Well I didn't actually run 10 1/2 today but I ran five and a half on Monday and five on Tuesday! So I just decided to put it on todays :) Well basketball is over!!!! Finally :) I had so much fun, but it was so long! I'm not doing track this year, I decided to take a sort of break? If that makes sense. I might help with track though, Coach Fielding is hooking me up. I am going to keep running on my own though! And get ready for this summer!! I'm so excited for the Wasatch Back!

Well today after school I decided to run 3 miles. It started out really nice! I love when the clouds are out. Well I raced this girl, haha and I won! It was pretty fun, but then I ran into a huge black dog. It started running toward me so I jumped on the brick wall that was by me! I got a couple of scrapes! Haha but after five minutes or so the owner called for the dog, and so it left! Ha exciting run :)

I ran 3 today as well. It felt really good outside but was a little windy.

I ran 3 today, I need to start getting up in the long runs. Those are my favorite. Well I had a great run today! I decided to do race pace! I don't know my time but, I felt like I was going fast. :)

I decided to go a different route today and went 6.5 miles. It felt great outside and I felt great! My legs were just moving along and it just felt awesome! Runs like that make me want to just run and run and run! :)

I ran 3 today after my long vacation at Disney Land! I ran with a friend, we talked most the time until the last mile. The weather was perfect.

I started out going to my school to go talk to my coach. I saw the track team on the way and decided to run with them! It was pretty fun. Then I ran to the school, then back home, taking a different route. All in all turned out to be 9.5 miles! I had a great run today! It felt great outside and my legs felt awesome! Although I was pretty tired when I finally got home! So I might do the marathon, Coach Fielding hasn't decided if I can yet, but my parents are excited if he does let me! That's a long race. :)

It was kind of hot today. Felt like XC training. I felt a little tired today, but my legs felt great! Oh my toe is much better now! :)

I went on a five mile loop today. It felt great.

I ran 4 today. I haven't been blogging all my runs, I have been pretty busy, but I hope to be better over the summer! :)

I ran 3 this morning, I'm going to start doing two a days to get ready for the Wasatch Back.

I ran about 4 miles on the snow canyon bike trail. The weather was pretty nice, but it sure drained me.

I ran 4 miles around my neighborhood, it felt very nice.

I couldn't run today :( I have been sick since yesterday. These summer allergies are killing me. Hopefully I can get up tomorrow and go running with my parents. 

I ran 5 with my parents this morning.. way early! But I felt way fast and booked the hill that was in the middle of the third mile. Legs felt great, my breathing wasn't so great, so I need to work on that. But great run.

I woke up late this morning and had piano lessons so all I could get in was a 3 miler.

I woke up and ran with my parents this morning, I'll be doing that all summer. I love running with them! Today we went for an 8 miler. My legs felt so good the first four miles. We ran through Africa!!! Good times :) We then ran up foremaster hill. I kept telling myself I was going to destroy that hill, well my parents and I all started to split up on the hill. I haven't ran that hill in a long time! It was so hard! But I made it all the way to the top and down ( which felt great ). I started working on my breathing, and it seems to be doing much better! All in all great run :)

My dad had to work way early this morning so he went on a run by himself. My mom on the other hand, went to the gym, went to a class, and then came home to get me to go on a run. We went 3 and boy she was so fast! It was hot outside but it was a good run.

I just ran 4.2 today. It felt nice outside and my legs were just going with the flow.

I actually have no idea how much I ran today, I just went out and ran, then came home. So yeah that's about it.

I went with my dad way way way way early this morning, and we only had time for three once again.

Again went 3 early early with my dad.

I was at a camp on Friday and Saturday so later when I got home, I went on a 4, I felt pretty tired, but legs felt good.

I went 9 this morning with my parents. It started out pretty good, until about mile 6, I was getting pretty tired. My mom waited for me though... :) When we hit our last mile, I saw Coach Holt!!! It was just like good old times! I really do miss PV XC. And about the whole thing about me switching back over, ha it's just a rumor, and I have no idea who started it. I wish I was moving back over but I'm not. So that's about it! :)

Me and my dad went to the gym to work out. We ran two miles, then he lifted. While he was lifting I ran another mile on the track, and then another mile on the treadmill.

Me and my dad ran 6 800's this morning. I was a little nervous because I haven't ran a speed workout for a long time. But it felt awesome. I had a great workout. I can't remember the times though, I will have to get them from my dad.

Well I got back from the Wasatch Back late on Saturday night. I had a blast! But I didn't realize how exhausting it would be! We had some bad weather up there but all in all I had fun! I think I will do it again next year. I went for a little run with my mom this morning because I was so sick of running. While we were running Ruth came up behind me!! It was just like good old times! We ran for a bit together and talked! It was a lot of fun to run with her again! Thanks Ruth! 

