umm... running... blog

AM- 5 w/ 2 mile indian run  at the end, plus 4x200's, that was the funnest run i've had for a while! oh the joys of running fast like a tree, choo-choo train, cat, and rocket! don't forget the sound effects- that was hilarious! i didn't feel so hot during the 200's though, kinda headache and gross. i was a little slow during the indian run too. shoulda ran on saturday, but we had a fun time with Devo!

PM- 3 w/ 4 hills, 4x100's, pretty great except i felt a little dehydrated, so, yah. i need to force myself to drink more tomorrow. 

AM- good 3 with striders, only the baseball field was like freezing my feet numb! 

PM- ran at night while my mom biked, really hurt on my left upper thigh, the back side. i had my momma stretch me out, and roll me with a rolling pin and it helped pretty good 

good stuff

AM- good 3

RACE- the false start kinda scared me, but i needed it cuz my first start wasn't so good. well, I felt pretty strong throughout the race, and my second aunt and cousin were there, he ran and my aunt cheered for me! that helped, so did all the team's cheering, particularly megan and both coaches- thanks much! I kept on trying to pass people, and passed the dixie team:) but i didn't have as good of a kick as I should've had. then i looked at my time and i was about a minute behind Taylor Boyer and a minute and a half behind Liz, so that kinda made me disappointed with myself. I think the next step is to keep being strong but amp up the pace and like coach said, dare to go for it. i think there is more in me that i am just scared to try to use. but the best part of the race was..... MY SHOES DIDN'T COME UNTIED! happy day! i like this course, its pretty good. 

8- ran the state course for warm up, felt super, super cold! and our shoes were soaked! wow! then we did the workout, the 3x( 2min, 1min, 30sec) thingy. i stayed pretty close to JP, Stoner, and Mia for the first set and was in front of the other girls, that was good. then the next 2 min was up that hill, and i fell behind more from the top girls, but was pretty close to taylor. the next ones were better until the next 2 minuter up the continuous incline across the pond, i fell behind there too, but was still in front of liz and nicole. the last minute and 30 secs were better. then we ran the course back to the pond. the 3 miles to watch the JV's was alright, my inner right foot kinda hurt and so did my mosquito bite, but not that bad. It was fun to cheer for them.
