Stoner's Runs!

AM-the usual three

PM- Today we had ten 400's! Ten I say!  Ten!  This is madness!..actually it wasn't too bad.  My pace was 1:24 and I got 1:24 on most of them...I can't remember.  As I ran some dude called me and JP cute so JP went over and starts flirting! sheesh!  No, we were running!  There's no time for that junk!  

Today we met at 6 to go on our run just for mia's sake.  It was kinda quiet but we started playing 20 questions then we all wouldn't shut up!  It was a really fun run and I'm glad I got it over with so early in the morning! ...got the run over with...not the other kind of 'over with'...just to clarify.

AM-Ran with Mia last minute so she wouldn't be alone.  I thought I was supposed to get 5:16's again for the mile repeats. 5:16's?  What am I thinking!  I mean 6:16's!  But my time went up and I was unaware and am truly sorry coach.   But my times were 6:16, 6:16, 6:16 then 6:20. 

PM-Ran 3 out to Hot Nails aks Cold Hammers.  Get it?  See what I did there?  Do you get it?  Anyways, it was a good run and afterwards I did striders

AM-Ran the 8 mile tempo with JP, Megan, and Mia.  We tried to stick to our pace...but I'm pretty sure the watch broke or something.  Actually we couldn't really even see the watch because it was so dark and mia didn't remember how to turn the light on.  We did our best though and tried our best to get the right pace. 

PM-Ran 3 with the JaPeeZee and plyos afterwards.  Then I waited forever and got an Icee! Thanks JP!

Ran twelve 400's.  It was just grand...I felt a little stiff on the first couple but then I got more warmed up and used to them.  I was aiming to hit 1:24 and I got 1:25, 1:23, 1:22, 1:22, 1:24, 1:23, 1:23, 1:24, 1:22, 1:24, 1:23, 1:23.  Whew!  My heart rate was 100, 100, 105. Twas a good workout!

AM-Ran a normal 3 with plyos afterwards.

PM-Ran 5 out to the firestation.  It went by pretty quick and we got to show Ali and Megan the lovely doll head tree...turns out that Aubrey secretly lives there!  Twas a good run.  Except for the part where these weird boys kept yelling at JP and trying to get her number!  JP almost did but I pulled her away!  Afterwards JP and I did long jump practice. 

Later PM-I ran to my neighbors to get sponsor money and I'm counting it for mileage.  Sue me.

AM- Just three.

PM-Ran hills...mmm...tasty.  We had 8 to do and all was well and then coach told me I had to do 10!  But honestly, they weren't that bad and the girls cheered for me which really helped.  It was a good run...for the most part! 

Met up with Mia, Liz, and ...i think that was it.  We ran 6 to green springs and included 2 miles of tempo.  It was kinda fun and Mia kept trying to sneak up on me but she's just too noisy!  Twas a good run!

Ran in the morning with Jon (my sisters husband...not some romantic interest...fyi)  I got my 20 minutes of tempo in but I wasn't able to do my full mileage because we had to get going to Provo!  Felt pretty good and kept a good pace for the entire thing.  Jon said I was between 6:15 and 6:20 for the entire tempo

Ran with Jon again at night.  I did 2 sets of hills. 800, 400, then a 200.  I wasn't able to do all three because it was getting dark and Jon had to go...lame excuses, i know.  But I felt kinda poopy...maybe from sitting in the car so much.  I think my pace was a lot faster than usual because I didn't want to look like a wimp in front of Jon so I felt like a pushed a little harder than usual.

Ran 5 800's at race pace with the team.  It was quite the workout and it really wore me out!  But it was good other than that.  Plyos afterwards

Ran 4 miles easy then we had 4 200 sprints afterwards.  It was just grand!  I felt pretty good the whole time

Kanab Invite today!....and its my birthday!  I started by running the 2 mile.  I felt really good and stuck on this girl the whole time and sprinted her out the last 200.  My time was 11:43 and qualified me for state!  Wahoo!  Afterwards I did the long jump...pahaha.  what a joke.  I jumped a 13' something...and came in 13th place actually!  Which is much better than I expected!  After I ran the 1 mile and I didn't feel AS great as I did in the 2 mile.  I passed these 2 girls the last 200 and got 1st in that one as well with a time of 5:38.  Not my best...but I think it was because I was tired.  A little after that I had the 800 in the medley and by this time I was just ready to go home.  I wasn't feeling that great and was out of energy but I did my best and was able to pass a girl.  It was a fun yet very tiring meet!  The highlight was when Coach and Paul so kindly gave me cookies as a birthday gift!

AM-3 in thee morn. 

PM-Ran mile repeats today!  My time I was trying to hit was 6:08 and I got 6:03, 6:07, 6:08 and 6:07.  So it was a good hard workout.  Running with the boys really pushes me...even though they get in the way sometimes!  But coach really helped me out and he even served as my personal drafter!  Weights afterwards.

AM-threesies to arctic circle

PM-Ran to sandburgs!  I absolutely love this run!  We dipped our legs in...we were going to jump in but some girl...I won't say names but she's kinda asian and has medium long brown hair and a dazzling smile...anyways, this anonymous girl wouldn't jump in with me so we just got out and ran back.  It was a fun run though! 

AM-good ol' 3 to arctic circle

PM-Ran 5 800's today!  And boy it was a tough workout.  I kept trying to think like it was a mini race and I need to just relax and push but my legs felt kinda worn out and I wasn't doing as well as I usually do.  My time I was to get was 2:48 and I got 2:50, 2:50, 2:52 then a 2:46.  The last one coach helped me a butt load and had me sprint it in.  It was hard but good to end the workout on a good note like that.  Afterwards we had weights 

AM-Ran 3 but felt really tired and worn out.

