Staci Hirschi

1/2 mile warm up then 3 mile run. Most of the run wasn't too bad but my head still hurt pretty bad on the up hill. I really want to keep up with the group on the trails though. I can on the roads, I've just got to not let my head get to me. 8x100 strides on the turf. I jogged the first 4 then did the last 4 like normal. 

1/2 mile warm up, then threw the shot and discus for an hour. We had to wait for Goulding to open the weight room so I joined in their circuit thing they were doing around the turf with push-ups, burpees, v-ups, and planks. 3 laps of that. After weights I ran 2 miles, I feel so drained. I'll have to run before practice, or find some other way to get all my miles in.

Read through some of Meghan's old posts from her senior year and made me really re-evaluate where my mindset is right now. I'm definitely going to need to change some things in order to reach my goals this year. Gotta quit making excuses and put in the work!!

Well I feel like a slacker today. 1/2 mile warm up then threw the shot again today until about 4:15. After I ran toward Little Valley and about .8 I ran into coach and the boys and he had me turn around. Held an 8:30 until then then a 7:55 with them. I feel like my mind set was a lot better today as more focused, and now I just need to keep it there with the trails too. Did 4x100 meter strides because I wasn't sure if coach said go do them or don't do them... I thought I would be drained again today but I felt a lot better and I think I can do a couple more miles when it's roads.

After the warm up I lifted weights with the throwers then ran 3 down Hidden Valley. Felt like a really good run today. My head never hurt so that's good. I had an 8:25 pace but I did stop for a minute when my shoulder was tight and hurting. I need to figure out how to fix that. My arms are dead now, can't wait for Tabatta tomorrow... Actually I know it's a good thing. Hopefully my arms won't be so numb at the end of my races when I should be strongest.

Forgot my shoes today and ran on the turf barefoot. My feet feel torn up now, and let's just say I'm not making that mistake again.
