Be a Crazy Runner

AM- I was super out of it today.  For the workout and the vertical jump test.  I got 11 inches for the test.  That is my PW! (Personal Worst)  Aubrey thought of that of that one, I thought it was pretty funny. :)  The workout was bleh... The first 1000 was actually pretty good!  I got 3:54, so it was a little too fast, but I felt pretty good.  The time I was supposed to hit was 4:03.  Second I got 4:04, that was the only one I got close to hitting my time.  Aubrey helped me out with this one, she caught up to me, so I just matched her pace, and we finished it together.  My other times wer 4:08 and 4:14.  I felt light headed and my arms hurt.  I think I pulled a muscle in my arms, or I just run to tight.  I need to learn to relax!  I would tell myself to run faster and to be strong, but all I did was slow down. :\  The 300 I did, I felt like I was going walking speed, I couldn't go any faster!  So I just sat out on the last one.  I think I am just super dehydrated, fatigued, and I don't eat enough.  Taylor and I were quoting the movie "How to Train Your Dragon"  saying that I need to change all of me.  Weights were good.  I'm starting to add more weights. :) 

PM- Well, we made a huge group to go on our afternoon run, but only Stoner, Megan, and I showed.  We met up at the school, and kinda made up our own run.  It was super nice weather when we started, but then it got super hot!  But it was nice, I feel way better than this morning.

AM- Easy 3 and plyos

PM- This workout was the best one I've had for like a month!  I hit my time for every one, except for 2.  But I was only 3 seconds off, so not bad!  I had eight 400's.  My time I was supposed to hit was 1:27 or 1:28, I got 1:27 on most of them, so pretty consistent!  I hit 1:28 on prolly 2 or 3 of them, and 1:31 for 2 of them.  I actually hit my times!  I'm so excited!  I'm so ready to qualify for BYU!  I know I can do it!  I just need to be mentally strong, cuz I am ready physically!

AM- Easy 3.

PM- I decided to go to the track meet at Hurricane, to cheer on Megan.  The weather was nice!  Taylor and I went on a little 2 mile run, and then we went to Dairy Queen for some dinner.  After we ran 2 more miles with Megan.  We were all feeling sick and junk, since we just ate, but that only lasted for about half of a mile.  Did some striders while we waited for Megan to race.  Super nice!

AM- Easy 3.

PM- Race!  I think I did pretty good!  I didn't know what to do with myself, cuz I had no one to pace with!  JP was about 50 meters ahead of me... I just needed Mia!  I always push myself to catch up and run with her, but she wasn't there....  But I did pretty good!  I just need to be 3-4 seconds faster, than I have BYU!  Ahhh! I'm so close!

AM- Easy 3.   Felt a little sluggish....

PM- 6 miles out to Green Springs!  We had a blast! :)  I don't remember the last time we had this much fun on a 6 mile run!  Loved it!

I ran with Mia, Aubrey and Ali.  It was tough!  But my best tempo yet!  I kept up with Mia for the first 12 minutes, then I started thinking that we have 8 more minutes, which made me slow down. :\  But it's better then the one last week!  After the tempo, my legs were so tight!  Like I couldn't even run, so I stopped and stretched, which helped a lot!  And finished my run.  I'm a little beat from this week, glad it's over.

AM- Easy 3.

PM- This has been the best workout I've had in forever!  We did 4 1000's, and 2 300's.  My time I was supposed to hit was 4:03, I hit 4:00, 3:59, 3:56, and 3:58.  So I got below my time, each 1000!  300's were great too!  I got 56 and 58!  Best I've done on those!  I think turning 17 made me faster! :)  And my shirt was dry!  I think the long sleeve thing stays dry, so I was warm the whole workout!  We did the cool down on the track, that's always fun. :) Weights were great!

AM- Easy 3 with plyos.  Someone, I'm not naming any names, decided that it would be alright to show up to morning practice 15 minutes late.  Today's run was nice and peaceful.  Oh yeah!  I could I forget!  Coach almost made me have a heart attack!  It was super cray cray.  Plyos were...fun?

