Be a Crazy Runner

My dad woke me up this morning and asked me if I wanted to run with him.  I really didn't want to, but I did anyways.  At first, I was going supa' slow, but then a started catching speed, and just got faster and faster!  I felt great!  Way better then yesterday's run!  We saw the Kimzey parents (Casey's) out on a walk, that was pretty cool.  Anyway, I loved today's run. :)

I felt really good for today's run, in fact for about a mile and a half, I lead the pack!  That boosted my self-esteem. :)  I did some weights, I am going to hurt supa' bad tomorrow!  I never remeber weights being this hard!  But oh well, it is gonna be a good pain.  Thanks again, Coach, for showing me how to do the squat things, even though those are gonna make me hurt the most.  Overall, great run!

I hate vertical jumping... Anyways, today's run was supa' great!  I am really sore from yesterday.  Holy crud!  I haven't hurt this bad in a long time!  Some stupid kid asked if he could run with us, so I gave him a challenge and said that he could run with us if he could keep up.  So he started to sprint, and Taylor and I started to sprint.  Guess what!  He never even caught up to us!  It was awesome!  He took the challenge and FAILED!  Haha!  This run was fantastic. :)

This workout wasn't that bad.  But I learned my lesson to never eat peanut M&M's in fourth period right before a workout EVER again.  That didn't help me much at all.  My first mile was way too fast, it was 6:40 something, my second one was better, it was 7:20.  My goal was 7:21.  I think this workout turned out pretty good.  Weights were tough, but I like the new way we are doing them.  I love running! :D

TRAIL TUESDAY!  Woo hoo!  I actually liked today's run.  Well, the first half, I felt really tired.  But the second half, I felt supa' good, and we ran fast.  I about broke my ankle like 7 times.  I really do love running, no matter how hard it gets.

This run was way fantastic!  I ran with Coach Roberts for most of the run.  He pushes me super good!  He made me run the same pace the whole time.  I never slowed down, even though I wanted to.  Thanks, Coach!  You helped a lot!  Overall, great run! :)

This run was supa' tiring.  The wind made it like 10 times harder... bleh.  But I got to run with Maskerium (sorry, I don't know how to spell her name..), Ali, and Aubrey!  It was fun!  Striders were great, as always.  Weights were tough, but if it makes me faster, I will do them!  My legs were sore from yesterday's run.  But Coach Roberts said that the pace I was doing will soon become my "easy" pace.  I am excited for that day to come. :)

This workout was pretty hard, but it was easier than running the mile all in one.  The first two were pretty good, the last two, I was pretty close to jogging.  Well at least it felt that way.  But it went by way fast, so that's good.  Good workout.  It was nice.

I ran with Maquel this morning at 12:30 and finished around 1:30.   So we went a pretty good pace.  We would have finished earlier, it 's just that Maquel had to keep on stopping because of her shin splints.  During the 10 minute thing, I didn't know how to pace my self, so I am pretty sure that a I didn't go the pace I was supposed to.  But I went faster than I was going when I started.  We stopped and stretched in the middle of the run, that really hurt and felt great at the same time.  On the way back, we kinda took it easy, except for the last mile, that's when we went super fast, because we knew we were almost done with our run. :)  I am a little sore from yesterday, so I am gonna stretch, and hopefully my legs will feel better on Monday.

This workout was great! :)  But it was SUPER cold!  I couldn't feel my face!  Anyway, my first mile was a little slower than my time was supposed to get (the time I was going for: 6:48) the time I got on the first one was 6:51.  My second one was even SLOWER!  I got 6:54!  So for the last one, I said to myself to beat the time I am supposed to get.  It was way tough and I wanted to slow down, but guess what!?  I did it!  I got faster than I was supposed to get by 4 seconds!  I got 6:44!  It just proves, no matter how much you want to slow down and take it easy, you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to!  I love running! :D

Well.... since coach is so good at giving directions, we got lost.  We had no idea where we were.  We prolly did go the right way, but just didn't know.  I am so glad I wasn't running alone, or I would have prolly sat down, curled up in a ball, and started crying.  Well, it might not be that extreme. :)  Thank goodness for JP and her truck, or we would have died in the wilderness.  Thanks JP!

I felt great during the tempo today!  In fact, I think it was easier today than when we did it last week.  I ran with Coach Roberts the whole time.  He pushes me a lot!  If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have ran as fast as I should of.  Thanks again, coach!  Couldn't get better without you!

