AM: 6x1000 (3:35,30,36,40,40,29) w/ 3 min rec and pizza hut warm/cool. woo.. glad that we do those in the mornings! other than tripping over every little rock that we can't see. Felt good sticking up with Stoner and JP for the first few and then getting behind cause i freaked out about my breathing. But coach gave a lot of little lectures about overcoming fear and pushing hard until you puke...so pretty much, i don't get to quit until i puke. anyways, the last two i redeemed myself by sticking up with stoner (but then loosing her at the freakin hill, dang it) and on the last one i couldn't let it go without pushing harder. freakin JP killed the last one! 3:17?!?!? holy moly. new goal, stick with JP and then i'll puke. anyways, pretty good work out. i know i can stick it up with stoner and jp more than i did today. It's great having two coaches run with us. Us girls discussed this in the locker room about how coach is breathing just fine while we do our 1000 then there's us breathing like we're drowning. it's great. makes me laugh. PM: 3 miles out to everywhere... through sandstone, movie theater.. little G's house. it was great, on the way back. BUT! before the run, i had a surprising visitor in my shoe. SO here's the story. I went outside shoeless with Stoner and decided to plot myself down on the sidewalk. Mike was yelling at me to get my shoes on so i hurried.. and as i put on my left shoe (yes coach, i got my left shoe on.) i felt something in there so i took it off and stuck my hand in there to get what i thought would be a leaf... but it wasn't! instead it was a HUGE (i mean like 3-5 inches) cockroach!!! I screamed and threw that nasty thing into the fence but the saddest thing was that i didn't get to kill it! Poor thing, now it has to live knowing that it's the most hideous thing I've ever touched. gross. |
