Be a Crazy Runner

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!
