UNSTOPPABLE

i ran at the marathon! SO much fun! first i ran 3 miles with stoner and mia and rachel H. to finish their mileage. we against the traffic and cheered at everone. then i added on a mile down the hill after our aid station and back. then i waited around until we found rachel H's dad and we ran with him for 2 mils. but we still wanted to run to the finish so we did! i had so much fun and i saw a ton of people that i knwo. by the time we got to the finish line i had finished my mileage so we couldnt run back and we didnt have a ride back so we walked the 4 miles back to the aid station! terrible idea but had fun anyway.

race day! i havent been that nervious for a race in a long time! but it was good cause i felt like i did pretty well. i dont know my time or anything but i was right behind lakyn and kaylee wasnt too far ahead of me. i felt so so good pretty much the whole time except the last time up the hill but then i still had a strong finish after that though. i got to race Ruth too. well kinda. once i caught her in the race and went to pass her she turned off and stopped. (injuries) well even though i felt like it was a good race im still ahve lots of room to improve.

pre meet on the golf course. so we ran around the course once and then did a 1000 and some starts.

50% easy and fun run. we were told to make it fun! Feeling tons better than yesterday but not all the way better yet. the first chunk of the run i felt like i was dragging myself but i could breath. it was up hill too. but the i adjusted. then we got to the Sheep Tunnels! reminded me of neon spider run. WAY cool. it was a super long tunnel but there were holes in the cieling so there was some light. but the ceiling was so low- i thought i was gonna hit my head. i felt better in the tunnle cause it was cooler and i was having fun. but we stopped at the end so people could put thier shoes back on (i was the only dumb one that kept mine on through the water at the end) and when we started running again i had a side cramp. i finally got feeling good on the run and the overpass with about a mile and a half to go. so it was a success in making it fun and i hope to be feeling better tomorrow and for the race.

terrible Terrible run! actually work out. i was so sick and could barely breath during the warm up drills. but i hate the thought of missing a work out so  i talked my self into doing it. we did: 2 laps warm up, 4 laps 80% continued around the loop around the coliseum and up to zions bank. then the 2 mile canyon run as fast as you can. well i fell off pace on the third lap around the track but still pushed myself until zions bank. coughed a whole bunch there but once again talked myself into finishing the work out. but i was Way not where i was supposed to be. i think i came in second to last. when coach asked me what was wrong and i told him it was just cause i was sick (not cause i was hurting) he just told me that i should just tell him if im sick and i probably shouldnt have ran. oops- well im stubborn. but he had everyone be done for the day after that anyway, so we didnt do weights or finish our mileage, but we did sit in the river for our ice bath which was nice!

4 chill miles at 50% pace. we ran with all the girls today (all that could make it at that time) so it was super fun. the high light story of the run was about the new couple on the team. very interesting! then 10 strides at the end
