A run begins the moment you forget you are running

am-.5barefoot warmup;30 min;30/30 workout;kids' club

My goal was to get in all the 30/30 sets that would fit with my time for today, so that meant 20. I felt really good today. The group I'm with was going 5 cones per "on" set, and 2.5 for the "off". I was able to stick with the group the whole time, which was nice. At the very end, it was just me, Carli, and Coach Roberts.We hit our distance everytime spot on, then Carli dropped back a bit, and Coach encouraged me to get 6 cones on the last set, which I did, so that was good :) Great workout, good job everyone!

am-.5barefoot warmup;40 min-20 grass, 20 road

Felt pretty nice today, especially from the workout yesterday

pm-30 min

Went with Irene, it was SOOO hot! But it felt nice to get out there

am-.5 barefoot warmup;cruise intervals-1,2,3x2

Wasn't expecting the workout to be as hard as it was. It was nice having both of the coaches there to help push us. There were a couple that I pushed it and stayed with Maskerem and Josie, but when I wasn't with them, I was toward the middle or back of the group. But overall it was a good workout, I think I just need to learn how to distribute my speed evenly for next time.

am-I woke up at 4 30 today and met Liz at the high school at 5 so that we could get our run in before our family plans. Felt really, really nice

am-50 min w/hard finish

Met up at the high school with some of the other girls. Felt great outside, it was really cloudy so it wasn't too hot.

pm-easy 20 minutes

Felt pretty good. Kaelie, Mary Anne, and I ran together. It was a nice strong push for me

Easy 30 with Kaytlin. Ran some more of the really hard hills. felt pretty good today, I saw a dead snake, it was kinda gross....

Couldn't run this morning because we got up early to pack up everything. I ran when I got back around 2, and it was SO hot! Just went 20 because I wasn't feeling too well at all.

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

20 min out around the neighborhood and 20 barefoot on grass. Followed by striders. I felt really good today

pm-30 min

I went around 1ish, so it wasn't too hot, and there was actually a nice breeze, so it felt pretty nice

am-45 min;4x6min cruise intervals

Did this one super early with Kaelie and Kaytlin. Felt alright, wasn't as strong as it prolly should've been.

am-50 min w/strong finish

Ran with a bunch of girls up at youth conference. Nichole helped to pace Kaelie and I during our minutes, which was nice. It was really fast for me, but I kept up and it felt strong

pm-30 min

was really hot, but there was a breeze part of the time so that's good

am-.5warmup;45min w/15 tempo

Our tempo went down to 15 this week so that we could keep a stronger pace during all of it. Struggled staying with Coach, Carli, and Kaelie, but I stuck with them the whole time

other-weights

Felt pretty good, we went 15 through the neighborhood, and then did 20 on the grass. The striders afterward felt really nice

am-40 min

There was a nice group of us girls, and we played a fun little game thing to help the run go by faster :)

pm-30 min

It was so hot! I felt like my skin was on FIRE! But It was nice once it was over :) I realize I need to drink lots more water to stay hydrated, Nichole got super sick from dehydration today, and so I'm going to make sure I'm drinking plenty

race-Hurricane 5K

Definitely wasn't my best race ever. My time was 24:38. I was aiming for about 2 minutes less than the time I ended up with. The course was.....not my favorite. It seemed to go by really slow, but it was pretty even, so that's good. It felt nice to get out and do a race since I haven't done one for a while. It helped me know what I need to work on for this xc season.

am-.5 warmup;50 minw/longhills&strong finish

Today felt very good. There was a good group of us on our way out, then the group was bigger a little after we turned around.

am-30 min

Okay run for me, my right heel hurt a little so I iced when I got home

am-.5 warmup;45 min w/15 tempo

Tempo felt okay, there was a nice group of us, so it was easier to stay together as a group and keep our pace

other-ice

After my run, my I.T. band started hurting, so I iced it multiple times. I hope it feels better before camp

am-.25 warmup

I started to run an easy warmup, but the pain started to bother me again so I just cut it short and did only .25.

other-ice and stretch

didn't run the workout :( this workout is my favorite ever. I iced my I.T. band and stretched it really good a couple times during the day, but it's still bothering me a little.I don't know if it's something that if I run on it, it will injure it more or not, but I don't want to take the chance, so I didn't run today, and then I'll run tomorrow afternoon up at camp.

pm-20 min

Didn't go the full 30 because I wanted to make sure my I.T. band didn't hurt to bad, but it ended up feeling great, even after I got back :)

am-40 min w/LONG hills

Felt FANTASTIC!

pm-30 min

Felt really good
