Was nice to catch up with my dad since he was gone in NY most of the week. I FELT SUPER SLOW!!!! it was so sad :( i've got a lot of training ahead of me before this summer sadly. Track i believe starts tomorrow so that will be good.

 | strength 4:35 [1] | |

| ok so my plan kinda worked today YAY!!!!!
i got up at 7:20, put on one of Snow Patrols CDs and did 2 sets of 50 situps (with a 30sec break) to the first song. I was at about 42 on the second set when the song ended so goal is to get it that i finish in one song. It was harder this time than last, but i think i was doing them faster. |

and then dressed during the 3rd. doing stuff and timing them with songs is helping!!! a fun challenge. |

| OK so i got some training from Alexie the other day and had time (and motivation) today to go out for a run so i could do one part of it. This part was an exercise where you take a course and you have to find out where or not #1 is higher or lower than the start, #2 higher or lower than #1 and so forth. Well i have done this before but it was a relay and when we were actually looking at the map we weren't running. This time Alexie wanted me to do this while running. let me tell you MUCH HARDER!!!! i ended up running pretty slowly while trying to figure it out and do math in my head. was quite thankful i had also brought along a sharpie to write my answers on the map bag so i remembered them in order to e-mail him the answers. I got some weird looks from other people on the path as well lol. but good exercise! thank god for the fat contours!!! (can't remember their proper name right now.) |
 | running 36:06 [3] 3.5 mi (10:19 / mi) | |

| decided to not stick to my original plan of running out for half of the controls and back for the second half. Decided it was such a nice day out (warmish, sunny, a little windy though and i had time) that i was going to go for a nice long easy run. Ended up picking the Kelly statue at the end of the grand stands to run to. It was extremely quite out! there weren't many cars, no body out on the water. It was nice, let me get out some energy and just let my mind go and destress a little bit. felt really slow though!!! and the wind was blowing in my face on the way back which was a bit annoying. over all however a very enjoyable run and i'm glad my two teachers when i said i was thinking of going for a run kept saying "Do it!!! Do it!!! Go!!! such a nice day!!!" so thank you chase and kay i needed the kick in the butt! |

| legs started cramping up by the end of my run so decided to slow down and then walk from the train tracks back to the house. Right cave really started cramming. From not stretching enough? no water during the day? no lunch? (as it was a half day so went for a run around 1:30ish after i got out) |
 | stretching warm up/down 15:00 [1] | |
| |
| nice stretch once i got home to help with the cramping. after iced for about 10mins.
oh and got yelled at by my mom about not telling her i had gone for a run even though; i told her this morning that i was thinking of going for a run after school and she said fine just do it right after so we could go to the chiropractor @4, which is what i did, and i left a note on the counter saying that i had gone for a run and that my cell had died so it was charging upstairs (so she knew i didn't have it on me) once she saw that i did actually leave a note she stopped though and sad sorry. She had even called school and asked if i was there. Oh and i had e-mailed dad saying i need a map printed and that i was going for a run. so yeah that was interesting. |

| So the whole morning workout has worked so far, but we will see i'm feeling like it might tomorrow. However got some time when i needed a break from hw.
Haven't really stretched in a while so was quite tight, so felt good. I'm hopping to get to stretch more often as i think it would just help me over all. |
 | strength 5:00 [1] | |
| |
| 4 sets of 25 situps. They didn't really feel all that hard. Maybe that was becuase i took a longer break in between? or that i need to do a harder situp? right now i do it arms out in front of me which i have been told is the easiest way to do it maybe i need to move to hands behind my head... |

| So i'm going to try and start stretching every morning and hopfully maybe some strength stuff.
My plan is my cell phone alarm is set for 6:30 so i'm going to try and start getting myself to wake up on my own a little earlier than i have been and maybe eventually wake up and out of bed around 7 each day (i like the snooze button :) right now i get out of bed at like 7:30) and that way i have 30mins before i really have to start getting ready for school. So now i just have to do this and figure out what the most effective things would be to do in that time. |
