth overall, and NO ONE passed me on the track! i can push at the end of races!!! it just took a bit of effort for me to finally figure it out. i shouldve pushed with the washington girl, but overall, it was a pretty great race. cooled down with mitch,dallen, addi, and macey. 

its been a swell 2 week break with lots of weights, yoga, abs, and ultimate

felt so good to be back at the whole running thing again!! it was a little hard, but for the first run, it felt pretty darn good!

Easy run with Ellie and Scottie. 'Twas a good run 

met with the girls and roberts at green springs park. felt harder than the tuesdays run, but felt good.

ran with ellie and my mom. felt decent. easier to breathe and my legs felt good!

ran Dino Tracks. Felt good, a little faster than the last couple days, but it felt great!

dino tracks again with all of my family and the bakers and my aunt rachel. it was a lot of fun. didnt do the complete loop today. just an out and back.

i felt so good today!!!! it was cold, but it felt good! the sun was shining and the birds were chirping and me and ellie just chatted. it was literally the best run! could have gone forever!

33 minutes with us and the Baker gals. felt pretty darn good. we ran through pine view estates and through summerfield. lovely run

Met with some of the team at Chuckwalla and ran! Felt pretty good! I'm feeling in shape again and running with the girls and Roberts was real swell, I enjoy all of their company. 

Picked up the Bakers and we ran mustang pass cuz my mom has been wanting us to show her which trail it was. We started running and, I guess i should not have eaten waffles for breakfast cuz  I felt like I was gonna throw up. I felt sooo sick. By the end I started to feel better and it was a pretty decent run. It is so enjoyable to just get out and run in the cold fresh air. I love it!
