Be a Crazy Runner

AM- Well, I felt alright today!  I just gotta trust myself that I can go faster.  I got like 4:39 on the first one... I don't remember the rest though.. But!  I know on every single one I was faster than 5 minutes! :)  The fourth one I felt the best, but it wasn't even my best time!  The sprinklers didn't really help me much... It made me feel like I couldn't catch a breath, so that made my breathing all whack.

PM- 3!  Pretty toasty, but felt good!  Felt so much better than this morning!  Weights and plyos were great! :)

AM- 5 miles with 4 200's.  Felt pretty good this morning, my legs were tight, though. :/  It was weird, like they didn't hurt, like usual, but I still felt a knot in my calf.  So... I don't know!  200's were good.  I just need to relax, cuz I tighten up so much when I try to run faster!

PM- Race!!  I wasn't too nervous for this race actually!  And I felt way good on our warm up!  When we got up to the starting line, I started to get nervous.  It was such a huge group of girls!  The gun kinda caught us off guard.  All he said was "ready, go!"  No set!!  What the?!  But since I start so great for every race, I got a good spot!  Not!!  I started crappy, like always!  So I got trapped behind every stinkin slow girl!!  I was practically walking the start!!  I was sooo bugged!!  I couldn't get around them!  But I was able to get around them, like after the first 400 meters or so.  And then I got a good spot. :)  I forgot how much racing hurts!  Oh well, something I have to get used to!  I wanted to break 20 so bad, my time was 21:02.  So that's something I will work up to. :)  I got 11th place too!  I'm pretty happy of how this race turned out.  Good way to start off the season. :)

No morning run!  I was pretty excited about this, but I woke up at 7:30, and couldn't fall back to sleep.. I guess my body will never let me sleep in ever again!  I guess it's a good thing.  But anyways, I felt great during today's run!  We got a good group going too!  I'm excited for our new girls varsity team!  It's gonna be a fun group of girls!  Striders were awesome!

AM- first morning run!!  Super fun!  Did some plyos.

PM- I felt so good! Well, my body didn't feel so hot, but I honestly think it was my attitude that changed this whole workout around.  And!  I lead the girls today!  Felt great!!  :)  The last few 30 seconds, I felt so light headed though..  But was able to make it back, you know, without dying..  Weights were good!!

AM- easy 3!!!

PM- 1x1's today! It was sooo hot!  Ran them with Mia!!  That was fun! :)  We were able to help each other.  So that was nice. :)  Got my flippin senior parking spot.  Woo hoo.  I guess that it is alright, cuz I get my own parking spot.  But, eh..

I got new shoes at the Running Store thing!!  I'm so excited!  They are the same shoes as I had before but different color.  It was so weird to have shoes that actually have some support!

Instead of racing, I ran with Mia!! I stinking love her!!  I felt pretty good, but my calves were tight at the beginning.  When we started the tempo, they felt better.  Well, we followed coach's directions exactly and got lost... so!  We ran around this maze neighborhood.  I felt great during the tempo!  The best I've felt for that!  We kept under 7:30 pace throughout the whole thing, until the last half mile, then we hit 7:35.  But it's still great!  Made it back just in time to see our JV girls race. :) Our team is so great!  They all did awesome!!
