Fun 3 miles, my legs are sore....  This is pathetic.

Was that supposed to be a 'fun trail'?

Ahh! My legs are so sore from yesterday's run!  And this run just made it worse!!  Still it was a fun run.  I ran with Taylor B. and Kaelie G. :)  Super fun, fun, fun.

Kaelie and I met at the school this morning at 8:30.  We decided to do the church run (the one after hot nails).  I didn't feel that fantastic....  But it was a great run. : )

Wow, I haven't ran 5 miles in a long time.....  I feel great!!  I was super late with Taylor Boyer, so you guys left without us.  But it was a good 'bonding' experience with her. : )  It was a fun Target run.  I was about to only run 4 miles, but then when we got to Starbucks, Taylor said, "Do you just want to go 5?"  I said, "Sure, I feel great."  Fun, fun, run.

Ahh!  Level 3!  I swear just yesterday I became Level 2!  Taylor and I kept up with the Varsity girls for the first 3 miles, then we kind of fell behind.  But at the last 3/4 of a mile, I started to speed up and I lead the pack!  And Kaylee caught up to me and we ran together.  At the very end Rachel started to speed up and caught up to us and she said, "See ya'!"  Then Kaylee and I started to speed up even more and Rachel fell behind.  It was fantastic. : )

This run was about as fun as yesterday's run.  I still was the first one back.  Fun, fun, run. : )

Ow............  I think I like broke my ankle or something...  I am just kidding, it just felt that way on the trail.  I vote we never do that trail again.  Not because it was cruddy, because Taylor, Kaelie, and I got lost on the run.  But good thing there was a guy who told us where Green Springs was.  Super fun trail, it was better than the last one.

Taylor and I kinda' took it slow today (pretty much I "normal" pace, before we became level 3.)  It was nice.  But JP almost threw up...  That was one of the reasons we fell behind.  

Fun, fun, little run.  Taylor and I had to take a potty brake, so we got a little behind the Varsity girls. :) 

It was a fun run with the Varsity Girls.  I stayed up with the front of the pack.  Super fun.

That hill was super hard.  Oh well, hills will make me stronger.  Going down hill was scary, because if you slipped, you fall down to your death.  But I made it!  That run was fun. :)

We did the Green Springs run.  It was actually super exciting.  Taylor and I had a blast. :)  I love running in the rain.

Well, I almost died.  But it was fantastic. : )  Love runnin' with Varsity.  I vote never doing that trail again....  Well, maybe.

Taylor and I got there late, so we ran the 5 miles alone.  Super fun!! We did the Green Springs run.

Taylor and I were left at the school, so we just ran 4 to Starbucks. It was fantastic.

I am super sorry, Coach, that I got there way late..... I am going to come to Practice on time (or maybe even early) for the rest of the season.  Any way, it was a super fun 6 miles.  Got to love it.  :)

Man, I just love running.  In the middle of our run, Jared joined us and all the girls went Jared pace, so Taylor and I kinda fell back, but not too far back. : ) Fun, fun, run.

Oh my goodness.... That is super far, in fact that is the farthest I ran ever....  It was fantastic!!  I stayed with the Varsity girls the whole time!!! : )  I love running fast, it feels good.

Super fun 5 mile run.  It was great that the level 2's could run with us.  I felt great.  I love doing striders.  They make me feel fantastic.  Gotta love weights. 

I "ran" (he he more like jogged) the mile in P.E. today.  This trail run was the most fun trail run we've ever had.  It was fantastic.  I felt great.  I fell a little behind at the last half mile.  Other than that, it was awesome!  Thanks for pushing me Coach Roberts!

Is there any such thing as an "easy four"any more?  I haven't ran just four miles in a LONG time!  Anyway, super fun run.  I kinda fell back from the Varsity Girls, and ran with Kaelie.  It was way awesome!  I love running!  It makes me happy. : )

Man, this was not my day!  I had a super bad stomach ache, and every time I ran fast I felt even worse!  The 2 Mile Tempo didn't really work, because I couldn't run fast.  I just didn't feel good.  Other than that... FANTASTIC!!! ; )

Nice and easy 6, wait, 6 miles isn't easy!!  It was a great run.  I love running fast. :)

Sorry I was a little late, I had to go to the locker room to do stuff.  Fun 6 miles.  Taylor and I had a little potty break in the middle.  Super awesome! : )

Wow, that trail was pretty confusing.  I kinda fell behind so  I had no idea of where I was.  But then I saw the guys running and I knew I was going the right way.  But when I found the girls, we got super lost.  But it was a fun adventure.

It was a nice 8 mile run.  Except that I was sick.  I think Kaelie is almost a level 3, because she ran 8 miles with me and Taylor.  Again, we stopped for a potty break.  Nice and relaxing. :)

Hey!  I did my Saturday run!!  I did the little 5k this morning, then my dad kicked me out of the car 3 miles away from my home.  I took it super easy, it was nice.  I felt good.

Well, hills are much harder when you are with crazy varsity runners.  But I felt good.  It was fantastic!!  I mostly ran with Taylor Boyer though. (we fell behind a little)  This run was great. : )

Super fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I love running with Taylor, it's great bondin' time. :)  Like always, we fell a little behind, but hey, we will get better.  We had a little potty/drink break near the end.  Happy Valentine's Day!  (more like single awareness day, he he) :)

What the?! Only a 5 mile run? What is this?!  It was a fantastic run.  Taylor and I actually stayed with the Varsity Girls the whole time!  Woo hoo!

Super fun six miles. The Taleah Trail is way confusing but awesome! I can't wait to race it! :)

This trail was one of the funnest/prettiest trails we've done.  And, of course, Taylor and I kinda fell behind, but it was nice to enjoy the scenery.  It  was super pretty.  Thanks to Coach Roberts for waiting for me and Taylor.  We caught up to the girls and they had a water bottle in there hand and said they found it on the ground.  But we all drank out of it.  Kinda gross but we would of all died of thirst if we didn't (well I don't know if I was going to die, but I was close).  Trail runs are the best! :)

What the crud!  10 miles!  That's crazy!  The Taleah 5k race was super fun and exciting!  It was great to see tons of people there!  I did my 7 mile run at 12:30 and finished at 2:10.  It was a fantastic 7 mile run.  I felt super good.  Atleast I don't have to run tomorrow! :)  I love running!

I have no idea how far that run was.  But it was great that I only had to do the level 2 boy's workout.  They only thing that was bad is that I couldn't breath well, other than that, FANTASTIC! :)

I actually stayed with the Varsity! :)  It was painful, but worth it!  I love running.  I can't wait for the time trial tomorrow!  Woo hoo! 

Well this was fantastic!  I think I did great.  I felt awesome!  (well most of the time I felt like I was going to die)  :)  I love the rush of races!

Super fun 6 miles! :)  I stayed with the varsity almost the time!

I wasn't that fantastic today, but I stayed with the varsity for some of it! :)  I am a little sore from running yesterday (at least I think it was from yesterday)  I don't see why I would be sore from 6 miles, but oh well!

Well, that was fantastic.  I about died of thirst though.  I took it super easy.  It was nice!  I am glad I didn't have to run the half marathon.  Running is the greatest!

It was super nice.  Taylor and I had to go to the bathroom so we fell behind.  Striders were kinda' awkward because it was just Taylor and me, alone, with the soccer boys.  I love being level tres. :) 

It was a super nice and exciting six miles.  I ran with Little Taylor Boyer.  It was fun.

