USU

had a good run down hell hole. did some hill bounders that werent too hard, but some dummy decidedd to do bounders all the way up it on our way out. hip flexor was feeling a little sore again but nothing to complain about yet. i was gunna lift with mattew aftr but i locked my keys in the car.

allrighty what a day today! had a pretty great easy run today:) i had some intence pain the last half mile up where my neck meets my shoulder. anyone have tips for that? we havent had any rip banannas for  a whyle so that might be why. so you guys know how i locked my keys in my car yesterday? well.... i did it again today. at the dentists.... i went to home depot after i got back into my car and copied thoes bad little  boys. and the keys too;) 

had a really nice run today. some kids decied to push them selves and had a nice confidence booster. just as  longas they dont hurt themselves

had a good run around the neighborhood and on the grass with striders after it wa pretty quiet. went lifting after. then i did some good stretches and rolled with a foam roller

later that day:

went to the running store today and got some new shoes. it was a tough decission between the kinvara 3s and the altras with support. i really liked both of them, except for the 70 acres the toes get on the altra, but i chose the altras cuz they help with form, and running efficiently. tough decision! i way way way way way love the brooks connects. they are my favorite ive ever had but i needed something new becauuse even though it says on my blog that my grean beans only have like 250 miles i have 500+ on them (there was a blog apostacy for a few months) and i needed something for longer runs. i'll for sure still run in my green beans. 

good run down in green valley with my new altras. i was worried about the size of them, they might have been too small, but they were actually pretty good! i hope they help to improve the way i run a little. paul did good again today, as did everyone else! but paul insisted that he went the whole 6 miles, when coach only wanted him to do 5. i hope nobody gets injured! still bumbed about colton! i talked to him today and he still thinks he can go to camp so thats good! we need him and everyone else to bring their A game this season!

k whoever reads this give me answers! why do my saturday runs suck! suck suck suck suck suck! they always are ten times more painful than other runs and they are always haveing problems and bla! i had to walk once, "go", and cut my run short one mile. i was hydrated enough, maby i had too much food in me? its hot? idk but these last few saturday runs havent been the greatest.

dang what a sucky run! i had a tough time but i guess that everyone has thoes kindsa days right? i was fine untill we started;) but at about mile 5 i couldent go anymore and i had to take a few brakes. i felt way weak and my breathing was hard. oh well saturday was tough hopefully i'll be feeling good as new soon

alot better of a run today! we had some strong paces over on the dirt mile for a easy 4 miler. i dident do my double yesterday so im gunna do it tonight. hopefully i'll be free of any major problems for tomorows 8 miles with another 3 in the hot afternoon ( is suposed to be 110!!! what the weiner!) sorry ladies, but its hard not to say weiner;)

i dida double today. it was nice easy and coolish:) altras 

coach seemed to have a rough time today! i dont blame him it was a hot one today and he ran mucho! we ddid a parkway thing with a mile out and back exctencion.

swim party after!

nice evening run afterwards with 3 miles 

barefoot grass run today! it felt nice! good set of striders after. i can feel the speed comeing in!

the afternoon run wasent very hot today! it was about 10 degrees cooler than normal. ran with water. lifted after. 

nice 7 miler! after 2.5 it was just me and coach, shirtless, runnin up bluff! it was a magical excpirience.... but he dident have very many interesting storys and i dident have any dumb ones (cuz i dont have good stories apparantly) and we just kinda ran i guess. the turn around was at the top of a longis hill and all the way back thrugh st g we were running a good 6:40 to 7ish pace! it was quick and i still felt good doing it! looks like im getting into a shapeish state of shapelyness! thats a good sign

it was tough but i woke up early and just ran parkway before i went up to the mountain. i was really tireed cuz i was up late and the run felt allrigh, nothin very special. the drizzle felt good though!

did our long run out into the feilds. i felt pretty good considering the fact it was 10 miles! the last mile and a half weere the toughest parts though. i stoped when i was about to barf. i dident feel that it was worth barfing over so i just stoped and let my stomach settle. the only real problems i felt was my stomach and my breathing got pretty hard the last 2 miles or so. got home and drank a gatoraid so my electrolites are bueno:)

had a nice easy 4 mile run today. hit some nice paces on the dirt mile. felt some sharp pains in the side and up where the neck meets the shoulder. ive been getting used to it. ran about a mile at kids club. it was hot and everyone was geting anoying except me;) my hip flexor still feels a little sore post run.

i dident do my double today because i ate some jerky (homemade) ...lots of it...like 15 peices and my crap is... crappy and my tummy hurts. i also havent been drinking lots today accidentaly. i just realised that.  i also had a 32 oz soda today too. 

saw this online but havent watched it yet but it looks good! ill watch it when my internet connection gets better. its a xc season thingy or something. dang it wont let me copy paste! well this tablet isent as good of a computer as a actual computer.....weird. oh well go to youtube and search "cross country running - The Anthology" and the cover is a image of the start of a girls race i belive. ya but watch it! i know i will someday!

dang kind of a pathetic week! missed both workouts and was very down from everyone elses mileage! oh well... i ran down turtle train for a 7 miler today. it was pretty hot! the latst mile was the worst comeing into the humid neighborhood. on the way back tyson or tallon littlefeild i forgot wich rode past me on a bike ride. we talked for a bit he was going my way. it felt compareitavly good! whyle i was up at youth conference the last 2 days desert hells was our nextdoor cabin on their high altitude camp! crazy eh? they just go up for 2 days though in a boreing cabin...lame!  they left just a few hours after i found out though. excited for camp! its gunna be fun!

nice morning run. packed for camp after.

6 miles up at camp. altras made my feet sore. dont really like them at all 

the 12 miles in the morning wwere actually really good! its all mental i believe:) the last 3 were tough however being all 3

3 in the afternoon. soooo sore!!! 

3 miles uphill in the morning, nice easy run back. 

3 in the afternoon.

not to shabby 

nice, quick, 4 for the last run up at camp.

i really wanted to just do good today! comeing out of a crummy slacker week last week i really was motivated to give it my all this week! and i was doing great! the first 5 miles of our 12 miler with 3 tempo felt amazeing! i was running smooth with no cramps or anything! but then the need to crap was overwhelming.... i went about mile 5 and that kinda inturupted my smoothness. then i went at mile 7. after that i dident have to go anymore but i was just thinking how much of a wimp they all though i was being ahead of me but i was 3 miles away from the school so i just kicked it into about 6-6:30 pace untill the fire station hill but up the hill the the rest of the uphill untill the end i kept it at under 7! it hurt alot though but i had to finish the tempo. coach told me to stop at 10 though. after i got home i ran a mile with my siblings though, so i guess  thats better than nothing. i guess for what i did it was good, but i wish i could haave just stayed up with them! im sick of haveing all these lame excuses. oh well. ive still got afternoon practice too and that should be good. and im looking forward to the race on wednesday! iim just wanting to get into the 17 minutes being the first race and getting into things again. should be good!
