How many more miles coach?

AM- Two miles in the morning to loosen up for the race in the afternoon. Nice and cool.

 PM. RACE TIME!!! It was my first time using xc spikes and they HURT! Maybe I need to practice a little with them to know what to do right. The race was hot and my mouth was crazy dry, making my throat hurt like crazy! There was the woods cross girl in front of me and whenever I pushed up to her, she'd sprint. Finally I was keeping up with her for a while and what did she do? She elbowed me! Right after her devil crime, she swerved in front of me so I still couldn't pass her. But oh wait! She elbowed my stomach and I puked on her! Oh and beat her at the end :) WHAT NOW?!?!? Now people know never to elbow me in the stomach when I'm feeling that sick! I got my best time yet, but it wasn't as good as I wanted. Now I'm gonna be stepping it up majorly and it getting colder is going to help a ton! I'm still maintaining that spot on varsity and I plan on keeping it. Our girls team got third and boys I think got first or third, I can't remember.

Oh, I did a two mile warm up and a one mile cool down in socks. Nice after a race and out of spikes. I really need to get used to those...They gave me blisters and my shorts gave me cuts. What kind of shorts do that?

AM- Four in the morning in Sugarhouse. Easy cold nice :)

PM-ran to Sugarhouse, did ten hills, lap around sugarhouse and then back. I hit a branch!

Early morning practice. RJ made me SUPA late!!! So I hurried to catch up with everyone. We went to Sugarhouse and back. Simple and easy for tomorrow's race. Except my legs hurt like MAD!

This was a rockin race! I had a fun ride up, listening to music with RJ and Nelsi-poo. Then I did a fun two mile warm up while watching the boys race. Then I borrowed Natalie's spikes and lined up. As the official was telling us the rules I realized, I forgot to take me inhaler! I was like, oh shoot! Too late! I started the race strong! The start is an uphill :P I kept a good middle of pack to the front place and slowly started to pass people throughout the race. I had another sprinter girl, but she didn't elbow me and I didn't puke on her. But I did beat her! At the end there was a girl who saved ALL her energy for the sprint at the end, and she barely beat me. I am so proud of this race! The spikes still hurt, but I knew they helped, mainly when the grass was really muddy. 

Good two mile  cooldown while cheering for the whole team. Susannah did AMAZING!!! She got third place and Natalie wasn't far behind on the varsity race. I also found out Davis has a FREAKING GOOD TEAM! I'm jealous and ready to start beating them!

On the way home I fell asleep on my human pillow (AKA RJ) and Scotty G Taylor Squishy Face's 'amazing' singing kept waking me up. I hope to do even better next time and have fun!

Tempo run this morning. 2 miles warm up,  2 miles cool down. 4 miles in between at a 8:30 pace. It was nice in cool weather, but a little hard because I didn't get much sleep because of MY STUPID BROTHER! (Yes, he's reading over my shoulder)

AM-Workout at the track. One mile warm up, one mile speed changes. Then two three hundreds and six one hundreds, then a one mile cool down.

 PM- We went up to This is the Place and ran the course. I HATED this course, so you know. I plan on never doing it after tomorrow. After that we ran back down. I hated it. A lot. A lot a lot. 

Today I got the Stomach Flu :P But during the evening I was feeling a little better so I went on a short run in sugarhouse. I really wish I could run in the race!

AM- five miles in Sunnyside Park. We did some strides and an 800. I stayed with Abigail the whole time :)

PM- Quick speed workout at the track, easy for the run tomorrow :)

Today was the big Murry race, and was my first official race on Varsity. It was SCARY! But I did PR by almost two minutes. And I beat my time from this race last year by almost TWENTY minutes :) But the first time out, I fell. The second time out I had to use my hurdle skills and jump over someone. Going up this one hill, I was completely boxed in and the girl in front of me randomly decided to walk. I 'accidently' ran her over. Then I didn't mean to throw an elbow but the girl next to me DID and ended up hitting my funny bone :/ sooo not funny! My knee was killing, but I pushed through it. Good time for having been puking two days before right?

AM-Four miles, to Sugarhouse a lap around and  back home. I hate life right now because it is sore!!!!

PM-Went on a freaking fun hike for homecoming with friends! We sang the sound of music and Patti made me into a tree! So fun and I even forgot that the actual dance was that night!

