First run back since region, boy how I miss it! running was tough, just like I knew it would be, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I think I'll be able to get back into the swing of things quickly, though. It was a fun little run with Sasha, she's so fun to be around! it's just sad how few people there were, hopefully more people will be showing up as time goes by.

it's so sad how easy it is to get out of shape! I feel like I''m being a total slacker for not doing what coach tells everyone to do, but I know I got to do what's right for me. I do love running in this weather, it's absolutely perfect running weather. the run itself was pathetically difficult. my sides were burning and my muscles were getting sore, how sad! I've decided I should be okay by next moday or tuesday, so I intend on getting back into the swing of things by then.

hearts and back twice. I considered doing part of the speed workout, but considering the fact that when I got done with the first trip to hearts I was already feeling worn out, I just did an easy three. I tell myself I'm not aloud to feel discouraged yet, I need to give myself at least two weeks to potentially be back near where I was, but sometimes it's hard when the whole team, even breann, is so far ahead of me. But I do love to be there, seriously, what people need to realize that XC is the best thing ever is just not to be able to run or run with the team for a bit.

Oh what a beautiful day! one of these days I'm going to be able to keep up again, but until then, I'll just try to have a positive attitude. I got to run with the new freshman Alyssa, which was nice to get to know her, and then on the way back I ran with breann and sasha, both of whom were slowing down for me. but it was very enjoyable. only downside really of the run today was that I tripped and fell near the end, scraped my hands and knee up decently, but I've learned when you fall you have to get back up asap and not think about the wounds, or else you wont want to keep going.
