A run begins the moment you forget you are running

Felt SOOOO nice to be back and running with the team. .5 barefoot warmup. Did a 30 minute run, made it a little bit more than 3 miles. This run felt so spectacular, I felt like it was a push-hard, stay-strong run for me. I was able to keep a good steady pace with Brianna and Kaelie. 

.5 barefoot warmup. Went out to the tortquoise trail. This run didn't feel near as well as yesterday's, and on the way back I developed super bad stomach cramps and fell off the main group I was running with.

I didn't get to stay for the running club because I had to go to work, but I'm excited to be over the 3rd and 4th boys :) it'll be a blast

.5 barefoot warmup w/35 min run. 

Felt pretty good as we got farther into the run. I ran with Brianna, and we did the fire station loop. My calves were still hurting pretty bad from the past couple days, but felt good once we got about 1.5 miles into the run.

.5 barefoot warmupw/30 min barefoot run

barefoot runs are my absolute favorite! Today felt super nice and relaxed

.5 barefoot warmup w/35 min w/strong finish

Brianna and I started out, and turned back a little late, so we ended up going about 40 minutes. Felt really nice, and we had about a 1 mile strong finish back to the park. The air felt super fresh and clean on the run today.

30 min run

Didn't feel very well today. I wasn't going at a very good pace or anything, but I got in a little more than 3 miles.

.5 barefoot warmup w/30 min run w/10 min tempo

I was really nervous for today's tempo run, but I actually did pretty well. Coach's talk before about going with the group really inspired me to keep up with the pack of girls that are usually not very far ahead. I was able to stay with Coach Roberts and the other girls up to the dirt mile, plus one lap. Then we started our 10 min tempo, and Carli and I fell back a bit. But we kept pushing it hard, and finished very strong. This was one of my best runs by far. I usually can't keep up with Carli and the others very long, but today I was witht ehm most of the time.

.5 barefoot warmup/30 min easy run/kids club

am-Today was an okay day. I didn't feel good, but not bad either. Kids' Club was interesting. I'm over 3rd and 4th boys....they're CRAZY, but it was fun :)

pm-it was soooo hot! I died. I had to take a couple breaks in the shade. Did some yoga when I got back, it felt fantastic

.5 barefoot warmup;35 min run

15 min run through the neighborhood, then did 20 barefoot on the baseball field. Felt good today, got about 3.5ish miles today during the barefoot run

.5warmup;6strong3recover x3

am-the girls started the workout before I got back from my warmup, so I didn't start with them. I tried to catch up to some of the girls, and I ended up running with Brianna and Annelise. Felt good and strong today. I really enjoyed this workout

pm-I died! I had to stop a lot and take tons of breaks. but I did remember to bring a water bottle this time. I did a little barefoot running at the 2450 E park by my house, and I think I stepped on some sort of bug or something that bit/stung me because now my foot's a little swollen and it really hurts to walk....so practice tomorrow morning will be interesting

Felt nice today. I ran with Annelise, the trail was really hilly, but we killed them all :)

I was gone for a family reunion at California, I tried to get all my runs in...that didn't happen, but I did the best that I could with the time I had.

easy 3-California air and fog felt so nice for my lungs. My breathing felt super good

ran barefoot on the beach for a little bit. Felt fantastic! I loved it so much. I got some fartleks in too

easy 3 up through town in San Diego. Felt pretty good, my breathing was a little bit raspy today

.5 barefoot warmup;30 min;15 tempo

Felt okay today, I didn't stay with coach the whole time, but he did fall back and run with me and some of the others who fell off and encouraged us to get back up. It was a good push for me today. The level two girls that aren't varsity grouped up very nicely for this run. I think if we can start grouping like that more often, we'll be able to push each other harder and will improve together. 

.5 barefoot warmup;30 min;6 min test;kids' club

Felt okay today. I finished 1 full lap with 486 extra. I wasn't too far behind Carli and Kaelie, but I still wish I 'd pushed up with them.

.5 warmup;40 min run;street and barefoot

Started with 20 minutes through the neighborhood, and ended with 20 min barefoot on the grass. My legs have been killing all this week, so I took it slightly slower than usual. 

am-50 min w/hard finish

Today wasn't the best, but I felt pretty good too. My legs weren't hurting very much, so that's good

pm-30 min

felt nice, I went when it was super overcast so it wasn't too hot

other-yoga! Felt fantastic!

45 min w/5x4min cruise intervals

Met up at the high school today with Kaelie and Brianna because Kaelie and I had HOPE squad training we had to go to. Felt pretty good. We took turns leading the group. Today was a nice push for me, I was able realize some of the areas I can definitely work on this season

easy 30 min

am-.5 barefoot warmup;45 min w/20 tempo

I was super nervous, maybe even a little bit doubtful, coming into this run. But I kept a positive attitude about it, and decided that there was NO way I wasn't staying up with my group. I was determined to stay with them for the whole time. And... I DID! thinking about it just makes me smile :) I love the feeling I get after a good run. Carli helped me out a lot today on it because there were just a few times that I fell back a couple feet, and Carli would help me get back up with our group. But I felt pretty good, and this was by far the best tempo ever.

pm-20 easy minutes

I couldn't go the full 30 because it got too dark, and so I had to head home, but it felt really nice