Painful. I ran out of inhaler saturday and I couldn't get anymore because sunday was the next day. We ran to Sugarhouse, and then to Fairmont for ten strides. I was keeping up with the best of best and I snapped. I stopped breathing and I tried really hard not to show it because I really didn't want anyone to slow down and I didn't want to be a distraction. I ended up having to cut out the hills at liberty and just went back to the track. I collapsed at one point at this creepy gas station. After a little water I was back up again but then needed to get some more at great harvest. I am tired but I hope this will pay off in the end...

AM-We ran down to liberty, did two laps of fireman and ran back up. My fire man group ended up being Nelson and I because everyone else walked. It wasn't too effective :P

PM-One mile warmup, one mile speed changes, two 800s (3:15 each), ten strides on the soccer field and a one mile cooldown. It hurt and it was way too hot!

(the division place is my place on my team) This course is awful. I think about fifty or so people heard me saying that today. I hated it. We got there 15 minutes before and did a three mile warm up. Then the race was a killer! The first part was an uphill road and I felt I was making it no where. Then we got to a very rocky trail and one of my biggest fears is that I'll fall on one of these trails and go flying. I've done it before and I really couldn't walk or stop crying. I had a pair of stansbury girls in front of me and behind me. The ones behind me passed me at a wide part and then I saw my favorite Afro Boy cheering. I used my hurdle skills to jump over a bush and pass those girls. This time they were NOT passing me :) And on the last 400 I passed the pair who were originally in front of me along with three other girls. I ended up being fourth from my team. I hit a huge mud puddle and got ick EVERYWHERE! And after the race I realized my leg was bleeding everywhere. So I put my blood sweat and tears in this race and didn't even pr. I HATE THIS RACE!!!!

AM-This morning was interesting. I had a dream that my phone kept going off and then boom! My phone went off in real life! I forgot that I had a morning workout and my boyfriend was outside waiting for me. I quickly changed and ran out there, forgetting almost everything! During the run I kept coughing and my mind just wouldn't work and I couldn't exactly run straight. I took it really easy and Sarah and Patrick stayed with me to make sure I was okay. When I got back to the track I was shivering like mad. After taking a demon shower, I ate an amazing muffin from Taylor Squishyface and curled up in Sarah's blanket. After first period I ended up calling my dad to bring me home. It turned out that I had a high fever. Only two miles and I feel worse than I have for a while(actually Monday but shhhh). And yes, I used colors to make me feel better about this run today :)

Today was my day back. I really couldn't run much without my mom killing me, so we did a warm up, a ton of core, and then played ultimate frisbee. Mickey and I are the ultimate team :D

Well today was pretty painful. I am still getting over this awful virus, and running with congestion and asthma didn't really mix. I had to go slow and I had many coughing fits. But at least I got it in right?

Today we did one mile warm up, one mile speed changes, three 400's with a 400 recovery in between. Then my lungs were on fire and I couldn't breathe, so I stopped for a little bit and did strides. Then I did a 400 with Scott, and then another 400 with Steffi. After that I did a one mile cool down. This is the first time in a long time that I actually fear running. I need to get better and it needs to be fast. I have a meet this Saturday in Boise. I don't know whether to push through it or rest. Pushing isn't helping but resting won't really either. I just don't know.

Today I did core at the track and then went pool running. ten minute warm up, three minutes on, two minutes off eight times then a ten minute cool down. My chest was hurting all day and it got worse during this. I talked to my doctor after and it is bronchitis. So no running until saturday! BLEH!

Hmmmm, so running this with Bronchitis was an adventure. We had to get to the bus at three, and I can't really sleep on buses, so not much sleep either. I had a two mile warm up and then got to the starting line. The race well...I wasn't last right? I was in elite and for part of the race, I couldn't breathe at all. I knew I had the holy ghost with me, cause I have no clue how I finished that race without walking, collasping, or dying at all. The second I finished, I attempted to take my inhaler, but in mid-asthma attack, it's really hard. Once I got my breath back, I did my cool down by going on the jv boys warm up.

On the ride home, I could feel my lungs vibrating and my chest hurt so bad. I had my superboyfriend with me though and he gave me tylonol, made sure I was always wrapped up in a blanket and even put a pillow on his lap so I could lay my head down and stretch out a little. We got home at about two am and I finally had a real bed. I slept for ten hours.

Once I woke up, I got on this. I can tell by how my lungs are hurting and how breathing is almost impossible, the season is more than likely shot. woo?

Pool Running. I hate being sick and having to do this. I really do. I did five minute warmup, and then ladders, and to finish a one mile cooldown.

Well today I woke up late and the only running shoes I could find were my flats. I ran with the team and felt AWFUL! I want to know what's wrong.

Today we had a meet, but on the warmup my lungs closed up so I couldn't run it. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG
