We are who we choose to be.

AM- .5 warm, 30 minutes easy Turtle Road. Great first day of practice, woke up a little late, but made it on time. Seem to have a bunch of cool new people out this year and it should be a lot of fun! I'm excited to see everyone improve this year and accomplish their goals by coming out and having fun and working hard every day. I felt a little out of shape after no running for 2 weeks, but I did fine. We ran by a goat which started to chase us, then Bentley Bushar grabbed it's... Leash? and took it back to the Elementary school hahaha! I don't know what they did with it then... Hopefully they returned it.

AM- 30 minutes easy w/striders. Great day today. Feeling so fresh. Legs don't even hurt (knock on wood) and I don't even feel too out of shape from the break like I usually do. Was hazed by my peers because I haven't kissed a girl... It happens... I will someday and they will all be shocked of how hot she is... Then I can haze them

Kewl Kid's Klub was today which was fun. Glad to see so many kids who want to be healthy (or their parent's want them to be healthy) and have fun! It's always a fun time.

AM- .5 warm, 5 miles easy Grapevine. Pretty hot morning. Felt nice though and it was doable. Still feel just a little out of shape, like I'm not ready for hardcore workouts or anything, but I'm easing in just nicely. Legs still feeling fresh, but I sweat a ton today. Gotta keep up the hydration.

AM- .5 warm, 30 minutes easy, 8xstriders. It was a good day today. Glad to see a bunch of the new guys having fun and starting to really enjoy coming out! I personally felt so drained today because I spent so much time outside yesterday! I went and searched for the freaking rock for 2 hours because I was positive I knew where it was... The I hiked Shinob Kibe with my parents... Not even with a girl... :/

AM- .5 warm, 50 minutes easy out in the fields. We met at Pine View park today which was fun. Felt as good as could be expected on the run. Nice to just run with the dudes. Glad to have coach cluff out helping us. He's dope.

AM- Easy 35 minutes w/ 3x3:00 fartleks. I went way of lower grapevine, which will soon be taken up by construction... It's a shame. I did a fartlek at minute 11, 17, and 23. 3 on and 3 off. They weren't too incredibly fast, just something to get the legs moving after coming off the 2 week break this week. I felt alright, but yesterday I felt just awful. Had terrible headaches and my stomach was going wild.

Nice day of rest. Love the sabbath. Forgot to mention that I won a year of Runnerspace +plus by guessing the winner/winning time of a race... So that was dope! Been watching a lot of races these past days haha

AM- .5 warm, 2nd warm to the dirt mile, 4.5 laps acceleration (4.5 miles 7:00-6:10), then cool back to the school. Today I didn't feel so hot, as I've had some trouble sleeping the past few nights. I stayed up fine for 4 laps and then just died idk. 

AM- 93 minutes w/8xstriders. This was my longest run ever (timewise ) and it was kind of tough. Ran out into the fields past staheli farms and looped around there past Pine View Park. Did our hard finish up the hill by Sullivan Park so it wasn't much faster pacewise, but effort was increased. I did fine! Felt nice energy flowing through my veins 

AM- 4 miles easy. Nice barefoot run on the grass. Been off the blog for a while and I'm gonna try to get back into it! I have been running, just not blogging for a few weeks. 

PM- 3 miles easy. SOOOO HOT! 108F. Luckily it was just a nice short run. Swam in coach's pool after.
