Friday Mar 7 |
 | road run 53:07 [2] 6.0 mi (8:51 / mi) | |
| (sick) shoes: Asics 1130 |
| A run in the morning by myself. I took a sick day from work today, as I've been sick all week and talking and yelling all day in school just makes it worse. I went on an easy run to wake myself up, although had to cut it short because I really had to use the bathroom. This route was all along busy roads and through residential areas, so there was no place for an emergency pitstop! |

| road run 50:00 [1] | |

| The usual Thursday workout! Hill came along to join Dad and I today. We ran over to Westfield Street, which takes about 10 minutes, and then ran down the hill 3 times, which also takes about 10 minutes. |
| road run 22:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics 1130 |
| Three times up Westfield Street at threshold pace. 7:01, 7:11, 7:12. My HR monitor really wasn't working on the first one and we ran a bit too fast. |

Tuesday Mar 4 |
| trail run 1:20:00 [3] | |
| (sick) |
| Ran on the trail with dad. I felt completely wiped, but I didn't bring my HR monitor, so I'm not sure of my heartrate. Dad and I worked on running up hills, and it was my job to keep up with dad the whole way. It was good training :) Monday morning I woke up unexpectedly with a sore throat, which is really no fun. I seem to get this throat disease at least once a year. I had it last in Australia. So before running today I used dad's prescription numbing stuff that you gargle, numbing throat lozenges, and took ibuprofen. So the throat was ok while running :) |

| I was looking through my schedule for the rest of the spring. I have one sick day and one personal day. I thought I had to use one for team trials, but since it's within driving distance and it's a long weekend, I may not have to. So now if I can find some airline to fly me somewhere for free, I'm all set! |
Sunday Mar 2 |
| Note | |
| |
| I just couldn't do it today. The family went skiing all day, but I couldn't join them because of school work. Ross was going running with another guy from work at a pace too quick for me to keep up. From the moment I woke up I just did not want to go running. It was a beautiful day, but I just couldn't do it. I spent a large portion of the day agonizing over it, but I never did make it out the door. I tried to convince Ross to come and do another run with me, but he was not up to it. So I sat around all day in my PJs, did homework, played video games and ate. I know that I should have gone running, but I just couldn't motivate and so moped around the house instead. And I didn't run yesterday, and I can't tomorrow because I have class and then I am meeting friends for dinner right after.... sigh. I'm hopeless. Plus, I'm stressed out about applying to jobs for next year, and so all I want to do is crawl into bed (my strategy for when life is overwhelming). |

| On a different note, this morning I had an exciting moment. I pulled a quarter inch thorn out of my leg from last Friday in Tucson. It was really cool, and I put the thorn on my bedside table to save, but Ross said he was going to throw it away. I'm glad it's out though, but it was painful every time I had to sit cross legged, which is a lot when you work in an elementary school. |
