I found it a little harder to stay up this morning....  After I ran and the A's were done, I took a little nap.  I'm glad I chose group A, because that meant I was done before everyone else.  The 'Dash for Cash' was great.  I was a little sore from the run-a-thon, so the 400's were not as fast as I wished they were... but I did alright.  The Run-a-thon was blast and a half! :)

AM- Easy 3.  It was really nice.  My knees hurt a little though...  but I'm not worried about it.

PM- 5 1000's.  I have a huge knot in my leg.... that didn't help me much.  So I rolled and stretched like crazy after the workout.  My shoulder also had a knot....  But my knees didn't hurt. :)  Yeah for the team dinner tomorrow!  I'm SO excited! :

PM- EASY 3!!  I love easy runs!  We went to Hot Nails and stopped at the little river.  I spoke in a british accent with Little Taylor Boyer.  It was a "good show". :D

AM- Easy? 3 with 4 200's.  Nice run....

PM- Easy 3 out to Sandbergs! (did I spell that right?)  It was really fun.  We all sang songs supa' loud!  It was awesome!  I really enjoyed this run!  Okay, I don't know if I should be nervous or excited for this run...  As of right now, I am a little nervous.  I hope Kaelie can come!

AM- Easy 3.  Kaelie and I went a little earlier so we could run with Erin and Taylor.  It was super fun.

PM- Ran the State course, and stretched after. 

Race- I really like this course.  It was awesome, because I just kept on passing people.  My favorite part was the dirt hill part.  That was the part I past the most girls.  It was awesome.  But near the end, my stomach started to hurt.  I think we should eat a little earlier than we did before a race.  I passed a girl at the very end.  That made me feel fast.  I loved this race, I'm glad I went to it.

I ran with Kaelie this morning at 7.  We went out passed Hot Nails.  My hip is beginning to hurt again.  I hope it doesn't get worse.  I will stretch and ice like crazy.

AM- Well, that was the hardest workout I've done in a long time.  The 30 sec. ones were all right.  The 800's I kinda fell behind, and the 1000's I really started to fall behind.  I started to tighten up too.  Thanks for pushing me coach at the end, that helped me a ton.  I'm going to stretch like crazy today.  Atleast there's an easy 3 this afternoon. :)

PM- Easy 3.  I ran with JP, Stoner, and Mia.  It was a blast and a half.  Taylor didn't run with us because we decided to be mean and made her do her 1000's that she decided to skip out on this morning. (just kidding about the skipping out thing, but we really did make her do her 1000's). :P

AM- Nice easy 3 with striders.

PM- I loved today's run!  I felt supa' good in the time trial!  I was close behind Mia the whole time!  I just had to picture Coach pushing me again. (thanks Coach!)  I can't wait for the race this weekend!  The sprints were actually fun too, I did them with Taylor B.  It was a blast and a half!  I felt great both mentally and physically during today's run! :D

AM- I left a little ealier with Taylor, so that gave me enough time to get to Robert's class on time! :)

PM- Easy 3, super fun.... but I need more sleep, cuz I felt supa' beat up and tired.  My new goal: 9:00 pm every night!  I hope I can do it!

AM- I got up a little ealier to run with Erin and Kaelie.  It was fun. :)

PM-  This race wasn't my greatest.  I was hurting like the whole time during it.  Going up the Mutha Cussa (is that how you spell it?) I was going slower than the people that were walking.  But it was after the hill when I passed one girl.  At the last stretch, a girl passed me, but right before the finish line, I went in a all out sprint and passed her.  So I guess that was the best part of the race for me.  But that's also when I started hurting the most.  After cheering for the boys, thats when I lost it and started crying...  But we beat Desert Hills!!!  And we got 3rd!  That was awesome to get a trophy!  I can't wait for next week's race! :)

I decided to sleep in until 9 this morning, it was supa' nice.  The weather wasn't even that hot this morning, in fact it was perfect.  My legs are still hurting, but not as bad as yesterday.  My last mile I felt like a did a pretty good pace, it was 8:33 minute pace.  But all the other ones were like 11 minute pace.  Overall, this was a nice run.

