Be a Crazy Runner

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.
