This is for you, Coach

ran with stoner and had the hardest time talking cause my breathing was jacked up and my legs were tightening up like crazy so i stretched and had stoner roll me out. so kind of her! but anyways.. the days i missed while i was up north really kicked my butt so not planning on missing anymore days of running...not even saturdays.

harts warm/cool. work out 4x1600 repeats. Not good at all and couldn't get any positive vibes in my brain which caused me to start breathing heavier than i should've. Super bad times and dumb things in my head beat me up the whole time and i know coach is right about being more confident which needs to happen now! but first i need to get rid of all my lame excuses and meditate or something. weights.. i think everyone was a bit off today.. Me and JP were staring off into space way too much. The thing in psychology about the brain made me want to puke... but maybe i was having one of those staring seizures. creeepy. Anyways, posting my goals for this track season where i can see it so i won't have another horrid work out day like todays.

am- 3 miles.. first morning run of track season! woot woot. wasn't too cold.

pm- 8 miles w/ 24min tempo (6:30-6:40 pace) Ran it with Stoner around 6:20ish.. but then again i don't know cause she had the watch. Felt a lot better and took on the challange which was hard but glad i did it. Just gotta keep sticking with Rach. She told me to keep the Hairspray song, you can't stop the beat' in my head and go with the rhythm which helped cause it got my mind off of running. Afterwards me, rach and mike hit it at the library (super cool place to be) and finished out psychology project.. was quite the event. We tripped a little, embarassed eachother a bit.. and got comforted by a sweet lady.. and then got kicked out BUT it was worth it :) 

wooo! good day today :) Ran 6 to green springs with 1x2min and 2x1min fartleks. felt nice and hard. Had an adventure and went through a small tunnel that could've been a cause of claustrophobia but instead it was just a lot of sore knees.. except for aubrie who could walk through it ;) Had a berry war and admired some puppies.. fun fun fun. Weights which were hard on the legs.. then some dandy ol' striders that felt great! Kinda chilly on the toes but not too shabby!

am- 3 miles.. wooo

pm- 5.5 out in chakwkakakak? Roberts came and made the run even better! He took us on a different run which was pretty incliney but super fun! We stopped to look at the pretty scenery and it felt SO GOOD. like 60 degree weather? kinda hot but on the way down it was just peachy! today was a good day. sore muscles but today was just too good for them to get in the way. Oh, and i drove the girls out there.. almost drove onto the freeway but Byron was kind enough to let me back in... woo! pretty scary.
