Life's Swell

well i was gonna meet and run with alison but she slept in for freakin ever so i just left. i went canyon to bicent and after i ran up the canyon i was following thomas for quite a while cuz he was on the dirt trail which was a little longer and i was on the paved one. once i got into the park he had stopped cuz koy was coming toward us. we stopped and talked for a sec and then thomas ran with me the last 4 miles. he is sooooo cool. we havent talked alot til today and i wanna be friends. he is from france and walked on to the team this year. it was way fun to talk with him. 

2 mile warm up and then an 80%. this is such a tough workout for me. as soon as i lose contact with the group i struggle so hard to stay focused on running hard. it was at least consistent today. 18:54 was my time, which is 5 seconds faster than last time. I need to start working on staying in contact with the group in front of me for as long as possible. today was barely more than a mile. next time will be better! I can feel myself getting stronger in workouts and i love it so much, even if it is just in small increments. cooled with angie morgan and haley. did a few laps on the grass after to get to 8

7 miles, park to bicent with some grass loops, not everyone did grass so it was just me alison haley and julieta. then we ran back and coach biked with us. i seriously love it when he bikes with us, hes a funny guy. 

then 10 strides and then a few laps to get to 8 miles with haley.

Practice on the mountain this afternoon 3x50/80 Miles. 7:21, 6:19, 7:34, 6:59, 7:50, 6:37. Oh my gosh this workout was way hard, but I did it! The second 80 was a little rough. Cuz it was literally alllll uphill. Coach split us in to groups. I was with Brighton and Sam. I hung great with them the 1st and last one. Mike cool 

Easy run with strides after. Pretty chill I just did mainstreet with Sam and then added to the grass. Most of the girls did dikes. Then strides with Alison and haley

I was dying today. Me and Alison came up north for maroon 5 (which was very lit btw) and then met with Julieta for our workout. I am freakin sick and couldn’t breathe like at all and kept coughing. So I did most of it but it got to the point that the workout was doing me no good so I just stopped and jogged. 15x400 is what I did. It was good the first 10 and slowly just got worse and worse the last ones. Cooled to 7
