walking 40:00 [1] 1.5 mi (26:40 / mi)
slept:10.0 weight:118lbs

Went Sledding with my neighbor today at Lemon Hill. It was a great day for sledding! But still really annoyed they took away our AMAZING sledding hill. So this was the first time i've gone at Lemon Hill. It was quite fun! And now i'll have a fun memory of that hill, other than the horrible hill repeats we have to run there for XC in the hot summer.
This is going to count as training since we walked there and back and carried sleds. Plus walking up and down the hill. The snow is still pretty deep in places!

Dad and I decided to brave the snow and go for a run. It was hard going! Back/inner of legs still hurt but I think it was good that I got out. It was snowing hard and we already had a foot+ of snow on the ground. We ran up to the parkway and along, Ran the steps of the art museum like Rocky, around the back and down to Lloyd hall, Then ended up running along the road of Kelly Drive to where we are pretty sure the 1 mile marker is, and then back. Only had to stop for one plow to!

I had the perfect amount of clothing on as well. Bottoms = Spandex shorts, Long pants, Trimtex warm ups, Running socks, Trimtex socks. Tops= sleveless tight fit, Nike long sleve top, Philly marathon top, vest, and Gortex light weight raincoat (which has been used more for snow than rain so far haha), gloves, hat.

stretching warm up/down 10:30 [1]

Nice long stretch after run. Legs are really tight!!!!

Circuit (AC training) 34:51 [3]
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9

Second day at AC. Many of the same warm up drills so that was good since i knew most of them. Legs still hurt from Tuesday though!

I was also tested so had to do a 10m and 40m sprint timed, a short suicide, standing jump, sitting reach, as many pushups as i could in 30secs (23), as many situps as i could in 30secs (6 real ones that counted, ops!), and a 300m shuttle run (i did it in 70secs).

Then after that I joined the class again. We did 3 more 300m shuttle runs, with 2 plate push in between (pushing a 35lb plate up and back 60m total). I rocked the first set. Then the last two runs and plate push was hard! legs really starting to hurt and knees felt tight like they wanted to lock straight a few times :/

strength (core) 10:00 [3]

Ended up doing some core back home since we have done pretty much all leg work at AC. So did the normal but without planks, arms were tired.

stretching warm up/down 11:00 [1]
slept:8.0 weight:118lbs

inner legs really tight!

Note

After stretching used the stick to roll out my legs a bit. Ended up using it for almost 14mins and my legs still felt tight. Plan is to get up in the morning and do another stretching and roll out right away.

I have also drank over 2 nalgenes today which is good! I need to start drinking a ton of water again, the past few weeks i'd be lucky if i finished one :/
looking forward to this snow!

Core stuff while listening to Born To Run on itunes.
Had to take sister to Ortho so didn't go to Track practice. Probably not a bad thing though since my body still is hurting from tuesday!!

Rest day and boy do my legs hurt!!!!

Circuit (AC drills) 46:40 [3]

First day of training at Aspiring Champions and let me tell you i think i'll be hurting tomorrow! Great class!!! I was the "rockie" so they didn't expect me to get everything right the first time which was nice i'm not sure i would have lasted the full thing had i not gotten a little bit of a break. So we did a warm-up with running drills and such. Then more running drills. We did a bunch of sprinting/suicides!
The other students are pretty cool and so is the coach although hard! I think this class was probably the same hardness level as working with Liz, but with the added layer of competition and always being timed. So i think this will be good for me!

strength (AC training) 10:00 [3]
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9

After the cardio we headed into the weight room. We did the beginning of what they call the 1000 something or another (forget the name other than the 1000 part). He showed us what to do and we rotated through the first 3 things in the workout. We had to jump on this forceflex device that added resistance, calf rises with weight, and step ups with 8lb weights in hand. We had to do 25 of each and i did it 3 times.

stretching warm up/down 5:00 [0]

Coach stretched me out and then i used The Stick on my legs before heading home.

running (Track conditioning ) 26:32 [2] 3.2 mi (8:17 / mi)
slept:8.0 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9

So let the training begin!

first day of track conditioning. It was just will, sam, and I today though :/ We braved the cold and ran. We were almost at Lloyd hall when i hear my name shouted out. It was Miguel from Masterman. Had a quick chat with him and during that lost track of where the guys went. Looking in Lloyd hall and didn't see them so thought they went on. So I ended up running to the 1/2 mile marker to find out that they hadn't. I got back to Lloyd hall and there were the boys shivering waiting for me. Ops!!! Sorry guys!!!! But it was good for me to get the extra mile in so its alright.
