Stoner's Runs!

AM- We did 3 in the morning.  Felt good and it was nice to only run 3 in the morning!

PM-We ran 5 on the grass.  I really like the grass...it just seems to go by really fast!  Although I did get a goat-head thorn!  It was a good run! Afterwards we did weights and plyos.  Not a fan...but it was nice to only do a 1/2 set of plyos.

AM-We ran 3...I'm feeling really tired from this week.  And the showers felt extra cold today!  We really need to get on that and ask the janitors or someone to give us hot water!  ...I'm kind of suspicious that the boys take all the hot water in the school before we get there! ;)

PM-We ran 1 mile cruisers then two 1200 cruisers.  I generally like cruisers but today I felt like poo.  Today is one of those days that I'm so sick and tired of running that I just kind of want to quit!  ...but I won't...don't worry!  During the cruisers I felt like a kept a good pace and I felt pretty strong but I was just really tired afterwards.  And the only reason I did striders was because there was a squishy part in the grass that was fun to run on.  

UNGODLY HOURS-Please excuse my language...but its true!  But it was a lot of fun!  Besides running, I listened to Roberts mad guitar skills,  tried to ride on a Ripstick (Which I failed at!), slept in the back of a truck,  juggled a soccer ball,  and watched coach act like a maniac playing Rock Band!  It was a crazy, fun, tiresome, and long night/morning!

I was having troubles with my computer, coach!  And I haven't had time to fill it in because I have to read so freaking much for a certain class taught by a certain coach!  ;)

On this particular day I ran with Frida and Mia!  It was a blast!  It went really slow at first but it got better as we went!  And to make things even better/creepier we saw a gorilla riding a bike!  Now how many people get to see that on a run?  Not many, that's for sure!  ...at least I hope not...that would be horrible!  But it was honestly the hairiest human I've ever seen...but everyone is special in their own way, isn't that right?  Anyways...I'll stop talking of gorillas!  It was a great run and I felt really good!

AM-We ran 5!  It felt gweat!  Although JP didn't show up!  So instead of telling her we only did 5, we said we ran 3 michigans!  She didn't believe us....and she said she thought michigans were easy...so it ruined our whole joke.

PM-We ran 3 at Dixie!  It was fun!  Frida had to go someplace so she pushed the pace for us, which is probably a good thing!

AM-We did four 30sec. thingys, two 1000's, two 800's.  bleck.  The boys had told us the previous day that the workout was horrible.  So I expected heck...and it wasn't too bad.  It was hard but not death!  Good workout for me!

PM-We ran 3.  Nothing too exciting!

AM-We ran 3 and then did four 200's!  Guess who missed AGAIN?  Yep, good 'ol JP!  I'm gonna have to go to her house and wake her up myself or something!  I felt okay, my legs are starting to feel crappy from the week.  The 200's went well...there was no 'Ms. Fresh Legs' to show us up and make us feel like snails! 

PM-We ran 4!  'We' being me, Frida, and Mia!  We ditched the pep assembly and started our run!  By the time we finished our 4 miler everyone was just warming up!  So we finished with striders and went home!  Felt so good to be home earlier than usual!

AM-We ran 3.  It felt peachy!  We wanted to do ice baths but decided not to because we had a race.  Is it bad to do an ice bath on the day of a race, coaches?  We weren't sure!  

PM-Ran our race, with a 7:30 pace for our first mile.  It felt really slow, so when we started our real pace, it felt good!  Although the last 800 or so, I got a side cramp and I felt I didn't finish as well as I could of!  Wasn't one of my best races...but I'll do better next time!

P.S.  Everyone did awesome on their races!  Even with that tempo-thingy, you guys did awesome!

AM-This morning we did 2 sets of Michegans...Michagans...how do you spell it?  Oh yeah, B-A-R-F!  Honestly, they didn't seem as bad as they were last year though!  I stayed with Kaylee and JP and I felt fine the whole time except for the last 600 meters or so. 

PM-We ran 3 to Washington/Sandburgs.  It was a good run!  I felt grand and we kept a nice pace...although no one would let me go see Franklin the Dead Cow :( 

AM-We ran to Starbucks!  It was a great run, although Pudz (the dead cat in the gutter) is now missing!  JP doesn't think so, but I couldn't see him!  I think a street sweeper got him...*sniff*.  

PM-We ran an easy 3 with six 200's at the end.  The 3 miles was fine but after the 200's, I was pooped!  

AM-This morning was another hard workout...bleh!  I never look forward to these days.  WE did four 30sec. sprints, two 800's, and finished with two1000's.  I felt pretty good the whole time, which was good...but really worn out by the end.

PM-Easy 3 miles!  We ran Washington and it went really fast, and I felt grand!

AM-Ran an easy 3!  I love mornings we only have to run 3!  They are quite enjoyable!  

