Just 30 easy. I had drivers ed at 8 but really wanted to be out for the first day of practice so I ran before then went & did warm ups with the team. I started out around the neighborhoods but then decided to go out to the desert. Saw a sick sunrise & just thought in my brain about how crazy real God is. Finished up & realized I was supposed to be leaving for practice so I was late.. Oops. Then finished off the day at gross drivers ed. But hey I'm super pumped for this season and our team and I can't wait for the first run of the season I get to run with my teamsters 

Also, I have an annoying amount of water in my ear & may have damaged my hearing/given myself brain damage trying to get it out so if anyone has an suggestions they're very welcome

3 miles grass run w/ striders. Again I had drivers ed so bleh. But woke up at 5:45 this morning so I wasn't late to practice!! And I started out just ran to the park (2ish minutes?) then started my grass run and since green springs park is rather small & half of it was being sprinkled I had a little portion of the park I ran around for 15 minutes, then did my striders. All was very well & I started running again around the outside of the park and I GOT ATTACKED BY A BIRD it landed on my head and I've been terrified of them since I got tortured by one when I was 2 so that was the most frightening experience of my life I actually wanted to cry. Finished & went to practice and ran the warm up then left again hahah

UPDATE: the water is still in my ear and it sounds like a freakin ocean in there.

30 easy with striders. Did a loop out through my desert then stopped at the park for my striders. Went to practice & did the warm up then left againnnn. Three cheers for the fact that I take my final drivers ed test tomorrow. Then I'll be on the roads with all the cool people.

Didn't run my full run today. Woke up & was celebrating my last day of drivers ed so I was actually kind of excited for the run but when I got out there I had barely gone up the hill by my house on green springs dr. before my achillies just started killin me. I decided to cut through silver stone 2 & head back to my house. Ended at about 9 minutes & iced iced iced both my achillies'.

Holy smacks hardest run of my life. I haven't been able to sleep in past 6 this entire week so I decided I was just gonna run whenever I woke up because I'm a dingus. And then, when I woke up my parents were like lets go bowling! and I was like well frick. (I got a new pr of 115 though so that was cool). So I didn't end up running til 3. It was burning hot. I just ran down gs drive & did my fartleks on that. The run was 35 min with 3x3 min fartleks with 3 min recovery. The first one I pushed really hard and was like dead by the time I finished hah. I slowed it down a bit on the other 2. They were all really hard pushes though. I thought I was dying on the way back like my lungs did that weird thing where they don't expand when you breathe in so haha that was a problem. But I lived and returned to my home.

another update cause I know you guys love those: I've just gotten used to the fact that I can't hear out of my left ear but people keep talking right into it so I would prefer to not have water in it anymore. It's been 6 days!!!!

Today we had 45 minutes with 3 laps around the dirt mile at with faster pace each one. This was like the hardest run. The last half of the last lap I really wanted to quit but I'm glad at myself cause I stayed in there and pushed better than I usually do. I really want to work on my mentality this season especially this summer because I'm gonna need it if I want to still be varsity. What I've really been focusing on (I'm not sure if it's good or bad that I'm pushing myself for this) but I really want to be varsity for bob firman. If I get left out of that because I didn't work hard enough I will be pi*sed I just know it so every run so far when things get tough I've been trying to think about how sad I would be if I didn't get to go and that usually snaps me back into working hard. On the way back we found some cute disgusting little ponds & jacey fell in. Holt ran with us which was different but good. Although I couldn't hear him most the time cause he was always on my left side and I was too scared to tell him I really couldn't hear a word he was saying. Altogether is really was a super fun, good run.

also shoutout to presto cause it's his birthday!!

15 min barefoot, striders, 15 min barefoot. way good run I love running barefoot. Ran in the group but mainly was like talking to rylee. I love that girl. Kids club after, that was a blast. Roberts was too cool to show up to practice again. I have a dream that someday he'll come.

50 min up the parkway. Really solid run even though we only had like 4 people there haha. Me & caroline led the way up the first hill thing like before the freeway and we didn't realize we were actually going a real good pace except I don't know what it was exactly. Roberts is back yay!! And I seriously cannot wait for practice tomorrow I don't even know why.

