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

I'm actually not sure if that's as far as I went. See, I didn't run at all during girls camp because my parents have been wanting me to take a break for my foot for a while, so I told them I wouldn't run at camp so my foot would hopefully heal (which it actually didn't do much for, my foot still hurts). Any who, so I was originally intending to do 3, but then Breann convinced me while we were running that I would feel so accomplished if I did 6. I ran with her on the way out, but she turned around with liz, so I ran alone on the way back. I had been feeling kinda sickish, on the way out a little bit, but I thought it was nothing, it wasn't until I was about at the bridge on the way back that I started feeling terrible. I kept pushing but then I had to stop about half way to the light, I felt like vomiting/passing out. Rachel and friends found me and Rachel went to go get her car. I kept trying to get farther while she was gone, but I just didn't feel well at all. Moral of the story is, drink water, even if you wake up late. but plus side, when I ran with Breann she kept making me run with her, which was really good for me.

easy 3 today, nothing too special. It felt slow, and lonely.It's just hard to see new people who haven't been running very long at all come and pass you up, one of these days I'll be faster than a brand new person. striders afterwords, when I get to about 6 I start to feel so tired! and my collar bone starts to ache like a side ache, which I know sounds super weird.

yay afternoon run! It wasn't too bad, except I ate way too much before hand and felt awefully sick during the run. Kelsi, Aubrey, and Breann stuck back an ran with me. It's nice to run with other people, but I always feel so awfully guilty when they do. I don't want people not becoming their best because they're always sticking  back with me, they need to push their selves! One day someone should join who is just as good as me, and then we can push each other.

yeah, the run deserves the name. hills down in you know where, it was my first time doing hills like that this summer and it was sure something special. when I got down there the level 2/3 girls had already done a 1 min. so I joined them for their second one, right after we got started I could tell I was trailing behind by a ton. I am done being left in the dust. So I went as hard as I could and passed up Liz, so that made me feel super accomplished. then on one of the two 30s I ran up it with Megan which made me really excited. I pretty much woged up the hill out though, technically I was running, but I was running slower than manu's walk. died of thirst all the way back to the school, but besides that, I'm good. Oh, and my foot and ankle were hurting, I wonder why it just won't get better!

yay long boring and monotonous! grass run. I don't feel like I can tell how fast I'm really going on the grass, but today I wasn't pushing it very hard. one thing that I don't like about all levels going the same distance is that everyone finishes, and I still have two or three laps left! and then it's just kind of awkward running around everyone else doing their striders. Last day of kids club, made me feel sadish. . . I probably won't see some of those girls ever again, but then some of them may come back next year and be in my group again, so that's almost hopeful. I didn't go swimming with the team today, because Elder Hutchins gets home at noon, and I thought that was a bit more important.

Missionary brother get's released and  what's the only sensible thing to do 10 minutes after we get home? Take him on a run! He talked all the time during his mission about how he was running a lot and getting into good shape, and so I was excited to run with him! he's faster, but he stuck back with me and pushed me some. My stomach felt icky while running, even if it was just an easy three. I hope tomorrow my stomach will feel better. I felt justified in going on a second run today because we were supposed to do an afternoon run yesterday and I didn't do it, I felt kinda guilty.

five is hard. two and a half up hill is really hard, but the way back was nice and easy. I've been so sore all week ever since monday, I hope a little weekend of recovery will be good for me. I am seriously doubting that I've gotten much better since last season, I don't have any evidence that I've gotten any faster. I'm half excited for the race, and half dreading it. It either can make my entire summer of sweat pay off, or just break my heart and crush my soul. So yeah, that's my feelings for the day.

I wasn't able to make it to the afternoon practice at the school, so I ran the arctic circle three by myself. It was just an average run, I tried to push myself a little bit out of my own comfort zone that I usually end up running in while I'm alone. I hope that if I do everything coach tells me to do that I'll be able to reach my goals, which is how I got up the energy to go run three miles all by my lonesome.
