Wow, this run was pretty delightful. I started by running around sugarhouse park, and then ran up the hills of doom death and destruction. Keeping my lunch in, I ran another lap and ran home. Pretty fun, but I learned not to eat so much before a run. My Legs are Jelly! Sally Zhlarfphin Visenheimer.

After, I cleaned up and played water games with my cross country team (without Squishy Face) which I can infer is another mile :D

Funnest run ever! I liked going around sugarhouse...kind of. It was the best to play water games on such a hot day too! But my favorite was that I can say that Scott's a spy, Nelson's a bodyguard and I led a terrorist group. haha!

For this fun running day, I ran to my school's track (about a mile and a half from my house) and did a mile of speed changes (you know, sprint on the straight, jog on the curve!) and ran/skipped home. After, I had a pr sandwich ;)

So you all know, a pr sandwich is a peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwich. This run was pretty boring. I'm not a huge fan of the track without hurdles. I just need to get used to using it once a week. Sound good Sally?

Well, because I was mad studying for finals and had an extra credit seminar AND had young womens', I decided to just go up to the library, study, and then run home. I did this whole run with my back pack. woohoo!

 This run actually feels like something I like. It was fun to go to the library and be able to study, then run back. It also helped that I could act like a lost back-packer the whole entire time. I got some odd looks!

This was my first run with my team in forever and a half (which is really since december). We went from our school to this trail-park thing and ran around there. After stumbling a few times and being blinded by how white some of the shirtless boys are, I ran back to the school and did my push ups and sit ups. I also made a new friend who is actually real!

How do I feel about this run? It was freaking HOT!!! I felt like I was going to melt and join the river. I also learned that I am not used to trails. I can't count how many times I fell on this run! I am very happy I ran and I can tell I'm getting better.

This week is the kick off of adding more miles in to a week time. So Today I had to go to the dentist for Root Canal: Part One, so I missed running with my team. So after texting my coach, I went to sugar house park on my own and ran around it two times, equaling four miles. One mile warm up, two mile speed changes, and one mile cool down. After I ran home, and since I ran there, that gives me another mile, equaling five miles. After I passed out on my couch for a very long time.

Today I didn't have to go to heck on earth, so I went to cross country practice. We started with two miles warm up to the hospital, down to the stadium, and back to Sunnyside Park. At sunnyside, we did two miles of  fartlek training (one minute pushing, one minute recovery). I had to walk at times because the dizzy feeling was coming back and passing out did NOT sound exciting. After, we played ultimate frisbee for the cool down. I am extremely uncoodinated so not really playing didn't come as a surprise to my team. Hopefully tomorrow will be easier!

Imagine me, up at seven, waiting on my porch for Patrick to come get me. But oh wait, he fell back asleep! So once again I have to miss a team workout. So instead I ran up to the zoo and worked on some hills on that evil trail. After, I ran home. It was fun to sing while running because singing while running sounds more like gasping to a certain tune :)

(Hercules Jeremy) ran one with me to push me (he thought it was just to stay with me, but I pushed). And on the warm up I kept up with Dakota, even though I had to keep stopping because Michelle's dog had to...dispose? haha! Well, I still feel sick, but it was a productive day :D

 Later I ran to the library which is a mile. And than I ran back :D

I still did AND BEAT SQUISHY-FACE! BUAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, it made me extremely happy because we all know he will always beat me normally. But the night before this I saw Avatar: The last airbender, so I was handicapped. hehe, we got fourth and I barely ever walked :)

Okay, beating me was a fluke, and only because I didnt get my bike fast enough on that last hand off. So you beating me was only because of Javier.

From Sally(Not Amy) on Sun, Jul 04, 2010 at 13:22:02 from 24.10.232.240

But Javiar always beats me at the workouts, so I still feel happy. And this was about teamwork.

This morning the team went through the jcc trail. We were supposed to to eight miles, but since I was idiotic and forgot water I only did six. I was about to puke and some mutant mosquito attacked me.

