So far I believe this is my longest distance in one run! Nice trail around coral canyon. Lots of hills but it felt really good! Legs felt  nice and loose! So that's an improvement :)

Well today pretty much sucked. My kosmin time kinda freaked me out..it predicted at 6:12 mile which is pretty speedy seeing how last time I ran a times mile I got a 8:40... So for 1000 I'm wanting to hit 4:35 which again is crazy. If you would have told me last week that in 7 days my time would move from 5:23 to 4:35 I prolly would have called you crazy and never have talked to you again fearing that you are insane. So for the first one we stayed in a nice little pack and I was able to push myself and got a 4:45. Crazy right?  Well the second one was lots harder cause half our pack gave up. Next one I got 5:00..still pretty good cause that's like 23 faster  than I was going just last week. Well here comes that third one and I felt like poop and got like 6:something cause I was so tired I didn't get my exact time. After that I was just do mad at myself for not making my time and broke down..kinda a roller coaster today. Some of my best and worse times ever and I'm not really sure how to handle it quite yet. That's all. Weights after.

well they didnt give us times so ill re-update when i find out what my times were! 

1600- felt really good for first 800 passed lots of girls and stayed in front of them for remainder of time. On the 3rd lap the wind was expecially horrid and I was pretty tired by the last lap. Still overall i didnt really feel like i was racing all that much. kinda felt like a harder workout.

800- again this one felt like another workout. the wind was so super awful so it kinda worries me to get my time on this one because i have such a high goal for it this season im a little frightened to compare the two times. But it was just the first meet, super windy and it was more of a workout pace..so we will see :)

400- Wasnt excited to race this at all..and i almost didnt because a girl took my lane. But luckly for me they had room in the last heat so the stuck me in that one.

Back from spring break! im slightly angry at myself for not attending practice all last week but not really much i can do about it now other than to get my butt to practice everyday and work as hard as i can. 4x1000..i was scared for this workout cause last time i did it i didnt finish and almost had a melt down because of how awful i was doing. BUT my times did improve from last time even though i still wasnt hitting my times. Goal-4:50 Times- 4:53, 5:33, 5:35, 5:30. Im rather impressed that we did all four cause anna really wanted to stop after 2 but i talked her into finishing out the workout with me so that is good :) weights after.

Am- 3 with Anna and Sarah. Nice strong pace. 

 

Pm- 4 with striders. Tried my very best to stay up with a group and did a pretty decent job for first 2 miles. Then fell behind during striders and the last two miles back. It was kinda cool to push myself today and even though I wasn't up with the main pack for most the run I still didn't fall very far behind so it was sorta neat to see how far I've come and that I can push myself :)

Great race at hurricane! Weather was pretty good! I took out the first lap pretty fast..only 2 seconds slower than my 400 time so that affected the rest of my race..but in the end I still dropped 17 seconds from the race 2 weeks ago so that's cool(:

Am- 3 miles. I want to start running with top girls during easy runs so when we do those I'm gunna try to stay with them. So this morning I stayed up with Ali Mia and Liz for the first mile! 

Pm- 4 w/striders. River/Sullivan park route. Again I stayed up with the main pack of girls for just over a mile I believe. Then we did striders and played in the water for a bit(: the way back usually takes forever but I just kinda went my own pace. Felt lots shorter than the way there which is odd

Am- workout in the morning cause we had region choir after school. So 4x400 and mile warm/cool. My goal was 1:50 and I went :38, :43, :41, :45. So stayed below the goal. Pretty neat to see that we are actually can be a lot faster than we think we are...so that's always neat

Felt alright about the race. I was so super nervous about it so I was kinda stressed. And about 20 mins before my race I remembered that I hadn't are anything all day so that was fun... I know it wasn't my best so I'll be excited to race it again and try better. My goal is to qualify for byu in this race which is rather ambitious I know. So it's a little scary but it's also motivating to try harder in workouts!
