Be a Crazy Runner

AM- Easy 3.

PM-  What happened??  Easy 3!  It was great!  We ran out to Hot Nails (or as Stoner says it Cold Hammers).  It was fantastic!  I felt good during striders. :) 

It was sooo cold!  I couldn't feel my hands or face throughout the whole 5k.  But it was way fun!  The first part, it was really hard for me, for I don't know why.  But it got easier.  My dad almost caught up to me, but I never let him pass me!  It was great!  My time they said I got was 20:51, but I'm pretty sure I got 22 something.

AM- Easy 3.

PM- I felt way better than I did last week.  I was pretty good on my times.  But I never got right on.  I was supposed to hit 6:42, I got 6:47, 6:49, 6:39, and 6:50.  I felt the best on the first one.  I started to feel tired on the 3rd lap of my second one.  Overall, it was a pretty good workout.  Wieghts were good, my legs are a little sore, though.

AM- Easy 3 and some plyos.

PM- Trail run!  Well, this run was super tough.  My legs felt really tight the whole time.  We decided to take turns leading the pack.  That was fun.  That made us push harder so we can stay at the front.  My legs are now sore.  I'm going to stretch and roll like crazy tonight!

AM- Easy 3.

PM- I felt pretty good for today's run!  I ran with Coach Roberts.  It was great!  He kept me on pace for the tempo.  But he stayed behind for JP at the half way point, and he gave me the watch and said for me to go without him.  So I started running back, and I slowed down, like to 8 minute pace. :\  Then Aubrey caught up to me, and we started running together.  And when Coach and JP caught up, we speed up and for the last minute we went 6:55 pace.  It was great!  On the way back, my legs were super tight, so I'm gonna stretch and role.  I'm suprised that I did as well as I did for today's run, cuz I didn't even do the tempo last week.

AM- Easy 3 and plyos.  Legs felt a little tired.

PM- Old man hills!  I felt pretty good!  On the 800, I didn't really go the pace I was supposed to, cuz I wasn't really thinking positive about it.  The first 400, I did better than the 800!  But the second one, I just focused on my legs and how bad they hurt, so I kinda fell behind.  The first two 200s were amazing!  I did way good!  The 3rd one, let my mind wander, wasn't really focused.  The last one, I tried to push myself super hard, but I felt like I was going to pass out any second.  Next time, I am going to think positive and drink more water!  On the way back, I ran with Rachel.  It was way fun to talk to her. :)  Weights were great!  I know I am going to feel sore tomorrow!  But I stretched and rolled like crazy as soon as I got home.  So I hope my legs feel good tomorrow with the easy 3!  I can't wait!  I've been looking forward to Friday the WHOLE week! :)

Wow! Easy 3! It was so great! I ran with Megan and Aubrey! It was so fun to hand out flyers! Striders were fantastic! :)

Children of Hope 5k!  It was so cold!  My legs were super tired fromt this week, so I kinda didn't hit my tempo, but I stayed behind coach and his daughter for a good half a mile!  before I died off.  Next time I will be faster!

AM- Easy 3.  Kinda tough to get up this morning.

PM-  Wow!  I felt great today!  I just had to keep myself positive!  I figured out I can do great things when I think I can do it!  And plus, I got a PR!!  By one second!  My legs were hurting a ton when I finished, but it's alright!  Cuz that means I pushed myself! :)  I can't wait for this track season!  I want to see how much more I improve in the mile!  I'm kinda nervous for missing the tempo this Wednesday... I hope it doesn't hurt me too bad. :\  It's gonna be a tough week...  I'm gonna miss Timmy!

AM- Easy 3.

PM- My legs kinda hurt a lot...  Today's run was actually pretty good!  I felt great!  But during the tempo, I started thinking like about Tim.  So I slowed down a ton.  But when Jake caught up to me, I started going his pace, so it was nice.  I went way faster than I was supposed to when I was running with him, but it's good to push myself sometimes, right?  Timmy is now an Elder... How wierd is that?!  I love Timmy!

AM- Easy 3.

PM- I didn't run this afternoon, we dropped Tim off today.

AM- Easy 3!

PM- Kinda' had a long, hard day.  And just thinking about this workout made me feel worse.  We had ten 200's race pace!  It was hard to keep that pace!  I kept on getting 42 or 43.  But my time I was supposed to hit was 44.  But I was around that time for every single one.  Except for the last one... I got it right on!  It kinda loosened my legs a little, so they actually don't hurt any more!  A little sad I can't sleep in tomorrow, and we don't have an easy 3... but oh well...

AM- Easy 3

PM- Trail run!  It was tough!  But I never fell behind and we never got lost! :)  It was great!  I am super sore from the week though.  Atleast I can sleep in tomorrow!

I ran with Stoner, Mia, and Megan!  It felt super good!  The weather was great!  I prolly went a little slow on the tempo, it's just that everytime I sped up, I started thinking about life and stuff... So I slowed down without realizing it.  Oops! :\  My legs are sore, so I am gonna stretch and roll.  Hopefully by Monday, they feel better! 

I ran with the other varsity girls this morning at7:30.  It was a little chilly!  I was super tired, too.  Like all throughout the run, I would close my eyes and slow down.  I could bearly keep my eyes open!  Also I had a headache, for I don't know why, and my legs felt heavy.  I tried to go faster on the hills, but my legs wouldn't go faster than they were going.  But I guess I did alright for today's run!

AM- Easy 3 and plyos.

PM- 1000's!  They are way better than 1600's!  I stayed up with Mia the whole time! :)  My time I was supposed to be 4:09.  I got 4:02, 4:05, 4:11, and 4:06.  I did pretty good!  Mia is a way good pacer!  I'm glad I got to run with her!  It was a great workout today!

AM- Easy 3.  Super cold... and wet..

PM- Easy 4!  It was so fun!  I felt pretty good!  But my legs tightened up at the end.  Weights were great!

AM- Easy 3!

PM- This workout is great!  But I'm out of shape, as coach would say!  My heart rate was always over 130 every time we checked it.  But I guess that would make sense, cuz I was too fast on every single one of my 200's except my 10th one, I got it right on!  My time I was supposed to hit was 44, I kept on getting 41.  It's just that I run with Mia, and she wants to run with Rachel, so she speeds up and then so do I!  So we kept on getting way too fast times!  I gotta work on that!  But I think I'm getting sick again... My cough is coming back. :\  I hope it goes away fast!

AM- I didn't come today... I woke up with a heart rate of 84, and I had a really bad cough. :\

PM- This run was super hard for me.  I was the last person to finish my run.  I feal super gross and it felt like I couldn't breath or relax at all during the run.  I didn't even do my striders.  And I think that running just made me worse, cuz now my throat hurts even worse and I'm cold like all the time.  I hope I will feel better soon. :\

I ran with Taylor this morning at the high school.  We ran out to Target.  I felt so... bleh.  I felt like I was going to pass out and/or throw up.  Anyways, it wasn't a really fun run.  I think I might have a cold.  My throat hurt a lot.  But anyways, atleast I didn't have this sickness when we have a track meet! Cuz that would be bad!  I'm glad I have it now instead of later! :)

AM- Easy 3.  Had trouble breathing, I went really slow.

PM- 4 miles.  My throat was bugging me the whole time.  Striders kinda' made it start hurting again.  I think running is making it worse.  I don't  know if I should go to morning practice. :\

I didn't go on a run today, I want to recover from my cold, or alteast do something, so I can do well on the Kosmin test tomorrow!

I went on the warm-up... I feel so awful that I'm missing this workout... Will we do it again for the people who missed it?

I might go to the doctor today.. I'm just afraid they are gonna tell me that I can't run!

Just 3!  I made the decision that I am not doing distance any more for track!  I finally found my true calling in track, and it's hurdles!  Just kidding!  I did so awful!  Hurdles scare me so bad!  I only jumped over 3, and ran around all the rest!  I still was last!  I'm sticking with the mile! :)  I couldn't talk during striders, whenever I tried, nothing would come out!  I hope my voice comes back soon!