Ow, that was pretty painful.  But it was a good experience.  Taylor and I tried, and succeeded, to think positive all through out hills.  Thinking positive helps a lot!  It was great!

It was super great today!  Taylor and I actually stayed with the varsity the whole time!  Weights were super fun!  It was a great run.

It was fantastic!  I am a little sore from yesterday though. :P  I felt great.

Ow...  That was a painful run.  It just wasn't my day, I couldn't breath at all (well, at least it felt that way).  On the last 200 we did, I almost past out.  But on the way back, I felt so much better!  But still a little light headed...  Ah, well.  Hills make me stronger. :)

What the!  4 miles!  What is this?  That's super fantastic!  Thanks Coach for this awesome run!  Striders were great,  Taylor and I had a grand time. :)

Ok, here is the story of the 10 miles, when Taylor and I only had to go 9 miles.  Frida put her jacket on the fence to pick up on the way back before we started our tempo.  Then we started our 30 minutes.  We were doing good, then Taylor and I kinda' fell behind, but that's ok, because Coach Holt gives fantastic directions!  (he he, not!)  So we get back from around the mountain, and Frida's coat is still on the fence, so Taylor and I thought, "Well crud!  We did a wrong turn! And now we are ahead of the girls."  So we decided to run an extra mile more, thinking that's how much we cut off.  But when we finished our extra mile, Frida's jacket was still there, so we then started to think that Frida forgot her jacket.  Turns out she did....  so Taylor did that extra mile for nothing!  The end! :)

This run was fantastic!  I got my braces off!! Woo hoo!  Right before our first track meet, maybe it will make me faster. :)  I am super excited for the meet tomorrow! :D

This was a fantastic race!  I felt really good.  I know, it was a stupid mistake to not bring a jacket.  I will bring one next time.  I think I ran those races hard and strong. (I am only going to put the mile race on right now, I will put the 2 mile on the 10th)

I felt supa' great/strong.  I loved today's race. (the race was on the 9th, but I couldn't put this time on it)

Today's actual run:

I went and ran with Bryan and Timmy at Dixie College on the track.  I only ran 3 miles, but, hey, that's better than nothing.... Man, I hurt from yesterday!

I felt super great!  Well, I did take that run way easy.... It took me 44 minutes......  I used my Garmin!  This watch is the best! :D

Well, I went on a super fun hike in Snow Canyon....  It was great, except for the fact that we got lost.  I know I didn't run, but hey, it's some form of physical exercise!

Ow....  That's the worst run to do right after not running for a week... Stupid mistake.  I think Taylor Boyer is now my goal in speed workouts.  She is always in front of me!  I still do like speed workouts, just because they go by supa' quick.  I'm prolly going to be sore tomorrow.  I will stretch a ton tonight. :)

I am kinda limping from yesterday.... I hurt.. a lot.  We ran to the church past the hospital, which is great, because we didn't have to run up that awful hill.  Our grass is supa' crappy.  There is a ton of stickers and thorns.  It is fun to run with Taylor Boyer because she pushes me when we run.  Taylor is awesome. :D

Well that was prolly the crapiest run I have ever had.  I wasn't sore from last speed workout, but I did something to my hip and that was hurting me during the whole workout.  In fact, it hurt every time I tried to go fast, that is why I was super slow.  I was way sad that Taylor wasn't there to run that workout with me, because Taylor pushes me to go faster.  Ah, well... I will do better next time.

Well, this run was supa' great.  Thank you coach for not killing Taylor and me today!  Taylor and I did really strong intervals, I felt way great while running fast.  I loved today's run!

 I did a morning run!

Wow.. That was the greatest run ever.  I actually got to run with Kaelie G. again!  It was super great! :D  I hurt a little from yesterday, again, not because I am sore, it's right under my hip that is hurting.  Running with my buddy Kaelie again is the best thing ever!

Morning run, woo hoo!

I felt great on this run today, my hip doesn't hurt any more!  That's good news for the race tomorrow!  The 4 200's were fast and awesome! :D

Arctic Circle runs are the best!

This wasn't my best race, well at least this didn't feel like my best race.  I don't remember what time I got last time.  Next time I rant the 2 mile I will sub 13.  Man, it was super hot!  I am not used to running the 2 mile in that extreme of heat!  I can't wait to run the 1 mile next week!

This was a super nice run.  I figured out why I don't move as fast as I want to in meets, it's because I do not lift up my feet.  In striders, I tried lifting up my feet, and it made me so much faster!  I can't wait for the meet this Thursday! :D

Well, this was the greatest speed work out ever.  I felt really good, especially on the 300.  It was awesome.  I stuck with the times for the most part.  I loved today's workout! :)

Well, this run was great.  Frida, Kaelie, and I decided to not get into the lake, so we went on without the other girls.  I felt super good on the 200's.  I don't know if I should be nervous or excited for the race tomorrow.  I am a little scared to do the 800.  I don't know how to pace myslef!  I guess I will just see how it goes.

I didn't get sub 6 minutes, but I think is was the wind that slowed me down.  But hey, I stayed right behind Mia the whole time.  It was great.

I beat my time from last year! (3:06)  Just think if there wasn't any wind.... 

Today's actual run:

Kaelie and I ran at the school this morning at 8.  It was great, I just couldn't move my legs fast, they felt really heavy.

Wow, 5 miles is way better than 7 miles!  I ran with Kaelie G. at the high school this morning.  It was a great/fun run! :D

I don't know why, but I feel like I have more energy after school, than in the morning.  Anyway, Kaelie and I met up at the school this morning at 8.  It was super nice weather.  Steps and plyos were way tiring.  It was fun.

MORNING PRACTICE!

Well, it was a super hard run today.  It was HOT!  Man, I need to drink more water!  On my first and last 800 were good, all the rest in the middle were too slow....  I am a little nervous about the 400's tomorrow.  I hope I can do better.

This run was FANTASTIC!  I stayed right behind JP the whole time.  Except for the 5th one, when she didn't run with us.... I went way too fast.  I felt super strong the whole workout.  I also hit my time every 400.  This run was way better than yesterday's!

I love running at 6 in the morning!

I actually stayed up with the Varsity girls the whole time.  It was a little harder.  The 200's were fun.  Ah!  I am super nervous for the race in Cedar tomorrow!  Why did you put me in the 800, Coach?!

Morning practice was great!

I am not sure what my time was (I guessed) .... I hope I can figure out soon.  I felt pretty good.  I couldn't feel my legs or arms through out the last 2 laps.  I actually stayed behind Mia the whole time! It was so cold!

Once again, I guessed what my time was.  I felt pretty strong through out the race.  It was pretty cool when the girls in front of me started to slow down so I could pass them.  I didn't know how to pace myself, because no one else from Pine View was in that race...  Thanks for signing me up for the 800, Coach.  I actually like that race.

I love doing 400's for speed workouts!  Taylor did pretty good for hitting our times...  except for the 2nd 3rd and 4th one...  We were a little slow.  Other than that, we did fantastic! :D  I love running!

I love morning runs!

Well, today was super hot!  I felt okay on this run.  I fell behind a little, but not too far.  I just felt tired.  Striders were awesome, though!

This time wasn't my real time, I just had to make up a time to post this entry.

Well, I just love Panther Relays!  I felt strong and great! :D  I wish there were more races like this one.

Once again, I made up this time to post this entry.

Today's Actual run:

I didn't have much energy today...  Especially on the 200's.  But it was awesome!

