ba ba dah! I'm back! this year is going to be better than ever, I just know it! I want to work hard again this summer, but I'm going to be gone so often, I don't think I'll see as much improvement as last year. today's run was a toughy, both physically and mentally. I haven't ran for like a month, so I'm in less than prime shape. It's just hard to continually go back to square one, but I'm determined not let that get me down. I ran with Taelor today, and a bit with Jadie; they're dolls! but I want to be a little farther up in the line pretty soon. maybe by friday I'll be good with a three miler. yeah, I'll see if that'll fly.

.5 warm up, 1.5 run, and 1 for kids club. Can I just say that I LOVE kids club? 1st and 2nd grade girls are the best! like if I ever do super senior next summer, I'd come on kids club days because they are a huge reason summer practice is so great! running so far is not too splendid, but no reason to worry, it's only my second day back. I want to have my run be three miles by the end of the week, so I'll probably run two miles tomorrow. and I know this isn't a running injury, but I think I'll just document it anyway: my right shoulder hurts bunches whenever I lift it, especially when I rotate it back. it may be a throwing injury and hopefully will just heal with time.

There is only one good thing about grass runs. it is not the fact that everyone gets to see how many times they lap you, it is not getting to run barefoot on the sharp grass, and it is not that you get to run by the same boring scenery over and over again. the only good thing about grass runs is getting to run with Laney. so Coach Holt, if you read this, just know your five year old daughter is the only way I find joy in the grass runs.

hooray! I did my first three miler of the season! It's sad how tough something that used to be so easy can get when you don't practice. I love running with Erin, she's the best! and I ran with Taelor and Alyssa for most the way there too. ah, but my back is super duper sun burnt, so running is quite painful, but of course so is standing, and sitting, and breathing; so that's nothing to worry about I guess. well, yay for running! I'm sad I wont be here all next week, 'cause I'll be out of town. I'm not a slacker, I'm just busy.
