GOING THE DISTANCE

pm-  6 and a half miles, hill workout up and down foremaster ridge.  This was the first time I have done this workout out and it was way hard.  We ran over to Sunrise tire and ran up the hill pretty fast.  Then jogged slowly back down.  Most people did 5 of them.  On the third one I was killin and stoner came from behind and PASSED ME!  Oh the shame.  Not as bad as getting beat my sunshine, but its up there.  I promised not to let it happen again.  So of course, it didnt.  Then we ran back to the school.  And hurray, hurray, tomorow we start up morning runs again.  hurray hurray, im so stinkin happy, hurray hurray.

am-  back to morning runs, hurray.  arctic circle. 

pm-  For practice today i just ran 3 miles; my knee was hurting too much.  I started out with the boys but as we went farther all the little tendons and stuff under my knee started hurting too much.  So me and Jake Brown turn back at harts and got around 3 miles i think.   I went back and iced it and others parts of my poor crippled body.  I am only and freshman but i am dying and falling apart.  What a bummer.  oh well.  Then when we were all waiting for rides and all that, me jake and andrew were watching rachel pull out when clunk, she back into a car.  Sorry stoner but it was pretty funny at the moment but yeah, thats too bad, sorry you had to do that.  There was a pretty nice dent in the car but her and mia just drove away really fast so it was pretty much a hit and run i would say.

pm-  We did the mall run which was 5 miles and after did striders.  The run was great, my knee felt mostly good and i could run good.  Coach just told me to run good and straight and clench and all that.  So the knee felt pretty fine.  I even won the 3rd strider so it was a day full of accomplishment.

am-  3 miler arctic circle as usual.  It was colder than normal like 40 degrees but i like it.

pm-  Workout in the afternoon.  The total mileage was 7 miles about.  We had our harts warm up then did the workout which was  1 minute hard and 1 minute recover, then 2 minutes and so on up to 4 minutes.  Then 3, 2, 1, then cool down.  This workout was okay but not too hardcore.  I don't really know what was up, my legs just didn't have it.  I would try to go faster, i even would say out loud, "go faster you fool!"  I finally started catching people by the end but I didn't stay up with krenshaw and reed and kyler and them most of the time like i normaly can.  It was just weird.

pm-  Me, Paul, and Andrew got together after school like at 2:30 and did mustang pass then through the desert to my house.  Total miles was 7.35690.  Right when we started we saw this shirtless man running through the brush.  It turned out to be coach holt so that was really good or really bad timing.  It was a good run and was fun because its way funner to run on dirt trails than road.  Now i gotta go win my race tommorow.

am-  RACE.  Today was the monster dash race.  This was more like a 3 mile tempo.  I felt like i was going pretty quick, but i guess not.  No one was any were even close to me.  I was just running alone.  So it was hard to go really fast not having anyone anywhere to make you push it.  Looking back now, I didn't feel like i was dying.  I was just breathing pretty hard.  So this was a nice, fast, cold run.
