Don't think, just run.

Today was the race! :) I did 3 miles in the morning, and then did a 1 mile warm up before the race, (3miles) and 1 mile cool down. I think I did pretty good for my first race! I'm looking forward to the next one!

I stayed up with Liz, Sally and Preston today. I think my day off helped me a bit :) I wasn't as fast on the way back, but I did manage to stay above the the last group, so that was good. After, the side of my left calve was really hurting, but after I got home, It seemed fine. Liz said it could be Shin splints?

9 hiking miles..if that counts the same:)

Long run off the week. It was a ton easier than I though t it would be:)

I ran 3 miles out on the road, but only did 3 of the 4 200's because I started feeling sickish... Race tomorrow!:) I'm excited and nervous!

Race today!! :) I had a great time! And I passed my last race time by almost a minute.

We had a 1.5 warm up, then 3 thousands, and a 1.5 cool down. Sally and I estimated a total of 5.5 miles? :) It was a good run. I think I might start going to morning practice, they sound a ton better than afternoon... Time trial tomorrow. Should be fun eh?

{{{I really enjoy being part of the team and going to practice:) It;s helped me get in shape, but also helped me realize somethings about myself, and helped me make a bunch of new friends:)}}}

I did an AM run with some of the Varsity girls today. It was a lot better than afternoon! WE went at a faster pace then I usually do, and I hardly felt it at all. Maybe it was because it was early in the morning? After a mile in PE we did our Time Trial with a mile warm up and cool down. I did about what I expected.

The faster pace today felt so good! I was super sore at the start, but it worked out by the end. I tried to keep up with the other girls, but I was super tired, so I fell behind, but I ran with another girl most of the rest of the run. We did our regular pace pretty fast with the fartlecks even faster!

AM- 3 Miles with the Level 2 girls. the run wasn't as easy as my first time, but I twas stilll a good run! I'm making progress!

Afternoon- 1 mile slow jog in PE

 Practice- We did an Easy 3 up to Green Springs, It was sooooooooo hot! I did a really slow pace both ways, but a bit faster on the way back. After, we had striders on the baseball field. I felt soooo sore after, and my blisters were NOT helping! I iced and rolled my calves when I got home, I hope it helps! 

3 miles, plus 4 200's. I felt really good during the whole run, and during the 200's! It was cool to have Cody back, and we ran together a bit. After, we had weights.

Race day! :) I did a lot better than I thought I would! Almost all of the course was grass, but it was pretty easy to run it. I was feeling good for the race, but after, my calves stared hurting. I stretched them out, but it didn't do much. More ice and rolling!

Super easy 3 today. My calves have been hurting super bad lately, so I took it easy, and skipped out on the stridders. I had it wrapped, but apparently I need new running shoes? I'll ice and roll too I guess....

4 3 min, with 3 min cool, plus Harts warm and cool. I felt better because of the tape Mark put on, but it didn't totally resolve the problem...I'm looking into new shoes for that one! I think I'll be taking a day off to let all my blisters heal, hopefully I'll be back soon!

1 mile slow jog in PE. I didn't go to practice because of my blisters and my need for new shoes:)

New shoes! :) I was super lazy today, and just did striders, and then weights and pylos. My shins and ankles  are still super sore when I run, but I've been told it will be that way for awhile...

2 miles as the first part of the run-a-thon! :) Then another two tempo DI loop after.
