A run begins the moment you forget you are running

am-60 min w/hard finish

Felt really nice, I wasn't too far behind Alli, so I caught her and stayed with her the rest of the way. then Caroline and I sped up a bit and did the hard finish, it felt really nice and was a good push for me

pm-30 min

TREASURE! some of the team did the Treasure trail run, which is c-r-a-z-y! but it was soo worth it. the girls went down 10 minutes, up 14, then ran around up at the top for 6. I felt suprisingly strong on this trail. it's kind of a straight up and down, but I was able to keep a good pace during it all. I'm so glad I did it.

am-30 min

I was sooo sore from yesterday, it was pretty hard for me today

am-45 min w/20 tempo;striders

Today was a huge struggle for me. But it helped me to realize that if I can just give it one more push to stay with the group, it's easier in the end because then I don't get way behind. The group helped me a lot by encouraging me to stick with them, so that was nice.

am-45 min w/long hills

Got up super early to go on a run because I couldn't make it to practice. Felt nice, was a bit slower than usual for me

am-PV Time Trial #1

My goal for this race was to get in the top 7 for the girls. I was sooo determined. I really want to race varsity this year

Started out strong with a good group of us girls. But eventually most of them fell off. Carli and I stuck together the whole time, which was nice because it was a good push for me. I was in spot number 7 when I started the last lap, but then Caroline had a great kick and passed me, Carli, and Megan. When we got the last about 200 meters, Carli and I were battling it out, and it was a really close one. I finished .2 seconds in front of her, but I found out later that I kind of ran her into a tree a little bit toward the end....(not on purpose) So I felt really bad about that. Carli prolly would've beat me if that hadn't happened.

From this race I learned that I can actually push a lot harder than I thought I could. I wanted top 7 today, but was scared to want it because I didn't know if I could get it. But I raced positive, and even though I barely missed it, I can tell that this race is gonna be a big help to next week's race if I can just remember how I felt after today and how close I was to my goal. 

Good job everyone!

am-.5 warmup;50 min;5x1000s

I actually kept my pace really well today. I got faster on all of them except the very first was fast. my times were: 5:04, :11, 4:51, :51, 46

pm-30 min

SO hot!

am-53 min run w/ hard finish

Felt pretty nice today, the hard finish was really strong. I really enjoyed the direction we went today

am-30 min

Went super early, so it was really nice and cool outside. Very refreshing run for me

pm-10 min warm;7x800s

I didn't finish the whole workout today. I was disappointed, but my inhaler was all out, and I did not feel very good. I was starting to get really dizzy, and figured it would be best to just cut it a little bit short. I don't know what any of my times were though

am-25 min

pm-45 min total;Cedar RACE

Did not do near as well as I'd hoped. 50 seconds slower than my PR, and 3 spots behind where I wanted to out of our team's girls. But, I raced my definite hardest, so I'm happy with it. I'm keeping a positive attitude in hopes that I can earn a varsity spot this year. After the race I threw up a little bit, and my right hip hurt really bad. But it felt nice to get the first race out and done

am-25 min

pm-easy 30 w/8xstriders

felt really good today. Easy Sandberg's with Carli. During striders Carli and I took turns watching each other to check the other's form, so that was nice to find out what I need to work on

pm-10min warmup;5x100s w/3 min recovery

Goal time-5:26. I stayed pretty consistent. times were: 5:21 :10 :20 :15: 25. I hit right by my goal time each one, so that was good. I didn't know if I was going to do the whole workout today because I haven't been feeling very well this week. I've had a headache everyday, and my legs have been killing. But this was a way good confidence-builder for me because it turned out much better than I had expected. :)

pm-1 mile warm/cool;race

Desert Relays-Caroline, Megan and I were a team. I was the third leg. My goal for the race was to not let anyone pass me. I ran the whole thing with Piper, she's a speedy one for sure. She really helped to push me a lot. Our team came in 4th for the high school girls. 

am-RUNATHON!

