A run begins the moment you forget you are running

Today was the first day that I've ran since leaving for vacation last week (hang my head in shame). I went to a high school track and ran 2 miles. I was supposed to run 3, but since I haven't run for a while (again, hang my head in shame) I didn't want to jump back into 3 just quite yet. I'll work back up to it.

AM- I ran 2 miles and it felt great!

PM- I ran 3 miles for the first time in a while, it was a little harder than usual, but still felt good to get out and run.

AM- I ran 3 miles, but skipped striders. I don't usually, but I was feeling pretty sick from just 3 miles.

I ran 3ish miles this morning. I ran the first with my little sister for her Summer mileage, then I ran the last 2 by myself.

I ran 2 miles today. I feel bad that I haven't been running as much as the rest of my level is supposed to, but I'll be back next week and run more than I have been.

AM- We did 4x1000 repeats. I forgot to look at what time I was supposed to get, so I just went off of Brianna's time, which was 6:47. I ran with Brianna and Chancie. We pushed each other and it helped me to stay up with them during the workout. On the way back to the school I had trouble keeping up with the group of girls in front of me. My times- 1) 5:37  2) 5:56  3) 5:57  4) 6:16. I think that I did well for my first time back in a while, but it was still pretty hard for me, and I had a headache after practice.

PM- I turned around at about halfway into the 3 mile run because I forgot my inhaler back at the school. After the run I went and did weights. I feel like I'm a lot more wimpier than I though I was. Hopefully in time it'll get better. 

I woke up sore from the workouts yesterday. I ran 3 miles and striders today. It felt nice, and I was able to keep up with Coach Roberts and the varsity girls for 2 miles and 1 lap. Even after I fell behind a little, I wasn't very far behind. Kids' club today was good. 

Did the 30/30 workout. It felt nice, I got 17 sets. I wasn't quite reaching my distance on the run or the recovery.

AM- Ran 4 miles with Kaelie and Chancie. It was my first time running 4 miles, and I did better than I had expected.

PM- I ran 3 miles with Kaelie, but I had to stop a couple times because I felt sick and dizzy.  

This morning was really hard. I ran 3 miles with Kaelie, Chancie, and Taylor. On the hill I ran with Skylar, and I had to walk a lot. It was tons harder than I had expected, but helped me realize what I need to work on.

A group of us- Skylar, Jason, Preston, Chandler, Megan, and I- ran 4 miles at 9 pm. It was super fun.

am- Ran 5K repeats and got way better times than the last time we did it. I stayed under 6 minutes for every one of them. My times were      5:47     5:36     5:31     5:32     5:26 

pm- Didn't make it to the run because I had a church thing, but I went and did weights after I was done. 

Did the 30/30 workout and got 16. On the mile cool-down with Megan my hip started hurting really bad. I sat down to stretch after we got back, and it was super hard to stand back up because my hip killed. It took about all the strength I had to run a warm-up with the kids and run the first race during kids' club. Now it hurts just to walk on it and I'm icing it every 10 minutes so that hopefully it's better by tomorrow.

am-Hip hurt during the warm-up and agilities. I decided to do only 2 miles today, but I didn't even make it out of the parking lot because my hip started screaming at me. I want to take it easy the next little while because I want to run at camp, and because I really want my hip to heal so that it doesn't become a bigger problem later.
