Started from the bottom now I'm…slowly improving

kinda slow getting out today. Called tayboy to see if she wanted to come out with me..unfortunatly she just showered and didnt feel like getting all stinky again..odd. legs felt heavy today..getting little tired of the loop around my hill so i went a slightly different route and ended up finding another trail so ill have to try that out sometime this week. But im getting excited about track season! My runs are spent thinking about either what track will be like or what im going to blog :) Its nice to actually be motivated about something again. Im pretty sure I haven't been this motivated to do good at something since the end of sophomore swim season. Now if only mom could see that.. haha (:

Tried out the new trail i found today..super duper purdy. tayboy would have loved it. maybe one day she will love me enough to come run with me. Im trying to work on lengthening my stride so ive been concentrating on that for main part of my run along with getting a nice push from the ball of my foot. Exciting moment of the run- I stepped in some semi wet cement so maybe my footprint will be there forever!! 

FINALLY got tayboy to come run with me! Prolly because it wasnt until like 1 in the afternoon but hey. So..ive had a goal in mind since before summer training to run up this trail in coral canyon called Mount Everest (aka cardiac arrest) its super duper steep + few switchbacks, but have always been a little weary of the idea. So as we passed the trail head today i told taylor my little goal and said i was planning on doing it sometime this week and she said "well why not today?" so we did! it was difficult but not as lengthy as i expected. Boyer hauled it while i did my best to keep up. Felt good to kick off 2014 by accomplishing what seemed like an impossible goal at the time of setting it.

Finally with the team again(: ran mostly with Anna which was great! 

Only ran two today so I could run with my aunt and uncle tomorrow and not go over mileage. 

went for a nice little run with the famdam. (adam, nat and momma) quite the little work out. Ran down mt. everest trail then through coral canyon to the water tower. Not only was this trail steeper than mt. everest but it was longer too. But it was a fun challenging trail. If you need me ill be rolling and stretching my legs for the next two days. :)