AM- I loved this morning's run!  The 2 mile Indian run was the best. :)  Every time we had to run to the front we had to pretend we were something that we are not (ie tree).  It was a blast!  200's I tightend up again.... I love running!

PM- Easy 3 out to Green Springs.  Supa' fun.   It was REALLY hot though!  I hurt during the sprint things we had to do (100s and the hill sprints).  But that's alright, because I ate a banana. :)   Hopefully that will help with my tightness.

AM-  Easy 3 with striders.  About froze our feet off running on the baseball field. :)

PM- Easy 3.  Coach tricked me into doing one more eight hundred (we did the warm-up lap) That better make me a better runner, or I am going to beat up Coach.... (I'm kidding, Roberts....)

AM- I have got to think positive!!  The whole time during the Michigan, I was thinking to not push hard, so my legs would stop hurting and not tighten up again.  I should have kept up with Taylor and Nicole.  I think my last years Michigan was faster.... unless the times were wrong last year.  I hope I'm not slowing down, cuz I want to keep my 4th varisty spot.  My time was about 33 something...  I know I could have pushed way harder than I did.

PM- I decided to run with Alyssa and Taylor for this 3 mile run.  It is supa' HOT!  And guess what?  I landed on my ankle weird... again!!!  Why do I do this to myself?!  So I limped all the way back to the school.  But It will get better. hopefully... :)  400's were quite toasty on the track.  Weights and plyos were super fun. :P

AM-  Super fun.  I got to run with Kaelie and Aubrie.  200's were awesome!

PM- I felt really good on this run!  Instead of getting in the pond, I went on with Maquel and Coach.  Than at the end, I ran with the boys. :)  That made me feel good, because it made me feel fast.

AM- Easy 3.  Matt had WAY too much energy!  I can see why the boys get annoyed with him on morning runs. :)

PM- I felt supa' awesome!  I kept daring myself to push harder, and I did it! :)  But my start was horrible... as coach said. :But I made up for lost time and passed a whole bunch of people.  I really liked this course, it seemed fast for me.  Overall, I think this race was great!

I couldn't move my legs this morning....  and when we started to do the workout, that's when  my legs felt numb.  I kinda got a weird headache thing too.  But the workout went by really fast.  IT WAS SO COLD!  I bet the people there could tell that we were from St. G. :)  They prolly thought we were wimps.  I was so glad we made it to the race right when the girls started, so we can cheer our guts out. (not for reals...)  We have the best XC team EVER!  I love our team! :D

AM- I felt better on this workout than the one we did a couple weeks ago.  I drank tons more water, so I was wasn't supa' dehydrated.  I was not really pushing myself on the 30 sec. and the 800's, cuz I was so scared for the 1000's, but those weren't bad at all!  I loved how Erin ran with us!  It was a blast!  

PM-  Easy (?) 3 to green springs.  It was hard on the way there, but on the way back, I started talkin' to coach, and I went faster!  Hill sprints and 100's are the best.  I think they are my favorite add on to our runs. :)  Weights were awesome.

AM- A STANDARD!!!! I AM SUPA' EXCITED!  This is like mine and Taylor's dream come true!  I felt great through out the whole thing!  We should do Michigans on the track all the time! :)

PM- Easy 3.  But during the run, a huge tiger came out and attacked me so I decided to wrestle it to save the rest of the girls (and Roberts).  I defeated it, but I have a few battle scars.  It was pretty epic.  400's were awesome.

AM- Easy 3, supa' fun. :)

PM- I don't know what to think about this race...  I guess I did alright...   I improved 1 minute from last time, that's good.  My start was awful, again!  I need to not be so friendly at the beginning!  I just let people go in front of me!  But I end up passing them during the race.  My knees didn't bother me at all while racing, but there was a huge knot in my calf that I couldn't stop thinking about in the race.  Plus I kept on thinking that my legs are tired, so I just slowed down at that point.  I tried to sprint at the end, but it felt like I wasn't even going that fast.  On the plus side, no one passed me at the end. :)  Yeah for being 3rd!!!  And 2nd!!  And 1st!!!!  And 7th!!!!  I love our team!  We are the best!

I woke up at 7 this morning I ran around my neighborhood.  It was awesome.  I am glad I got my run done before it got really hot.  Washing cars was the best! :)
