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

I can't wait until I run an "easy three". I seriously love summer practice, It's like school, except minus everything that makes school undesirable, such as classes. now if this summer just lasted forever, I'd be good. I'm still going really slow. like really really slow. but I run my whole run, that's something I want to always do. people say slow and steady wins the race, but in this case all the newbies who run fast and walk lots are still beating me out. so the saying should be fast and steady wins the race. for example, Michael Finch v. Susan Hutchins, I'm pretty darn sure fast and steady's gonna win it. oh but I'm feeling alright with myself. while trying to encourage a darling freshman today at her first day I was telling her that even though it was my third  year, I'm still not terribly quick, but I'm so so SO much farther off than I was when I began. running really has changed my life.

today during to warm up Coach decided to try to keep it together. It's kind of a good idea, and kind of embarrasing, but I think I liked it. the run was slow and slow. the distance is starting to feel a little better, but as long as I keep going slow. so I need to learn to pick up the pace and continue with my three milers. we didn't time ourselves at the dirt mile, but it wouldn't have made me feel very good anyway. today at kids club the girls were missing megan.  goes to show who their favorite is! ah, oh well, I still love them. 

be proud, be so proud! first off I went running by myself, accomplishment number 1. secondly I went running on a holiday, accomplishment number 2. thirdly I went running in the middle of the day in this hot humid air, accomplishment number 3. and last off, but not least, I went running while on vacation! that's right, I'm in Arizona right now, dying of humid hotness by lake powell on the fourth of July all by my lonesome. not going to lie, it was awful. my stomach decided to randomly cramp up to a crippling degree while I was the farthest point from home, luckily there was a "short cut" nearby. it was the longest short cut I've ever seen, but short cut none the less. so that's why my mileage is only two. I actually have no idea of how far I went, but I do have a run here I know is some where between 3 and 3.5 so it was that, but edited slightly. I think I should get a special prize for this run, as long as that special prize is extraordinarily improved running skills, I'm all for it. well, this is my lovely independence run report, I wonder how many of those you'll get today.

so Erin and Alyssa said to count our five mile hike as mileage on here. so three mile run, five mile hike. I did this awful workout thing with my mom yesterday so my thighs are so sore, it made today's run just buckets of fun! found out i got a four on the APUSH test, not too bad I guess. It really was my favorite class all around, absolutely loved it! but this is about running, not APUSH. run was a little less than fun, and a little less than convienently close. The hike was bunches of fun though, Kanaraville is not for the faint of heart, or the cold of feet.
