Life's Swell

30 with striders

we had a 100 to 200 wrokout increasing by 20's and each interval got faster. i felt so solid!

ran when we got to cali. all the girls ran together and i took the opprotunity to just chill in the back and not push the pace for the front. me and macey had a good chat.

best day ever! we went to the footlocker course and ran on it nice and easy. then we went to the beach. we played in the water and chased lots of birds and played super duper fun ultimate frisbee.

warmed up with alli. then got on the start line. i told myself i was going to chill at the beginning and i did. i started really chill and i so bad was getting antsy but i just chilled until switchback hill. then i started to push pretty solid. i passed a ton of people going up the hill and even more going down. at that point i was in 5th place. and i told myslef to just keep it up. i had to make myself think about using good form on the downhills and it really helped. i stayed in the same spot most of the race until the flattish part between poopout and reservoir hill. i passed 2 girls and a washington girl passed me. i ended up being fourth overall, and NO ONE passed me on the track! i can push at the end of races!!! it just took a bit of effort for me to finally figure it out. i shouldve pushed with the washington girl, but overall, it was a pretty great race. cooled down with mitch,dallen, addi, and macey. 

its been a swell 2 week break with lots of weights, yoga, abs, and ultimate

felt so good to be back at the whole running thing again!! it was a little hard, but for the first run, it felt pretty darn good!

Easy run with Ellie and Scottie. 'Twas a good run 

met with the girls and roberts at green springs park. felt harder than the tuesdays run, but felt good.

ran with ellie and my mom. felt decent. easier to breathe and my legs felt good!

ran Dino Tracks. Felt good, a little faster than the last couple days, but it felt great!

dino tracks again with all of my family and the bakers and my aunt rachel. it was a lot of fun. didnt do the complete loop today. just an out and back.

i felt so good today!!!! it was cold, but it felt good! the sun was shining and the birds were chirping and me and ellie just chatted. it was literally the best run! could have gone forever!

33 minutes with us and the Baker gals. felt pretty darn good. we ran through pine view estates and through summerfield. lovely run

Met with some of the team at Chuckwalla and ran! Felt pretty good! I'm feeling in shape again and running with the girls and Roberts was real swell, I enjoy all of their company. 

Picked up the Bakers and we ran mustang pass cuz my mom has been wanting us to show her which trail it was. We started running and, I guess i should not have eaten waffles for breakfast cuz  I felt like I was gonna throw up. I felt sooo sick. By the end I started to feel better and it was a pretty decent run. It is so enjoyable to just get out and run in the cold fresh air. I love it!
