GOING THE DISTANCE

pm- Me and Alex went out at 5:30 and went for a run.  I went for 30 minutes doing 3 minutes run, 3 minutes walk.  The weather was great.  My teeth holes felt a little funny like throbbing blood or something.

pm- Me and nicole and colton did my little walk/run program.  we did i think 6 laps around the 800 loop so of course it was 3 miles.  our pattern was 4 minutes run, 2 minutes walk x5 so 30 minutes.  It was so great to be back running with the team.  After did weights and im way sore.

3pm- Today for practice I ran 3.5 miles around the 800 loop with Colton.  It was nice, we just talked about our lives and got to know each other a little better.  So it was a good run and I felt good, except I was real sore from them squats  n stuff.  Before we did our standing virticle, I got 24.  Only Cameron and Paul were higher.  Abel and Mike both got 24 also.  (24 inches, not feet)

3pm- I ran with the team for the harts warmup.  Then me and colton finished up on the track.  After did weights.

4pm- Today the team was doing mustang pass so my mom said not to go cuz its rocky and hilly.  So i went out at 4.  I went up my street up to fairway.  The cut through sivler stone to green springs drive.  I went all the way up to the top then loop around at the park.  Saw dallin, alli, and i think chandler at the top.  The I worked my way down till i got to 35 minutes.  Thats what i did today, just 35 minutes straight.  And i happened to do exactly 4 miles.  not a .01 more or less.

3pm- Today i ran arctic circle.  At first i ran with the team, but that was pushing it a bit.  So i slowed from 7:45 pace to around 8:30.  That felt better.  Colton ran arctic also but he is a b it farther along then me so he was far ahead.  My brother wants everyone to know that he is stepping it up.  He ran 4.5 miles today. (WOW!)

5pm- I rode on my dad bike trainer thing where you just stay in place.  It was hard and fun and good. And i didnt go to running practice.

3pm- Today I did Harts warmup with the team.  Then I did about 2 miles on the track while everybody else did the run thing.  Today was pretty cold.  This took me about 5 minutes to right cause my fingers are numb.    

3pm-  Today I just kinda ran around while the team did their repeats on the track.  I did the harts warmup with them.  After I did 4 800 loops.  So then i was at 3.5.  I finished with 2 laps on the track.  Then did the Pizza hut cooldown while the rest of the people did harts.  I dont know how the extra .1 go in there it should have just been 5.  Did some weights after.  While i ran, my body temperature was cold.  Thats a prepositional phrase folks.

3pm- trail tuesday.  I have ent ran on a trail for a while so it was nice.  That is my favorite trail but i usually like to stop at the dinosaur tracks a little longer to enjoy their lovely buety.  At first I was struggling a bit but later after we passed the water tank i stayed with the boys for the first time since the triumphal return.  I went with them for about the last mile i pushed it a bit; fast but not to much to hurt myself.  It just plain old felt good to run like that again.  Good day.

3pm- Everybody thought I ditched practice today, but let me assure you.  I was taking the means to make my body be healthly and not bony cracked.  So I just got home from a bike ride.  It was good, I went 10 miles.  About 45 minutes or so is how long it took.  There was some good hills like up northbridge and westgate and stuff.  Going up westgate hill, it was so steep.  I was full of pain, but I just held it in and embraced the pain, letting it course through my legs and drive me to my limits.  It was exscrushiatingly painful, but haveing the rock hard mental strenghth that I do, I used it to my advantage.  I went and had a hard workout wich made me have good aerobic and anaerobic activity.

3pm-  Went to practice today.  My mom said I had to just increase my miles by 10 percent this week, so I need 8 more miles for this week.  So I did 4 today and I will do 4 tommorow with the big boys.  Hopefully I can keep up.  Anyways, I went over to old man hill where the team did their workout, then looped back up by Jasons, then went back to the high school.  After did lifting with everybody.  Man, when i'm a senior, i'm gonna be big! (at least for a skinny runner)

3pm-  Went for a 4 miler with the team.  It was a good pace (7:30) that I felt pretty good running at.  We went to starbucks and back.  I had to stop at arctic circle on the way back to do my special business.  My calf has a ton of pain now.  If i try to roll it then it hurts so i have no idea whats wrong.  If anyone knows please tell whats wrong and what to do because it hurts to walk and run on it.

3pm- Today I went for a run.  I did a loop past the churches, around the clubhouse, up silverstone hill, past weston (the new sunshine) house, then home.  I averaged 7:30 pace witch i felt pretty comftorble with.  So I am getting in better shape.  One more week of base building, then i'll probly start doing some workouts. 

3pm-  I did my usually run when every body else does repeats.  Harts warm and cool with the team, then 3 miles around the 800 loops.  After we did weights.  Coach Hosner came in and was impressed when me and paul were squatting 155, so I guess all the Pine View runners are known for being weak (shame, shame, shame,).

3pm-  Today the team was doing 10 miles so I just came home and ran.  I needed to slow down a bit and just have a nice relaxing run.  And it was nice.  I made up a new 4 mile loop around silverstone and northbridge, and its now one of my favorite 4 milers.  My knee has been a bit sore, so I was worried it might hurt on the run but it got warmed up and felt good.  And my shinsplints are going away so thats swell.  Averaged 8:20 pace.

3pm-  Today was a nice cloudy day.  It was a nice temperature like 50 maybe.  It sprinkled a bit on the run.  I ran with the boys until they started their first fartlek about 1.5 miles into it.  After we lifted but I didnt do any squats or deadlifts porque my knee has been hurting from tendonitis for like a week.

5:30pm- went out in the rain for a run. did a new 3 mile loop

3pm- today I got to do my first workout.  I did 2 1000's.  After harts warm up of course. 3:31 and 3:35 were my times.  I think that was good.  I havent done any workouts since october and I felt good on those repeats, they werent very hard.  Just fast which is a pretty good feeling.  After cooled down and lifted weights a little bit. 

3pm-  Trail run.  5 miles on the temple quorry trail by the airport.  The first and last miles were easy but the middle 3 were pretty tough.  There was tons of rocks and hills but everyone was still going pretty fast.  I dont know what the rush was.  I rolled my ankle twice trying to stay up but this trail was a good fun trail.  The weather was good before but got bad and freezing after we were done.

3pm-  today was a nice sunny warm day.  the team had a tempo so i did my own little tempo.  I did 1 mile in the middle of my run at 6 minutes.  i still getting back into it cuz it was pretty hard.  I did it going east then north on river side drive.  it wasnt really that hard until i got to the hill.  the rest from there was tough.  i never remember my sunglasses on sunny days, only cloudy.  its a shame.

3pm- Old man hills. This was my first time doing them. I felt strong and fast on the hills. but earlier that day, my mom had taped me with athletic tape instead of kt tape for my shins. the left on was fine, but the right was super tight. so at school, some tendon or something was popping on my Achilles everytime i stepped. so i cut part of it with a knife from lunch. so then it was good. but when we ran, a mile in, my circulation was totally cut off, and my leg was losing feeling. so I had to stop a take the tape off. it hurt a lot. my legs weren't shaved so like 200 came out and I was bleeding from my pores. rough day.