PM-Ran 3 again!  Then we had striders afterwards.  I felt great!

AM-We ran an easy 3 again!  I felt great and it was nice to be able to sleep in a little longer than usual!

PM-We ran at Sugarhouse!  It was a good run and nice to be able to refresh my memory of the state course.

RACE-I felt really good the whole race!  I was feeling a little tired at times, but I'd try and push right back up there and stick with JP and Kaylee.  And we (our team) did so awesome!  I was so excited on how well all of us did! During the race I was having a spaz attack because I couldn't believe that we had the top 3!  Plus we had 4 more girls who weren't very far behind and did awesome! And we won!  Good job girls!!

This morning I ran 6 miles with Frida, Mia and JP.  I know me and JP were supposed to run 8....but, at least I ran!  And we even did the last mile tempo pace!  It was a good run and it went by really fast!  Although mia and I were kind of disapointed we didn't see another gorilla!

AM-Felt like crap this morning.  I really was debating on coming or not.  During the 3 mile run my head felt like it would explode...but obviously, it didn't!  After we were done Jp, Mia, Frida, Kaylee and I did six 200's...and later found out we weren't supposed to!  whoops! ...I blame Frida ;) During the 200's I said I'd just do half of them so I wouldn't wear myself out too bad...but I felt okay after the 4th one and decided to just finish them! 

PM-We were supposed to run 3 again but I had a dumb AP Bio lab, so I only ran 2.  During the run I noticed I was a little short of breath and my legs were worn out...probably because I'm still kind of sick.  And on the way back, since I was alone, I felt like a picked up the pace...mostly because there was no one yelling at me to slow down and also because I was afraid I'd be late for my lab(which I was)!  It was a good run though, and I feel a lot better, sick wise, than I did yesterday!

AM-Ran 3 with all the girls!  It was really nice!

PM-Ran 3 again with Roberts, Kaylee, Kelsi and Nicole.  It was really fun and it went by really fast!  Prolly because we were talking about cat fur sweaters, Kaylee's uncle, and doing spirit finger waves! :)  Then I did plyos and weights!  They felt good and I was so happy we only had a 1/2 set of plyos!

AM-Ran 3.  Felt fine, although my throat is still a little bit sore.

 PM-Ran 5 in Green Springs.  Seemed like forever because we've only been running 3 lately.  We had to run extra speedily so Mia could be back in time for her cello lessons, so we kept a good pace!  Striders went by really fast!

AM- Ran 3 again.  Felt good, but my throat is still acting up!

PM- The race was okay for me.  My stomach felt funny before we had started and I got side cramps on and off during the race.  My shoes felt really tight, prolly because I washed them :(  and it caused my socks to rub my toe raw...but no one would listen to me because JP had a huge blister/alien egg sac on the back of her foot ;)  It wasn't my best race for sure...I just didn't feel very well overall, but I'm going to do better next time!  And Ill remember my zone bar so I don't get all antzy and have my sister run around to get me a piece of bread! 

Today we did our workout on the state course.  First we did a 2 mile warm-up and then we started into eight 200's then we did two 4min. tempos.  I felt great the whole time!  Except on the 3 miler to the JV race, I kept getting side cramps.  It was a good workout though and I enjoyed watching everyone run!  You guys did so awesome!

AM-We did two sets of Michigans.  They weren't that bad, actually.  For some reason they seemed a lot worse last year, but this year...they seem okay!  I thought I kept a good pace but I need to work on my last 400 sprint!  And I missed JP!  I hpe your leg gets better soon!

PM-We had an easy 3 with striders, weights then plyos.  The 3 miler went by supah (i hope Jared doesn't mind me copying 'his word'!) fast!  The striders were fun especially slipping around in the mud and Mia saying "Charlie horse!  Charlie horse!"  and then ripping her pants! haha!  Weights and plyos went pretty fast too and they weren't that bad!

AM-We ran an easy 4!  Felt pretty good!

PM-We ran 3 on the mini Sandburgs run.  It was good but my legs felt really tired.  But other than that, it was a good run!

AM-Ran an easy 3 with 6 200's.  The 200's took forever but they felt okay.

 PM-Ran an easy 3.  Felt good...although it's getting kinda hot outside!

AM-Ran 3.  Felt good!

PM-Ran 4 with striders afterwards!  Striders went by really fast!

AM-Ran 3.  Felt fine!

For this race, I was determined to eat right before my race so I wouldn't have a spaz attack about how I need food!  So I did, and I felt good before the race.  I felt good during the race but it didn't feel like my best...I really wanted to catch that dumb orange girl but I didn't get a good kick for the finish...I really need to work on that!  but overall it was an okay race!  I was really proud of Frida sticking with me!  She really pushed me, and she always has a positive attitude!  thanks frida! :)
