Personal:
I didnt even know XC existed my freshman year. The only reason I did it was because my friend Rebecca didnt want to be alone so being a good friend I joined with her, only to find out that I liked it. Ive been influenced by my dad and brother. They easily run everyday and I look at them in disbelief at how they do it. My brother use to drink a six pack of coke or more everyday. He was overweight and didnt give much interest into running. Suddenly one day he comes back to visit (since he lived in Nevada at the time) and we noticed he lost the weight. He caught the bug for running. (The garmin thats my profile picture is an example of his time) My dad qualified for the Boston marathon and was a great runner when he was young. Though he's aged he still keeps at it. I think all I want to do is be like them. I want to love running. I want to catch that bug that everyone seems to get.

The first thing I knew when I woke up was that it wasnt going to be a good day. My stomache hurt and I was getting a bunch of cramps. Took some pills they helped a tad and went on with the race. It was a fun race that was mentally challenging for me. Not so bad hills...but a bit of an incline which went on for pretty much the whole race I would say? or 2 miles of it. My dad said he was going to pace me but I told him that if he could do better then he should go faster. (His form throws me off so i found a runner that had a good form and went with them...thats how I kind of teach myself to keep going while keeping a good form...just easier for me that way, strangely so) My dad went ahead and got a 24:06. He beat my PR that i got in regions last year by secounds. Overall it was a good race. I felt horrible so when I got home I quickly fell asleep and didnt wake up until 6....VERY LONG TIME!!! Just wasnt feeling it. I'm glad I did it though.
Did the work out with the team at Cottonwood Complex where regions takes place.. Felt pretty good today. It probably hasnt hit me yet. Our warm up was about 2 miles for those who did the short one. After that we added sprints across the field. We did the famous Bessy 4 times with the loop to the finish line. We also ran the actual course which added 3 more miles. It started to get hot! Overall that added up to About 6.73 so I ran a bit more to get 7miles even.