Old man hills!  It was super great!  Megan and I were the only girls running the 800 hills. :)  It was awesome!  I got to push Megan, it made me feel good when she would push her self to run with me.  Weights were great!  I now know how to sit. :D  Now it's time to go and do homework!  It's gonna be a party!

This run was super entertaining.  We got the orange ball from the boys in front of us, and started to toss it around our girls' team.  It was fun.  It felt like we went kinda' fast, but I think it was just because we pushed ourselves a ton this week.  Striders were a blast.  Went by way fast.  Running is the best!

I ran with Taylor Boyer this morning.  It was nice to actually run with her, for the first time this week. :)  We ran from the high school to Target.  It was fun.  But I can feel my legs getting really tired from the week.  Good run.

Ran with Taylor at the high school.  Felt good.

Well the beginning of the workout was the best!  I kept on beating my time I was supposed to get.  My time was supposed to be 6:48.  I hit 6:44 and 6:45.  It was awesome!  After the second one, I couldn't calm down my breathing, and it felt like I wasn't recovering.  I couldn't even keep up with Taylor.  The time I hit with that one was 7:05.  The very last one was my worst one.  It felt like I couldn't breath, and I fell way behind.  The time I hit was 7:12.  On the cooldown, I felt awful, and I still couldn't relax from the workout we did.  I hope I am not getting sick.  Oh well!  We all have bad workouts time to time, right?

AM- Easy 3.

I figured out, I have no idea what I am doing with tempo without Coach Roberts.  So I kinda went the pace that felt like it was fast enough.  But I guess it was just a little slow.  This 8 mile run went by way faster than last weeks!  Today's run was actually way nice!  And plus I was faster than Taylor B. the whole time!  I kinda went tempo at the very end too, but it wasn't on purpose, it was because I wanted to catch up to the boys and Megan.  Overall, great run!  Felt fantastic, way better than yesterday!

This run was by far the funnest 6 mile run ever!  The tempo was actually not too bad.  We had a Mario moment!  We crawled through a pipe.  It was so fun!  And plus, we saw a hobo!........ Just kidding!  After that adventure, we decided to have a berry war!  It was great!  Today's run was the best!

AM- Easy 3

PM- Trail run!  Woo hoo!  Felt great for the first half, but the second half, my legs got really tired.  Well, Coach, JP, Mia, and Megan all felt great, so Taylor, Aubrey, Maquel and I kinda fell behind, so we can catch our breath.  And then the trail like turned into a maze!  And we couldn't see the girls (and coach) in front of us.  So we went the way that we thought they went, and we hoped it was right.  Turned out it was right!  We have such great tracking skills!  Oh, how I love trail runs! :) 

Ran with Megan at the high school!  We ran out to green springs!  It was great!  My legs feel supa' tired though.  Hopefully the weekend will make my legs ready for next week!

Well, I felt like junk today.  All day at school, during the stretches, during the warm-up, and during the workout.  All through out the day, I was light headed and I had a really bad cough.  It was bad.  I felt awful during the workout.  During the repeats, like every single one, I felt light headed and couldn't really focus on what I was doing.  I kept on zoning out.  After every one, I couldn't breath or stand up straight.  Well, I hope I feel better tomorrow!  Cuz I don't want to stop running and lose all that I have gained!

Trail run!  It was by far my favorite trail we've ran!  I felt a little tired for the first half, but the second half, I felt great... well after going up that huge hill, I felt great!  I about broke my ankle a few times, one of the times, I kinda punched Taylor.  And guess what!  We didn't get lost!  It was the best! :)  Still felt a little sick from yesterday, but I took some medicine today, so I felt better.

AM-  Oh my heck!  We ran so fast!  (well we went normal pace, I just said that so the boys will feel better about themselves).  We ran with the boys the WHOLE time!  What the?!  It was great. :)

I kinda zoned out for the whole run... I wasn't thinking straight at all today and I had a headache the whole day.  This 5 miles was pretty tough.  Even without tempo.  Thank goodness I didn't go 8 miles or I would've died on the side of the road.  I hope I start feeling better soon.

I felt way better than yesterday!  I'm almost all the way better.  It's great!  While we were doing the hills, my legs kinda' felt heavy.  My head felt wierd too, but I think it was because I'm still recovering from a cold.  Today's run was awesome!  Weights were fantastic!  I finally sort of learned how to do the squats!  :)  My legs are gonna feel sore tomorrow, but it's alright!  It will make me a better runner!