 To make up for cutting off two miles, I ran to the library and back WITH BOOKS! It's like the rocks on jcc without the tripping :)

Today was the Dreaded and anticipated SLURPEE RUN! In this run, you ran to seven different 7/11's and had to down a slurpee at each one, then run to the next. This was the biggest adventure for Patti, Becca and I! First, we meet at the first one. Then we passed Rachel's house so we stopped to say hello. She didn't answer. Then at the next one, a policeman almost gave us a ride. In between the second at third we stopped at this weird hotel that gave us lemon water. Soon we were at the next one. Going toward the last shop, I spilled my slurpee and soon after a kid threw a crab apple at me! Karma much? This whole entire run I realllly had to go potty, so at the very end I was just sprinting! haha! Well I met some new people from Illinois and we played ultimate frisbee. After this all was done, a few of us went to Dans to get lucky charms. Well one of our team members was holding an extra pair of shoes and the worker thought he was barefoot, so she kicked us all out. Such a fun (and sickening) run! Glad I went! SO LONG

So today was the worst run I have ever had. It makes me scared of going running again. I was doing fine when I started to go straight into not being able to see and my head was pounding like made. So I cut down a hill before highland, trying to see what was happening. When I got to the drinking fountain, my legs gave out and sent me sprawling. Soon I couldn't keep my eyes open because of the headache. I woke up again and saw some of my team on their cooldown. I tried to follow them but the same thing happened again. The next time I woke up I couldn't figure out where I was. It took me ten minutes to realize I was still at the park. I stumbled to highland and there my dad found me. I'm still shaking and I'm scared to go outside. Yikes

In all my running, I've never blacked out or experienced vision distorting headaches. This sounds scary. What did your coach say? Have you seen a doctor?

From Sally(Not Amy) on Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 18:57:16 from 24.10.232.240

It was mainly because of the heat and lack of water. And it could be an affect of exercise induced asthma. I just have to drink a lot and make sure it isn't too hot outside. And having a whole team yelling at you to drink more helps too :)

From Sally(Not Amy) on Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 18:59:26 from 24.10.232.240

But I also have chronic headaches, so the heat made those act up and impair my vision.

So today I didn't really feel like going to Cotton Wood Complex with my team and die again, so I ran an easy five miles on my own at about eight AM

 At eleven AM, Patti brought me to the dreadmills and I did about four miles on that. But then I got bored of that so I used the odd bike thing for six miles, which equals two running miles.

 

Then at about four PM, Patti and I doorbell ditched RJ and Taylor, resulting in my last three miles. TADA!

Today the team went to Wheeler Farm and did a three mile warm up, Fartliks, hills and a very small cooldown. During the fartliks I was wheezing and coughing a lot, and my vision was kind of blacking out, but I really wanted to finish the run. I only walked six steps and I was pushing Patrick pretty hard.

 Later that day I just did a small mile that made me feel nice and loosen up a little after how sore and tight I was from the workout.

Today I faced the same workout I failed monday. This time I did the full two laps around the cemetery, all ten hills and the cool down without passing out. I made sure I had a ton of water. I was coughing and wheezing again, but I'm going to the doc about exercise induced asthma. So maybe that will help me. And it COOLING DOWN!

PM-I did another mile to loosen up because it helped a lot yesterday. Well that's the end!

Wow! You really are hardcore, huh?

We haven't met, but just wanted to drop in for a bit, hope you don't mind.

I have asthma and know exactly what you are talking about. It is amazing what a difference the proper medication can make.

I have looked over your past couple of weeks of running. You seem to have a lot more determination than most. That will take you far in this sport.

One thing that kind of made me sad was noticing how often you feel like you are going to pass out, the headaches, etc. Running is so so so much more fun when you feel like you are getting stronger with each mile.

I hope I am not putting my nose where it shouldn't be, but I really want to see you succeed in this sport. There is so much pressure put on female athletes. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take care of yourself.