I had a blast! I ran a total of about 5 miles. Really enjoyed getting to know some of the members of our team better :)

am-rest

didn't go to morning practice because I've been sick the past couple days and needed a break. It's also been hard for me to breathe

pm-45 min

45 min through the school because it was so stormy outside and we couldn't practice. Had fun running through the halls, fell off the group a couple times, but I found them :)

am-25min

felt pretty good, it was really hard to breathe, I think because I was sick and still have a bit of a cough

pm-45 min w/8xstriders

Hills were KILLER!!! Megan, Brianna, and I went a pretty strong pace, my thighs were burning! Striders after felt alright.

am-25min

Legs killed, and my breathing was really bad

pm-10minwarm;3x1000w/3minrecovery

My legs were really hurting bad all day at school, along with a new pain I've developed in my knee and hip. My breathing has also been really bad. So I did 3 1000s, time goal: 5:36. Times, 5:18 :23 :11. So I was hitting time about right. I hope I can feel better and race well this week at SUU.

pm-40min w/steady state 20 min

Felt alright for the 10 warmup, started the steady state, and it was really hard. I feel like I pushed through the pain alright, but my knee has just really been bothering me. I hope that it's just this week that's rotten, and that I'll be back in the groove of it all next week and not feel so bad. But it's weeks like this that just really help me know what to do to improve.

pm-40min:pre-race w/4x200s

Felt SOOOO good today! My knee didn't hurt at all! and my legs finally stopped killing me :) 200s after felt nice. Coach Roberts came back to direct the 2nd group of girls where to go at a turn, and I went with him when he went to start getting back up to that first group. It was a pretty fast pace for me, but it felt nice to be just cruisin' along without hurting too bad. We closed a lot of distance, and caught up to Megan, then the three of us ran a good solid pace the rest of the way to Sandberg's. Awesome run for me

RACE-The race was not very good for me, I was about 2 minutes slower than my PR, and not where I wanted to be at all. Stuck with Brianna E for the first couple laps, then she fell off. I started my kick in the third lap, thinking I was almost done, but still had a whole 'nother lap, and so I died alot the last lap and Annelise, and Brianna L. caught up to me. I hope that I can just get where I want, I really want to be doing so much better than I have been these past couple races. But I finished 18th overall, and I think that my main goals for this season are as follows: Race at least one varsity race, and get top 10 at Region. I'm working for it, and it's reachable if I keep working hard

am-30 easy

pm-45min;7x800s

Felt alright today. I stayed with the group pretty well for the first 5 repeats, but on repeats 6 and 7 I died, and struggled a lot

30 minutes through the school due to bad weather

am-30 minutes

Decided to do an Indian run today to help us stay grouped together better, it was tons of fun and I felt great

pm-Time trial #2

I did not do well today at all. I really died, and struggled immensely. My time was 16:44, wayyyyy slow for me. 2x1 mile repeats afterward. It was weird runing a workout after our race. but it will be helpful for me

am-30 min

Indian run: #2! Felt really good, and we stayed together the whole time very well. I think that runs like this will really help us group better during races

pm-3xsandy hills;4xstriders

Ran to the sand hills, and ran the first two hill repeats with the girls. by the time I was done with the second, I was so dizzy and couldn't breathe. It's never been so hard for me to breathe ever before. So I took a break to catch my breath and clear my head while the girls did their theird, then I joined again on the last one. The last one was better for me, I was still struggling to breathe even on the way back to the high school, and my stomache hurt super bad, so I did 4xstriders, which felt great. These past couple weeks have been weird for me. 

am-30 min

pm-40 min w/15 tempo

Felt pretty nice, Irene stayed with Carli and I really well for the tempo

am-50min w/strong finish

I had a work meeting I had to go to, so I ran 15 minutes before all the girls met together. Then I ran 18 minutes of the shoe run, and turned around with Addi.
