This is for you, Coach

AM: 4 miles. then went home to pack for XC camp!!! woooooo

PM: 4 miles out on the long road... Wasn't too shabby but my tummy hurt. Set up camp and got super excited to whats to come! rode up with Coach Holt and that was a blast! talked and talked and talked.. i forget what we talked about but it was just dandy.

AM: 9 miles out to the canyons-ish. the boys weren't kind enough to mark it for us but i'm sure we went a bit over. I felt great on the way up and it was all good but started to feel crappy on the way back.. the altitude was getting to me. The sky looked like it was getting smaller and all that but i made it back and just drank some gatorade and i was revived.

PM: 3 miles out on the road again. the day was great though!

AM: 5 miles up the hills! was looking forward to what was gonna happen... JP and I stuck together and our breathing wasn't doing us good but it felt great making it up the hill. Then the way back was just a party. Worked on our form from what we learned in class! props to coaches. We saw a deer and i shot an imaginary arrow and it died.

PM: 3 miles and had a crazy idea to run with the guys. why? it was a crazy idea. It wasn't too shabby until coach tried to throw me into the mud puddle cause my shoes weren't tied. i mean, my shoes always get untied but i've never tripped over them. talent if you ask me :) So anyways after that incident, coach had to push me up to the girls so i could keep up. After the hill it was like i got a burst of energy (kinda) and so i made it back. crazy right? i thought so too. I was pretty darn tired afterwards. I did play 11 games of volleyball with my awesome team! Realized by the end that i was the only girl on the court. yaya, it's okay to be jealous :)

Ran our last 4 and it was shabby, crappy, icky. My breathing was the worst out of all the days! but we cleaned up camp and it's crazy to think that its JP and Stoner's last year! Bitter sweet moment.

out to hospital (plus running around lowes) with 2 mile tempo at the end. Felt decent but was hard to breathe and my legs were dead. Felt nice to stay up with JP and Stoner on our tempo. no regrets! except we sweat a ton!

Ran in the heat of the day with Stoner and JP so we jumped in the river and rolled around a bit then made it to sandburgs and jumped in not only once.. but three times! yup, it was one of those chill runs for the week. Felt pretty exhausted but looking forward to this season!
