IF high school cross-country

I ran the JV race at the Cardinal Classic.  I like the race but it is not very kind to me.  I got 20th place and medaled, but only 6th on our team.  We are strong but I nee to move up.  My calves were burning again and I just did not have a good race.

The team ran an easy run on the Tiger Grizz course, my legs felt really good today. I hope this is the sign that my issues are improving and I can have a good race on Friday.

5 miles including 2x1000m repeats.  I am trying to listen to my body and not overdue training and save my legs for racing (and have PT note to support this).  When I told the coach that I wanted to skip a repeat because my legs was hurting, he told me to "stretch it out" and suck it up and looked at me very mean.   I just want the coach to treat me (other runners who are not the "top" runners)  fairly and with respect.

5 miles easy then PT afterwards.

3 miles easy.  Tiger-Grizz home meet tomorrow.

One of my favorite race on our home course.  It was super hot today (~90).  I ran the JV race and was hoping that my legs would not hurt as bad.  I ran the first mile at 7:00 pace and was in about 15th place and third on the team.  I just kept pushing, my legs hurt and my mind was telling me to drop out but I battled in my head and said no.  Maren passed me at about 1.5 miles on the hills.  I passed Abby just past 2 miles then Daphne right after that.  I kept pushing hard and not letting my mind win and past Maren with 800m to go.  My mouth was super dry and legs hurt but I did not stop and ended up 1st on our team and 3rd overall for the race.  Our team won the JV race overall (we were 3,4,5,10,12)!   I ran a warmup and cool down and sat in the creek.  A great day and I got the fear from my Century race out of my head.  Earned a spot on varsity for next week's race!

A 4 mile team run and breakfast.  My legs do not hurt bad today.

4 miles at practice including about 15 minutes of tempo run, I cut the hard effort short to keep my legs fresh which Coach McMurtrey said was a good idea.

4 mile for a bread run before dinner. Race in Twin Falls at CSI tomorrow.

I ran a season PR of 22:57 which is great, but finish lower on the team than I wanted.  Good improvement, looking forward to Bob Firman next week.

6 miles easy at practice.

5 miles including 3.7 mike Fartlek  run. 

Legs are sore so I took a rest day.  Homecoming dance tonight!

6 miles including a tempo run.

5 miles at practice.

4 miles at practice.

3 mile bread run with team.  Bob Firman this weekend, so we travel to Boise tomorrow.

The team drove to Boise and we previewed the Bob Firman course.  

I ran in the JV race.  My legs were tight and dad massaged them out before the race.  I set a new personal course record and placed 20th to get a medal.  Could not quite hang on to my teammates, they all ran well.  Happy to have medaled (out of 235 runners) and continue to show improved times.

5 miles at practice including some intervals, but I cut them short.  I had PT this morning too.

5 miles easy.  Coach asked if I wanted to rest for the race this week, but I am going to run to keep on track for a letter and ensure I get to go to Lewiston next week.

Went to the sand dunes for xc practice

Went on an easy bread run for xc. It is the day before our race.

Went on a breakfast run today with my teammates
