Stoner's Runs!

AM-Today we had a hill workout in Hells Hole.  Four 1min. sprints then five 30sec. sprints.  The sprints were fine and the girls really stuck to it and pushed me to go faster.  The way out of hells hole was horrible as usual!  I felt good halfway up then I felt like I had to throw up and my stomach really tightened up.  So Roberts being the good man he is, let me relax and we took it easy on the way back.

PM-I met up with Mia and JP...after creeping on Kaylee and being a great support team in her...tough times! ;)  Then we ran from the log lane church to the river and back.  Of course we jumped in!...and we may or may not have spent at least 15min. in the river.  It just felt soo nice!  and you could actually swim in it because it was flooded!  but it was also super dirty and we got 'instatans' from all the mud!  Then on our way home we found a wounded bird named 'Luck'....pretty sure Mia stepped on him!  But we sprinted to our cars...for the sake of the poor bird...and then we grabbed some towels and a basket and rescued Luck!  ...except he died. But we tried our best by feeding him and dripping water into his mouth and soon after jp and mia left he died in my arms!  It was quite the traumatic experience...i don't know if I can get over it. I buried him and made him a little headstone though. We will never forget our little friend!

AM-Today we only had 3 out to the Turtle Trail!  Hooray!  But then we had striders afterwards... Boo!

PM-Ran 3 at the school with the team and it was super sweaty...as usual.  Then we had weights and plyos...two words. Super. Sore.  

AM-Today we met up at Little Valley Park and ran hills...again!  My poor sore legs were crying for mercy!;)  We had three 30sec. sprints then five 5min. sprints.  The hill wasn't too bad and the boys actually helped me out a ton by letting me pass them!  Then we ran around 3 on the grass and learned some Japenese!  

PM-Today we ran 3 from the log lane church to the river again.  We couldn't swim for long at all because we had stuff to get going to.  It was a nice easy run though!

AM-Green pole...perhaps...kaylee said we were off on the mileage

PM-3 miles with weights and plyos...bleh!

AM-Ran dirt laps with all the ladies then kids camp.  My. very. last. one :(  I'm going to miss all those crazy kids!  

PM-3 miles

Ran 4 before I headed to the wedding!

Ran 5 with my padre!  The weather here is like 92 at NIGHT and 117 in the day!  It's ridiculous!...so as you can imagine...I was super hot, tired, dizzy and sick feeling by the time i got back!  Bleh, I hate the weather here!  And it was all on a track..so that didn't help.  But I did get to meet the coach of the school track i was running on.  So he talked to me and gave me a motivational speech about believing in yourself...so that part was cool! 

So as a nice welcome back coach provided a 1000 workout...yay!  6 of them...yay!  Me and JP pushed eachother throughout the whole thing and I got 3:40's on all 6 of them...which is quite consistent if you ask me!  It was a pretty good workout...considering I havent been able to run that often.

AM-Today we did three 2min fast, 1min recovery then four 400 fast with 30 second recovery.  They went well and i felt pretty good about all of them.  

 PM-Ran an easy 3 after our first day of school!

Am- Had 4miles in the morning

PM- Had 3miles plus striders. My legs are kinda tight!

AM 3 miles plus four 200's.  Mia was on my butt the whole time!  ...see mia, you CAN sprint! :)

PM: 3 miles green springs. Supah sweaty so we stopped for water here and there

My first race!  It was alright.  I knew I needed to stay with Aimee but I didn't...but that's not saying I won't get her next race!  I realized how much I need JP to help push me and keep up a fast pace!  After I finished the Hurricane girl almost barfed on my shoes...horrible way to end a race! ;)  Anyways, not my best..but i'm just going to keep improving!

AM- 6x 3min w/ 3min recovery and pizza hut warm and cool. It was a hard workout and I felt pretty good but my last one I kinda pooped out...whoops!  

PM-3 easy to sandburgs! Yay!  my favoritest run eva!  It was a PRIOB run.

