Running Blog

Blehh. We ran Mall run today, then wave hills at the middle school. My legs were NOT in it. They're just soo achy. We did have some interesting conversation though.. Roberts gave us advice on guys.. but I think we all agree they're stupid. (: Anyway.. definitely not my favorite run.. I'm trying to be positive though so.. I guess it wasn't exactly terrible. After the hills, I felt much better. Just before and during was lame. Then Kaylee and I discovered that the vending machine hates me.. so, all in all, not a fabulous day.

Michigans. Basically.. I'm super frustrated with myself right now. I don't know what's going on. When I was only running half of the time, and doing soccer the other half, I was fine, and now that I'm actually working hard to get better and stay up with Stoner and Kaylee.. I'm doing terribly. I was worried about my arch today because it was really hurting during the warm up. But once we started the Michigan, it was fine. I was up there and I was fine and Frida was even sticking with us. I was even doing fine mentally. Then we hit the second 800 on the track and all of a sudden it felt like they took off and I tried to stick with them.. I really did. But it felt like I couldn't go. And that's when I started to be negative mentally. On the last grass 800 I really tried to catch up. It took everything I had to kick on the 400. And of course, the second I stopped running, my arch exploded in pain again. I really wanna try and stay positive.. but every time we do a workout or race anymore.. I end up just feeling frustrated and mad at myself.

Went 5 out in the fields with Mia, Stoner, Frida, and Isabel.. yeah. I think today was Isabel's first and last time running with us.. She and Frida were dragging each other all over the place. And when we passed people, she'd start chasing them. When we finally started our tempo, she just sat down in the road. Stoner, Mia and I were very entertained though. (:

Another 5 in the fields. We kinda changed directions a little.. it was a good run. My ankle was kinda hurting but not too bad.. Liz Lunt and Casey were both out running as well.. we creeped. (: On Liz anyway. I don't know if she saw us..
