Nicoles running blog

4.75 in Morning with some hills. Three 1 minute hills, five 30 second hills. Went down to Hells hole and tore it up.

Went a little more than 1.5 to get warmed up so I could stretch real good. I've been super tight lately.

Only 3 miles!! Went up to a dirt road and ran about a mile on that. Felt way good to have an easy run. After that we came back and did striders.

3 Miles in the afternoon with weights.

I missed out on xc this morning because my ride slept in, but I still did my workout. I ran 3 miles on the grass at the 2450 East park, and then went over to Foremaster and ran four 1 minute hills, and five 30 second hills. I felt way good! I went a pretty sweet pace, and killed the last one for both of 'em.

8 mile run with 2.5 miles tempo. I didn't run a very good tempo, but I went as fast as I could at the time. Liz and I ran together, and we started closing the gap between Taylor, Coach and us, but we finished before we could catch up completely. But it was a pretty good run!

3 in afternoon with weights

2 miles on the road, 2 miles on grass, and 1 mile of striders.

Race later today so we took it a little easy, but still worked hard.

2 Mile warmup and 3 mile race! Didn't do very good at all..I got like a 22:30 or something. But I will make it up next race and kick butt!

We wern't positive what our milage was supposed to add up to, but we guessed around 5. We went down to Hells hole and ran four 1 minute miles, and six 30 second miles. Kaelie and I led the pack of girls, and we made it to where we usually do so we kept a pretty good pace. We pushed pretty hard on the way back, but did have to stop for a little bit. Afterwards some of us girls cramed into Megans car and rode over to the Rec Center to get water and stretch. We did synchronized stretching while watching synchronized swimming for the olympics(: All in all it was a pretty good day!

3 miles this morning. Felt super great!

Megan, Alyssa, Liz, and I went on our 5 mile run with half up-hill. We ran up 2450 E. Road and down by arctic circle and made a loop around. And we found 50 bucks in an envelope!(: So were gonna go party later today...(;

3 in the afternoon. I went kinda slow the ending part of it 'cause my stomach was killing me, but i finished the run! So I'm all good!!

4 at night time. I didn't do the whole 7 because my stomach was still killing me...and I wasn't at practice this morning because I was out boating. But I did a pretty good pace.

I have no idea what we did...but I did work out!(:

3 miles in the morning with Kaelie. And then in the afternoon Kaelie and I ran together again, and we ran two 800's doing three 2 min. tempo, and four 400's at tempo. It hurt my hip everytime I started the tempo, or if I stopped and then started again, but other than that I felt great. I just couldn't walk the rest of the day.

3 miles in afternoon, with 1 mile of striders.

3 in the morning, with four 200's, and then 3 in the afternoon.

Did pretty good on my race, still about 2 minutes too slow. about a 1 mile warmup and cool down.

We did a hard workout this morning. About half a mile warm up, with five 3 minute tempo and 3 minutes in-between of an easy jog/rest. and then 1 mile cool down.

In the afternoon we went 3 with weights and plios. Did the white girl run and got some sick tan lines(:

Went 3 miles this morning, 4.5 this afternoon, then a 2 mile race with 1.5 mile cool down. I did pretty good with the race. I got in the general area I wanted, with an o.k. time.

Today felt SO amazing!! Megan, Stoner and I ran down to Target and did half a mile tempo 4 times. With a pretty good jog inbetween. I stuck with Stoner the whole time! She was probably just going a little slow for me, but I still stuck with her! haha(:

3 in the morning, 3 in the afternoon with plios.

3 in the morning with four 200's.

Ran a 2 mile warmup and then raced. I didn't do good today, but I tried the best I could at the time. I'm not starting out fast enough which puts me running with the wrong group of girls during the race. But I picked it up and started passing them all by the 2nd lap. The last lap I had a good sprint that put me right behind Aubrey, but it wasn't good enough to make up for the bad running all the way through it. I think one of my problems is not getting enough sleep. I came home and slept for 6 hours 'cause I was so tired. So I need to get to bed earlier!

I really have no idea how far we ended up going today, but it was around 8.5! We did five 1000s. I did pretty good with them! I was able to push myself to the dry heaving point by the 2nd one. It kinda kills to walk/run right now. My hip is acting up again..but it was a pretty great day! In the afternoon we only went 3 and it felt great!(: ...oh...also weights and plios.

I couldn't walk this morning so I didn't go to morning practice, but I went 5 in the afternoon. Mark wouldn't let me do striders though. But 5 miles was plenty! It was so bloody hot!!

I didn't do an afternoon run, but this morning we did a 1 mile warm up and cool down, with three 2 minute hard, and four 400's. We did a pretty good pack for the 2 minute hard! I was able to stick with the top 3 girls. and then for the 400's we went a harder pace and seperated out more, but I was still able to close the gap between the top girls and us. I was right behind Mia, Stoner, and JP for all of the workout!(:

3 miles in the morning with striders. Then 3 in the afternoon with weights and plios.

3 in the morning with four 200's. I did way good with the 200's!  Mia, Jp, and Stoner wern't there so I lead the pack. I ran all of them as hard as I could. I treated each of them as if it was the last one I was doing.

7 in the evening with 30 minutes of tempo. I went with Aubrey and Kaelie. We did great! Kept to the tune of "here comes Santa Clause" and we had tons of fun(: It felt way nice.

Randomly in the night I ran a few miles because of our runathon! It was tons of fun! I ended up only doing 5 miles, but with everything else I did it totalled up to a little more than 16 miles!
