This is for you, Coach

Work out 5:45 AM? who knew? well JP didn't. sorry girl! anywho, 6x 3min w/ 3min rec. pizza hut warm and cool (6 miles total). Hard work out but i'm feeling good! Staying up with JP and Stoner just gives me the giddys. hahaha, k no. Just makes me feel more confident. I gotta keep sticking up with them on every work out. My last one was a bleh just cause it was bleh. but! I know i can stick up with them, so i shall!

PM: it's just great having work outs in the mornings :) blessed coach. We ran sandburgs (3 mi) woooo!! jumped in, jumped out. worked out. plyoed.. out! OH! CODE... white gal run today. da best. or stoner calls it pribe? i think.. it was just dandy!!

AM: 4 miles with stoner and Jp. nice and easy. except when Martha pushed the pace. darn her.

PM: 8 miles total. 4.5ish warm up, 2 mile time trial and harts cool. did a lot of running today.. my legs are begging for mercy. time trial was bleh. i can do better but as of today, my mind was blocked with the thought of how tired i was. better sleep really! I need to keep getting closer to stoner.. not farther. bad bad bad. anywho, like what pete always says, i need to work on my mental toughness. maybe get a new brain, that'd be nice.

AM: 5 miles with 1/2mi fartleks. (its) RAINING (men...) HALLELUJAH! (that's a funny song) anyways, felt so so so so nice! It felt really good running fast but not breathing hard. I felt pain in my legs but it was the sweet pain, the pain you want more of. I really enjoyed todays work out other than afterwards realizing that everything is still wet..

PM: 3 miles out towards artic but psych you out and go towards harts. It was fun cause it was still raining! glorious rain! summer rain is just the best. I felt so good, i just wanted to keep running after the 3 was over. Went to work after and was in a really good mood surprisingly! probably surprised the old folks too. (i'm not a grouch, i promise!) 

am- 4 miles

pm- 3 miles w/ striders. felt really tight. 

am: 3 miles plus 200's. gotta work on my sprints!

pm: 3 miles. hot hot hot, too spoiled by the rain. 

SUU today! saw Cam Levins, almost got an autograph... but we'll catch him later :) Had a false start at the beginning and had a hard time calming myself down afterwards. But the race started finally and we ran many loops. The "incline" stretch was probably the worst part. It hurt and was slow. I think us girls didn't start all that great because i should've been way up there, closer to deseret hills! But i felt strong throughout the middle and when the end came i felt nothing in my system and it was hard. The cedar girl that i tried to get away from all last year was in front of me and that ticked me off. so hopefully next race I'll remember how ticked off i was about having cedar in front of me. It was great being close to JP! i'm just gonna have to trust it more and stick up with them from the start! lots and lots of work to do. Stoner, JP and I had lunch over this discussion so hopefully we can do better with bonding with the other girls. Hopefully that'll help our gap. So anyways, i got a free shirt, saw Kaylee and Tyson and went to Cafe Rio.. it was a good day.