Btw, I am glad that you are hydrating. Are you only drinking water? If I don't take in enough calories in any run over an hour I will start to feel light headed. Some of us are like that. I noticed that when I started getting more calories in my body throughout tough runs (and before and after) that my body responded so so so much better. Not only did my speed increase, but my recovery was also better. This is something I have to remind myself of OFTEN. As a female, we often forget how important it is for us to take care of our bodies on every level. :)

Can't wait to see where running takes you.

I hope you don't mind my just stopping in.

(Btw, you and I have a lot in common ... I am in my 30s but am still consumed by beating the boys!!!)

From Sally(Not Amy) on Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 20:24:11 from 24.10.232.240

I'm hoping that asthma is the problem because then I can start helping myself. Even though I am hurting everyday, I can tell I'm doing a whole lot better. Like with yesterday's run; walking only six steps is a lot better than last week when I felt like I needed to walk half the time. I guess I have been only drinking water. I've always been scared that food would make me vomit. But maybe me feeling sick is the LACK of food. I forget about that a lot.

Thank you so much for dropping in! The advise helped so much and the encouragement makes me want to keep going and push in front! Time for Varsity!

Today we went to the track to do a speed workout. I detest workouts on the track. If we could do hurdles on the grass, I'd be a happy girl. Our warm up was two miles around the boring track and then a mile speed changes. Then we times our mile (7:15) our 800 (3:10) and two 400's (no clue). Three mile cool down with GRASS laps. I love those. I was really tired and sore and felt seriously sick. But RJ and I found a fire-breathing rhino in the sky. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RJ!!!

AM-The team went to The Peace Gardens to run on that trail. I'm starting to find it BORING! But that odd metal bridge was freaking scary! I was REALLY sore, but I ran faster to push out of it. I'm excited for XC! I just want school to come!

 PM-I went to Sugarhouse and did a lap around, then ran to the cemetary and back. I think that's about five miles. Maybe more, but I don't want to assume. Oh, and I wish we would never run at sugarhouse because it is as cursed as JCC trail :P

You ran ... thats the good thing about this.

Well the speed is good too, but we did 2 1-mile repeats.

Good job on running on your own though. I know how hard ten miles by yourself can be.

I ran the same run monday, but coming went to tanner park and turned around. From my house, that's eight miles. It was rocking because I went crazy early and I blasted music so I didn't really think about pain.

'Forget and Not Slow Down' is my 2-mile song ... Jerk...

But on a side note, you have some great dedication, prepare to see some actually GOOD times this year.

That is if you run distance in track, or else I'll have to change that to good times this season.

From Sally(Not Amy) on Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 23:20:26 from 24.10.232.240

RJ told me that he used it for regions last year. Oh well.

Good times as in Race times, or Friend Times. I think both :)

Does the 800 count as distance? Cause I'm seriously considering it, but I still love hurdles and long jump. I'm not a fan of sprinting, there is just not enough time in the race for it to seem important to me.

Today was odd. I thought my coach had told me one lap. He said two. Then during the 400's I had an attack. My coach saw and put me on probation. But I'm coming back, and I'm coming back strong...if I can come back...which I will!

An asthma attack? An attack of the killer tomatoes? Did your coach put you on probation because you had an asthma attack and he feared for your health and well being or what? I'm so confused....

From Sally(Not Amy) on Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 15:15:55 from 24.10.232.240

"Welcome Back Kotter" :) (sorry, you'd have to be a geezer to get that)

Sorry you have asthma, but hurray for diagnosis!! And an even bigger HURRAY for a treatment plan/inhaler.

I would think your times will start dropping like a rock when you figure out when and how to use your inhaler. Breathing is really a necessary part of running and that whole passing out during a run thing can't be much fun.

AM!! Ten good miles: I woke up super early to finish my English Essay (which is why I couldn't go to xc). After I did, I ran down to east (two and a half using side streets), up to Sunnyside park, and then I proceeded to do the workout the varsity team did yesterday, but instead of going back to Sunnyside, I went home! That added another seven and a half. I had to use my inhaler during the run again, which isn't happy making. We'll see though...

 PM part 1! So I decided maybe today I can't do another ten at once, so I just did five miles. Down to Sugarhouse, two laps around, and back home. Hopefully I can do more today.