I know I was supposed to run 5 miles.... but I wanted to support the team and cheer for the people who were racing.  So I had to stop running....  I am a little nervous for the 3200 tomorrow! :P

The race on Saturday.. (400)

I guessed what my time was in the 400... But I bet I am pretty close.  Well, this is the hardest race EVER!  I felt like I was going to pass out, but I didn't. :D

Wow, this was the greatest race ever!  I went speedy fast!  I stayed pretty close behind Mia the whole time!  I felt super strong too.  (Coach, was that my time?  I don't remember....)

I'll post my 400 time on the 20th (Friday).

I am SO close to breaking 6! AH!  Come on, already!

I think this was a pretty good race....

I want to break 6 so bad!  I only have one more race to do it!

Wow, this workout was HARD....  It was super hot!  I only hit my time on the 2nd 200 and the last 300.  I felt pretty cruddy today.  But if it helps me break 6 in the mile, I will do what ever it takes....

This run was the greatest.  At first Kaele G., Taylor and I ran with Byron and Colton, which is always fun.  Then we went to the river and jumped in.  We did striders at the park right by the river, then jumped in the river again.  It was super fun! :D

I liked this workout, it was hard, but I did it pretty good.  I only didn't hit my time on the 2nd 200, and the 1st 400.  All the other ones I hit times faster than I was supposed to.  It was awesome.... I love finishing strong! (the last 400)

Wait, 3 miles?!  Did I hear that right?  This was the greatest run EVER!  Striders were super hot though... it almost gave me blisters, but good thing Kaelie and I put on our socks.  I loved today's run! :D

I guessed completely on how far we ran today....  It was SO hard!  I think that was the hardest speed workout we've done in a long time.  I thought the toughest part was when the person behind you passed you, you had to stop.  It just wasn't my run today.  I coudn't breath AT ALL!  Plus I almost passed out.  But oh well, it will help with breaking 6 in the mile! :D

Woo hoo! :)

Um, yeah.... I do not know my time exactly, but I guess this was close.... Good solid race.

Oh my goodness!  I am the JV Regions champ!!!!!  I am speedy.  This was my best mental race too.  I loved today's race! :D WOO HOO!!!!  I BROKE 6!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT I GOT LIKE AN 8 SECOND P.R.!!!!!!!!!  This is the greatest race ever! :D

(I'll put my 2 mile stuff on Friday...)

WOO HOO!  I love running! :D  Wait... does this mean we won't race again until XC?  Well, shoot!

Well, this was the saddest 3 miles I've ran in a long time.   It took me 33 minutes and 17 seconds...  My knees kinda' hurt too, but I guess that they hurt every time I don't run for a while then start running again.  And Coach, I won't be at summer practice until Thursday (Youth Conference).

I can tell I haven't ran for a while.  It felt like I raced those three miles today.  I guess it will get easier.  I ran with Maquel for the first mile, then she stopped, so I ran by myself for the last 2 miles.  It was great!  I love summer practice! :)

It was a super nice run.  I stayed up with Rachel and JP for most of the run, I kinda fell behind at the ending.  But it will get easier. :)

Eating right before a run = (equals) no bueno.  I felt complete sick the whole run and had bad cramps.  This 3 miles took me 34 minutes and 28 seconds.  That's super sad.....  I learned my lesson to not eat right before I run.  Yeah.... never doing that again.... I still feel sick. I love running! :)

I'm sorry I couldn't go 4 miles.  I don't know what my deal was today, I was probably dehydrated...  I will drink more water and run 4 miles tomorrow.  Yeah Kids club is tommorow! Woo hoo! :D

I ran 4 miles! I ran with Kaelie and Megan. It was way fun. Kids Club was the greatest! All the little girls are so cute!

I ran with Kaelie G., Kaylee B. (did I spell her name right?), Megan, and Coach Roberts.  It was hard to keep up with them, but I did it!  I feel great..... Though I might feel sore for tomorrow.  :)  I can't wait for XC camp!

I love grass runs.  I ran with Kaylee B., Kaelie G., Coach Roberts, Aubrey, Megan, and Mariah.  It was fun.  I don't know why, but it felt like I had no energy.....  It could be because of the run yesterday.... But I don't know.  Woo hoo!  Summer Practice!:D

I love the grass at Pine View Park!  This run was great.  I ran with Coach Roberts and Kaelie G.  It was a party!  Maquel and Chancie stayed with us for a half a mile, but then they turned back.  I love running at Pine View Park.... We need to run there again.  Hopefully there won't be a dead cat on the road when we run there again. :)

I ran with my dad again.  He's gotten a lot faster.... So I can bearly keep up with him....  And of course I had to go to the bathroom.  But thankfully we ran by some construction and there was a porta-potty there, so I just went to the bathroom there.  After that, I kinda went my own pace, so of course my dad went way ahead of me.  I love running! :D

I really liked today's run.  I ran with Kaelie G., and Taylor Boyer.  But, Taylor Boyer turned around at three miles, so I just ran with Kaelie.  It was a party and a half (quoting Susan).  I didn't really mind that hill, I felt pretty good going up it.  It was great!

Today's run was awesome!  Kaelie and I kept up with the Varsity Girls!  Thanks Rachel for "tying your shoes". :)  I told Kaelie that if she stays with me in running, she will have a really good chance to be on varsity.... but she says she doesn't like the spandex shorts... oh well, it's just one of the things you have to bare through to be on varsity. :D  Kids Club was super fun!  Jason (my little brother) got 4th out of everybody in his race.  I am very proud.  Summer Practice is the best!

Well, I hurt a lot.  It's been a while since the last time I ran 5 miles straight.  It was awesome!  We got lost on the run, so we guessed where to turn around. Taylor and I kinda fell behind... but not too much.  Yeah, I am going to be super sore tomorrow!  Atleast it's a grass run. (and only 4 miles) :D

I ran with Kaylee, Kaelie, Coach Roberts, Megan, Aubrey, and Maquel.  It was super nice.  I love grass runs!  They are the greatest.  I am sore from yesterday.  Ew... we have 6 miles to run tomorrow.....  Aw well, if it makes me a better runner, I will do it.  If my legs are sore after 5 miles, I wonder how they would be after 6 miles...

Well.... That run was awesome!  The hill was for sure easier than it looked.  But I felt great going up it.  Then after that hill, it was all down hill!  (except for the very ending)  I am most like going to be very sore tomorrow, but I stretched a lot.  I loved that run, we should do it again sometime. :D

Ahh!  4 miles!  Ok... I did NOT do that on purpose!  When I was almost home, my garmin said that I had 1 more mile left.  So I decided to take the long way home, but the long way home turned out to be 2 miles, not just one.  I hope that doesn't hurt me too bad.  But the weather was nice.  (except for the very ending... that's when it got REALLY hot!)

Ok... Today's run seemed a little harder than the 5 last week.  It was SO hot!  Kaelie and I were going to die!  When we were almost done with that hill, we started to speed up, because, we were just super excited.  But that made me so super tired... so we took it easy for a little bit of the run.  Kaelie and I ran with Taylor Monett. (Is that how you spell is last name?)  Anyway... He is a way good runner, I mean if he kept up with me and Kaelie, he has to be fast!  I need to drink more water....  expecially since it's going to get hotter and hotter.  I love summer practice! :D

It was a super nice run.  Kaelie and I stayed up with Coach Roberts, Rachel, and Kaylee the whole time!  Rachel didn't have to "tie" her shoes this time! :)  It was hard, but we did it!  Coach forgot to time our first dirt mile, but the second one we got 8:18 ( I really don't know... but it was 8 something...)  I love kids club, it's the greatest!

