The morning run went very well and I thought that their state xc course is less difficult thsn mine. I stayed with the first pack for the hole time except for 800 meters my night run was hard I think I was very tried and couldn't keep a good pace I finish hard and like the shake I got after the run.

I ran on a trail and rsn it alone except for the last two miles I also fell 3 times. Ran 8 miles all together.  Feels really good after a nap.

i went to lava hot springs and went on a long run with continuous hills. ran most by my self then with 3 miles to go i ran with Dakota and Sara. then went tubing on the river with the Cross Country team. after we had lunch went to the pool and swam for an hour or so.

AM: ran at peace gardens this morning felt good running until the last mile i got very tired and the back of my knee started to hurt. ran with Chris and Bill. then ran shoots with a light Jog after with Dakota.

AM: I ran 8miles at 7:30 this morning and it had 2 hills but flat most way and it was on gravel. it was VERY humid and windy. i felt good and had no pain in the hip or back of my knee. i t was hard to stay motivated to run at a faster pace because i had no one there to push me. it took me about 1 hour to run 8 miles and i plan to run 6-8 tonight to catch up on missing yesturday because i was comming home from salt lake.

PM: ran to Bens baseball game in town. was hot not as windy and bugs were bad. i did have pain in my hip tonight I stretched it out when i got to the game. ran 4.5 miles. glad i got it done makes me feel better about tomorrow only needing 10 miles insted of 15.

I ran to the complex was flat most way had one large hill I had to run up at the end of the run. then ran past my moms work which was down hill most way. on the way home I stopped at my grandma house and talked then ran home.

i went for a run after church. my family went to our grandma Loeckers house to have pancakes!!! i started my run from her house down a hill to get to the highway where i started for home. felt really good about the run until the 4th mile i got really tired and wanted to walk BUT i didnt. I kept going, then at the 5 mile i ran in mud becuase i had rain last night. it was very hard to keep a good pace because all the mud was on the bottom of my shoes. i finished at 7 miles to my house. it was a good run but i had a hard time keeping myself motived today. tonight i might go for a short run at the complex to put 9 miles in for the day. I miss the track at Utah so much better to run on than mine here oh well a track is a track!!

Today I waited for the rain to stop so i could run. i ran at 2pm it was very humid hard to breath in. ran around town to make miles.did 2 miles at the track, ran 2 miles to school then ran to the park and did 4 loops ( about 2miles) then ran back to the track and ran around till i got 8 even miles. nothing hurts today i feel good except breathing is hard because of all the humidity. glad to get done!! tomorrow not suposed to rain or be as humid :)

AM: ran to the track in town from my house then back home to make 9 miles. to the track had a up hill that lasted 1/2 mile then on the way home down hill strait for 3/4 the run. I feel really good but I am having a hard time trying to find diffrent corses that match the miles I want to do. maybe tonight i might run down and back to my neighbors that would be a mile round trip.

PM: ran at the track nice easy run. then went to the pool and cooled off for 15 mins. while I watched my brothers play. 2.5 miles i ran tonight

I ran 15 mins. for a warm up then did a farklet 1 min. easy 1 min. medium for 20 mins. for the cool down i ran for only 10 mins because it was VERY hot and humid. i was feeling very drained so i went and got a glass of water. tonight i did an easy run about 2 miles. ending my day with 7 miles. i wanted 8 but for 100 degree day plus high humidity i think i did ok. tomorrow i am going to the gym and running on a treadmill for part of my workout.

AM: i got in a run at 7:30am. between rain showers. not humid and was lots cooler than yesterday!!! i ran to town then to the complex. after i got to the complex i turned around and ran back home equaling 9 miles. I feel sore today and tired probably from yesterday. i think i should bring more than one water bottle on hot days.

AM: I woke up early today to run becuase it gets too hot out before 9 or 10 am. at 7am i ran around my 4mile section twice equaling to 8 miles. I dont like repeating running routs but there are lots of hills and it very challenging. i got a team practise every monday at 9 so we can be in some shape for the season!! most of them said they will come. i am treating my blisters they started hurting 2 days ago but i got New Skin witch Bill had Dakota use and it is helping alot.

i got up extra early around 6 am to run. i ran into town 3miles, then around my town 3.5 miles then back home 3miles. it was a nice easy run my legs are VERY tired it was hard to keep running. i'm glad i am done for the day its supposed to get up to 95 with humidity today!! I GOT MY 60 MILES!! im glad..

AM: ran home from church felt very good! getting ready for our BBQ with Cobler side since Bill and Marg. are here. Hope to run tonight to get 8 miles. we will see what happens