PM-Still felt really worn out but jumping in Sandburgs helped. We also had striders. Oh, and Ali found a gun in the pond!...pretty cray cray stuff!

AM-Ran the usual 3

PM- Pine View Invite!  I was super super super nervous...which hasn't happened in a long while..which made me even more nervous!  We ran DI loop before and then checked in blah blah blah.  I felt pretty good the whole time but it felt really fast (duh.) and I felt like I was pushing pretty hard.  I knew I had to kick at the end and get Canyon View, and I was able to.  And I got a new PR by 5 seconds!  So that was good!  And frida came!!!  Pretty much the best day of my life!  No Joke!

2nd day of the Invite!  I ran the DI loop with all the girls then checked in and warmed up and such.  I didn't feel as nervous today.  Maybe because Frida was there calming me down!  In the seeded 2 mile I could feel myself kinda settling with the Timpanogos girl but coach yelling at me got me back to pushing and passing girls.  I tried to pick up my pace the last lap and I kicked at the 200 and was able to pass 3 more girls including a Park City girl! which doesn't happen everyday!  I was pretty happy with it and I got 9th overall which was better than my mile placing and I also got a new PR of 11:30!  

My next race was the medley and I wasn't really nervous for this one as much.  I felt really good although I should have passed that girl sooner but other than that, it felt pretty good!  I think my split was a 2:36 

AM-3 in the morning 

PM-Ran the Harts warm up and had 4 1200's to do.  My time that I needed to get on my 400's was 1:30 and 1:26-1:28 on the third lap.  The first 3 I kept getting the same time on the third lap and I couldn't get myself to speed up. Frida paced me on my 4th one and helped me by a ton and I got a 1:27 for that 3rd lap.  After those we had 2 300sprints.  They were kinda hard and wore me out.  By the time we did the Harts cool down I was dead and pooped out!  Weights afterwards.

AM-3 to Arctic Circle.  Still worn out from yesterday. Also had plyos after the 3.

PM-Ran 4 with the boys to Green Springs.  I loved running with the boys!  it was just so much fun and I can't wait to do it again!;)...but it really wasn't that bad.  It was a good run and afterwards we did striders and then helped with the meet!   OH and how could I forget!  Aubrey, Liz and Megan found a baby hummingbird and so I picked it up and we all safely put him in a place where he'd be okay!  His name was Pip-squeak and was the cutest thing in the whole wide world!  

AM-Today we had a workout in the morning!  Say what?  Yeah, I was caught off guard and had only drunk some milk for a mini breakfast!  If I had known I would've had eggs, toast, bacon, orange juice with lots of pulp, a muffin, two helpings of oatmeal and a dash of hash browns.  Okay, maybe not that much food but I wished I had eaten more than just milk.  We ran pizza hut warm up and I had 12 200's.  The first six were supposed to be 41 seconds but me and Aubrey kept hitting 40sec. pretty consistently.  The next 6 needed to be 1-2 seconds faster and Aubrey and I did fine on those as well.  My very last two I was alone so I kinda went a bit faster than needed...but oh well.  I got 34sec. then 31sec.  I credit the 31sec. to the boys because they pushed me a ton and as I ran by coach I'm 80% sure he said "Go with the boys" ...that, or he said "Toes give me joys"...and I'm assuming he said the first one...but you never know with Holt!  

PM- Ran 4 to Sandburgs and had 4 200's afterwards.  I felt worn out on the run.  Probably from this morning's workout but other than that it was a great run!

AM- Ran the usual 3 to arctic circle

PM-Hurricane Invite today!  We all warmed up and waited forever for the race to start!  We ended up warming up like 5 times because it was just taking so long!  Eventually the race started and I got cut off and had to jump up so I wouldn't get tripped but I got up to Kamryn and stuck right with her.  I kept with her on the first two laps then on the third I passed her and didn't really see her again.  And on the final lap I picked up my pace and started going strong at the 300 and I started my sprint at the 200.  Coach was yelling my time on the last 100 straightaway so that helped me give everything left that I had so I could get a good time.  It was a good race and I'm glad I was able to get a new PR of 5:28 but I'm determined next time to not let myself stick behind people when I should be around them.  I feel like its a subliminal wall that I'm unconsciously afraid to pass people and just go off.  But I'm going to break it! :)

AM-Today we had 8 with 20 min tempo.  It started out really good and felt fine and flippin Frida was just cruising along right by me!  She's such a beast!  But anyways she kept me at a good pace of around 6:30 and I was needing 6:28's so it was really close.  From the turnaround to the end I really tried to push the tempo and keep it at a good pace but it stayed around 6:34.  We stopped and waited for the other girls and then ran back which felt kinda long but not too bad since we were all talking.

PM-Ran 3.83...I was assured by some swedish girl that it would only be 3 but, unfortunately, I was lied to!  Frida and I met at the fields and Mia met us at her corner then Liz met us at hers and we all ran back around the hill to the MacLellans house and by that time I had run 3.83 which isn't all that bad.  It was kinda hot out today, but a good run!   

Today we met up at Frida's and ran around down by Mia's and over to my house and at my house we started our 10min. tempo.  It felt pretty nice and I think I kept a good pace for the whole thing.  It ended going up a hill so that was kind of tough but it wasn't too bad.  Hooray for no doubles today!
