P.V.H.S.X.C.S.T.S.

ugh. . . I see how today's run got it's name! when we got to the three turn around Liz convinced me going four was a good idea. No. I wouldn't have minded the distance so much if it weren't for the beastly uphill. I tried telling myself I would be glad I went the distance afterwords, and maybe I will be. I didn't get much of a side ache until we were out of the hole, which I was glad for, but once we were out it hurt a ton! I was going really slow for a long time, but at the very end I started feeling alright again.

dirt mile today, and this time we had a watch! the one thing I'm not to fond about timing is that I don't see how slow I'm actually going until then. first mile was 11:14, and Breann, Liz, and I all stayed together for that one. and the second mile we all got spread out but I went about 10:42. I felt kinda tired today, could have been from yesterday's run, or from waking up at 4 to go to the airport, but I'm not sure. but I'm feeling pretty good about this season. I feel like I can reach my goals and be able to improve a noticeable amount.

why is there always some obscene hill in the middle of a run? It still doesn't feel any easier now than it did on the first day. I felt like I was trying hard, but for the most part it didn't seem to make a difference, I feel about as fast now as at the beginning of summer. I was a  bad kid and didn't do striders today because I felt so tired from the hill, but I know that's not much of an excuse, especially if I want to improve. 

Grass run today. This would probably be my best grass run day yet, I felt pretty good almost the whole time. I just wish I could get faster and be able to keep up with Liz and Taylor, but for now I'm good with running with Laney. Kids Club was a blast again! I just love the first and second grade girls, they're so fun and sweet! (and they're not too fast for me!)

well I ran by myself today because Liz decided to  "push herself" and run with Little Taylor Boyer, who was trying to run with Megan, who was trying to run with coach Roberts and Stoner. It's so hard to push the pace when you're alone! And when so many people passed me I guess I got a little discouraged and got a little slower. I'm not the biggest fan of 4 mile loops, I like knowing where the middle is because it helps me go faster on the way back. It was lovely weather today though. But I can't help but feel accomplished that I went as far as Tyson today.
