AM: 3 miles Arctic Circle. First morning practice this year and it felt SO good! I'm going to be tired this weekend though but who cares :)

PM:Shoerun today again... It was so warm outside!!! Can't believe it's only February, hehe. It felt really good though.

AM: 3 miles to Arctic Circle. I'm so proud!

PM: Trail Thursday= 5 miles. We went up to the mountain by the airport and it was actually the bes trail run so far. I really liked it! 

AM: 3 miles around my neighborhood. Yes! Felt gooooddiieee!

PM: Today we went hospital run. Mia could unfortunately not join us, a real bummer! The run was really good. You can tell when you've run that hideous hill because the stairs in school are killing your legs, haha. 

Mia and Mia were early birds this morning. Who needs to sleep when you can run? That's what I thought! I love the Saturday runs because they are short and afterwards you actually have more than a 24 hour rest :)

AM: Couldn't get a ride to practice this morning so I went out for a little run myself. It was like 3 miles and it felt SO good. Bad thing though it's so hard to get up and go..

PM: 8 miles Hospital extended on a trail. On a trail that led us to.. a gas station? I don't even know where we went haha. If you'd ask me to run it again I would not be able to do it without Kaylee. She kind of knows the way. Isn't it funny how bad I am at remembering ways etc? Hm.. I think so. Anyway.. It felt really good until the last mile. Since the two last ones were tempo, I got kind of tired. Felt like I was going to throw up, but luckily I didn't! Hopefully I just felt like that because it was the first "work out" of the season. It will get better, I'm sure! 

After the run we had weights. They felt fine! 

AM: Ran 3 miles by myself in the morning. Want to add some mileage before I leave to Miami.

PM: 6 miles to Green Springs. It felt really good. Some of the girls like to make 1000 stops on the way but I made sure we had a good pace.. haha.

AM: 3 miles around the mountain. 

PM: Green Pole. Yes. It didn't feel very good, but we made it so I guess it was ok! By the way, I don't think I like this run. Hm. 

AM: Arctic Circle. I like the morning runs with the girls. So boring to run by yourself!

PM: Trail Thursday. We went up to Dixie Rock. I felt like poop the whole time. Literally. I did. The only thing I was thinking about was the turn around, that unfortunately never came! We passed the 2.5 mile mark thinking it was a loop. It wasn't! We ended up running 6 miles (or more, we kind of got lost haha) but the end was pretty fun, I like when Rachel takes the lead and leads us to random places. Because she doesn't have a clue, haha!

AM: Last morning run this week. I was excited! 3 miles around the mountain.

PM: Okay, so I've been arguing with Jp about running Parkway forever, and finally I got it my way! It wasn't as hideous as she described it, I actually liked this run (I don't dare write anything else haha). It felt good, because Friday runs always does. Yes! And by the way, Parkway is 8 miles.  

PM: No trail Thursday today. After my 5-days break in Miami I felt really good about running again! We ran the Taleah course, which was 3 miles, and then we added Hot Nails to that. We ended up running 6 and it felt really good. I guess the break didn't effect me too bad.

AM: Arctic Circle and back!

So, the day of the Taleah race! Me, Stoner & Mia ran to the school which was 5 miles, just a warm up you know. Haha. The race itself felt really good, yes it did! I tried to stick with Rachel and I guess it worked until the very finish at the track. I took third and I was so excited about getting one of those life strength bracelets, haha. I don't know the time exactly but I guess it was around 20:15-20:20. We did 1 mile cool down so we ended up running a total of 9 miles. 

Sunrise Hill. Because it's President's Day today we got together at 8 am and ran a hill work out. It was freezing cold and my muscles weren't ready to work so the beginning felt like crap. More towards the end it started to feel better, but when we were done I was tired, I'm not going to lie. We did 3 full  hills and 4 half. And we also ran over there and back, of course. I guess half a hill is 200 m while one is 400. And then up and down blah blah ended up being 6 miles. I think we were supposed to run a total of 8 but none told us so.. I guess coach will yell at us tomorrow. Hehe.

AM: 3 miles to Arctic Circle and back. Felt gooodie!

AM: Arctic Circle. Thumbs up!

PM: So, today was the time trial day. How nervous I've been ever since coach told us yesterday. Well, we started with a 2 mile warm up (DI loop) and then we ran the mile. It went by so fast I don't even remember. I wanted to stick with Kaylee so I did. At least for two laps, haha. I'm pleased with today's effort and sine I barely remember the run, I assume it was nice. Didn't feel like crap or so. We finished with one more mile (a bit slower this time) and then the DI loop backwards. I don't know my time trial time yet, but as soon as I know I'll post it!

AM: Arctic Circle - 3 miles.

PM: 7 mile run to the house out in Washington Fields. I felt really crappy. Yes I did.. 

AM: Arctic Circle - 3 miles.

PM: Got a fever so had to go home from school.. Can't believe I couldn't run my first half marathon due to FEVER. A real bummer!!! 

No morning practice for me since I've been sick all weekend! 

AM: Arctic Circle, still only 3 miles hehe.

PM: Ran over to the old man hills for a hill work out.. The run over there was pretty good, but don't talk to me about the work out. I felt worse than ever. I literally felt like I was going to throw up!! We did 3x(2x200 + 1x800). The first set felt okay, the second 200's felt okay too, but the second 800 was awful. I ran the last 200's and then I ran over to the Heinrich's house to use their bathroom. I could NOT finish the last 800, I just couldn't. Then, I almost fell asleep right there on the side walk while I was waiting for the girls. And I could barely run back, so Mia had to walk/jog super slowly with me. Felt bad for her! Can't wait until I'm back on track again because this sucks.
