Become to Be

Morning- 1.5 mile warm up. 6x1 mile repeats. With 3 minute recovery in between each one. Times were 6:46, 6:48, 6:48, 6:31, 6:14, and 6:11. Something like that. The last few got a little tough, but nothing serious.

Afternoon- 5 miles at camp. The altitude really is higher up here. Felt good to run with the cooler temps in the afternoon. 

Morning- Another 15 miler day. Long day today! Another run up at XC camp. Went 12 straight out. I told myself that I would just have to run for an hour, and then I could finish it off. With about 30 minutes left I started to feel eh. After 8.5 miles. But we got going around 6:40 pace in the meadows. So the pace increased. But at mile 10 we ran up this giant hill. And I pushed up that sucker. And it was tough. But I did it. And I was exhausted when we got done. And I was glad to be done. Glad to get a 12 miler in. First one of the year! :) 

Afternoon- 3 miles easy. Well this run was the easiest run up here.  

Camp- At camp tonight we had our XC-imony. It really changed my thought on runnig in a good way.  

Morning- 6 miles up the giant hill at camp. It was tough, and I felt sluggish right when I woke up. I tried my best today to push up the hill. But it conquered me today speed wise... But I got it next time! >:D And I died on the way back.

Afternoon- This run was way better than the morning run. And just as hard, or even harder. But we went down into this canyon, and I took a nap today, so that's why I felt better on this run. But the canyon was all down hill, and we went 1.8 out to find the river where treassure got stuck a few years ago. And ran back up that was tougher, but I felt amazing for some reason! And I helped out the boys a lot to keep going, and myself. Good run! Felt amazingly great on this run! :) 

Morning- 4 miles just today on this pretty tough hill run. Coach didn't run on it, before and wanted it to be flat, but it ended up having hills. And it made me tougher today. I felt terrible this morning. But this weeks longer runs are catching up on me... Last day at camp... :(

Afternoon- 3 miles in the blazing heat, and I wanted to die... And I felt terrible, even worse than yesterday.

Night- 7 miles with attempted 2 miles tempo. I was supposed to go 8, but I just over worked my body in the last few days.... I felt abousutely terrible on this run. I ran 3 with David, so he could get his double in for the day. And than up to the dirt mile, and ran 2 loops at attempted tempo pace. I was supposed to go 6:00 minute pace for 3 miles. And I hit the first mile at 6:08, so not too bad. And then the next mile was 6:20ish. And I could tell I was off pace a lot. And I couldn't breath at 1.5 miles into the tempo. And I decided to stop after mile 2... And I almost threw up 4 times. I also couldn't breath, and had no energy at all. Running today just felt like a chore, and was very unmotivated to run at all.... 

Night- After working all day. And shoveling for 8 hours of it in the scorching heat. It was 107 today.... I was in the sun all day. And got off at 6 at night. And went running at 8. I felt soo terrible on my run physically, and mentally. My miles were who knows how slow... I was just glad to be able to move one leg in front of the other. I just over worked myself the last few days this week... And some how I over work my body, which I don't feel like I do, because I am too stubborn. I was dying today overall. And think I over did it...
