This is for you, Coach

So happy MaRee and her sister Mia (wow! i have a mia friend!) are gonna be coming out to cross! MaRee's even looking forward to camp! yay :) anywho, today we ran 5 miles into hell hole... then coach surprised us with 8x 10 sec bounders up the hill. actually wasn't too shabby. felt like Mario doing the bounders, but who doesn't want to feel like Mario? it's a great way to start your day. Pretty exhausted when i got back though, i'm thinking i need to eat less junk and more good stuff. prolly will help my running tons. 

Went to kids camp, fun fun fun. Ran with JP around 7ish but felt horrible cause i ate right before i ran. bleh, so stiff and sweaty and gross. went bowling after with jp, stoner, mikey, janz, and zack. then played frisbee, soccer, and leap frog in the dark at the golf course! so fun. 

Best Run EVER! so here's the story.. we (as in me, Jp, and Stoner) dropped off Jp's truck at the old movie theater to get a good seat for the fireworks and ran back to Jp's. holy funny. We got an ab work out. It was great pace, not slow but more on the faster side. We went through middleton and just had to stop at the park cause they had swings! If you haven't noticed, they don't have swings at any other park here in saint geezy. they had the coolest talk-into-weird-box-thing-and-it'll-talk-back. it sounded like something on a horror movie hahah. THEN we saw a bunny, a white bunny, a very trippy bunny. It looked real then fake then real again.. then Jp said what if it was real?? then the bunny moved!! and we all screamed. Jp's reaction was the best though. anywho, the run was quit amazing. we ran around the golf course cause the sprinklers were going. The breeze felt so amazing. perfect weather. Everything was just great!! we even pushed each other in a cart! that was great too. I wanted to take it back or hide it somewhere but we just left it by a stop sign. hope the hobo doesn't come hunt us down for stealing his cart!! Oh! I even yelled at the others to stretch with me after :) it was just dandy! The End.

warm up, stoner and i were on a roll! kept reminding each other 'toes!' ran "2.8" before the grass run. Got to run with coach and that was fun! Stoner and i agreed that we like it when coach runs with us, especially on work outs! but anywho, felt a lot better compared to last week. Noticed that i wasn't breathing hard anymore. Striders after grass and that was ten times better than last week. i'm finally getting back into shape!! Tomorrow i'm going to park city so hopefully i'll go running with my aunt :) she's pretty wicked sweet. 

came home from SLC and got jp, stoner, and kaylee to meet up and run. Ran in the sand and felt gross. hate traveling for the fact that you snack a ton. started feeling a bit better the more i got into the run, but my legs started to get really tight and my shins hurt so i was happy to be done when we finished. It felt so muggy that it just added on to my pitiful run. But the girls were funny so i just listened to them or dazed off so that was good.

out to middleton. haven't been feeling all good. my parents have been forcing me to eat more but its making me feel sick. hopefully my body will adjust fast.

Ran 4 on dirt trail. Kaylee came and was so so happy! Started off a bit sore and tired but the more i got into the run the better it got. Kaeliee G is doing oh so good! She's gonna be rockin it this season.

did my double in the morning so i can run with JP later. felt pretty good, focused on my form while running on the hills.

2 on road, 2 on grass, then striders. felt dandy. Taylor stuck up with us too! 

met up at the marathon finish and ran out towards santa clara. ran with Roberts and Kaylee.. i mean Carly ;). felt decent but didn't let it get to my head. Roberts and Kaylee were pretty good at distracting me from thinking it anyways. made a pinky promise that Kaylee and I will go to Dutchmans and get a pink sugar cookie and brownie :) reanacted another ' I'm catholic' with roberts. too bad JP wasn't there. anywho, good day~

Ran out to dog pound with JP. met kaylee part way but she didn't want to run with us. rude. But we realized we'll at least see her 4 times during xc season. anywho, breezy and nice :)

6 out to the fields. Ran with the girls, no show from Roberts, naughty naughty. Girls are doing amazing! can't wait for camp but as of now i'll be going kayaking and girls camping for the next few days.. hope i can get a run in during that time!

