This is for you, Coach

AM: labor day work out on the track, how nice. warm up, Pizza warm/cool, 4x1mile T pace w/ .25 rec (not 25 second recovery...). supposed to hit between 6:50-7:00. we hit 6:28, :44, :52, :29. It was a pretty strong work out. Breathing got hard at the end but JP was a good leader. Coach told me to lead at one point so i attempted but i guess it suggested that JP would push the last 400 even harder hahaha.. i'll just let her lead. Aubrey kept with us on her last one and that was amazing! It felt good pacing her, i loved it! Taylor did way good too, she hit all her times! The last one was hard espcially when i'm running with someone who becomes a demon on the track but she pushed me hard! happy day. We did plyos and didn't skip anything even though we were quite dead. 

AM: 4 miles. left leg felt like was dragging. stretch baby stretch!

PM: 6x1000 w/ warm/cool (6.5mi) at the bloomington hills park. bleh. long grass, hard breathing, tired, not a good combo. not one of the best work outs. our times were in the 4's. not a big fan. hopefully i won't feel like that at murray! The boys and girls raced hard yesterday! noticed how small our girls JV team was so i recruited a few girls hopefully! Boys did awesome! that was intense.. stoner and i screamed hard at them so they better have heard us.  

AM: late again.. but ran 3 miles w/ striders. felt tired but my striders felt good and fast!

PM: 3 out to hot nails after a long argument. but made a deal with stoner that we'll jump into sandburgs tomorrow..  haha. Had craps and pains throughout my whole body during the run, hopefully they'll go away soon! Weights and plyos afterwards. I've been thinking that i really need to become more serious about these because i need more power in these limbs of mine. 

AM: 3 miles w/ 4x200's. Alise came!! wooooo :)

PM: 3 miles out to sandburgs. oh my gosh. the exact words i said before my heart attack. After a splendid dip into sandburgs, we were getting our shoes on and all the sudden Taylor was like, the guys are coming! and click, I grabbed my shirt and booked it out of there. Stoner and everyone else were normal and got there shirts on easily but my stupid shirt was being complicated and i was scared out of my pants that i kept shaking. i stopped behind a bush (kinda) and tried getting it on with stoner yelling at me but had to have assistance from aubrey... I didn't stop shaking until we got out of sandburgs. never again, am i gonna take my time getting my shoes on. ever. I'm so sorry to any of the boys that saw the whiteness of a molly mormon.. ha. oh and vegan dinner tonight.. thought they were hamburgers but ended up being beans..bleh.... don't tell my mom!  

AM: 3 miles

PM: ran the state course (3 mi) and learned how to partner stretch and got rolled out.

Race: Murray! the only part of the course i knew was the start where i go up the small hill and after that it was a mystery! Got out pretty good, followed Stoner and elbowed people for the first mile. The snake hill was way dusty and people in front of me were stopping which reminded me of footlocker.. they were in the way! but after that it felt good and there was a lot of passing but people passing me too... there were just a lot of people! The last mile i got sight of JP and caught up with her but by then i was antsy to finish but had no idea when i was going to finish. That made me super mad so when the finish came i kinda gave up cause mentally i was just mad that no one told me when i was going to finish. Wish i had a better finish so next race my only goal is to have a finish that i'll be happy about. Positives out of this race- wasn't so clammy before the race and was way excited to race. The first 2 miles were pretty strong and glad i was able to run with JP for a while and help her out too. We closed our gap on Cedar and Liz, Taylor, Aubree, and Kaelie did super good! they were pretty grouped together. Anyways, we finished with getting 10th. It was pretty cool seeing some interesting people.. The way up and way down was just a party cause all we do is sing sing sing!
