AM:  4x30secF w/1 min rec (track) +3x800I w/2min rec+3x1000T w/1 min rec (track) w/Pizza warm/cool. (finally figured to just copy and paste!) oh golly. my caves have never felt this tight in my entire life. I started singing hymns during the cool because they were crying out to me. Anyways, work out.. started out feeling like this is gonna be the best! but by the last 1000 coach gave us a speach on how we need to believe. If we already look tired and beat, inside we're pretty much destroyed.. yah, it was a hard hard work out. Some hard breathing was going on in my lungs. on my last 1000 coach literally pushed me and it felt good. I felt my legs just taking over because mentally, i didn't have to do anything, coach was just pushing me. i realized the only thing that was stopping me from going faster was my mind. dumb mind. But thanks coach! Realization that it doesn't hurt as bad if you run faster.. plus you finish faster. Sorry if it doesn't make sense, but it does in my head! Needing some time of stretching, rolling, ice bathing.

PM: 3 miles snail pace. My body ached but we (as in JP, Stoner, Liz and me) couldn't stop laughing at the littlest things. like me mistaking a woman as a man and i laughed really obnoxiously cause running and laughing don't mesh well. afterwards we cheered on the boys and girls doing their work out. I cheered on the guys and they didn't acknowledge my compliments. except for Nick, but only cause he's my favorite and Jake too. So after that we creeped on coach during his meetings and drew all over the board and got laughed at by coach Shaw because of my ugly green toe. And JP got laughed at by Dicky cause of her weird jumping. But anyways, today was a good day. It's still only 2 pm! what to do.. well anyways, the end!

Just keep pushing, Mia. You will be very surprised about what you can do.
