We ran Coral Canyon.  Bleck!  Remind me to never run there again!  It was practically all hills!  But I survived, I guess that's all that matters.  It was nice to run with Roberts, because when he talks the whole time the run seems to go a lot faster!  Umm...I ate some cheerios before I ran?  Not sure what else I'm supposed to write on here...so bye!

We ran Green Springs (blame JP) and it was okay.  Felt better than the last 6 mile Green Springs.  Although, I was miffed that we had striders afterwards!  But it was okay, I guess.  Oh, and I ate a cheese stick and a rice crispy treat for breakfast (is that okay with you Burt?) ;)

We ran in the grass today, my absolute favorite!...*cough* *cough*  It actually went by pretty fast, but my feet got all cut up and they kinda hurt!  And that's concludes my complaining for todays run!  And I ate cheerios ( I know, I know, babies eat cheerios...)...and yes Burt, whoever you may be, I will continue to make fun of you!  the end!

Today I ran at the Pine View Park, my favorite (I really mean it this time!).  It was a great run!  Nothing to really complain about!  BUT....JP did keep showing me all the roadkill...that wasn't too pleasant!  The End!

We ran Hell Hole today...enough said.

Fine, fine...i'll right more....It was quite nice to have Kaylee back for a change!  I've missed her a lot!  That was about the only good thing about the run...oh, and I found a penny in a laundromat that we stopped at to use its facilities!  Yeah...and I ate oatmeal!  Chocolate Chip oatmeal to be exact!  Alright, I better stop...I'm burnt out from writing 6 whole sentences....

This morning we ran on the dirt track.  It was okay, not my favorite, but okay!  Me and Mia biked home! And since it was all down hill, Mia freaked out because it was too fast! :)  And I ate some cereal that looks like worm poo waded up (lovely mental picture, right?)!  The End!

 

Wait!  Just Kidding!  Because guess what?  We got to run some more today!  Yay!  Me and Mia biked AGAIN...and this time it was slightly uphill...so we complained the whole time to each other!  The run wasn't too bad and neither was lifting...but the ride back home killed us!  I don't know why, but we were totally beat (hmm...maybe its because you had to workout twice in a day, Rachel!!!)  The best part about the ride home was some horses that we petted (I know it's not a word, I'm too tired to care!) and we went through this broken sprinkler that was conveniently spraying the sidewalk!  ...now its really the end...partly because I've been staring this ad on my computer screen for 10min. that reads 'Marathons Are Boring.'...and partly because I have nothing else to say!

Today was a good day!  I thought we were going to have to run 7 but coach, being the kind man he is, decided to give us a break!  Me and Mia fed some poptarts from the free breakfast thingy to the horses on our way back.  They seemed to enjoy it!  The end!

We ran on the grass today.  It wasn't too bad mostly because we only had 9 laps...thanks to JP! :)  I ate the worm poo cereal again!  Oh, and our horses were at the other end of the field today so we couldn't feed them the carrots that we brang for them...what a shame!  And yes JP...I know that I just said 'brang'...deal with it!

Today I wasn't able to go to morning because I had a Yard Sale to manage...and yes, it was very important!  But I did come to afternoon practice!  It felt fine, although a little too hot!  And weight training was fine too!  The end!  

(Your probably thinking 'What the?  Rachel didn't even complain that much!  Amazing!'  Well...just to letcha know, I CAN be in a good mood towards running...sometimes.....more like rarely!  But anyways...now its really the end!)

Is the world ending?  Am I seeing things?  Did I eat my grandmas poisoned cat food?  No, no, no...I really ran on a Saturday!!!!  *Cheering*  Yes, yes...I'm quite proud of myself too!  I woke up at 7 (unlike some people who sleep in until 12! *cough* ..jp..*cough*) and I set off to go running!  All by my lonesome :(  I had a hard time keeping my pace without anyone to run with...and I no one to talk to!  I spent my time thinking about BB guns, tubas, biting dogs and trying to figure out what 'OBO' means.  I only ran 4 because I'm recovering from girls camp, and honestly it felt harder than it should.  By the time I had finished my run I was convinced I had run 6...but to my dismay, it was only 4!  Oh, and my ankle hurts....it feels like a shin splint on my ankle.  An ankle shplint?  I don't know...any advice coaches?  The End!