PM- Another great workout!  I got right on my times or just below!  So really good!  I'm happy that we have a few recovery days before the race. :)

AM- Easy 3.

AM- Did our main run in the morning- 4 miles with 4 200's.  Super tired. :/

PM- Easy 3- Sanburgs!

AM- Easy 3.

PM- I finally did it!  BYU time! :)  It was super great!!  AHHHH!  I am so excited! :)  And I got 2nd in my heat! :)

I didn't do so hot with this race.  But I still did pretty good!  But since I was in the faster heat, I told myself that I was supposed to be in the back, so I was 4th to last. I don't even know about this race, cuz they totally messed up my time!  They were about 40 seconds off!  They said my time was 12:04.  I'm not gonna complain about it, though. :)

AM- Easy 3.  Super tired.  Grasshoppers attacked us...

PM- Another great workout! :)  I was afraid that I was gonna do awful, cuz I was way tired and drank a little bit of water.  The time I was aiming for was 4:03, I got 3:50, 3:58, 3:51, 3:50.  These are my fastest times yet!  Coach helped me a lot by running with Mia and I.  Because on the third one (when he started to run with us) is when my stomach started hurting and junk, so I prolly would've slowed down.  Thanks Coach!  300's were....good... My first one was :58, so pretty good, second one I got 1:03, that's when I just wanted to die, but I didn't. :)  Weights were great!

AM- Easy 3....plyos...

PM- This workout was pretty easy at the beginning!  I had to slow down a bunch at the end so I wouldn't get too fast of times.  But when it was like 2 repeats for the 200, I started to push harder, and it was getting pretty tought to hit my times! But I still hit them. :) The 200 I got like 4 seconds faster than I should of.  I guess I just got too excited to be done with the workout. :)

AM- Easy 3.

PM- PV relays!  I treated this more like a tough workout than a race for the mile.  For the distance medley, I ran the mile.  Then I ran the 4x8 and the 4x4.  I kinda am not loving the 400.  It's really tough, actually!  800 is pretty fun!  We won donuts! :)

AM- Easy 3 with some plyos.

PM- Recovery run, I felt super tired and sluggish all day... but I've been getting to bed by 10:30 every night!  I don't get it!  Anyways, nice run.

AM- Easy 3.

PM- I got a new PR!  I improved by 1 second! :)  Super great!  I love the mile!

I raced the 2 mile.  I finally got a good start!  I started right when the gun shot, so I was able to get in the middle of the pack, instead of last.  That's always good. :)  Anyways!  I got a PR! :)  I got faster than 12:44!  For the first time this season.

AM- Easy 3.  Super tired..

PM- I didn't really have the best day. :/ So I just thought of that during the workout, so my workout didn't go well, either.  My times were off.  But oh well!  I will do better and not let my day make my workouts crappy!

AM- Decided to do the workout in the morning with Ali!  I ran the 400's with Megan.  It was pretty good!  Figured out I should've ran faster and had less recovery, though. :|  Grass hoppers were attacking us!  It just seemed like they were gaining up on us, cuz they know that we think they are creepy.

PM- Easy 3, I ran with Aubrey!  It was way nice. :)  I'm a litte sore from the workouts this week.

AM- Easy 3.  Little chilly this morning!

PM- Easy 4!  It was the greatest thing I've heard when Coach said no 200's. :)  Super nice and relaxing!  Weights were good!

AM- Easy 3.

PM- 3 1000's!  Todays workout was super tough!!   That was the first time I felt like I was gonna throw up after a workout.  Anyways, glad it's over.

AM- easy 3.

PM- 4x400's.  Was the only varsity girl that went to the JV track meet, so I ran the workout a lone.  But my times were pretty good, i guess!  I got 1:17's every time!  Still made it to mutual on time! (thank goodness!)
