just for the run of it

today there was no school!! we had practice at 10 which meant i got to sleep in (:(: we have simplot this week so we are on low mileage. did a one mile warm up then had 10x400s at goal two mile pace. my times consisted between 81 and 85s which is about 10:50-11:20 range. don't know if ill be going quite that fast, but i defintely am going to try and qualify for finals which would probably require around an 11:45. after the 400s we had 2x100 m finishes which i felt like I had a lot better form. shoutout today goes to the boys cause i had no girls to do the workout with and they killed it. grateful for my watch, sir watch, cause he did a stellar job of pacing.

ran loop by watson and guppys house but backwards. it was solid and felt nice and the weather was fabulous. grateful for shorts weather. shoutout to rachel for helping me fix my watch.

ran mileage and pre meet. wasn't feeling super great after pre meet so took that pretty slow. sami needs to come back cause i miss her. 

so today was quite the day. sami Collin and guppy and i drove up to Pocatello (3 hours) and got there and since the track is super sloped, guppy and i ran 1000 m on it to get used to it. had a few hours before i raced so just chilled and watched the boys race. shoutout to connor cause he made it finals! and shootout to tom for getting 15th which is hecka awesome! finally warmed up a mile outside which wasn't too cold. got ready for my race and started out. went faster than I was planning on but went with it cause i was feeling good. got a 5:45 first mile then focused on staying with girls and passing them.shoutout to papa heaps cause he coached me so well through that race. i had a pretty strong finish and passed a girl in the last 60 m. got a pr of 11:43 which got me 8th overall which qualifies me for finals on Saturday!! so I'll be back :) cooled down .6 by myself then did a mile with sami. got some cafe rio which was FANTASTIC. well peace out until tomorrow.

ran 3.25 with watson and sami (guppy a lil) and did the loop. it was nice and slow, my legs defintely needed it. they wanna be all rested up for tomorrow. after the loop i did 3 strides to get my legs going a tiny bit fast. i cooled down the rest on the turf which felt super amazing. grateful for the beautiful sky. shoutout to guppy and connor cause they're gonna kill it tomorrow!

ran .5 cause my legs were feeling rusty from the car ride. about 45 min before i warmed up a mile. started on the race and went out way too fast. my first mile was somewhere from a 5:30-5:40. my legs felt super tired from thursday and i lost it mentally. definitely should've started out slower and built up. the second mile was what got me. i ended with an 11:55 which considering the car ride and racing on Thursday, wasn't too bad, i just wish i had a stronger mental game and was able to push myself a little bit more. im so ready for outdoor season and im already wanting to race again. shoutout to jamie cause she's the best coach ever. and grateful for naps cause i took a pretty quality one after my race.

ran 4 during lunch today cuz work. started at a pretty fast pace but after about the first mile and a half my calves just felt wrecked. slowed it down to more recovery which was good. after school i ran 2 with the good ole crew. tried playing chicken with the guys but my shoe got stuck in a fence lol. my calves felt better so that was good. 

today we ran up dreammaker to prepare for awesome week here in a few days. actually had to take off my jacket and gloves cause it was so hot!!! made a solid loop back to the high school for 5 miles. watson and i finished up a mile on the turf because my calf still hurt a bit, but barefoot running is a nice remedy. had upper body weights. then we did some abs outside cause it was so warm!! shoutout to Collin and the other guys for doing them with us girls. sami and i had a mini yoga sesh which was high class. after that i went in and bike 1 min on 1 off 3 on 3 off 5 on 5 off then did that set again except the 5 min one cause Dallin and i had to go. 

woke up pretty early this morning and had a nice run. it's weird running in the morning but it makes me miss summer practices. 

did the mile loop and then a turf mile to warm up. had a mile of speed, 2 sets of 200-400-200 with the 200s at 800 pace and the 400s at mile pace. hit all my times, but the workout was a lil harder than expected. did another mile and a half on the turf cause my calves were burnin. then sami and i went on main and did a mile and a half to finish up her mileage. came back and did another mile on the turf cause why not. grass runnin at its finest. did some abs with sami. realized it's really hard to abs while laughing. then sami and i did some squats. shoutout to sami for rolling me out after that cause my legs feel super good. i biked a set of 1 min on 1 min off 3 min on then 3 min off then 5 min on 5 min off. i realized i also had some upper body weights so then i did those. solid day, it was so pretty outside.

got up this morning and biked to give my calves a bit of rest before awesome week. 

today i actually got to sleep in so that was solid. i ran up into highland on a nice distance run. it was so pretty and i love running in the mornings. shoutout to dallin for running with me! 

mile warm up then for the start of awesome week we got to run the dream maker. that's the first hill workout ive had in awhile. by the end of it my legs hurt so bad, but it felt good finishing. crazy winds were not in our favor, but i mean, what are ya gonna do. shoutout to my good ol pal watson for having an awesome kick at the end.
