Life's Swell

Am- weights. It was a goooood workout this morning. Thought about running til it was 8 degrees, so I pushed it off. 

Pm- 5 with Sam up canyon. It was a little slow due to the snow on the trail. Last year I avoided running through the snow at all cost, and stuck to the sidewalks, but it was actually pretty fun! It kinda felt like running through the sand, but it was way funner. I added two around the school and then ran to the gym to meet Ells. 

Am- 2 miles easy down Main Street. I thought it would be colder but it wasn’t bad. 7:43 avg

Pm- 5 total. 3 with Alison on park loop and 2 on Main Street by myself. 

I’ve been feeling really good for the last little bit. I’m excited to bump mileage but I’m gonna do it smartly. I’ve finally figured out how to stay healthy and haven’t had anything major happen all year. My goal for track is to keep it that way (and hopefully for a long time). Super pumped for track come January! 

I’m so ready for school to be done. I have 5 tests in the next 8 days. I might just move to the library for a few days. Also. I think I’m gonna get my first non A in my whole life. Rip to streak 

Am- 6 with Sam. I had the hardest time warming up this morning. My body felt really tired, and my muscles were not wanting to move, and my gut hurt. Finally started feeling pretty good at 4.5 miles but we had weights so I kept it to 6 miles. Kept the pace pretty slow (although it didn’t feel as slow as it was) Partly due to not warming up, but it was also pretty icy for a lot of it. 7:59 avg. 

Pm- 2 miles easy on the treadmill. 

Last day for the gym class! Woot woot! Also i finished all my assignments and papers and I only have 4 more tests and looooota to study for. Woohoo! 

8 miles this afternoon. 1 on my own then met up with Sam and did 7 on dikes. It honestly felt soooooo good today, and I felt a zillion times better than yesterday. Added in 8x30 second pickups as well and those felt really nice. I’m getting fitter and I love it! 

me and christian made a gingerbread house and it was sooooo dope if i do say so myself. and we even beat alison and nate in the competition!

I have converted 2 people to the blog in the last week and I’m ecstatic! 

8 with sam on cross hollows. I felt really good through 6 miles up heartbreak. Stopped at maverick to go to the bathroom. Then i started getting pretty tired the last 2 miles. I was pushing pretty hard but not going anywhere, kinda like those dreams where you’re running as fast as you can but are literally not moving an inch. 

2.5 with Christian. Felt pretty good. 7:22 avg. 

The ball of my right foot felt weird today. Like when I stepped and rolled up, it pulled my toe tendon underneath. Need to ice 

3 with Christian and then 2 on my own. Wasn’t planning on going only 5 but my foot really was buggin me. So on my second parkloop I cut back on the shorter one. 7:11 avg