AM-Ran 4 to Starbucks..one of my legs is UBER tight...and tends to scream bloody murder.  It was a good pace except when that gosh darn martha pushes us!

PM-We had 4.5 warm up which was nice and easy.  Then we had our Team Time Trial which I thought went well.  But once again...I'm missing that JP girl because she pushes me so much!  I was a loner for most the race and had no one but my imaginary friends to help me out ;)

Ran 5miles out to Target with fartleks..fartlicks..fartlecks...I dont know!  But it was pouring...okay it was sprinkling but for us St. Georgians it felt like it was pouring.   By the end we were thoroughly soaked!  I ran with Megan and Nicole and I must say it was one of the funner workouts!  Both girls did awesome and before we knew it, we were done!

AM-Ran 4 with JP and Mia

PM-Ran 3 with striders afterwards and weights and plyos and all that good stuff!  ...pretty sure this is the biggest my muscles have ever been in my life!...but that isn't saying too much

AM-Ran 3 with most the ladies and 4x200 sprints afterwards.  

PM-Ran 3 again and whew was it hot!

One of my favoritest races!  The start was a bit more nerve-racking than usual with Cam Levin's gun not working then a false start because the time didn't start...bleh, I like it when the start goes fast...and this one didn't.  Our start was kinda slow and me and JP both know that we need to work on getting to the front at the beginning.  I think I took coach's 'take it easy on this uphill' a little too much to heart...because I should've pushed it and got in that front pack as soon as I could've instead of waiting...next time though!  I'm determined to do better!  The whole race felt really good overall and I'm positive I can push it more and get up to Aimee.  So overall it was a good race but our next race we're going to stick to Aimee!

AM-Today we had 6x1000's..yum.  First of all there was a river flowing through the grass!  So, as you can imagine, we had pools in our shoes!...and now I have a new blister on my old blister!  Anyways, the workout went well.  My times were 3:35, 3:30, 3:26, 3:26, 3:34, 3:25. Not too shabby I guess.  It was a hard workout but I felt really strong and afterwards I didn't feel like crawling into a hole and dying!  

PM-Ran 3 miles on a run we made up!  Twas quite the adventure!  We had turns saying 'left, right or straight ahead'.  We ended up going to sandstone, running through the playground, behind the movie theatere and over to baby G's house for some delicious water!  Then we went back and it turned out to be exactly 3!  It was one of the funner runs for sure!

AM-4 miles out to starbucks

PM-Ran 5 on the shoe run with striders afterwards.  I believe I am the most hated girl on the team for choosing that run...  It was dang hot and everyone felt like crap...and sandburgs was full of crap so we couldn't even jump in to cool off!  Sorry guys!  

AM- 3x2min with 1 min recovery with 4x400 with  30 sec recovery. It was a good workout!  I like it a ton better than 1000's.

PM-Ran Hot Nails with all the ladies.  We stopped at the waterwheel park and sat in the little stream that goes through it...felt soo nice!

AM-Ran 3 plus striders afterwards!  the grass was all wet so it felt really nice!....although some hooligans wanted to poo on the baseball fields...who would do that?!?

PM-Ran 4 with Mia and Roberts.  The way back we couldn't stop talking...the conversation was just flowing today!  I honestly havent had on of these kind of runs in a loong time!  it just went by so fast because we wouldn't shut up...I enjoyed muchly!

AM-Ran 3 to arctic circle.

PM-Ran 9 out on the river trail with 30min tempo.  Pretty much the funnest run eva!  the tempo ended right at 4 miles...which was perfecto!  Then we took a break at a porta-potty and almost got into the river...but instead we chased ducks.  Then we stopped for a 'Pocahontas Moment' in the woods.  JP was a little paranoid and heard someone in the trees so our 'Pocahontas Moment' came to an abrupt end!  We started running again with this creep in the bushes on our minds...then JP gasps and I turn around, see someone sprinting towards us and I scream bloody murder and sprint.......then I look back again and its a biker...after he passed we laughed for at least a mile!  After finishing that run we started right into the runathon! Wooo!  That was pretty fun also!
