Some more running in the snow! Such a blast! The hills were hard for me, but Doty was strong. At least we didn't slip on ice until we were around the corner from the cabin! 😂

2 mile warm up, 1 1000, 4:06, and 1 200, 46. 1 mile cool down. I don't know what's wrong but I will hit my times this week. Frustrated with both throwing and running today.

Today was probably the greatest run I have had in quite a while. It was so nice to run with people and the weather was perfect. 2 mile warm up with Courtney. It was fast but I was able to talk and I am trying to work on going a faster pace to control my breathing better. Had a Fartlek workout and I think that went well. The second 2 minute was hard, so I need to work on stamina too. Jogged back to the start then did a mile cool down with Laynee. It was nice to not feel so exhausted after practice today too.

Fast on the 200's by a couple seconds both times then missed my 800 by 10 seconds. I'm trying to get better at it, but I really need to work on keeping a pace and my form. I didn't realize how a such a small thing could really impact how you do until this year. I'm going to focus even more on standing up straighter when I run.

Kosmin test today, made it about 80 meters farther than before! It was a really good day, a mental boost for sure.

Good day of throwing and running today. Hit 6:43 for my mile, only 3 seconds off from my time today. Glad to finally beat that 7:05, especially when I was already sore today. I didn't have enough time to get the second mile in, I had to get home to babysit.

Workout was a mile tempo run. I was doing pretty good until about .75 into it then I fell back from the group. 7:08, supposed to hit 6:45. New shoes too, they feel good.

5 miles easy with Chloé out on the trails behind Dixie rock. Fun time climbing the rocks around there for a couple hours too!

The workout was pretty good today. Ran up river road for 2 miles then had 1 mile at 6:40, I hit 6:38 though so that was good. I started to fall back again around .7 but I had to really try to focus on Chloe and keeping up with her. I think it helped to take the warm up slower too. I noticed during cross that taking a slower warm up really helped me in workouts and races. I did 4x200 at the end when I got back to the school. 41, 41, 44, and 40. I had to leave though, my head was really hurting with the little sleep I got.

3 easy in the morning and afternoon and warm up. I'll have to get the workout in tomorrow, I didn't get home until late from throwing today.

Race: Dogtown Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 02:00:06

So the first 6 miles were pretty good. I ran with Chloe and Bri and we talked the whole time at about an 8 or 8:30 pace. Then I kinda fell back from them and ran the second half on my own. I don't think it was too bad for just running it and not trying to get a certain time. It was definitely a confidence booster knowing I can run at a faster pace for that long (the first half anyway). 

 

My my goal for next week is to run the full mileage. It's all in my head!

Not a good day, sick again and half way through my head and stomach really hurt so I walked/jogged the rest.

Really frustrated today. My head killed during the workout and my mindset wasn't right.

No running again today, my leg hurt a little worse. Tried to do throwing too, but apparently that makes shin splints worse, as coach Stuart told me. Biked 3 miles when I got home and iced.
