Stamina, Speed, Strength, Skill and SPIRIT

Went rock climbing this morning at the Chuckawalla trail where we ran once and kinda beat up my knee. It got really bruised and swollen so i didnt attempt a run cuz it hurt when i walked. :(

3 Miles with Carli! Felt very good. My knee hurt from yesterday but is healing quickish.

Ran to hotnails and added another half mile at the school. I thought i did good yesterday but today i ran much much faster and felt even better! My shin hardly hurt at all!

Ran on the river trail and averaged exact 8 minute pace. So it was quick but good. And i also saw matt, abel, krenny, and dave at the sullivan soccer park:)

Trail run! My favorite! Over be pioneer park. 4 super fun miles- I led the girls downhill for the most part on till the turn around. Then we did like an indian run thing where we took turns leading the pack. Great day.

5 miles with 12 min AT tempo: goal time 7-7:30 pace. Today was really hard for me! I kept up with the girls for the first 6 minutes of the tempo and then fell behind until tempo was over. :/ I was dying. But i did keep up a pretty good pace for the most part. It felt pretty long. Then wieights after.

Easy 3 with striders.

I ran 4.5 w/10 min LT pace- had to cut it short. I didn't have a time to start out with and was only with carli cuz we had turned around early. I averaged 7:00 min pace and carli was a little ways behind. It wasn't that good but was glad i did it.

trail run! hardish. but good.

easy 3 with striders! felt amazing!

Liz, ali, carli and I ran 5 miles with 10 min LT tempo. It was good! except my garmin said my average pace was 7 min but i coulda sworn it was tons faster! I wasn't too far behind ali and liz. Felt amazing though! didnt get much mileage in this week :/ but it might be doing some good for my leg!

3x1000 (85%) w/recovery, Harts warm/cool. First time i have ran on the track since last track season! Felt sooo good! times were 4:18, 4:18, 4:07. Don't have an absolute time, First 2 i focused on staying with Liz and i did! On the last one i wanted to be more up with ali so i tried but last lap i fell off her a little bit still came in behind her! I was happy with how i did and hope to keep on improving my times as i am getting ready for track! Wieghts afterward.

Trail run Tuesday, a trail called Dinosaur Tracks. Very fun with all the hills and stuff, but also a bit hard. also desert hills followed us. Tight legs. otherwise I'm feeling good and I'm feeling positive:)

6 miles with 18 min AT tempo. Pretty dang hard. Not quite sure what pace i was hitting, i was wearing my garmin but the times were all over the place and it wasnt working... Legs were sore and achy, shoulda stretched better after yestderdays trail run.

Old man hills- 1x800, 2x400. Hills are kinda really hard for me, and they are something i want to work on becoming better at. My body is pretty tired from this week's workout so tomorrow should be nice! Weights after.

nice 3 with nice striders.

AM: best i have ever felt on a 3 miler! Very good

PM: couldnt go to practice cuz of ortho appt. But when i got home i biked 30 miles in under an 1 1/2 hours with Sarah B!! Pretty intense workout:)

Fun, crazy trail run today. Felt pretty good

7 miles with 18 min AT tempo. This run was hard but i did okay. I got alot farther than last week so i am improving! My watch is officially messed up though, the pacing is waaay off. So it is only useful to measure the time and distance.

Old man hills. i only did one because my shin has been hurting all day. Especially when i run. I tried one hill and decided to stretch during the next one then run back with the girls. Icing and stretching I think will help. Weights afterwards!

3 miles easy with striders. My shin hurt throughout all 3 miles :( pretty bad. So i thought to not do striders but decided they might be good on my legs. So i did them and I felt really good. Iced again today for a long time.