I didn't feel that great today..... I kinda' had a headache and a stomachache.  But when we passed Erin, that's when I fell behind the most.  But she said to keep on going, so I began to think that I shouldn't be falling behind.  And I pushed myself to catch up to the girls, and I did!  It was awesome, but supah' hard.  I think I'm just way dehydrated.  I need to drink more water.  Thanks Erin!  (sorry if I spelled your name wrong)

Today's run was way better than yesterday's!  I think it's because I drank more water yesterday.  Drinking water really makes a difference!  But I still think I am no drinking enough.  But after running the 4 miles, my hip started to hurt... not a sideache though.... It just hurts.  Then after striders, it hurt even more.  But now, I can bearly walk.  I am limping so bad.  What can I do to help it feel better?

Before I ran today, my hip didn't hurt at all... but right when I started running, it began to hurt again.  Then it started to go away near the end of the run.  Now the pain starting to come back again.  I am going to stretch like crazy.  It was a super nice run.  I about broke my ankle 15+ times.  That was a party.  Coach Roberts was running with Stoner and Mia, but then he decided to be nice and wait for Aubrey and me.  Aubrey is really improving so much!  It was super nice weather today.  But I still need to drink more water.  I need to work on that...  Yeah!  Tomorrow is only 4 miles!

That hill workout wasn't that bad at all.  On the way back up the hill, Aubrey and I kinda fell behind, but not too much.  Mia and Coach stopped on the top of the hill so we can catch up.  Today's run was nice.

It was a super nice run today.  I kept up with Rachel and Coach Roberts. (for the most part, I fell behind a little... but I caught up :D)  Aubrey ran with us too.  She is getting way good.  She is super speedy.  Kid's Club was a blast.  We did a Relay Race and the kids loved it!  I'm sad we are not running as a team tomorrow....  Running with the team is the highlight of my day.  Oh well, gives me something to look forward to on Thursday.  Yeah, the 4th of July!  Time to celebrate! :) (tomorrow)

I am never going to fall behind again.  That was super hard to catch up... it felt like I was racing today's run until I caught up.  At first I was running with Taylor and Mariah, then I began to think, "I am going to take today's run super easy."  But then another thought came to my head saying, "Wait this isn't Varsity thinking!"  So I said to Mariah and Taylor that I am going to catch up to Aubrey, Mia, and Rachel.  Taylor said, "Have fun with that, cause' we're not."  And guess what?!  I did have fun with that!  I finally caught up to the girls on the third lap on the grass.  That was  the hardest thing I've done in a long time.  And then we had to run more than we thought we had to.  But I had an awesome time!  I feel great!  Oh yeah, and Coach, we were supposed to run 4 miles w/ striders- 5 miles total.

This run was great!  I ran with Aubrey most of the run, since Coach and Rachel are speedy.  Aubrey is a great running buddy.  That hill was awesome.  Nice weather too.

Super nice weather (I woke up at 6:30 this morning to run, so it wasn't hot yet).  I saw a bunch of chickens and one rooster on my run.... I say that was the highlight of my day.  They were awesome.  I am super sad I won't run with the team until High Altitude camp.  I will try to convince myself to run in Canada.  (but if I do run in Canada, they will be way short (2-3 miles)) 

I ran in Canada!  It was way cool.  The weather felt super nice.  I ran with my dad, I actually kept up with him (he prolly slowed down a bunch).  I felt really good.  We ran right by the beach and saw a huge starfish.  That was super great.  Turns out I am going to be back Thursday.

A.M.- It's super sad that I was dieing (did I spell that right?) on a 3 mile run.... but I'll get back into it.  Striders were nice.  I think I did those pretty strong.  Woo hoo!  We have an afternoon run!!!  Gotta drink lots of water!

P.M.- Super nice..... The weather wasn't that hot (well, as hot as I thought it would be).  I ran with Nicole pretty much the whole run.  It was awesome!  Weights were tough, I hope they get easier soon.  My legs/arms are going to be sore tomorrow.  Yeah for hills! (tomorrow)

Man, today's run was hard....  But I kept up with the group this time, but about died.  Going down the other side of the hill was just as difficult as going up the other side (the one we did the workout on).  That grass is SUPER thick!  I could bearly move my feet.  I guess that means I have to lift my knees more.  Well, I love running! :D

I didn't have my Garmin this morning, so I did a run that we said was three miles.  I sure hope it was or close to it... It felt like a 3 mile run so.... yeah.  It felt like I had a strong pace, but I wouldn't know, because no one was pacing me.  It took me about 30 minutes to run the whole thing.  The weather was super nice.

Woo hoo!

Yay!

Super nice run.  I love how we can breath now.  We all met up at the High School at 7 this morning.  I ran with Megan and Aubrey.  We went to the Washington Fiealds church.  (by my house).  We did the tempo in the middle, so we didn't have to do it up the 2 hills at the end.  I loved today's run!  It's for sure hotter down here in St. G.

I got up at 7 this morning.  The weather was just warming up, but it wasn't too hot.  I kept a good pace, well I think it was a good pace (10 minute pace).  I know it's slow, but I take easy runs seriously.  I saw Maquel and her mom on a run this morning too.  That was awesome that we decided to take on the same run.  I hope everybody else did their Saturday run, so that they can go to Heaven. :) 

Man, today's run really tired me.  It was super hard too.  I kinda fell behind for most of it.  That run was like a tempo, hill, and distance run all combined.  Yeah, it was pretty difficult.  Starting our tempo is what got me the most.  I got super bad cramps, than after that, my stomach started hurting, then my back began to hurt.  But it was a good hard run, it will make me stronger.  Yeah, for afternoon runs!!!!

PM-  Super great.... I felt so much better on this run than this morning's run!  I felt awesome!  Lifting weights were the best!

I felt super sore from yesterday....  I think I am going to stretch and ice.....  I stayed up with the varsity for only the dirt mile.  But I guess it's better than what I did yesterday.  Kids club was super great!  All the little girls love me!  (well at least I hope they do)  They raced really well.  Jason, once again, was in the top 5!  I am so proud of him.  I hope tomorrow's run is better than the last 2 days.  I love running! :)

This workout was hard, but I did it!!!  I kept up with Varsity!  I felt good on this run.  It felt like I had a good strong pace through out the whole workout.  It was awesome!  I stretched with Little Taylor Boyer after, that hurt so good.  I should prolly ice and stretch some more today.

What the?!  3 miles?!  That's the greatest ever!  Felt super great!  The weather is a little warmer today, so the afternoon run should be fun.  Striders were fantastic. 

PM- I took this 3 nice and easy with Little Taylor Boyer.  It is SO hot!  The other girls that were in front of us stopped at Arctic Circle, but Taylor and I decided not to stop.  So we made it back before the other girls.  That made me feel great.  Weights were a blast.

Today's run was super hard!  I did pretty good on the 30 second ones, but when we started to do the minute ones, I started too fall behind.  I have got to think more positive!  My best minute one was the last one, because I kept up with Rachel for most of it.  She is a really good pacer for hills. (except when goes and kills it :D)  The laps on the grass were good, I kept up with Varsity.  Yeah!!! Tomorrow is a super easy run!  Hopefully that helps me, since this whole week was super hard....

It turned out that Taylor couldn't run with me this morning....  So I ran by myself.  It was nice, I hope that next week won't be as tiring as this week.  This week's workouts were super hard, except for today.  I took it easy, this 3 miles took me 34 minutes.  I love running!