PM- 3 miles out with myself. ran in the rain for a bit then the weather got bipolar. concentrated on just running on my toes which made the run go a lot faster.. or i was just running that much faster :) haha... anywho, rewarded with some sweet pain and a lot of sweat.  

ran to summit with JP and Stoner and it sucked on the way back and i hurt and i whimped out so ran home instead of running 8. bleh bleh bleh. but stretched a ton so i wouldn't psych myself into a injury then did P90X with the girls! fun fun fun.

AM: 4 miles. then went home to pack for XC camp!!! woooooo

PM: 4 miles out on the long road... Wasn't too shabby but my tummy hurt. Set up camp and got super excited to whats to come! rode up with Coach Holt and that was a blast! talked and talked and talked.. i forget what we talked about but it was just dandy.

AM: 9 miles out to the canyons-ish. the boys weren't kind enough to mark it for us but i'm sure we went a bit over. I felt great on the way up and it was all good but started to feel crappy on the way back.. the altitude was getting to me. The sky looked like it was getting smaller and all that but i made it back and just drank some gatorade and i was revived.

PM: 3 miles out on the road again. the day was great though!

AM: 5 miles up the hills! was looking forward to what was gonna happen... JP and I stuck together and our breathing wasn't doing us good but it felt great making it up the hill. Then the way back was just a party. Worked on our form from what we learned in class! props to coaches. We saw a deer and i shot an imaginary arrow and it died.

PM: 3 miles and had a crazy idea to run with the guys. why? it was a crazy idea. It wasn't too shabby until coach tried to throw me into the mud puddle cause my shoes weren't tied. i mean, my shoes always get untied but i've never tripped over them. talent if you ask me :) So anyways after that incident, coach had to push me up to the girls so i could keep up. After the hill it was like i got a burst of energy (kinda) and so i made it back. crazy right? i thought so too. I was pretty darn tired afterwards. I did play 11 games of volleyball with my awesome team! Realized by the end that i was the only girl on the court. yaya, it's okay to be jealous :)

Ran our last 4 and it was shabby, crappy, icky. My breathing was the worst out of all the days! but we cleaned up camp and it's crazy to think that its JP and Stoner's last year! Bitter sweet moment.

out to hospital (plus running around lowes) with 2 mile tempo at the end. Felt decent but was hard to breathe and my legs were dead. Felt nice to stay up with JP and Stoner on our tempo. no regrets! except we sweat a ton!

Ran in the heat of the day with Stoner and JP so we jumped in the river and rolled around a bit then made it to sandburgs and jumped in not only once.. but three times! yup, it was one of those chill runs for the week. Felt pretty exhausted but looking forward to this season!

Ran half way with Roberts and that's always fun! Ran the rest of Grape vine by myself and i didn't get lost... props to me self. Felt decent, all the junk i ate while my parents were away was getting to me, so hopefully i can get back into the healthy eating habit.

PM: 3 miles plus weights and plyos. so excited. i'm gonna be buff! not. 

AM: 4 miles on dirt, felt nice. Wore my new Mizuno Elixar's and my right foot started heating up and felt swollen but Roberts said their just adjusting so no biggie! hopefully... Striders after the dirt and those weren't too shabby except i realized how much sorer (if that's even a word!) i am from plyos yesterday. i could barely play misssionary tag with the girls! it was more like rolling around to the next spot before getting tagged. pathetic, i know. 

PM: 3 miles out to double churches (from mi casa) with Stoner and JP. waited forever but danced in the rain until it was all gone. run felt nice but my foot still did the weird numb feeling even though i was wearing the brookes. Stoner said that it's prolly my foot.. i didn't even think of that cause i was too busy blaming the shoes.
