Eat. Sleep. Run.

First day of Cross!  Nice barefoot half mile warm up. Up to Maverick for 30 minutes total. That reminds me I need a watch. Anyways, it felt great to run with the girls again.  Thanks to Macey and Kaelie for running with me!(:  I love running!! After missing last year's season and track because of my broken foot I can't wait to get into this year and work harder than ever.  It's going to be awesome!

Mileage:  3.5 miles

Started with a half mile barefoot grass warm up. I felt extra tired today for some reason.  We ran the tortuoise trail run in the desert.  I am not quite sure how far i went but my estimate is about 3. Ran with Josh on the way back.  He helped push me along! Thanks to him I think I did better on the way back then the way out. Then add another half mile with the running club which was a blast!  I was with the 5th and 6th grade boys.  Had fun with the relay race and capture the flag.  Great day!  Could do better staying with Coach Rob and them.  I will work harder to do that!!

Mileage: about 4 miles

Awesome run today!!  I loved the firestation loop. Thanks for running with me Macey!!(:  About 3.5 miles plus a little to end up with 35 minutes. Plus the barefoot grass half mile warm up.  My right calf is pretty sore.  I've been stretching it a lot, rolling it out, and putting icy hot on it. Hopefully it'll get better soon.  Feeling great other than that.  Going to get my physical today...woo. 

Mileage: 4 miles

Barefoot grass half mile warm up with barefoot grass 30 minute run today.  Easy day at the baseball field with Macey most of the time.  Felt great!  My calf still hurts.  Got 16 laps at the field so that's about 4 miles.  I'm excited for tomorrow's run at the park!

AM-1.5 mile warm up. Speed intervals. 40 minutes today. I stayed with varsity girls for the mile warm up.  I ran with them for awhile at the beginning of the work out.  But fell behind after awhile.  I ran with Kaelie and I think we did well! We finished the last 3 minute interval with the varsity girls and it was tough!  They are speedy haha. I could've done better but I am still trying to catch up with everybody...Missing a season for a broken foot will do that to ya...Anyways!  Hard workout today!  Feeliing like I'm getting better.  Also I made a fruit/spinach/protein smootie!