Ew.....I ran 11 with my mom and dad this morning. It was not as good as the last 11 I ran with them. I got way sick after, and have been sick all day.

I ran down to the gym with my mom so we could work out, and then ran back home.

Me and my dad did a five mile loop this morning, but we did speed training, so we ran 5 1ks. I have no idea how much that is, but it was a good speed workout!

This morning I went out with my XC team! I was so exhausted today and am so so so sore! I have gone boating twice in a row! (not a good idea) Haha. But it was fun, anyways! Today was a little slow, and going so slow made my legs stiff. I should of gone my normal pace. But I was glad to get out there. Our team looks like it's going to be big this year! There were some people out there that I have never seen in my life! But the more, the better! :)

Wow...Wow...Wow!!! One of the best runs of my life! Me and my mom started off together until about mile six, I decided to move my legs a little faster and then before I knew it I took off. We stopped at a gas station at mile 8.5 and I tried gu for the first time! Hmmm..... yeah that stuff is not so good, but it gave me the energy to finish. When we got to the main road and it was all down hill, I just let myself go! It felt GREAT! My breathing was the best it's been in a long time, and I felt good :) Just one of those runs where you could just keep going! Loved this run! But I'm kind of exhausted now and I have nice, huge blisters on the tops of my toes. But that's ok, cause I had a great run! :)

I went on a 4 in the middle of the day because I couldn't get myself out of bed this morning. It was hot...hot...hot.

I guess there's always a time for runners to trip and fall, all the way down. Well I have tripped many times running, but this morning I actually fell down and into the road. It kind of shocked me, and didn't feel so good. I got some pretty good cuts and bruises on both my knees. I was able to finish my run which is good :) This run was not my favorite because all the trips that went on... Blah....

We ran 14 today, hmmm... I was so tired and exhausted! This was a very weird run. I ran a mile more then I was supposed to, and it was just weird!

So... I just got back from a way long vacation! And I only ran 4 miles, yuck yuck! I don't like taking vacations from running :(

We did speed workouts this morning. All race pace, 1 mile, 2 mile, and 2 800's? It was the weirdest workout ever!

I woke up late this morning and had to run errands so I only had time for 5.

Cross Country Practice!!! I haven't been to practice in forever! It was good to get back out there with the team! And boy, was it hot!! We ran down to the course that we will be running on on Saturday, and then ran back to the school. I stayed back with all the guys and coach and saw the course, while everyone ran back. Well XC season has finally started again! I'm ready to do my best and run hard! :)

Today was our 1st XC race! It was a pretty hard course, mostly grass and some dirt. I felt pretty good and I just kept going try to pass girls on the down hill. It was good to see all the XC teams there and I'm excited for the rest of the season! :)

This race is my favorite race! I loved it! And I felt strong and my mind thinking was wonderful! So it was a pretty good race, except at the end, it wasn't so good. But good race over all!

We ran around the hill, and some days are good, some days are bad, and today was bad.

Today's race was good! I felt good and strong in it, except that I got a way bad bloody nose RIGHT before we started, and it was the weirdest thing ever! It just kept coming, and it gave me a bad headache. But other then that it was a good race :)

We did speed workouts today, and it was AWESOME!! I felt so strong and my legs and breathing was so good! Coach ran with us girls today, and I love it when he runs with us it keeps all us girls pushing ourselves. So it was really good :)

It was 50 minutes easy today, and another GREAT run today! Angela and I ran together the whole way and I felt strong again. I love running with someone else, it makes it so much easier and much more fun.

We ran about 6 today? But we ran out in the desert then did the Hidden Valley Park hill, 6 times. It was a great work out! I loved it and pushed it up hill every time. 

Today was a weird, weird race. I didn't enjoy this one and got sick so not so good. And my legs felt very stiff... but my picture was in the paper! Cool!

We ran 30 minutes out then did 3 800's! I was really nervous about this workout, but it actually went a lot better then I thought! I pushed myself with Angela and Laura and it went good!

WOW! I had an awesome race today! It felt amazing!! My legs were loosened up and the weather was perfect! I was going to push myself today to make it a good race, because last year was not a good experience up there but this time was different! I was trying hard to keep my breathing normal and at a steady pace. And I pushed myself up the little hills and took the down hills as serious buisness. Wow and I was happy with the end result! :) This race just makes me want to race over and over again!

We ran 30 minutes easy then came back and ran 6 800's. I had an awesome workout today. I pushed it and was glad that my coaches ran with me.

We ran 50 minutes out today. I ran with Coach the whole time, it was supposed to be a "recovery day" but I decided that when I get a chance to run with Coach I am going to push myself. So another great workout today :)
