This is for you, Coach

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. 

AM: 4 miles and guess who came?! Kayla Webby :) so so happy. now it's alise's turn!

PM: 5 miles with striders. dang hot. sandburgs with a layer of poop was very disappointing.  

AM: 3x2min w/ 1 min rec + 4x400 w/ 30 sec rec. (4.5mi) stuck as a pack. it felt nice. until i went into the locker room and found that my toe is getting more raw. gross. ew. but it's okay. i don't feel like doing anything for it.

PM: 3 miles out to hot nails. theres a new place right by it called "finacial security". ya, that doesn't really go for a three mile name. Megan and i discussed this. anywho, we splashed water on each other but were dry before we even it the sun! holy hot. BUT while i was at work, i looked out the window and what did i see? (popcorn popping out the the apricote tree...NOT) RAIN! so sad i didn't get to run through it :( i got to enjoy it in a old folks point a view. very depressing. 

am: 3 miles plus striders. striders in the morning? It's almost as good as a mango smoothie from emrold city. btw JP, we needa go by and tell him about soccer ;)

pm: 4 miles. it was hot but probably the best run! Roberts, Stoner and i were no stop talking from the turn around and back. We talked of kids, how many stoner and i want, roberts adorable daughters, kids attitudes, memories, etc. it was great! it went by so smoothly and fast i loved it! One of those runs that you don't notice your running.. anyways, my toe nail needs to hurry and come off. Plyos didn't help it from healing though. oh well. 

before i forget. ran 3 in the morning, 9 with 30 min tempo 7:30 pace. we finished exactly at 4 miles, pretty crazy. and ran 2 miles on the track for the run a thon and did our 4x200s. we really wanted to run 15 before midnight! anyways, i'm tired, and my legs and died. run a thon was different but pretty fun.

the rest of the run a thon. 2 miles on track and 3x400s. so dead.

ROBERTS! I hope you'll be happy to hear that Kaylee and I fulfilled our promise! We texted cha cha and found the delicious dutchmans market and now it is on my top 2 favorite gas stations! (the other is Harts) thanks roberts!
