| orienteering 1:34:00 [3] 5.7 km (16:29 / km) | |
| shoes: New o-ing shoes | ||
| I don't even want to talk about this course i did so bad! i attacked half the controls like 3 times before actually finding it, driffting, thinking i was one place and was actually another. just a crappy run. and to top it off i have the two biggest blisters on my heels and i smashed my good knee into a rock. So yeah drew i'm definetally part of suckville now!
i think i'm going to take tomorrow off from track which means i probably won't be able to race on wednesday, i'm kinda ok with that though. would rather sit out this race than be hurt for the summer and sweden. also i think i'm getting a cold so the rest would be good. | ||

Wednesday Mar 26 | ||
| Note | |
| Ok i just found out that i have to run the 3200, 1600 AND the 800!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
and everyone keeps telling me it is all mental right now, that it is just me freaking myself out and that i can do it it is just me being able to tell myself i can that i'm missing. Well i'm not so sure i know i can run that far, but not that far at the race pace everyone else is going to be running it at. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH | ||
| C • Why all 3? 4 | ||
| running warm up/down 5:00 [2] 0.5 mi (10:00 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| two warm up laps around the track. | ||
| stretching warm up/down 20:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| stretching as a team and then on my own while waiting for the mile | ||
| running warm up/down 10:00 [1] 0.5 mi (19:58 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| slow jog warm up before the mile. The sad thing was we were jogging like along side the track at one point. (like outside the fence) and we were almost jogging the same speed the girls were running the 4x800. | ||
| Track race 6:52 [4] 1.0 mi (6:51 / mi) vdot: 41.6 | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| First high school track race! haven't run in a track meet since 8th grade so 2years (10th grade now)
So i thought this was going to feel a lot harder than it did. they ran the boys and girls together as there were only 3 girls and not a ton of guys. And i managed to keep up with some of the guys and lap both of the other girls. So that felt good. I think i would have been able to run it faster if i had some people around me. I only had my team mate Sam behind me and he wasn't really pushing me, i think i was pushing him lol. But yeah it didn't feel as hard as i remember it but i remember a 6:41 race so this was a bit slower. I really want to get like a 6:20-6:30 by the end of the season. that is my goal for myself. Slow but oh well. oh yeah so splits (so not 100% accurate as my coach wasn't standing at the finish he was just finishing up helping with the high jump): 1:30, 2:47, 4:29, 6:52 | ||
| stretching warm up/down 20:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| stretching and jogging to keep warm and lose between races. | ||
| Track race 3:10 [5] 0.5 mi (6:19 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| Again ran the boys and girls together as there were so few of us. This was the one race i was scared about as i wasn't so good at it in middle school, i didn't think i had enough speed to do well. felt fine though! had an ok time i think about 8 seconds faster than my 8th grade time so that was cool. and i won outta the girls, they all started too fast. Oh and a guy almost tripped over me at the beginning of the race as he tried like cutting in right on me, like we bumped feet, and actually when i went to put on my sweats my shoe actually had a hole in it from his cleat. it was weird.
again weird splits from my coach as he was standing in a weird spot: 1:28, 3:10 | ||
| stretching warm up/down 5:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| coach helped me stretch my legs out as my hip and caves were hurting. | ||
| Track race 15:29 [5] 2.0 mi (7:45 / mi) vdot: 38.9 | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| Last race for me of the day. Only girl in the race so again had to run with the guys. Me and my two guy distance team mates stayed together for most of the race. So Mike we drafted off first (it was quite windy out) for 2 laps. Then we switched and the guys drafted off me as all i had to do was finish they had to do well so we tried to make it easier on them. So they probably drafted me for about 4 or 5 laps. Then the last two we kinda started to separate. Mike pulled ahead but i just couldn't keep up. my coach kept telling me to catch him and this other guy and i got closer to them but could pass or catch them. and then Sam came in behind me. So over all a great race but i do wish i had run it faster, but this is a good base line.
splits (right ones this time, i think): 1:49, 3:32, 5:34, 7:36, 9:40, 11:41, 13:35, 15:29 oh yeah and sandy I thought about your comment on the last two laps, and thought about all you guys and so tried hard to just pick it up and get a good time to report back to you all. i think i left basically everything that i had today on the track. | ||
| C • Congrats on a successful fi... 7 | ||

Tuesday Mar 25 | ||

| running warm up/down 3:00 [1] 0.2 mi (14:59 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| ran to the path as a warm up. | ||
| stretching warm up/down 27:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| Long stretch today as we have a track meet tomorrow WHICH I'M SUPER SCARED ABOUT!!!!! | ||
| running 50:00 [2] 3.6 mi (13:53 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| ok so neither coach could come so we were told by one of them to just do a long stretch and then to Gerard Bridge and back easy. there were four of us. three of us can run the fourth girl Amy has just joined the team so this was a hard work out for her. So we had to run as a group so we decided we were going to get Amy to finish this run which is why it is so slow. I ended up holding her hand and like pulling her along for most of it. She kept saying i can't, i can't. So i'm hopping that now that she knows she can run this far she won't say i can't so much and have more confidence. Pulling her along was a workout as well even though we were going slow which is why i logged this as a 2 and not a 1. But we did it! she finished all 3.6 miles!!
7:40- first mile with mike at a decent pace 3:00- wait for sam and amy 17:00- 1.5 miles with amy 6:00- break for bathroom and water and for amy 11:00- last mile back to the train track crossing 5:40- walk back up to the school. so not a super hard workout but something. | ||

| shoes: Saucony | ||
| another stretch back at school. Caves REALLY hurt actually. especially my right one where i got the really bad cramp yesterday. | ||
| strength 2:00 [1] | |
| 50 crunches
OK so i'm SUPER scared about my track meet tomorrow. I think i'm running the 3200m AND the 1600m. And my coaches are telling me all these fast times like 12mins for the 3200m and like under 5mins for the 1600m, and i really just don't think i can do that! So i guess we will see how it goes. and wow i feel like i'm logging every little thing i do, hmmm maybe i shouldn't. idk it is good motivation for me though so idk. | ||
| C • under 5 minutes for a mile ... 5 | ||
Monday Mar 24 | ||
| running warm up/down 14:00 [2] 1.25 mi (11:11 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| warm up jog to Lemon hill to run hills. | ||
| stretching warm up/down 15:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| Normal stretches at lemon hill but it took like the middle distance runners 5mins to catch up with the distance runners and about 8 for the sprinters to come. | ||
| Track 11:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| track drills up and down the hill. | ||
| running hills 45:00 [4] | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| 15 times up and down Lemon Hill. That doesn't sound so bad as we did about 30 or 40 during cross country. But boy was i wrong! well first off my sprinting coach wanted to time all of them so we had to wait for everyone to jog back down the hill and line up again. That hurt so badly!!! my legs and butt just cramped up while waiting so badly!! Thank goodness my long distance coach talked my sprinting coach into letting us just run them after 5 of them. so the last 10 we just ran.
first 5 though were: 33 35 36 40 43 then i don't even want to think what the last 10 were probably really slow!!!! | ||
| running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 1.25 mi (15:59 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| the jog back to school from Lemon Hill. I got a huge cramp in my right cave just under half way back. Big enough i had to stop, stretch it, walk for a bit and then continue running. Then i kept getting short little cramps in both my calves the rest of the way back. I walked the last few blocks back and i just felt like i needed to throw up the whole time. I got back to school went up to the office put the ice pack on my knee and almost feel asleep on the couch in my principals office.
I felt really tired and sick when i got done with this and i shouldn't feel like this. I think i need more water and healthy foods. | ||
