My Miles

This hurt.  My legs were fine, but my breathing hurt.  My throat is still killing me.  I PR'd by 17 seconds since last season (I think).  The reason for my crappy breathing was probably that fact that I hadn't ran since Wednesday since Trilogy went down to NAU.

I ran with Susan today for the first time in months.  It was way unexpected, so as I went for a run at 10 am after eating breakfast, I almost died.  I  was really dizzy and nauseous.  I am  glad to get going again though.

I went again with Susan, this time at 7:45, which is about20 degrees cooler.  It felt so good to run and not die, because i was really discouraged from yesterday.  We ran from washington ele to the car dealership after firestation hill.  I was a tad nervous about the hill, but it went great and I am glad I did it.

I am kind of just winging it as far as where I am running, so the distance is a little iffy.  Anyway, I felt really good today.

I ran all over the place today, saw Mrs. Martineau, and had a nice run.  I had some serious hills that began to burn eventually, but that means that something good is happening.

well,  it seems like I take 5 steps forward one week and then 10 back when I go to girls camp the next week.  However,  this morning was really nice, and I feel like I was able to mentally get into the groove and push myself past the fact that I wasn't breathing that great.  Heres to breathing a little better tomorrow.

Well, this was the first time that I have taken first in anything concerning running. BUT my time was really crappy, six minutes worse than my PR.  I guess that goes to show what happens when you don't run for 5ish months.  So, when you want to feel better about yourself, go run a 5k in a really small town where half the population is under 12.

I ran with my uncle the whole way, which pushed me hard and kept me going at a steady pace.  

well, I got together with alyssa to go running today, and it was a struggle.  I was boating all day yesterday, and this morning I foudn out that skiing and running do not mix.  Anyway, we walked for about a quarter mile and quite enjoyed ourselves, just talking and catching up.  

so, I ran this 21 seconds faster than the one in Bunkerville, so hopefully there is some improvement there.  I felt awesome during this race, except for when I was coming down around the golf course next to the canyon road.  That was the point where I started to think what am I doing? Why on earth am I running...kill me now...that sort of thing.  But then my grandparents and aunt drove my and gave me moral support, so I was able to finish the last mile and a half going strong.  Josh did really well.  He took second overall, and I am so proud of him!

again, we were up at 3 in the morning so we could beat the sun on the way out.  It went a lot faster than when we were coming in, and it was much cooler. There weren't any drunk indians that came up to us like last time.  When we hit the bottom of the mile-long  switchbacks that would take us up to the parking lot, we ran into a scout troop that was just barely getting down to the bottom. The sun was only about 20 mins behind us, and we barely beat it up to the top.  Too bad they had to hike the remaining 10 miles in the hot arizona sun with their oversized backpacks.:)

So, me and my group got up at about 4 this morning and hiked 11 miles down into Havasupai.  It wasn't bad until we got to the sand on the way to the compground.  We then hiked all over kingdom come to get to the waterfalls.

Went to Little navajo falls and moony today.  I loved it, it was so fun...and jazz.

we got up in the wee hours of the morning (3 am) to beat the sun on the way out.  It went a lot faster than it did coming down, and was much cooler.  We made it to the bottom of the switchbacks with the sun about 10 minutes behind us, and then barely beat it to the top.  Happiness is hiking the whole way in the shade:)  

well...30 minutes of heck.

Walmart run! THen for another lap around campus.

ran down to los amigos then back for a lap around campus.

I walked everywhere and walmart.  I also played sand vball for a couple of hours.

ran down 200 n and over to west campus, then back for a loop around campus.

ran down 200 n. then onto main street and down to west campus and back.  Went swing dancing for 2 and a half hours.

It is such a downer when you get back from a horrible run and you only ran 1.5 miles.  yuck.

ran down 100 n. to the usu center/west campus and back up for a campus loop.

ran to walmart and back for a loop around campus, and loved every freezing second.

well, I am officially starting workouts again, and I am a little nervous.  I ran 2 miles this morning with a half set of striders.  The track here is AWFUL.  It is basically a road going around a football field.

I ran from my apartment to the track for my warmup, and then did 4 - 1 minute repeats, with 1 minute recovery, which ended up being a mile.  It was a beautiful morning, because it rained last night, and it isn't like St. George, where the next morning is humid and 100 degrees.  I felt really good, and I think that  I will stay on this mileage for a couple of weeks, then move up to 3 and so on, because I am so not in shape anymore.

Well, I did a 1/1 repeat workout for the entire 3 miles.  I was able to finish a lot faster, and I felt like this run was productive.

