Life's Swell

10 miles and it’s only 9:00! Heck yeah. 8 with Sam on dikes. Added 2 miles to get to 10 for my long run for the week 

Sooo, Coach lately has been letting the top 10 girls go to practice and I’m 11. I keep up in the workouts with Sam and Haley just fine but I still am not allowed. I still have wanted to keep training though so I did the workout on my own today. 

Mile warm and then an 80%. I was planning on doing 3 miles. And I ran down to canyon view and was gonna finish the last mile on the track. There was this guy there with these stupid little yapping dogs and they kept chasing me and jumping and trying to bite me and he did absolutely nothing. None the less it was making me mad so I stopped at a little over 2.5 miles and just stood so they would leave me alone. After about 5 minutes the guy finally made them go a way and at that point I just kinda kept jogging cuz I had been standing for so long. Finished to my house and had to add 1.5 to get to 8

Week break. I was gonna wait and take it after nationals when everyone else does, but I’m gonna take it now so I can have a longer winter base for track 

I have successully made it through an entire season healthy. Its amazing. Im slowly gonna try and build miles over the break. just a little. 

3 miles!!! Wahooo!! It was a good ol run with Sam. Then weights. Today is strssful

4 miles easy. it felt soo good today (and yesterday). i thought that after taking a week off i would feel at least kind of out of shape, but i felt like i could go a 10 mile run and id be perfectly fine. I didnt look at my pace the whole run cuz i didnt want to be worried about it, but afterwards, i looked and i averaged 7:20. 

4 miles on the treadmill this morning to kill two birds with one stone. i only have to go 8 more times before the end of the semester. 

Also i went to breakfast with christian at the caf and they had the best omelettes. 

3/4 classes were cancelled today and that was lit. 

I have an essay to write by friday that i havent started and i cant leave the library til im done

4 miles easy. It was warm this morning. 7:20 avg

Pm- mile shakeout  

The last few days have honestly been sooo crazy. Anyways. I ended up running on the treadmill again to kill to birds with one stone for my class. 

Side note. I get to see my aunt Ida today and I’m pumped! And I get to go on a real life airplane. 

6 miles easy with Haley. Idk pace. I didn’t have my watch. 

I got to go on a plane this weekend for the first time and it was sooo dope! 

5 on turkey town with the fam. It was fun. I accidentally mooned someone when I went to the bathroom so that was dope

Family turkey trot mile. I was 4th. Didn’t run anything crazy lol. Like 6:00

6 miles with Ellie on the bike. Apparently everyone and their dogs saw us lol 

6 chill again. I’ll start bumping up next week. 

A little ultimate, some cards and a dope hike today. It was a good time 

6 with haley this afternoon. 7:16 avg. and it felt nice. we kept having to slow down cuz we were going way too fast. 

team dinner at the presidents house today

5 miles today. im a litttttle bit frusterated beucase i have felt sooooo good all week and last and finally starting to feel good and not hurting (cuz my butt and hams have been bugging me i think from a combination of sitting so much for school, it being colder outside, and rebuilding for mileage). But i think a combination of hard weights and a faster run did it for me. my hamstrings hurt so bad. like my lungs felt amazing and i just wanted to go so fast but my legs wouldnt let me. i know if somethings going to be wrong, now is the time for it to be so beucase i have 6 weeks until the season starts, its just annoying. i was going so slow and my legs were just hurting to even move. 

stretch and pt exercises really good. ive been doing my pt every day and its seemed to be helpinng my piriformis not tighten which is soooooooo good. im grateful for that tremendously. my hamstrings on the other hand, i need to figure something out. 

i was gonna try and bump up mileage a little this week, but i think im just gonna keep it at 5-6 for now. 

today has been a long one. good news tho! im finished with 2 of my classes already and after this week ill be finished with another and then i only have 3 to worry about!

i was supposed to run with alison and julieta but i was rlly annoyed so i just went alone. 6 pretty chill cuz my hams are still reaaaaallllly sore but much better than yesterday

3 miles with el and 3 on the treadmill. it is snowing. alot alot alot. its so cold and our power went out. but the ppl across the street still have power. i was the only one home when it went out and it kept flickering and it crept me out. but then sam and sierra came home so it got better. 

am- 2 miles shakeout. it was cold 

Pm- 5 miles with alison. It was nice to talk. 7:38 average.  It was colder.
