Runner's Foot

Today was a fun, but long track meet.  For the mile I ran in the slower heat and I consistently stayed in third the whole race.  During the third lap, for some whatever reason I thought the race was finishing, so I sprinted the last 400 meters of the third lap like an idiot.  I took third in my heat behind Josh Gibb, which was personally disappointing to me, but it just added fuel to the fire and I'm going to hammer these upcoming workouts and hopefully have a good outcome on friday and future meets to come.  My current goal is to race in the fast heat and not be the last Desert Hills kid to cross the finish before the season is over.  I'm excited to get going! 

Kenyan run today.  My calves were a little tight but I felt really good during the whole thing.  I think my massage from Adam at the running center helped tremendously.  I stayed up with the whole group during the 200 repeat finishes which was encouraging.  Excited to race tommarow in the 4x800!

Workout felt really good today and I'm super excited for the pineview relays tommarow!  Holy cow packed week this week with the three different meets.  its getting rough, but I know it will be worth it next X country season!

Today was a pretty fun nonchalant meet.  It was serioiusly fun to watch the distance kids do the hurdles.  I wish every meet could be like that.  (not really)

Easy run on the trails today.  I felt really good through the whole thing, but it's that season again where I have to put the hat back on.  Sunburning is a real danger to us gingers.

Today I really felt the heat.  It is definetly getting hotter outside, but besides that I felt pretty god through the whole thing.  I felt pretty winded after the fifth 400 repeat, but after the short water break that everybody took, I was able to hit my splits with a couple seconds to spare.  My main goal at this point is to get my cardio level of endurance higher so I can better keep up with the rest of the A group.  Excited for the meet on Thursday! 

Nice relaxing kenyan run today, but had to leave early for my piano lesson.  I finished the rest of my milage on my own afterwards.  

Today was interesting and really fun.  We just ran 200 meter finishes to our hearts content with a two-mile warmup.  It was pretty fun to see how many we could all do.  I stopped after 15 because my shoes were giving me some mild pains in my arch so I just took my shoes off and jogged on the turf for the rest of practice.  I'm glad were not going to the richfield meet as a team on Saturday; it would have taken forever.

Easy kenyan run today.  Excited for tommarow.

Felt good today during the easy four miles, and I have high hopes for the jv meet tommarow.  Gotta get below 5.10 and I also want to know josh gibbs time tonight so I can shoot to take it down.