I can't quite go four yet, but my goal is to get to the mouth of Ephraim Canyon from the college and make it back without dying.

Run on the track.  It is so hard for me to keep going around in circles, but I am able to keep track of my mileage easier.

Today was just one of those days where I wanted to keel over and die. This run was cut short mostly because I was feeling like junk and I had a heavy duty day.  hopefully better luck tomorrow.

I put 4 miles for my distance because I went swing dancing tonight and I am pretty sure that is a workout.  My run was 2 miles with striders.  The striders felt really good!

I didn't go on a run this morning.  I was up so late from dancing last night that I didn't get up.  Oh well.  The two miles is for walking all over campus all day.

well, I actually went for a run, and it felt good to get all of the kinks out.  I went out towards the sports complex/baseball fields and then ended with a lap around campus.

felt really good today.   I am shooting for a 7:30 mile in fit for life (pathetic much?) but we will see.

Tried a new workout today.  I ran a total of 2 miles on the track, and then added a stadium on the fourth and eighth lap.  I actually really liked it, and I think I will do it again on wednesday, just cuz it went so well.

I felt awesome on this run after I finished.  I was really tired, and I was sore from the stadiums yesterday.  Ow.

I did the stadium workout again, and it was so much better.  My mental state of mind was a tad more stable and I remembered to breathe, and that yes, the pain is temporary.

I went really slow today, and was able to workout some of the kinks from yesterday.  

easy shmeezy...I enjoyed myself today, mostly because it was friday.  Not sore anymore! 

I ran down to west campus and then over to 400 north, and back over to my apartment.  Besides the nasty smell of turkeys and their wonderfulness, it was a good run.

I ran the bleacher workout again, and I actually did it right this time.  I think I am finally adjusting to the altitude, but the temperatures keep going down, and we are supposed to have snow in the next couple of weeks...so we will see how long running outside lasts.

I ran down 100 e. to 800 s., then back up 200 e. for a last lap around campus.

I ran stadiums today.  it was horrible: end of story.  swing dancing tonight for two and a half hours.

2 miles easy.  Ran out and around the new subdivision by the elementary and back.

5x1 minute repeats.  i really just wanted to see how many I could do.  it turned out okay.

i ran out to los amigos and back for a loop around campus.

2 miles, all on the track.  I actually felt really good.

this was my first four-miler in a while, and I felt okay,  I just went really slow...stopped and smelled the flowers...it was just that kind of run.

Even though I went really slow yesterday, I am a little sore from the distance.  Two miles around town with striders on the field.

I ran with Lindsay once around the campus block, with a track lap before and after.

Did 6x1 min sprint repeats with 30 seconds of recovery between each one.  It hurt really badly, mostly because it was so cold.

I didn't go very far today, mostly because I was so tired from western swing last night.

I ran to Walmart, and on the way back I turned into the cemetery and ran around on the roads in there.

7 miles on the bike in 30:00.

2.5 miles-twice around the campus block and a track lap before and after.

I feel like today was kind of productive.  I did three thousand repeats and almost died. I then ran around the campus block.

I was out camping and I hiked up a ridiculously large and high mountain.

1.5 miles around the campus block, and then two miles on the bike.

i did two miles on the bike and lifted weights.  I am so sore!

3 miles on the bike.

two 10:00 miles on the treadmill.

3 miles on bike, 1 9:30 mile on treadmill.

2 miles on bike, 1 10 min mile on treadmill.

3 miles on the bike, 1 10:00 mile on the treadmill...2 hours of swing dancing.

2 miles on the bike, and one ten minute mile on the treadmill.

3.5 miles on the treadmill because it is so FLIPPING COLD outside. I went 30 seconds faster per half mile.  I started out on 12:00 pace, then at .5 of a mile, I changed to 11:30, and so on.  The last mile i started at 10:00, and ended up at 9:01.

Ran a couple of miles this morning in PE, and then had Western Swing for 2 1/2 hours.

Biked 3 miles in PE.

Ran two miles before PE, then biked 2ish during class.

Ran two beforehand with Bobbie, and then biked three during class.

I ran two, biked four.

Ran three in the blue gym...36 laps later...never again.

ran with bobbie this morning in the blue gym. pretty chill.

I ran two miles before PE, and then biked three.

Ran a 5k this morning...it was really nice, especially considering that I didn't race it.  I stayed with my little cousin and helped her make it back alive.

Biked two miles, ran one with bobbie before PE.

I had to run the mile for PE this morning.  My goal was 7:30, and I got 7:25.  it was a good feeling, especially since we just had to run around a gym 24 times because it was so flipping cold outside.  I also went to western swing for two hours.
