Started from the bottom now I'm…slowly improving

walked about a quarter of the way. very tired after...

.5 for warm up, 1 mile for run and .5 during kids club. felt decent. i enjoyed the route (maverick) walked about a fourth of the way back

ran mostly, walked most way back...felt real cruddy

grass run. Prolly my best run so far. Even though i was at the back of the pack i ran the farthest i have so far. Only walking twice for max of 10 sec. Also was the quickest recovery so far! Felt really good :)

Up north on vacation and decided to go on a run in the park across the street..did grass warm up just like at home and then ran one whole mile WITHOUT WALKING!! goal accomplished one week in advance!!! Felt so great when i finished even though i wanted to die. So yes..you can praise me. 

So basically running by myself sucks. Friday i dragged my sister with me and was able to run the whole time. Today i went by myself and ended up walking a lot more then i would have liked. I noticed my hip starting to hurt so that was part of the reason for walking..im sure as soon as i get it adjusted and stretch better it will be back to norm. Headed up to efy today with TayBoy so hopefully they will let us run while we are there!!

Oh my goodness I feel like I almost died! First time back running in a week cause they wouldn't let me up at efy. We did .5 grass warm up then ANOTHER mile warm up and THEN the workout (how far and fast in 6min {785}). Heck last time I ran, the one mile was the workout!! To round up the day they wanted us to go yet another mile for "cool down" HA. I ended up just running .5 on the track...cause I didn't feel like dying today. But on the bright side I am starting to see why my friends love running so much. So far no matter how cruddy the run or workout is..I feel fantastic after. Sure beats eating potato chips while watching Modern Family like every other fat american.

Ran the dirt mile trail but i didn't actually run any laps on the dirt...cause im in lowest level :) This is the farthest i have ran thus far! I thought I was gunna die! My legs kill cause i didn't roll them out as well as I usually do after practice yesterday. So I should prolly do that... :) Kids club was a blast..and super tiring..haha. My group is so grand! But all I can think about during kids club is "oh..poor krenshaw" as he is mobbed by little demon boys. (distance from kids club not included)

Its amazing what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it!! Unfortunately..today was not one of those days. I was in pain the whole time. Every step hurt..all the muscles ache so bad :/ and on top of that, i was at the very back running with myself. In these situations its rather hard to keep a positive attitude especially as the kids going twice or three times the distance as you pass and say "good job!" when you know you suck. haha but as weird as it may seem today motivates me to keep coming so hopefully eventually i don't round up the pack(: and to stretch more..haha (grass run..and skipped striders cause i body wouldn't allow my legs to move anymore.)

While all you supah fast kids are out running your 6+ miles i'm already at home, showered and about time for my nap :) But i find it true that the most cruddy days make for the best runs. I almost didn't come this morning cause of how awful yesterday was for me, but my carpool (amber) was back in town and encouraged me to come :) Amber ran with me today and we ran the whole time!! Last time i did that i was up north running with my sister. Its a lot easier to push myself when i run with someone else verses myself!!

For some reason..injuries love me. They always find me! Warm up was fine. My shins don't hurt too bad when I run...most the time. Every now and again there is a shot of pain and then when i stop running they hurt..really bad. Because of this i didn't go the full distance today. i  only went one and skipped striders again cause it was hurting too bad. That being said i decided im going to keep a positive attitude towards my injury and not use it as an excuse to slack off in practice or even skip as i do with my shoulder for swim. Im going to actually do the stuff to make it better! haha who knows maybe it will work :) So besides Icing, rolling, stretching, and ankle circles..anything else i can be doing to speed up recovery process of shin splints?

ran with shaylee at the rec. felt good first time with new shoes
