Stamina, Speed, Strength, Skill and SPIRIT

AM: I warmed up only half a mile cuz I started late and then we ddi 6x1000's at the high school. My goal time based off of last weeks time trial was 5:14. My times were 4:37- much too fast, 4:56, 5:09, :08, :09, :07. I didn't feel so good, I was just super tired, hopefully I will have more energy for the race tomorrow! 1.5 mile cool down.

PM: 3 miles. We went really really fast, even though coach wasn't there. But it felt good! I stayed up with the girls the WHOLE time!! yippee! Every time I fell back mia made me catch up with them again so that helped. It felt good except for I felt my shin splints again. I need to ice today so they don't hurt tomorrow. Weights and plyos after! Great day!

am: ran an easy 5, felt really good! 200's after.

pm: race: girls warmed up about 2 miles, did agilities, and went to the start. The gun went off, but we took a couple seconds before we realized he had already shot it:) My goal was to keep up with ali and kaelie, since they are really good at pushing and working with eachother. And for the first mile and a half we had about 5 girls from our team together! Then some fell back and it was me, ali, and kaelie. We pushed eachother and ali pulled ahead and I made myself go with her and we eventually finished really close! In the end my kick was really bad, cause I cant sprint after 3 miles, but no one passed me so that's good:) I was 4 seconds off my best time, 22:24 but it was a Great race to start the season! Then I cooled down a mile with macey.

pm: 3 miles to hot nails, felt great. striders after.

am: 3 miles with macey, my shin was hurting a lot.

pm: only ran 2 miles because my shin was hurting so bad while everyone did hills. Ive been icing and stretching and rolling real good.

pm: I ran .5 mile warm up and decided to not do the workout cause I was hurting. Coach had me run on the track so it didn't bother my shin. I only ran 1 mile though, then stretched and iced.

I wanted to race so badly! The course looked so fun and fast and I was looking forward to a good PR. But it was really fun to cheer on the team and see everyone do aweseome! I attempted a warm up and stopped and decided it would be good not to race. My shin is so annoying!