I felt so much better than last week, but I was still was super beat up from this run.  I was able to keep a steady tempo pace.  I ran tempo with Nicole.  We stopped at got a little drink at the Fire Station.

PM- Super nice... I ran with Kaelie!  For the first time in a month!  It was awesome.  She paced me really good, because she kept up with the Varsity girls, and I wanted to run with her, so I unded up running with the Varsity girls too.  Weights were great!  I can't wait for the race on Wednesday.

I felt good on this run.  I kept up with Varsity the whole time!  I felt way better than yesterday, in fact Coach told me that I ran the dirt mile faster than my tempo yesterday.  Even though I was supposed to go faster on tempo, but hey, I didn't run 4 miles before running on the dirt mile.

PM-  Kaelie and I met up at the school at 3 and run to Arctic Circle and back.  It's hot!  I can't see how we are going to do workouts in that heat!

I ran with Kaelie, Nicole, Megan, and Coach.  It was super nice and easy.  I felt pretty good on this run. 

PM-  Nice first race.  I felt strong.  I just got to get back into the groove of racing.  But hey, I think it was good for "not a big deal" race.  I think that this is my PR or atleast close to it.

I felt beat up from the race yesterday.  But we did the workout!  I feel good about our pace and stuff.  We all pushed eachother on all the hills.  My 30 second ones were way better than my 1 minute ones.  I think it's just all mental....  I got to think positive on the minute hills.  We stopped for a drink/potty break while coming back from hills.  After our run, we all got into Megan's car and drove to the Washington Rec Center.  That was a blast.

PM-  I felt really good on today's afternoon run.  I loved the weather, it was perfect!  That meeting thing at the Running Center was super fun!  I learned a lot of important things for races!  The pizza was great too :).

I felt super great on this run!  The sun decided to be shy and hide behind some clouds, so the weather was super nice!  On the way to the half way point, I ran with Sally, Sarah, and Preston.  And on the way back, I ran with the same people plus Coach and Nicole.  It was a nice run.

Megan, Nicole, Alyssa, and I met up at the park by Fossil Ridge at 7 this morning.  It was a super nice run. We took it supah' easy.  I say the highlight of this run was running on a bridge, that was cool.

I felt good on the way out, but on the way back, I started to feel really tired/thirsty.  I ran with Kaelie on the way to the halfway point, and on the way back I ran with Megan and Taylor.  We stopped at the park to get a drink and to go to the bathroom.  I decided to stay at the school until 10 to get my locker.  That was a blast.  So I was super starving until my mom picked me up and took me to Costco.  That is where I got a berry smoothie and a churro for breakfast.(I know, super healthy breakfast) :P

PM- I felt really good on this run.  I didn't think it was too hot either, or maybe I am going insane, because everybody else was melting in this heat.  I getting in bad habits of not drinking water again.  I am going to die if I don't drink water when we do hard afternoon runs.  Weights were great.

I felt alright during the 1000s, but it was in between when I felt ucky.  My first was too fast, I got 3:58, 2nd I got 4:06, 3rd I got 4:07, 4th (the slowest/hardest one) I got 4:16, 5th I pushed myself the hardest so I got 4:06 again.  After the workout, I got super light headed.  Yesterday my head kinda felt weird the whole day too, I had a headache and I couldn't think straight at all.  The heat is getting to me.  I think the reason I felt light headed today, is because of how I felt yesterday.  I hope it doesn't get worse.  I prolly just need to drink more water.  Coach, should I skip today's afternoon run to see how I feel?

I ran with JP, Stoner, Mia, and Aubrey this morning.  I felt pretty good through out the whole workout, but I think I could have pushed more than I did.  The last 400 was my best mental one, therefore my best physical one.  Every single one (except the last one) I was about 10 seconds behind JP, Stoner, and Mia, but on the last 400 I was up with them.  That boosted my self esteem :).  I like doing the hard workouts in the morning.

PM-  Easy 3 to Green Springs.  Man!  It is hot hot hot!!  I figured out I did not drink enough water today.  I have got to do better.  School was fun.

Easy 3 this morning.  It was great!

PM- I felt really good on this 3 mile run.  It was toasty today!  But I drank more water :).  Striders were great too.  Jumps were awesome.

AM- I felt alright this morning, it's just that I am a little sore from yesterday (I think because of plyos).  I am super glad I did the 200's this morning instead of this afternoon.:)

I felt super tired and sore on this run.  I need to go to bed a little ealier than what I did last night.  It wasn't even that late, it was about 11 pm, but I guess I need to go to bed ealier than that.  And then Coach wanted me to say the line I said at XC camp in my skit.  I guess I will say it now, for you Coach.... (picture me in my Southern Accent)  After days and days of playing checkers, Kyler and Hobbes were the finalists.  I am going to stretch and roll out my legs tonight to get ready for the race... AHH!  I am super nervous to run Varsity!  But I guess I am ready for this.  It will be a good experience.

Well, I wouldn't call this my best race...  I was way nervous to run with the super fast people today.  Right when we first started I kinda had a little stomach ache because of how nervous I was.  I hope I can push myself harder next week.  But this was my first Varsity race, so I guess I did good.  Now that I know how it feels, I might be able to pace myself better.  I kept on settling!  I got to work on that.   I want to keep up with Mia next race, but I just got to think it in order to do it.  Overall, this race was alright.

AM-  I did pretty good on today's speed workout.  I stayed up with Mia 3 out of the 5 times! (which is more than usual, so I'm improving!)  I felt super great, until the 4th one...  That's when my stomach started to hurt.  That wasn't fun.  I think that was the hardest I pushed myself in a long time.  My stomach didn't stop hurting until 2nd period today.  I think this workout was the best one of the season, because I pushed myself harder than I usually do.  It was great!  Next time I will stay with Mia the whole time!:)

PM-  Super fun, relaxing 3 mile run.  This was probably the first run I actually had fun on.  We went to the Sanbergs (the 3 mile way)  It was super great!  All the girls stopped at the the pond and jumped in, except Coach, Kaelie, and I, we decided to keep on going.  On the way back from the pond, I saw jack rabbit!!  That was cool.  I loved today's afternoon run! Weights and stuff were nice, we got done before the boys even got back from their run.  I thought that was great. :D

AM- Easy 3, landed weird on my ankle... again!  (yesterday, on the way back from the pond I landed weird on my ankle, and it started hurting)  I told my mom about it, and she told me to get it wrapped.  So I did.

PM-  My ankle was hurting today for the time trial, so I prolly could have pushed harder than I did...  I need to keep up with Nicole and Mia.  Hopefully my ankle will be better by this weekend.  But atleast I got 4th, so that was cool. :) (p.s. I totally guessed what my time was... I just went off of Nicole's time :P)

AM- I went with JP, Mia, Kaelie, Aubrey, and Taylor on the run this morning.  It wasn't too bad of a run.  Plus, my ankle wasn't hurting too bad.  I found this gel stuff in my bathroom that's supposed to "stop the pain", so I used that .  I figured out it really works!  I think it works better than the tape, plus it's more comfortable.  So I am going to use that instead of the tape now.  I felt really good on this run, I kept up with JP and Mia through out the whole thing, that was good.  And it was completely pouring on us, that was a blast.  I love rain!

