umm... running... blog

5, i was not feeling so swell- had to stop a couple times to breathe.

3, so hot! but i felt actually better than the morning.  i am weak at lifting 

AM- 4 dirt miles, stayed with roberts, mia, and stoner (or close behind) the whole time and felt pretty good. i am scared i'll not be in good enough shape for a race tomorrow though:(

PM-  3 miles with Liz, oh so good to have a partner!

am- grass was awesome, love running a loop before grass loops!

Race- well, I did not so good.  I got boxed in at the beginning, and then worked my way up a little, but had a hard time not settling. I knew I was going slow, but I couldn't get myself to go.  I sat too.  well I guess that's what  

We killed the hill work out!  Me and nicole led the group, it was nice to be in front! 

AM- Pretty good, ran with Devin.  Alpine has huge houses.

PM- Ran at night, felt awesome, also with devin again.  we played the abc game, and of course got stuck on Q 

5 with hill, well felt pretty good, i was a little tired but about 2 miles + was in this cool neighborhood with overgrown trees that created a canopy shade thing! awesome.

AM- 7, we took it pretty easy this morning, it felt great outside.  Me and Aubrey left Liz, Megan, and Taylor on the way back. My left ankle hurt though, and some of my arch did too.  I don't know what i did, maybe twisted it?

AM- 6.75, the work out was hard, i wasn't super consistent on 1000's, range of 4:02 to 4:17.  Aubrey and Liz were always just right there, I needed to push harder to stick with them.

PM- 2.37, because i waited too long and then it was too dark to finish it out ( i stopped to go to the bathroom and then couldn't finish the run) 

AM- 3 with Nicole was supa AWESOME! love 6 am runs, they're the best!

PM- 5, me and Nicole were pretty consistent i felt, but i think we could have pushed a little harder. Sprinklers are my best friends:)

AM- 3 in the mornin was pretty nice, my lower right leg hurt a bit

PM- 3 w/ striders was pretty good, i didn't drink enough water though and was sweating a ton and a half! missed the very end of plyos for violin lessons.  

AM- good 3

PM- 3 with 200's, those were pretty hard. 

Ha, not good at all. i totally gave up and settled. I ran varsity though and passed 3 hurricane girls at the end. i'll never give up during a race like that again.

AM- good work out, really hard, 5x3minutes! so glad it was in the mornin though! i need to trust myself to go for the next level of pain

PM- easy 3, weights were good 

AM- 3, nice and easy!

PM- 8 total. 4.5 was nice and cool at the end, time trial I felt pretty good about. I pushed harder than hurricane for sure, but I could've stayed with Aubrey and Liz at the beginning- that would've of pushed me. taylor was always a little ahead of me.  I found I can push good up the hill and after, that's where i'd narrow the gap, but once we approached the grass by the tenis court i'd fall back again. I can finish strong, but i should start picking it up sooner- trust myself and all that good stuff. I passed Taylor at the end. 

AM- running in the rain was the best!!!! i loved it, and i felt pretty good about the workout!

PM-easy three, also in rain! yah yah 

Am- only 2 cuz i forgot about some reading i needed to do

PM- 3 with striders! prolly the funnest run i have had in a long time! green springs in the humidity was actually enjoyable as we were clapping, being whipped, and going crazy! weights were all right. 

AM- did it with Erin, Mariah, and Liz a little earlier and then did the 200's! they felt good and solid!

PM- easy 3 was alright, i felt tired for some reason though, even though it was easy 

Well, we didn't warm up so good- that's not going to happen again hopefully. Well, I started out... and was in 1st place!  and then i said to myself," what am i doing?"  and so i slowed down, dumb i know yet it happened.  and so i kept slowing down for a little bit before i picked it back up.  my shoes stayed tied up:) I beat some girls at the end cuz this Cedar girl i'd worked hard to pass was catching me, so in staying in front of her i passed like 2 or 3 more girls too!!!

missed afternoon for pit practice

AM- good

PM- 3 with the run a thon, alright

PM2- 7 miles w/ 30 minute tempo, felt pretty solid, singing "Here Comes Santa Claus" really keeps the pace going!  the river trail is super humid at night, but i love night runs! Me Nicole and Aubrey had a great time.
