This is my last week do Drivers Ed so I'll be able to start going to morning practices again!!! I'm so excited. I miss doing my long runs in the heat. A for the run today it was good. We did a grass run

Minutes: 47

Nice run. I started before the girls so Anna could get her minutes in before dance. The girls caught up to me at the light at hearts. And I ran with them until I turned back with Caleb. Jenna caught up to us at the Walmart light and I ran with her stopping st hearts for water and then going the rests of the way. For a total of 47 minutes. 

Minutes: 70

Did a 30 minute warm up and a 20 minute cool down.

As for my race, it was fantastic. My start wasn't very good. But by the time we got into the dirt part I pushed hard and started to make up for the rocky start. I pushed through the pain and focused on the girls ahead of me. I saw 3 d-hill girls ahead of me and made it my goal to pass all 3 of them and beat them. I passed all 3 at one point but one beat me at the end. I was only about a second behind her. My goal for this race was a sub 23. I got 23:02!! Ugh soo close. But I'm still happy with how close I was. I know I can get those 3 seconds shaved off and hopefully a whole minute by region. Very happy with myself and excited to see what other great things I can do. And what my team can do.

I only got 5 hours of sleep and I felt like I was going to pass out

I need to find someone to do my Saturday runs with, cause otherwise I don't run very much

Running first thing in the morning is my favorite thing to do. It just gets my day off to a great start. I started out kinda fast, and slowed down after I crossed 2450. Anna and me ran together the whole way, and probably let each other slow down too much. That's one of the problems with running with just her everyday, we're both too comfortable with each other, and haven't been pushing each other very much. That's definitely something I need to work on. Either pushing Anna more during normal runs, or pushing to stay with a new group that's faster than us. Both will get us where we want to go.

Grass run was nice and chill. I got super muddy though from the grass and it took forever! (okay like one minute) to clean it all off. I like grass runs, it's just a nice chill time to run with a lot of different people and talk to them about life. I only talked to Anna today, but I should try to talk to some other people too next week.

There's definitely a lot I can work on to get better, but goals for this week are

1. Blog everyday. And not just minutes, but details about my run or the day and how I was feeling

2. Support my teammate better, weather that be reading and commenting on their blogs, or pushing them through the runs, workouts, and races. Or even just talking to them at practice.

A lot of different things last week made me keeping thinking about getting out of your comfort zone, and that's something I need to keep working on, now and for the rest of my life.

Wasn't able to do very much at weights because I was late. I need to work on getting on time to morining practice. 

PM

Minutes: 50

I made a goal for this run to not walk or slow my pace. I did really good and got lost in thought as I ran out. On the way back I was still lost in thought, and wasn't focusing on the pain. I was into the neiborhood on the way back from artic circle, when Bryanna caught up to me, she told me to go with her and so I did. We had a big group by the end. I was really happy Bryanna pushed me, usually I slow my pace on the way back but instead I went faster and felt great after\wards. I got back to the hs and did my 200s. When I waited for my mom I streched and am just about to go roll and ice. Today was a great day, and I hope to keep having more this week.

Workouts are always my favorite, and workouts at the dirt mile are even better. Anna and me pushed ourselves a lot. We decided on a faster pace then we've done in the past, and did all 4 4:30s. I felt really good even though the last one hurt a lot.

AM

Minutes: 15

Weights was good, I was late again though.

PM

Minutes: 45

I stayed with the top girls up until we got into green springs and then I realized I was going way too fast, and could barely run after that. I stopped at the golf place and ran back with Jesse. We ran back the whole way and I felt really good. Then we did our striders. Overall the run turned out good

Minutes: 50

The race wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. My goal time was 22:50, but I got 23:24. I still did really good though. I pushed through the pain and stayed right with anna. Speaking of Anna she did so amazing. I'm so proud of her. She got a great time and beat me. She pushed me through the whole race. Can't wait to see how snow canyon goes.
