STS

dangit! shin splints wayy bad didn't even realize it. I wore these shoes too long! I got new ones though! :)

So I hurt my legs a little more than I realized with those old shoes so we were heading out to hills and I was in so much pain Rachel thought I was crying! So we ran to the running center. He said I was CRAZY tight. So he gave me some things to get rid of them.

wow.... ha thats all I have to say about the miles today!

AM: three miler... Legs still pretty tight from yesterday but worked them out a bit..

PM: I wasn't even planning on doing the workout cause I was suppose to stay away from speed for a couple days cause of my shins. But coach told us the workout and I headed out with Rachel and Trevor's watch(I love running with a watch!!) but it just felt way good.. ok maybe not way good but it felt loads better from this morning and yesterday so I just went with it and did 6.75 miles with 30 min tempo. The tempo pace wierdly wasn't that hard but I picked it up a little bit faster than what I was designed to go. Coach said that would be ok. When we got back we did 2x200m repeats. Then went into the gym and lifted and then did 5xbare foot striders.. It was so nice to be done!!

Me and Rachel were heading out for our easy 4 miler a little bit behind the rest the team because I stopped to talk to Rachel Pulsipher who was at the school.  So right when we got onto the busy street and were catching up to the team one of the girls stopped running and was limping way bad so me and Rach stopped to see if she would be ok but she couldn't stand but she couldn't sit either because it hurt so bad.. So I told Rachel to stay there with her and I ran back to my car and brought it over and drove her back to the school and then we carried her into Mark. It was scary cause just hitting the bumps in the road hurt her.

So AFTER all that me and Rachel started our run.. Like a half hour after everyone else... It felt good! Whats funny is when we started heading out the first time I felt like crap but after we helped her to the school the second time we left felt so much better. We did striders after and it flew by.. It was a great run today.. Nice and easy! :)

AM: 3. At the beginning I thought I was not going to be able to stay with them at all. But five minutes into it things calmed down and I stuck just fine..

PM: funniest six miler ever! Me and Sierra both wanted to just do something fun, enjoy running and just getting out there again.. so After we got to the park in Green Springs and were heading back we tried to think of games to play.. We were doing crazy stuff like running in the turning lane for like 2 miles and all this crazy stuff... we finally made up this fun game where you have to list and remember all the random objects you see on the side of the road whille your running and you have to keep adding to the list but remembering everything... it was way fun! Ha

almost exactly like last weekends eight!! slow but got it done.. thats all that matters
