Become to Be

Morning- Took forever to get out of bed today.... But today we had a pretty hard work out. It was V02 max work out. Go all out for 15 minutes straight. I ran 2 miles, and 965 meters. Which was 5:35.95 pace for 15 minutes. If I would have contiuned for 3 miles. My time would have be around 16:48ish. Which was my race pace last year. And running that while not in shape yet! I really wonder what amazing things I can do now!! This was a pretty good work out. I just trusted it a little more, and just went. This was for sure a great work out today! I started to get a little negative with it, but after the first mile I was thinking to myself, "Wait I can do this!" So I picked it back up, and made up some ground. I am proud of myself again! :) I was 3rd on the team again. Not that it matters. Reed did amazing! He was only 55 meters behind. That's pretty dang close! Good job Reed!! Good job everyone acutally! Glad to have ran this work out! Can't wait for more! Total distance was 2.679 mileage. Also ran 5 miles total.

Morning- Very hard work out. It consisted of 30/30's. Run 30 seconds rest 30 seconds. My goal was to run 146 meters in 30 seconds. And I was running around 155 meters for most of them. And I ran with Abel, and By-Run and kept up most of the time. It started getting harder around 15. But I still felt fresh. But around 25ish I started to push more, and just keep myself going. Going into the 30's I was like... How many are we going to do?!? But I just told myself to go to 35, and see what happens from there. And I get to 35, and I was really starting to get tired, and I was pushing from about 20's. But coach said he was maxing it out at 40. And I was thanking him! Because I was really feeling it by the end of 40. I did 40. We were also going by atleast 6 blue cones for all 40 of them. The down hill parts I got 26's, and 27's on. And on the uphill I got around 29's, and 30's. It was for sure the hardest work out we have had already. This work out mainly helped me mentally, than physically it felt like. Because racing is the same way. Who can hang in there the longest? Who can keep the pace going the longest? That's what kept me going today! And when we had one left, I thought we had 2 left. And I was just going to crush the last one! Sprint it all out! But turns out I was 1 off counting.... And I had my watch going so that helped alot. I just had it run the whole time, so I could see what times were.  And kids club was super fun today! They raced, some of those kids are pretty dang fast! But I ran with them for 1ish for cool down. I am going to camp for sure now!! :) I stretched for about 20 minutes after everything, because I was sooo tight at the end. My legs will need the nice, and easy run for tomorrow.  But I am ready to get rolling, after this work out today! I really want to get going F-A-S-T!! >:D

Morning- Today's run was sooo easy, and felt amazing just to run slower today! It was a good grass run, and we had a special guest! Trevor! :) That's always nice of super,super,super seniors to come back! But it was a nice run. Legs were a little tight from yesterday's work out. But they felt great after the run! Did striders as well! Worked on form pretty good. I am ready to roll for tomorrow's hill run!!! YEAH!!

Morning- Usual 0.5 mile warm up. Talked a little about life on it with some of the boys. And then did core work. That always goes well! And then we did our run which was 2 parkway hill loops. 7.20 miles total for the run. The first one was a steady pace, but nothing insane. Still required pushing, and all that. I recovered pretty well on the looping part. And on the 2nd one. I had to push way harder than the 1st one, because we were going faster. I lead it most of the way. Well Abel, and I lead this one! We were going 6:25-6:30 up the steep part of the hill. And 6:40 on the bumpy parts. I had to push a lot more at the end. It was for sure a hard work out! I felt pretty sluggish today... I am happy with what I did. My legs felt super heavy like giant bricks lifting one up each time... That never happens.... But it could because of going up hills a lot. But very nice work out! I am super excited for XC camp!

Morning- Went with the team to GS. And later we did the usual stuff, but went on a 7 miler on the trails. It was rather hard towards the end from this weeks work outs. There were a lot of hills in this run. I was tired when we got done. But it's supposed to be 110+. Which really bites.... But the run was nice this morning. I felt kinda tired, and sluggish still. But not as bad as yesterday...

Morning- David and I went out at 9. And ran towards turtle trail, and then flipped it. And then went to Turner Turf Farm. And ran home for 4 miles. It felt humid, but it was pretty warm at 9 in the morning. But it's 115 today! HOT, HOT, and HOT! My legs felt pretty good. I was pretty tired from all this weeks hard runs. Glad to have an easy mileage day.