Easy 30 with striders after. I've just been feeling so good this entire week! I actually kind of like being low in numbers because I've gotten to know people that I hardly ever talk to.

35 min with 3x3 minute fartleks w/ 3 minute recovery. Really solid run. I felt super good even though it was hard. We tried to get about mid 7's each fartlek cause coach said "NOT TOO HARD". Lots more girls there today even though we're still missing some. Now off to Top of Zion with the team. Yayayayay

TOP OF ZION HALF RELAY okay okay okay it was extremely fun. we had to wake up at 1 am to start our running so we had 3 hours of sleep hahaha. We ran in pairs cause we had 2 teams and running at night was actually the scariest thing I thought I was gonna get kidnapped the entire time. I ran with Josie and we were the 2nd leg. We had 6.5 miles straight uphill the entire time. It was so hard hahah. We ran at like 2 and finished at about 3ish and let me tell ya that was the scariest run. So then everyone else ran and then me and bos had to run again this time only 5 miles with a little uphill and some downhill. It wasn't bad. THEN everyone else ran then we ran again only we had to run 7.5 miles pretty much completely downhill which would have been the easiest run ever but we were so dang tired. Although we did run between a 6:50-7:10 pace the entire time so yay for us. We got 2nd overall and it was a lovely trip!

Dirt mile again today. Sure feel like we do that guy a lot. It wasn't bad though we had 4 laps at progressively faster pace. Our first mile was a 8ish minute I think. Then down to 7:50, 7:40, and like 6:55 or something... Roberts kept telling us to slow down hahaha it was hard work though. I was going to stop after the 3rd mile because my legs were still feeling very tired from top of Zion (or at least that's what my excuse was gonna be) then I just kept running which I'm glad I did because that was the hardest lap by far. The dirt mile has always been like a really hard mental battle for me maybe that's why I do not like it but I'm working on my positivity at that place.

Ps all PV kids plz appreciate you schedules and all the fri*kin papers in the envelope cause it takes years to put them in<3

no one was at practice today cause of trek hahah we ran up the desert place by where the dead turtle was. On the warm up my knee was bugging me but I thought it was just like beginning running pains cause it usually hurts a teeny bit at the beginning of runs but it was totally killing me during the run I turned around at 15 instead of 17 and ran 30. Rylee turned around with me which I was super grateful for so I didn't have to run on my own. I only did 4 striders also. I iced my knee afterwards and its weird cause all my life I've never had knee pain but it'll be better tomorrow for sure

We only had 5 girls there today so we all ran together!!!! It was a really good run and I had no knee pain! A tiny bit of achillies pain but I think that's just cause I haven't been doing what I should so I'll start icing again. Anyway 60 minutes mid-distance run we did the loop off hells hole not sure what it's called and it was fun running with different girls they really need to run with us more often!

Dirt mile progression run. Really wasn't in there mentally today. I only did 3 miles instead of 4 cause I just couldn't stick with the group. We did like 8 minute pace the first lap then 7:50 then 7:40. Finished up running back with rylee then striders. Personally I really like doing the striders on harder days, it makes the recovery days that much better. 

Good news is I'm going to the doctor on July 15 to figure out my ear dilemma and maybe I'll be able to hear again yay

Some of the team met over at my home to do our run today. It was 45 min w/ 4x3:00 fartleks. We ran out into mustang pass which is one of my favoritest runs (even though I spent a good 14 years of my life hating it) we started our first one at 15 minutes and when we finished everyone except me and jos turned around cause they only had 35 total. So me and josie just switched off leading them every other. They felt good, 3 minutes is a long time. On our way back we stopped at the park and ran through the splash pad which is the best decision I've made in my life because it was very hot! Actually it was only like 90 but it felt hot

70 easy with striders afterwards. I ended up only going 55 because my achillies just won't feel better. It's starting to move into my calf too. At least Rylee ran back with me making it more enjoyable.

Easy 30 on the grass. I was really tired this run and kept starting to fall back from the pack so at like 20 minutes I ran up and started helping lead. It helped quite a bit I still felt tired but I wasn't falling off. First afternoon run/party at coaches and I can't even go cause my doctors appointment got moved up to 3:15 today. Also we had kids club today and I almost won preston in a pullover in capture the flag
