ran in the afternoon before the service this evening

i couldnt get a run in because i was at the funeral all day and in the evening i was with Brian because he is home

AM: i ran around the section with a 8.50 pace i know its slower than most of my runs but it felt good today. i am going to run that again tonight! to get 8 for today. i didnt make me miles this week i am discuraged but i just need to keep running so get faster for season. but next week i plan to run 50 miles

ran just a little bit to keep miles up.  goal for this week is to run twice aday because XC practises are only 7 days away.

ran 3 miles out and hit some hills that are by my house then ran 3 back and hit the hills again. it felt good running there but when i turned around to go back i got really tired and my pace slowed down a lot.

AM: i had to drive into town becasue the road was VERY muddy. so i ran about 6 miles in town and at the complex. i even hit some small hills. morning run felt great hope to run tonight.

PM: I GOT TO RUN TONIGHT!! first time in 2 weeks i miss night runs its so nice out and the sunsets are preaty. i decided to go to the track again and to my suprise my football team was conditioning. so i was going to leave but then the coach told me to stay and i could take turns on the track. it was awsome. i felt so fast because i wanted to show off a little to boys and the boys were shoeing off to me it was good for both of us. i needed to run stairs so they let me in when they were doing them. only in Neb. can you let a girl practise with the football team haha. it was great. i think i got about 4 miles in i didnt have a watch tonight so i don't know how much really. but ill go with 4. tyo get an even ten.

WOW! its has been a while since i have been on here. but i am glad to update things. today i had my first day of XC practise it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. we did over distance which for them is 1 mile over oh well at least i am doing more than 2 miles. i felt really good and didnt stop at all on the run. i got permision to run with the boys this year YEAH!! so i stayed up with 2 of them for about 2 miles then i fell off of them. i ran by myself for the rest of the run but i kept pushing so none of the other 8 boys would pass me. i came in 3rd. i would love to stay up with the 2 so that is my goal now.

OK today we only did 2 miles!! that is like a warm up for me. so i am thinking if that happens again  i might run extra to have a good practise. well today we did a mile warm up. then did 10 pergrestions from telephone pole to pole. it was a great workout then did core for 15mins. i can feel it a lot. for a cool down we ran to the campus witch is about .3 miles then i iced.
