This is for you, Coach

Ran half way with Roberts and that's always fun! Ran the rest of Grape vine by myself and i didn't get lost... props to me self. Felt decent, all the junk i ate while my parents were away was getting to me, so hopefully i can get back into the healthy eating habit.

PM: 3 miles plus weights and plyos. so excited. i'm gonna be buff! not. 

AM: 4 miles on dirt, felt nice. Wore my new Mizuno Elixar's and my right foot started heating up and felt swollen but Roberts said their just adjusting so no biggie! hopefully... Striders after the dirt and those weren't too shabby except i realized how much sorer (if that's even a word!) i am from plyos yesterday. i could barely play misssionary tag with the girls! it was more like rolling around to the next spot before getting tagged. pathetic, i know. 

PM: 3 miles out to double churches (from mi casa) with Stoner and JP. waited forever but danced in the rain until it was all gone. run felt nice but my foot still did the weird numb feeling even though i was wearing the brookes. Stoner said that it's prolly my foot.. i didn't even think of that cause i was too busy blaming the shoes.  

AM: Hell Hole hills 4x1 min, 5x 30 sec. not too shabby! felt sore at first but the more we got into it, i just forgot about my soreness. It was more about pushing up the hill and keep pushing over the hill. Got me thinking about state and all the other races with hills. can't wait! Stoner got me going when she started off by saying 'let's go mia'. You can't turn down an invitation, even if she kills the hills. It felt nice getting back into work outs though :)

PM: 3 miles out to the river with JP and Stoner. but before we even got to running, we kinda creeped on Kaylee and helped her out, in a way :) anyways, we ran to the river and cause it was flooded the current was pretty strong. And the water looked like chocolate milk. seriously, you can't even see a outline of your body when you get in. you actually can't even see anything! thrilling right? ya, exactly what stoner and jp took it as. so we did some childish stuff and messed around. On our way back we found a wounded bird and took it to stoners house to nurse back to life. 10 min after jp and i left, we got a text of the memorial service of our poor birdy named Luck. 

3 miles? what?! plus striders. good run, nice and relaxed. thanks coach! 

pm: 3 miles plus weights and plyos. hot hot hot. sweaty sweaty sweaty.  

am: hills 3x30sec, 5x1min then 3ish on grass. Hill work out was pretty good. practiced controlling my breathing and the grass felt nice. right calve got tight but will just need to stretch more. Not to sore from yesterdays plyos. actually think it helped me get over monday's plyos.  

pm: 3 miles church to river again with JP and Stoner but before we got together we watched the womens 10K!!! holy cow. EPIC. Dibaba is out of this world. That's pretty much all we talked about for the rest of the run. yup, inspiration. 

starting at 10am.. JP and i started our run out to chevron! It was actually really great! It wasn't too hot and there was a cool breeze too. We found a sprinkler so we drenched ourselves and at chevron we poured water on ourselves so we could have a good tempo, which turned out alright! it was mostly down hill but it just made us go that much faster when it got flat. after our tempo we chilled at the river for a while. I think that's our new favorite place. So lucky to live so close to it!! anyways, run was very good! :)
