We are leaving right after school for spring break so no run today (skipping practice).

3 miles at practice.  I am really sore from the hard workouts, hope I can run my best tomorrow.

I ran the 800m and 1600m today.  Cool and windy.  800m I started on the inside lane and was boxed in really bad and nearly tripped in teh first 200m.  I had a hard time getting open running space and finished in 3:15.  I talked to dad about how to deal with this for the next race.

in the 1600m I started near the middle.  I held back a little and got clear around the crowd on the back stretch and moved up fast to the lead pack and ran there for most of the race.  I ran steady pace and pushed hard in the last 100m.  The winner ran 6:38 and I ran 7:01, 8th place on only 1 second behind a teammate (3rd taylorview girl to finish).  I felt really good about this race and know I can keep improving.

In PE tomorrow we are supposed to run a time trial too the day before our meet.  Dad said run the PE trial easy.

4 miles at PE and track practice today.  Pretty tired.  We did a time trial in PE so I ran it easy beacuse I have a race tomorrow.

I ran the 800m and 1 mile at the Madison Tri.  Season PR in the 800m at 3:07.  My legs hurt pretty bad after this race, so the mile was not for sure. Dad helped me get ready for it.

I ran the mile in 7:00.  I really pushed my last mile and passed 2-4 girls.  One girl tried to trip me at the finish line.  I was nearly caught Lauren who ran strong today and Isabelle and Merritt ran well too!

I ran the warm up with the team early then spent the whole day hanging out waiting for the 3200m at the end of the event.  I was the only TV girl and one of only 5 girls to run it.  We ran the race with the boys (22 of them).

I ran the first mile in 7:06 then my calves started to really hurt.  I was in third place at the mile mark but slowed a little because of my legs.  I pushed hard for the last lap and especially the last 100m.  I beating several boys. 

I am the Taylorview 3200m girls record holder!

Today in track was a fairly hard day so we did a whole bunch of squats and burpies. 

 Every Tuesday the track distance team does a time trail and I got a 6:30 my best time yet. Then, we ran a mile cool down and did the same as what we did yesterday.

For track practice me and 4 other people went on a long run and it was fun.

Did some stretches for track and then ran a mile

I ran a PR in the 800m in 3:00 then ran a season PR in the mile in 6:47.  Feel stong and ready to go faster in the next two races.

No run but a weird unhelpful workout at track practice.  Not sure how this helps us run better.

3 miles at track practice. 1 mile timed mile in an easy 7:01.  Coaches do not want us to run hard at this week's meet to save it for conference (whatever that means) but want us to run hard at pratice. They also are telling us to run a different race than what we have trained for and been running this season.

For track we went on a long run. It was fun

Today I had a track meet and it was fun but kind of cold. I ran the 1600 and 800. My times were, 1600- 6:48 and 800- 3:04. The boys 4 by 4 team broke the record! they all ran really fast. I was kind of close to beating one of my teammates I'll just try harder to get her at the next track meet. All in all it was a fun day not to mention getting out of school at 1:10!

Final middle school race.  I ran the second heat of the 800m on a very windy and cold day.  Started near the back in the first lap then pushed hard and passed lots of girls in the second lap.  My teammate just outkicked me by 1 second.  I felt great afterwards and really liked this race...most of the time my legs are hurting after a race.  Fun way to end my middle school track time!

Today was a track meet and I did the 3200 and the 1600 meters (2 miles and 1 mile) The 3200 was the first event and I was the only girl in my division to run. My shins started to hurt at the 2nd mile but I didn't stop but I kept going. My time was 14:43 I was 3 seconds off of my PR. Then, I had a 1 hour break and I was waiting to do the 1600. I kept up with the top girls which was me and 2 other people. The timers were yelling out our splits and the 800 time was 3:40 and the was a really slow 800 so I decided to drop the other girls and started to push a little bit harder. so I was leading for the last 2 laps! I was really happy because I never really led a race with other people in my division which was really awesome but in teh final sprit we had head wind and the second pace girl passed me but she wasn't the far ahead and the i heard peoplp cheering for the girl who was right behind me so I pushed it as hard as i could and i stayed ahead of her. My time was 6:46 which was again 3 seconds slower than my PR and I was happy about that because none of the others girls did the 3200 so doing that well in the 1600 after running 2 miles I was proud of what i did.