Today's run was okay...we ran....I can't think of the name...that's gonna bug me the whole day!  Ugh!  Anyways, I was feeling a little nervous to run 5 after a whole week of partying at girls camp!  But I survived!  I felt pretty good throughout the whole run but by the end me and JP had a pity party of tiredness together!  Striders were bleh...as usual.  And the ride home was grand!  Me and Mia fed our best friends some apples!  They seemed to enjoy them!  And we named three of them...wanna here their names?  We're pretty pro at naming horses...so just keep that in mind!  Their names are Flyeye, Rawnose, and Smoothgroove!  I know, I know, there great names, huh?  Probably blew your mind away!  Anyways, the horses kept yawning and mia was sure that they were trying to huck a loogie at her!  haha...I love that girl!

 After a long drive up to camp we ran 3 more!  Yay!  The run actually seemed short and it was so pretty up there that I didn't notice the run much!

Today we ran 9!  This is a new record for Rachel's little legs!  The rain wasn't too bad, it just got annoying after a while!  And the mud was...just dandy!  We were slipping all over the mountian!  The run wasn't too bad on the way out...we even saw a crawling snake! ;)  The run back however was just bleh!  I wasn't feeling too good but by the time we got to the lake I started feeling great...then I felt horrible.  It was quite the bipolar run!

 

Wasn't too excited for the afternoon 3-mile!  But it wasn't that bad...I was just a little tired from the 9 mile we had earlier!

Today we ran 5...I felt like crap!  I didn't get any food before I ran so I felt like my stomach was eating itself!  And to make matters worse the run was uphill both ways...in the snow...with bears eating our shoes...okay, okay...maybe not!  But it was uphill half the way and we did tell bear stories...the snow was just a lie.  We had to stop multiple times because my stomach disappeared and we couldn't breathe!  The way back was fine because it was mostly down hill!  

 

The 3 mile felt really long!  I was just really poopled....haha, I mean pooped from running 2 times a day the past 2 days!

Todays run was nasty...probably the worst one of the week!  It was just long and flat, and it seemed to take forever to get to the turnaround...did I mention how long it felt?  In the middle of the run, I had to use the facilities...wait!  There are no facilities because we were way out in the boonies!  So I had to use a poor little tree!  And I took my sweet time because I felt so tired!!!  But we eventually got back...it just took us 5 years! ;)

I know, I know...we were supposed to run 6!  But I almost got stolen and I couldn't get the courage to go back outside to finish up!  I'm being serious!  It's a rare occasion when Rachel is serious...and today is one of those rare occasions!  The run was fine...I passed some cows and their poo was cooking in the hot sun so it was just a pungent, putrid, nasty smell!  But other than that I felt great the whole run!  Probably because Mrs. Pete gave me a yummy protien shake....Whats that?  You want to hear how I was almost stolen?  Well, if you insist!  

Okay so I was running...obviously...and I was almost done!  I just had to get to my house and run around the neighborhood once!  But this big white van comes slowly by me while I ran so I look over and they're just staring at me!  So I was a little worried and so I pretended to get out my phone and talk on it!  Then the van stopped in front of a neighborhood outlet intersection thing.  So I stopped because I thought he was trying to turn or something...but he just sat there for a few seconds then goes slowly up to the next neighbor outlet intersection thing and parks right in the middle of it!  I'm starting to freak out so I cross the road and the van turns around so I go down this random sidewalk that leads to a neighborhood and I hide behind a wall and I can see them going down the road and then I thought they had seen me because they turn around again!  So I start running through the neighborhood...and by now I was like praying like crazy!  I thought I was gonna die!  Eventually I run out onto the main road again and I just booked it home!  BUT, the van came by with big guns hanging out the window trying to shoot me!  ...Okay that last part was a lie!  I ran home and I didn't see them again!  Scary, huh?  Well that's the end of my story...sorry if you were dissapointed with it!
