Great day for a workout
The workout today was easier than it sounded. We had to run five 1000m with a three minute recovery in between. When our coach first told us, we all thought it would be terrible. It turned out to be a workout that I wouldn’t mind doing again. We had to run it at interval pace. Best of all we hit all of our times! I love hitting the right times. If I don’t it just throws me off for the...

no workout??
My coach decided to split us up in groups today. He said, “If you consider yourself to be an 800m runner stand over here and if you consider yourself a 1600m-3200m runner to go to the opposite side. Since I’m more of a miler I went to the left. It turned out the people who thought of themselves as 800m runners had to do a workout. The 1600-3200m runners got to go on a distance run. My...

rain rain go away
It rained soooo much today. We weren’t able to run outside for practice because of the weather. A little rain never hurts but it was thundering and lightning :( We were stuck inside running in the school. I hate running inside. There is nothing to do and the floors kill your shins and legs. Luckily we only had to run for 30 minutes because our coach was concerned about our shins because of...

Groute
We ran a light run today. Only had to run 6 miles since we had a meet yesterday. The guys got yelled at for the first half of practice so all us girls decided to go without them. The run we did is called Groute. Some of the guys had found it last year and now everyone runs it. It was a little hot out today but not too overwhelming. In the beginning of practice it drizzled for a little. It was THE...

Days like today make me wonder why I am a runner.

terrible meet today
We had a dual meet today and I ran terribly. My coach had told me and this other girl that we had to go 1,2 in the 1600m. Turned out that we went 2,3 instead. The girl that beat us wasn’t even that fast. In fact she ran a time that was slower than what both my friend and I normally run. Ugh :/

First day back
Spring break is over :( Today was my first day back at school. It was an “A” day so I was not looking forward to it at all. It turned out to be a pretty decent day. English went by quickly and then my French teacher was not there. Chem was boring as usual but then in History we talked about spring break and other stuff for like half of the class. Not too bad of a day if you ask me.

nice easy day
Practice this morning was a nice, light distance run. We have a meet tomorrow so we went on a 6 mile distance run. A couple of my friends and I decided to cut back to the school through the woods. Hahaha not the best idea. It was muddy and slippery and took us way longer than we were supposed to run for. But it was fun because we got to go on an adventure. After our run we had to do 8 striders. I...

silly sprinters
The sprinters on my track team annoy me sooooo much. Everyday at practice they complain about running and their workouts and how they have workouts pretty much everyday. The thing is: their workouts are like the distance runners’ typical practices. They complain about having to do repeat 100s and yet us distance runners do 100m striders at the end of almost every practice. The sprinters are...

early practice tomorrow
Early morning track practice tomorrow even though I don’t even have school. Oh how I love track. I already have a yummy breakfast in mind for before practice: steel cut oatmeal and strawberries. Mmmmmm :) Nothing to do after practice. Gym maybe? Then working tomorrow night yay!

track workout
The other day I had a workout for track. Of course it turned out to be a speed workout. You’d think my coach was trying to get back at us for a sidewalk incident that happened because of the distance team. It turned out the workout sounded a lot worse than it actually was. We had to do two 200s at tempo pace with a 200m recovery and then a 800m at mile pace with a 2 min. recovery. After the...