PM- Easy 3!  We decided to make up a 3 mile run.  That was really fun to shake it up a little.  We went the way we usually go for Arctic Circle, but when you get out of the neighborhood we went right unstead of going straight, and we went to Harts.  But we figured out that wasn't 3 miles, so we ran in some parking lots until we had enough milage.  That was fun.  Once again, we got rained on! :)

AM- 12 girls this morning!  We are so close to breaking the record!  Tomorrow tons of girls better show up, so we can break the record.  I felt really good on the morning run.  It was great.

PM- I love easy 3's in the afternoon!  I actually had fun on today's run!  I got tons of sticker buddies in my shoe. (I had like 6 or7 just in my right shoe!)  On the way back we did the "Pine View High School, how do you feel?"  cheer.  That was really fun. :)  My ankle started to hurt a little during plyos, but I'm not too worried.  I loved today's run!

AM- I went to morning practice @ 5:45 this morning so that I could run the Trilogy crew.  It was great.  Kaelie decided to come too.  It was a party and a half.  Susan turned around at the 2 mile point so that she could get ready (cuz she gets ready slow?).  It was great.  Kaelie and I were the only ones who did the 200s in that group.  They felt good.

PM- This run was tiring.  I just felt supah' tired (my legs and my brain).  But I was able to keep up, so that's good.  I am SO excited for the first team dinner of the season!  It's gonna be a party!! :)  We are staying up all night! (just kidding, coach)

I did pretty good for this race, that false start was dumb, though.  I felt strong the beginning and the end, middle not so sure if I pushed myself hard enough.  I just got to stop settling!  But atleast we beat Desert Hills! (I'm not typing the other word!)  Plus, I got a faster time than last week!  I'm excited that's the course that region's going to be!  Overall, good race. :)

AM- I felt really tired/sick this morning.  I think it's because I am dehydrated.  So I am going to drink more water.  But my times for these 1000's were faster than last times, so that means I am improving. :)

PM- Really nice easy 3!  We decided to make up our own 3 mile run.  It was really fun, we got to run through the Sandstone Elementry Playground. :)  And we ended up at Kaelie's house, so we took a little break to say hi to her family (plus we got a drink).   Weights and plyos were great.  I love ending before everyone else because the weights and stuff aren't taken up so we could get done faster.  Felt great for today's afternoon run. (this morning, not so much)  I love running! :D

AM- super nice easy 3 this morning.

PM- Man!! It is hot, hot, HOT!  I think I was dehydrated, because I about died on today's run.  And of course, Rachel chooses the run with the most sun! (we went on the shoe run)  This is why I say 'no' to everything that Rachel says! (just kidding)  I had no energy!  Striders were long.... well it felt longer than usual.  Hopefully tomorrow's run will be better. 

AM- I really liked today's morning run... (well, I wouldn't say I liked it.... but it's one of the better workouts we've done)  I kept up with Mia for the 2 minutes, I felt pretty good about that.  On the 400's I kinda fell behind... but atleast I am improving. :)

PM- Easy 3.  We went to Hot Nails.  It was SO hot!  But going to that little river was super fun.  I think it's fun running as a team. *coagh, coagh, Coach!  Great run today.

AM- Nice easy 3.  We got 12 girls out, so we are almost going to brake the record!  Hopefully tomorrow, 2 more girls come!  Jake Parkinson decided to join us this morning, that was a blast.  He ran with us because he came after all the boys left.

PM- We went 3 out to Green Springs.  It was hot, once again...  Striders were nice.  I think the reason for my injuries were because of my shoes, so I switched back to my older ones, and I don't hurt!  It's a mircale!  Weights and plyos were great.  It's finally Friday tomorrow!!!  I can't wait for the Run-a-thon!!!!!!!!  Woo hoo! :D

AM- Easy 3 with 4 200's.

PM- Run-a-thon!  It was a blast!  I was an A so I ran first in my group.  It was toasty on the track!  I ran the workout part of the run with Taylor during the football game.  That was a fun experience.

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! :D 

AM- Easy 3 with striders.  Blast and a half. :)

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- Easy 3 with 4 200's.

PM- Easy 3...  We went to Sandbergs.  It was a blast and a half. :) I got to run with Maquel too!

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. :P  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- Easy 3 with striders.

PM- Easy 3 to Hot Nails.   Supa' fun.  Can't wait for 17 laps of total greatness tomorrow. :)

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 with 4 200's

PM- We went to Sanbergs.  It was exciting.  Can't wait for the race tomorrow. 

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! :) 

AM- I really liked this workout.  I felt really good during the 1 mile repeats.  They were great. :)  200's were alright, I just need to learn to run on my toes!

PM- Easy 3!  Kaelie and I had a great time running by OURSELVES! (coach!)  Hill sprints and 100's were the best, like always.  It was supa' hot today, hopefully it gets cooler soon.  Anyway, figured out my battle wound on my knee is infected, so I put some hydrogen peroxide on it.  Man!  It hurt like a mutha cussa! :P

AM- Easy 3 with striders.  We did striders in between the Baseball and Softball fields.  It was so cold!

PM- Easy 3.  We went on the run the tiger attacked me on.  It was fun.  I was able to lead the pack until the very last stretch of the run.  I felt supa' great!  Prolly.... :D (That was for you, coach)

Sorry... forgot to update my blog for today...

AM- Easy 3 with 200s. Some crazy girl started screaming and chasing us. :)

PM- Easy 3 to Green Springs. It was fun! prolly supa'....

AM- Easy 3.  Did a freshman race with Rachel and won. :)

PM- I felt great!  Except for the fact I couldn't breath and I felt light headed.  The 2nd mile repeat was the best!!!  I kept up with the top 3 girls!!!!!!  I am supER excited!!  (you're welcome, Roberts)  And on all the rest I wasn't too far behind.  After the workout, I was light headed, shaking, and I couldn't breath... so I didn't do the cool down.  I think I would have passed out on the cool down.  I had to lay down on the ground for a little bit and I had to get help to get to my brother's car.  Today's workout was the best!  I wish I knew I had that much in me in the past races!

Taylor and I did the run before any of the runners passed our aid station.  But they did pass us during our run.  That was pretty cool to see.  Taylor and I ate 3 donuts and drank a cup of chocolate milk right before our run.  I wanted to barf.  The fartleks seemed like a good solid pace.  We sped up like a mile before we ended.  My legs felt great, but my stomach didn't feel so awesome.  Atleast I didn't pass out. :)

AM- Easy... just kidding! We ran with the boys! It was super fun! :)

PM- Easy 3 to Sandbergs.

AM- Easy 3.

PM- REGIONS!!!!! I love this course! My legs felt tired the whole time, hopefully I didn't show that when I was racing. :) After my race, my leg hurt so bad!! It's felt that way since Herriman... So Nicole was massaging it on the bus. It hurt.... I wanted to cry. :)

AM- Easy 3.  Did a freshman race with Taylor and won! :)

PM- Easy (?) 4 out to Green Springs.  Ran with the boys for a little bit of it.  Felt really good today.  My leg hurts like none other...  I think Nicole bruised my leg when she was massaging it.... :P

AM- Easy 3.  Feels good to go easy every once and a while.

PM- This workout was awesome!  I felt really good, except the whole time my thigh was hurting....  I need to roll and ice like crazy!  My thigh has been hurting ever since Herriman!  Atleast it's not getting worse...  I loved today's workout!  Running in the rain is the best! :D

AM- Easy 3!  Super fun! :)

PM-  This was a nice run... my leg still has a huge knot....  It hurt while doing the wave hills.  I hope it gets better by state.  Felt great!  Went to Megan's house after and had a party! :)  

( I wish I knew the real milage.... I just went off of what JP said, I know she doesn't know either!!  Cough, cough, COACH!)