After Lagoon (woo!) I was just going to do a mile to make an even fifty, but ended up doing six. I ended up going to sugarhouse and thinking 'what the heck? Let's run around it twice!'. So I did! Six miles to end a great day...even though I have a dance :D

Today was the big day. The day to decide who is on varsity. Sarah and I did a two mile warm up, easy and slow, ready for the race. Then it was soon time to line up. I noticed a couple of girls on the line that expect to be on varsity but NEVER come to practice. Was I going to let them show me up? No freaking way! I knew one was going to be really good, so I focused on the other. I let her stay in front of me, while I gradually pushed ahead, as to not tire myself too quickly. By about halfway through I passed her. She kept up a fight, using her sprinting skills she has in track. The only problem with that is that I have those sprinting skills too and the endurance. Soon she fell behind and I pushed ahead. At about the 800 to the end mark, I could hear the other girls catching up. I heard John's voice and started to full on sprint. I almost tripped on a flag and had to dodge a tree, but I hit the finish strong. Later 'cough cough' I learned I got sixth out of girls, putting me on varsity. Yes, the both girls who never come got on too, but I beat one of them! And if they keep skipping they won't be able to keep up. Now I'm nervous!!!

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?

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!

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.

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...

(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!!!!

Blood and mud, what more could you want? (except maybe a pass and puke:)

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.

Be careful with your asthma right now. The smoke from the fires in Herriman is trying to cause me all kinds of havoc right now. So be careful. Also, you need to make sure that cold does not get into your chest. Call your doc if you need to. It is much easier to take care of it in the beginning stages. Do you have an asthma doc that you see or just a primary care physician? I love my asthma doc. He is GREAT!

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?

Take care of your body and get better. Have your super boyfriend make you some super chicken soup for supper.

Two mile warm up. I felt great for that! Then...on about the mile mark of the race I was in third place and my lungs started to fill with goo. Then at the 1.5 mile mark I couldn't breathe. At 2 miles I collapsed entirely. Now I can't run until I find out what the guacamole is wrong!

So I got on a steroid inhaler (:P) and I had to rest for a few days, but now I'm back! Today I needed to do small stuff, so Patti and I did laps around Liberty. I had to go sooooo slow and my lungs hurt all night after, but I'm back!!!

AM-I went on a fun two mile hike with the team up to these freaking awesome waterfalls! But then someone knocked me and my phone went flying...into the water. Hey, the fishies on my cover finally got to swim!

 PM-I went for two laps around Sugarhouse park for four miles. I wanted to keep it really easy and nice.

I had a phone go through the wash once. I took it apart and dried it well. It worked for a few more months before it finally died.

So after finishing my death physics assignment FINALLY, I went on an adventure run with Ricky B. We were planning on three miles but we just kept talking and talking and BAM! it was already five out! We decided to turn back because it was getting dark. But it was so much fun! I'm excited to love running again :D

Today I ran to East Track, did two miles of speed changes, two 800's, four 400's, eight 200's and one more mile of speed changes before running home. First speed day in a while and it felt okay. I hate those two hundreds though :P

Today I was about to fall apart because of my terrible life, so I woke up pretty early and went running until my legs wouldn't work anymore. then I ran back home. Pounding out problems helps, but only for a little bit. Maybe it'll get better though

I am really sorry that things are so tough for you right now. It is great that you have found running while you are so young. It took me over 30 years to find it. It really is a great coping mechanism when life because too stressful.

Also, be happy that you have found physics so young as well! I am 37 and taking Physics at the University of Utah right now. Physics is stressful for sure! In fact, I wore my running clothes to my last test knowing that I would need to hammer out some good miles afterwards instead of pulling out my hair! :)

Hang in there!

Things work out.

Today I was planning on going nine, but at the three mile mark I ended up having a bad panic attack because I fell so I cut it down. I was at five and a half by the time I got to the track and then I did a half mile with Abigail on the track when we saw I snake! It was so random and I thought it was a stick!
