Be a Crazy Runner

Oh man... I was so tired today, and my legs were tight!  I tried so hard to keep up with the other girls, but I couldn't!  I kept up with them after the tempo.  We ran to Green Springs today!  During the tempo, I felt like I was going pretty fast! But I was so behind Mia, Ali, and Nicole.  I don't know what happened!  My pace was prolly a 6:40 pace ish, I'm just basing it off of the other girls' times.  I decided not to stress about it, and just went with it.  I'm glad I was able to run the last mile with them!!  OH!! And I got new shoes right after! It's weird to actually feel support in running shoes.  Maybe I should get new ones more often so I won't feel that much of a difference..  But yeah, it's awesome!

AM- Easy 3!  Felt tired a tight.  I still think I am feeling it from last week!

PM-1000's!  I did pretty good!  I can't remember my times, but I remember they were all pretty speedy!  Did some weights after!

AM- Easy 3.  My legs were pretty exhausted. Did some yoga!

PM- Trail!  I felt alright for the first 2 miles, but when coach said the best part was the really good view, and we only had to add about a mile to go see it, Mia, Carli and I decided to join him! But that's when I really started to feel it. I fell super behind!!  But we made it!  And made it back to our cars, safe and sound!

AM- easy 3.  Waffle Wednesday! pretty awesome.

PM- oh man... 24 minutes?!  I thought I was gonna die, considering the fact I just ate chicken stir fry in my last period for foods class and I couldn't even keep up on the warm up!  But I was I able to keep up with Mia and Coach for most of it!  I just focused on my breathing, and tried to relax.  It worked for most of it!  Then my breathing went all crazy, and I backed off.  I was able to finish it, and got a 6:45 pace!  So that's pretty much faster than when I ran 18 minute tempo 2 weeks ago!  Last week I was a little faster, but I had more time this week, so it was pretty much the same.  Felt good after! Except for my stomach ache.  Glad I was able to finish the run!!  Thanks coach!

AM- I was so tired this morning! But glad I got myself out there! We had a nice little discussion about the book in the counceling.  I actually read!!

PM- My legs just didn't want to move.  They felt so stiff!  And plus it was kind of freezing!  I'm glad Coach was there to help out the girls.  I feel like I would've just backed off if he wasn't there!  I was able to keep on running up the hills! My breathing got so awful during each one.  So it got me light headed.  I wish I knew how to relax.  Did some weights after!

AM- easy 3

PM- nice easy run, felt tired! striders too

Ali and I got a lot girls out! We got a total of 7 girls!!  We had to kidnap Alli, and we were successful!  We ran to green springs.  My legs were tired and tight!  The tempo was pretty good! The fastest I've done it I think!  So that's good.

AM- Easy 3.

PM- Well, it wasn't my best with 1000's today, but my times were pretty consistent! That's always good!  My goal time was 3:52.  I hit 4:00, 4:06, 4:02, 4:01.  I just kinda went and ran today! I tried to go with Mia, but when I would think I'm going well, my breathing would get shallow, and I would back off.  If only I could master my breathing, I would be such a better runner!!

AM- Easy 3, with some yoga.

PM- Timed mile! I got around my race pace I had last year! So that means I am not slowing down!! My time was 5:53. My PR from last year was 5:47, I'm just a little off, but I will get better as the season goes on. :)  My start was completely awful, as usual! So mostly all the girls started in front of me, and I had to make my way around them during the first 200.  I did that!  I knew I could have just did a few quick steps and could've caught up to Mia and ran with her.  But I let my mind win, and decided to take the easy way out... :/  I was able to finish 3rd for the girls team.  Did some striders, and weights!

AM- Easy 3.  Supposed to have waffle wednesday, instead grabbed some donuts.

PM- 8 miles with 24 min tempo!  We ran as a group today! It was great!  I felt like I could push more to stay up with Mia, when more girls were doing the same! I got around the same as last time, cuz I ended the same place, so not bad!

AM- Easy 3.  Book stuff

PM- 10 200's. I thought these would be easier, but they were tough!!  The first 2 were a little off. The rest were right on or even a few seconds faster.  Our goal time was 40 sec.  Kept a solid group!

AM- Didn't come, did some singing valentines

PM- Easy 4 on a trail.  I had a head ache and my head just felt heavy. I ran with Macey, so that was fun. :)  I didn't get lost for the first time in forever.

AM- Easy 3. Felt alright

PM- um.. what the?!  I was so ready for a trail run, but I guess 200's are pretty good too! I did great the first six.  Then I started to back off... I feel so bad because it was right after coach said to run with the people you are supposed to..  I felt awful though.  My chest hurt and so did my throat.  And I am also stressed a bit about school. So that could've have done something..  Oh man, I just wish I could be up with the girls I was supposed to be... I hope I can do better next time.  I only did 11. Should've done 12, but I could barely jog the cool down for the 11th one.  My head was kinda' felt fuzzy too.  Cool down was pretty good. Got to run with Taylor and Sarah.