Woke up this morning and ran with Kaelie at 7:30.  I hope we were supposed to run 5, because that's how far we ran.  We rolled each other out after.  It hurt so bad!  I never knew my calves were so tight!  Super fun!  I love running with Kaelie! :)

I kinda guessed on the milage.  I added it all up and it said we only ran 2.5 miles... so I decided to make it sound a little better. :)  The 200 things were fun.  My group was totally great!  Getting a little nervous for State. :/

Super fun.  Ran with Megan Finch, Nicole, and Taylor.  Striders were great.

I really loved this course!  My favorite part was the big hill.  That's when I passed a lot of girls!  I felt great!  The only part that girls passed me was at the end...  I need to work on that.  But overall, this race was awesome!  I like racing at State way more than cheering at State.  I'm glad we had so many cheerers, because I know I couldn't have gotten the time I got without them. :)  I love our team!  We are the best!

I thought today was just going to be an easy 3... Nope!  We had to do Sunrise hills!  My legs felt like jello!!  My first one was alright, but than the it all went down-hill from there.  But on the very last hill we did, coach started to push me, and that reminded me that I can go fast!  So I pushed it super hard on the last part.. (thanks, Coach!)  Now I know I have so much more in me than I think...

AM- easy 3.

PM- We went out to green springs.  I felt great on the way there.. just on the way back is when I started getting tired.  So I ran with Aubrey.  It was super fun!  But when we were almost back to the high school, I landed on my foot weird, and sprained my ankle!  Why do I do this to myself?  So we walked for about 100 meters and ran/limped the rest of the way back.  I love running! :)

AM- Easy 3.

PM-  Today's run was way nice and relaxing...  I don't remember the last time I've ran that slow.  It was great!  I ran with Maquel.  My ankle is feeling better, but it's not completely healed.  Striders were alright.  But atleast they go by fast.  I love running! :D

AM- Easy 3.  It is getting SO cold!  I could bearly move my legs!

PM- I am so happy that we don't have a michigan.  Those stress me out a lot...  This workout was alright.  I got to run with Coach Roberts.  That's always fun. :)  He pushes me a ton.  My goal is to stay up with him (or maybe even pass him) in every workout we have.  I ran the cool down with Taylor B.  On way to Harts, a lady in her car stopped by us and asked us if we knew where the movie theater was... good thing Taylor was there, cuz I had no idea! :)

This run was SO fun!  I ran with Megan Finch, Aubrey, and Taylor B.  I was so excited to hear that Megan was racing Varsity next weekend!!!  It's gonna be a blast and a half! :)  We ran to the hospital and up foremaster.  It was great!  We saw Megan Frodsham driving in her car.  She stopped and said hi.  That was prolly the highlight of my run.  We had lots of bonding time.  We had to run through construction.  That was scary....  We had to walk a little bit to get out of there safely.  But today's run was overall way fun!

Okay, I know the run was supposed to be 7 miles... but I got up at 6:30 to go run, because I had to go somewhere like at 9 something.  So go outside and start running.  Since it's so dark, I start seeing things in the bushes that I am running by... Then I start to panic... My mom calls me on my phone, and asks if I am alright.  And I said, no.  So she came and picked me up on my run...  That is why I didn't run 7 miles.  At least I ran.... that's better than nothing. :)

Well, today during the workout I wasn't all there.  I let my mind take over my body.  So whenever my mind said that I hurt, I would slow down..... that wasn't a great idea.  Plus I was super dehydrated.... :P My very last 1000 was my worst one..... my time was like 4:08....  but my other 3 I guess were alright.  I just got to push harder and enter the next level of pain...

AM- Easy 3..... I don't know what to do!!!  It's not cold enough to wear a sweatshirt, but it's freezing without one!!!!  Some crazy maniac was hiding in the bushes and attacked us.... It was intense!

PM- We went out to Green Springs.  This run was super great...  We had a little war with berries and we became little weed aliens... (we stuck peices of these grass things in our hair)  It was a really fun run! :)  Striders went by fast, that's always good! 

AM- Michigan..... These are my favorite...  :P  They stress me out so bad!!!  Sometimes, more than races!  I don't even know why!  I wish I stayed up with Kaelie..... It's just every time I ran up the hill I would fall behind and I would let the gap get wider.  My time was around 31 something... I think.  I didn't pay attention to the clock when I finished.  But I hit B standard again! :)

PM- Easy 3!!!!  I love easy runs!  I ran with Maquel and Maskerum... How do you even spell her name?!  It was SO fun!  Running on the grass made my legs way tired super fast.... But it's a blast to run without shoes! :)  I love running!  Because..... I'm Batman.

AM- Easy 3.  It was SO fun! :)

PM- This run was super nice and chill.  I loved today's run!  200's were great! :D

We went on a 4 mile run when we got there.... It was cold!  And It felt like I couldn't move my legs until the 3rd mile of the run.  The haunted "house" we went to made me panic... a lot.  It wasn't even that scary.  It was just late at night and I was tired.  We added some fartleks.  That's what killed me the most.  But the dinner we had after the run was super yummy!

(P.S. I guessed on my time)  Well, I would have to say this was my 2nd worst race I've had this season. (my 1st is Herriman)  I just couldn't go faster than workout pace.  I just kept on being past until the last stretch.  I didn't even want to know my place and my time.... I would think that my time was around 24 minutes.... but I guess I will never know.  Right when I passed the finish line, I started to cry.  I was trying to keep it together when Coach Roberts was talking to me, but when Taylor came and hugged me, I completely lost it.  But during the boys race, Finch threw off his gloves, so me and Taylor went and picked them up, and put one of his gloves on each of us.  We were hoping that it will give us super speed for our next race.  We'll see if it works in the Arizona race.

AM- I love how commited our girls team is...  I went to morning practice, but no girls showed up, so I just went home. (I might go running around my neighborhood, but if I can't find anybody to run with, I wont run this morning)

PM- Well I was told that we had morning practice... but oh well!  Shows that I am super commited to this sport!  This run was pretty good!  I ran with Kaelie for most of it, even though she hasn't ran for a while, she is still WAY good!  It was a way fun run!

AM- Easy 3!

PM- This workout was a blast!  It made me push hard to keep up....  I felt great for the 1st set!  Second set was a little slower, but I still ran hard!  Just the second 1000 we did, I went really slow, for I don't know why...  But overall, nice workout! :)

AM- Easy 3.

PM-  This run was awesome!!  I love easy mileage runs!  I felt cruddy the first half of the run, but the second half... I felt fantastic!  I finally decided that I want to get better, so when I got back, I stretched the heck out of my legs!  Felt amazing!

AM- Easy 3... it was so nice!  Taylor tried to freshman race me, but I didn't accept the challenge.  She said that was annoying. :)

PM- TIME TRIAL!  I was so excited for this!  I felt great!  I wish Mia was there so I can see I close I would have been to her.  I felt the best during the 1200's and the sprint in, the 800 I started to feel the pain, but alteast I pushed through it at the end!  I loved this time trial! :D

I love easy runs!  It was SO cold!  Striders were a blast!

I have a roadshow I have to go to.... so I didn't have enough time to run the whole run. but it's better than nothing, right?

