Morning run, 2x on track warmup, then Arctic Circle (3) with ALLY (she has a blog too)(and has lucky teeth). Anyway, we went pretty fast, the first half I was really tired and wanted to go slow but Ally was pushing it more, so I went with her. I finally got into the run on the way back and it went pretty well and I ran fast. During the run I was trying to run with higher knees to see if it helped me run faster and easier. I felt good for the most part, used some different muscles so it was a little more tiring than just running faster w/o higher knees

After school at practice, 2x on track warm up. We ran AT Dogpound (4) , the first 1/2 mile was warming up, then the last 1/2 mile was cooling down. middle  mile times were alright: 6:39, 6:20, 6:47. slower than last week, but yesterday's workout was harder. while running, my legs were so tired, left knee hurting a bit esp. on the downhill (mile 2).

I look like chocolate chip cookies also, every morning they are my favorite before a run. Good luck on your goals. Great goal for a college scholorship. Forest Gump?

Very good training this week so far. I really like those 8-9 miles, they are very helpful for building endurance. The speed days could use a bit more buffering/padding mileage before and after.

good luck at the race tomorrow RUTHIE!!

Brent - I don't eat anything before I run in the mornings, but I am sorry to say that I look like a cookie. :-) I was on my friend's computer when I made my blog, so I didn't have any pics of me, so I just picked a picture of something I like.

I also have never seen Forrest Gump, but whenever I mention wanting to run across the country, someone always mentions Forrest Gump...
