Failure makes me work even harder.

Hell's Hole!  It was a good run....we did bounders on the big hill x8, but it wasn't bad at all (the first time).  We ran about half a mile with everyone together then the level 3B's turned around and Michael, Byron, and I kept running about half a mile, talking about fish and bear stories.  I felt really good today, which maybe due to all the stretching and icing I did over the weekend!  Michael seems to be getting real antsy (spell check) about racing, but I don't think I'm quite ready to race yet, but don't get me wrong...when the season comes around I'll be ready to roll!  I have been getting a little bit more nervous about my final season, but I keep trying to build my confidence up right after so we will see if it works.  Going to do some strength lifting, plyos, core exercises and maybe some yoga today!  I have been pretty impressed with the newbies and the younger runners this year stepping up!  The red heads are looking strong (Red Leader, Braiden)!  Also, Josh and Wes are looking pretty good!  There are so many I could name, but I don't think you want me to go on and on so I'll stop haha.  Makes me real excited!  Even though we are a fairly young team, I see some real commitment and hardwork and it shows great \prospects for this year! SO EXCITED!

Ran around the dock today.  It was a great run.  I felt great and my average was 6:56 per mile!  I think I'm ready to role...just need to work out hard and get ready to roll!

Today I ran on the road leading into the dock...FOREVER LONG!  I felt tight and tired on the way out.  I think that's because it seemed forever long and it was HOT! But good I got it in.

I tried to run in this cove by my boat but it wasn't even a half a mile long so I ran around in circles but eventually just stopped due to frustration.

Tried running on this canyon ledge (an amazing view), but it wasn't as rocky as I expected...it was deep, sandy hills! I eventually turned around because it was too dangerous.

Ran out in the desert again...it was hard because its higher elevation and deep sand made it hard to keep a fast pace.  My fastest pace was 7:30 and my average was 10:27 per mile.  I think I learned a lot over this vacation, including about my running!