I love 1000's!  Pretty much the best workout in the world.  I kinda took this workout easier than the other one we've done, cuz coach said not to go and kill it.  So the whole time I kept on saying to myself not to kill it... My times were 3:40, 3:43, 3:46, and 3:50 something... I got slower every time.  :P But overall, good workout. :)

AM- easy 3... it's SO cold!!  I am gonna freeze!

PM-  I love easy runs... it feels good to take it a little slower every once and a while.  Striders were great!  I ran them with Little Taylor Boyer.  She is super fun to run with non competively. (is that how you spell it?)  I loved today's run!

AM- Easy 3!

PM- Today's run was the greatest!  All the girls ran together!  It was the best!  We ran into Washington.  200's were the best!  I just kept on getting faster and faster on each one!  It was awesome!  I felt fantastic!  I am so excited for the Arizona trip tomorrow!

AM- Easy 3.

PM- Went on an easy run when we got to Arizona... turned out to be 4 miles!

AM- Easy 3.

PM- Ran the course.  We did some striders.

I felt super good during the warm-up.  I was thinking positive about the race and just felt mentally strong.  Some of the girls had to go to the bathroom, so Stoner and I decided to go get our spot while we wait for them.  The announcer guy says that there is 5 minutes left until he starts our race, and the rest of the girls aren't even back from the bathroom.  That's when I started to feel super stressed out....  Then I started to feel nervous about the race, and my mental toughness is going down...  But like 2 minutes before we start, our girls finally show up.  He shoots the gun.  I didn't start out too great, and Taylor gets in front of me.  So I said to myself, "I have to beat Taylor!"  Then some girls get in front of me, and I started to think negative.  I never caught back up to Taylor, in fact I slowed down.  I tried to think positive, but all I could think of was that my legs were super tired, and my body got the best of me...  The last stretch was prolly my best part, I start my kick, and I see the girl in front of me.  So I made a goal to catch and beat her.  I finally pass her, and I hear a kid saying, "Beat this girl, she's not that far ahead of you!"  When I heard that, I said, "I am not letting her pass me!"  I beat her!  That was the highlight of my race!  Except for the choc. milk they gave us at the end. :)  That was a nice touch.

This was a really fun run!  I longovonge rongunongnonginonggong! :)  This was my second time I have ever ran this run!  It's tough!  But when you are done with the trail, it's supa' nice!  The team dinner was the best!  OH MY HECK!  I'm a team captain!  I am SO excited for next year!  I can't stop smiling!! :)

AM- Super great!  I love morning runs!

PM- This workout was kinda a hard mental day for me... My first 1000 was awesome!  But all the other ones, I just thought not-so-positive thoughts, so I slowed down.  The last one I started out great... but then I just let the gap grow and grow, and I slowed down a bunch.  I need to work on thinking positive!!!!!!

I ran with Maquel this morning.  It was a nice relaxing run.  We did striders at a park.  While we were doing the striders, the sprinklers turned on.... So we had to run on the wet grass.  It was supa' slippery and cold. :P

Kaelie, Chancie, and I ran at the high school.  We ran to Star Bucks.  When we got back to the high school, we drank some hot chocolate and at some donuts. :)  Plus I saw Devin there!  That was super awesome!

I ran with Kaelie.  My legs felt like jello the whole time..... We didn't want to do the 200's, but we did them anyway. :)

I ran with Kaelie this morning.  We went out to green springs.  On our way back, on the golf course of Green Springs, we saw JP mowing the lawn.  That was super great. :)

I was kinda' nervous for this all day, cuz we don't usually bring spikes to practice, unless it's a time trial, and we are done with those for this season, so....  During the DI warm-up, my legs felt like junk, that also made me think I was not gonna do so well in this timed mile.  Taylor said she felt great, so I was thinking that Taylor would beat me.  But I thought wrong!  I beat her!  That made me SO happy!  I ran with Preston for the whole thing, he's a good pace maker.  I couldn't really start my kick at the end until I had 50 yards left... But I guess I got a pretty good time for not running on the track for a whole season...  I feel good about it now, but I know I will get a faster time in the mile in track season. 

AM- Easy 3

PM- Ran 4 with striders.

AM- Easy 3, pretty much the best one we've every had.

PM- ICE CREAM RUN!  I love this run!  On the way back, I felt fantastic!  But during the 200's... bleh... :P

AM- Easy 3, nice and relaxing....  nothing really exciting happened..

PM- CALIFORNIA!!!!!!  Super scary to run in the dark here...

We got our packets and stuff, and ran on the course, it was super muddy.... about ripped of my shoes.  The rain felt good.  Striders were great too.

Well, this was the best race EVER! :)  I love this course!  I finally had a race I thought positive the whole time!  The hills were tough, but I pushed over them.  I felt fantastic, and wanted to go faster and faster!  Finishing, I felt like I wanted to puke, but that's alright, cuz that means I pushed hard!  When I finished, after my tears of pain.... I couldn't stop smiling! :)  This was the best way to end the season!  That makes me sad that XC is over for this year....  I am going to miss the seniors....  Now time for the 2 week break.  What am I going to do with myself!  I am going to go insane!  I have to run!

This run was hard for me... pathetic.  I never knew 4 miles could be so difficult!  Even the smallest of inclines, they felt like huge up-hills!  What happened!  We didn't even take that much time off!  Oh well, I'll be able to get back into the groove of running soon. :)

I felt like crud for today's run.  I could bearly run a mile without feeling like I was going to die!  I'm super out of shape....  Hopefully I will be able to get back to where I was.  We got lots of businesses to help for the egg nog run!  It was way fun to run from store to store. :)  I went with Taylor Boyer and Erin.  It was a blast!

This run was hard for me.... pathetic.  I never knew that 4 miles could be so difficult!  Even small inclines felt like they were huge up-hills!  What happened?!  We didn't even take that much time off!  Oh well, I'll be able to get back into the groove of running soon. :)

Well, I am not really sore from this run.  It actually was really fun.

Egg nog is the grossest drink ever.  Never want to drink that stuff again.. :P  I thought I was gonna have fun with this egg nog run, but all it did was make me feel sick and gross for the rest of the day.  I don't even like egg nog to begin with!

Wow, I feel so much better today than I did yesterday!  We decided to have a shake up run, so we ran the DI loop twice.  It was a really nice, relaxing run.  Felt good.  Now time to eat tons of junk and party every night 'til 2!  Woo hoo!  Just kidding!  Don't do that!  It's not good for you!  Eat your fruits and vegetables and go to bed at 9:30 every night. :)

I woke up early this morning and ran with my dad and Tim.  It was really fun, except that Tim is still supa' fast, so he didn't really run with us.  So I just ran with my dad.  The only bad thing is that I am getting a cough, so my throat really hurt.

It is so cold outside!  In fact when I went out to start running, it was snowing!  My hands are still freezing, so it's really difficult to type.  When I ran by the Staheli Farm, I heard a cow get shot!  It was scary.  Anyway, it was a really nice, steady pace, run.  I felt great even though I ate lots of candy and stuff yesterday. 

My family decided to visit family in Arizona, so I ran with my dad this morning around our hotel.  We also ran on a golf course, but some guy yelled at us saying that the golf course was closed, so we didn't run on it again.  It was a nice run.  The weather was fantastic.  Way better than it is in St. George. :)

I ran with Kaelie this morning.  We both felt gross, but it was a nice run.  We ran to Hot Nails.  I feel cool, cuz I was the last one to run with Kaelie when she is 15!  Her birthday is tomorrow!  Make sure to wish her a happy birthday! :)
