Be a Crazy Runner

First day of summer practice!  It was great!!  I loved the huge group of new people!!  A ton of new girls came!  Yeah!!  I for sure felt the two weeks of being a total fatty watching tv all day every day when I ran...  But I'll get back into the groove of running soon!  I'm excited for that day to come!  Anways, the run was really good!  I felt great, until we went up firestation hill.  That's when I fell behind Mia and Coach.  But I eventually made it back up to them. :)  Finished strong!

Today's run was a little better than yesterday!  I was able to keep up with Coach and Mia!  Good run!

I felt so good today!  I'm finally getting back into the groove of running again!

Well, I kinda slept in today, so I was a little late to practice this morning..  But anyways!  I ran 4 today!  Even though I didn't run Thursday-Saturday!  It was tough!  I was only gonna go 3 until Mia said that she could try to go four!  Haha, just kidding!  I said that. :)  Pretty sure that extra mile is gonna make a big difference!  Felt good after I caught my breath when I got back!  I also beat Coach Roberts in a freshman race! :)  

I felt great today!  Which is like the first time this season! :)  I was able to stay in the front of the group the whole time!  Today's run was really good.  Kids club was so fun!  All the little girls are so cute!

I felt great today!  I was in the front of the group the whole time!  But I almost broke my ankle like 10 times... on flat ground..

Felt great today!  I don't think striders ever felt so good!  But I think my knee is getting inflamed again... this same thing happened at region during track.  I didn't worry about that cuz we were going to take a two week break.  I don't know what to do about it.  I hope it doesn't affect my running at all.  And that it goes away soon.

We got a nice group going today!  I felt great! :)  My knee wasn't bugging me today, that's always good!  Loved today's run!

Well, today, I guess, was alright.  I felt great the first lap!  I was ahead of everyone, and I had a pretty solid pace!  During the second lap, I felt pretty good for most of it, then I just felt sick.  That's all I could think about...  So I slowed down. :/  Dang it.. I didn't really get the distance I wanted...  I was on my fourth lap when we stopped.  My distance was 1370.

I felt so great today!  Even though we did go a faster pace than usual.  Maybe it was cuz Rachel was there.  But I blame our fast pace on Coach Roberts. :)   I beat Rachel in a freshman race, no matter what she says!  Kids club was so fun, as always!

I felt pretty good today.  It's just that I was super tired.  My legs weren't tired, I was just tired.  But other than that!  It was great!

I actually felt pretty good on this run!  I was so worried before that it was gonna be the hardest run!  But I soon figured out that it wasn't.  The first lap, I kept up with Coach Roberts, and the 2nd one Coach Roberts had me lead all the girls, so I pretty much ran alone for most of it, and at the very end, when it got steeper Megan and Coach caught up to me, and that's when I sped up.  I was going a pretty fast pace at the very end!  I was just thinking to myself that I was almost done, and that made me run faster!  And I ended up 1st! :D Well besides those college girls!  I felt great today!  So glad I was able to run it!  Looking forward to the easy runs. :)

Felt pretty good today, that hill was a killer, though.  Glad I went.

Ran with Megan this morning!  We decided to meet at Pine View park and ran around there.  It was great!  It went by way fast! :)

Well, today was better than last week!  I still wish I could've ran better!  I just didn't know how to pace myself.  I should've just kept up with Roberts.  Oh well!  Gives me something to work up to!!  It was tougher to know how fast to go since it was a longer time, so I started out at a solid pace in the beginning, sped up in the middle, and the last 3 minutes, I slowed down... Exactly what coach said not to do...dang it.  Excited for kids club tomorrow! :)

Well, today's workout was tough!  I thought I was only gonna do like twenty 30 second repeats, but I ended up doing 40!  Thanks to Coach Roberts!  He kept on saying for me to do "one more", when really he means, that I should do 40... But oh well!  I'm glad I got myself to do that.  After, I was so tired!  I feel bad for the girls in my group, cuz I didn't have the energy I usually have!  But I took an hour long nap when I got home. :)

Easy day!  I felt tired from yesterday, so we decided to take down the pace for today, that felt so good. :)  Striders were great!  Coach Robert's gave me some great running tips!

I felt way better today than when we did it last week!  Although, I did feel more tired than yesterday, like during warm-up and during core exercises.  But! I was the first girl (from High School) to finish for both of the hills!  And during the second one, I kept up with Rachel for most of it!  When she started to speed up at the steep part, I went with her!  She kept on speeding up, and so did I!  It was great!  With only like 100 meters to go (that's a guess, maybe farther, or closer! But I don't know...) , I fell behind.  It felt great!  Glad Rachel was there to push me!  Glad it's an easy run tomorrow. :)

Today was nice!  Felt good to have an easy run!  Coach Roberts had me lead on the way there, and had Mia lead on the way back!  I pretty much had all the hills! What the?! On the way back I stepped on a rock all weird, and hurt my ankle again... I did that twice, on the same ankle!  But I could still run on it.  It still hurts a little, but I'll ice it.
