Nicoles running blog

First time running in about 3 weeks!

Ran with Dad today && did exactly 9 mile pace. Going to shoot for 8 mile pace by next month.

Ran 3 miles to test out my foot and it didn't hurt too bad so I'm gonna run 5 miles w/hills tonight.

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

3 this afternoon.

I felt amazing today! I was able to stay with Coach Roberts and Aubrey and we had funn(:

I forgot to have iron so I had kinda a crappy run today...but I still finished it.

5 miles with two 30 second hills, and four 1 minute hills.

I actually ran 8 miles!! whoohoo!(: I felt amazing! I went kinda slow for 4 of 'em because I brought Josh, but I killed the other 4!

8 miles today with 2 miles of tempo and 2 hills/Mountains...

I felt amazing today! I lead the pack with the mountain climbing, and I kept up my pace for tempo.

3 miles in afternoon with weights! Felt way good!!

4 miles on the dirt loops. 1 mile of striders

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!

3 in the morning. Five 1000's in the afternoon. i love my sister... also running is great... also those 1000's were fun... my leg hurts and i"ll prolly amputate it , but first I must finish the season... in 3 months (: yay for pain! i want rain... i miss rain. you know I've always wante d to be kissed in the rain. that is all. goodbye.

Anyway 3 in the morning with five 1000's in the afternon. It hurt pretty bad but I finished all of them! I was pretty sure I wasn't going to finish the 5th one 'cause it kinda killed to walk, but I did it and I finished right behind Mia! Now I'm ready for an easy 3 tomorrow morning!(:

3 in the morning, 3 in the afternoon.

Tested out my hip this morning. Took a really easy 3 and it felt great!

3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon with all the weights I could do.

3 miles in the afternoon with four 200's. I would've ran this morning, but my parents think that I'm injured and wouldn't let me go. I feel great though! And I'm ready to get racing!

only went 3 this afternoon. A certain captain (red leader) wouldn't let me do the work out.(; But I ran with Sarah and we had fun!

I didn't run in the morning because I was getting my hip x-rayed, but I ran 3 in the afternoon with four hill sprint things, and four 100's.

Didn't run in the morning because my ride didn't wake up, but I ran 3 in the afternoon with striders. I did pretty bad with the sprints. I keep trying to push myself harder, but it feels like the few day break I had pulled me back from being able to sprint as good as i was able to.

This morning we did michigans. I did pretty good. I pushed myself as hard as I could, I even dry-heaved at the end(: The cool down hurt pretty bad, because of my hip. I guess after my workouts my hip likes to act up a lot.

This afternoon I couldn't make it out of our parking lot before having to stop because I hurt so bad. I could barely walk all day long, hopefully I'll be better by tomorrow.

3 miles in the morning, 3 miles in the afternoon

3 mile race, 3 mile warm up.

Fartlicks on the State course. 3 mile warm-up, 3 mile cool-down.

1 mile warm-up and cool down, four 30 seconds hard, three 800's, and two 1000's. I'm really stressing out about how I am doing right now. I really am trying to get back into things, and get up to my old pace. I don't know whats up, but I will try harder.

3 in the morning, 3 in the afternoon.

Michigans this morning...I think I did pretty good. I did better than last time, and I was only about 30 seconds off from A standard. Next time I will get it! We did them on the track (17 laps) because a power line was out on our loop so we couldn't go over there. But I really pushed myself, and feel like I did the best I could.

3 miles in the afternoon. It was tough because of the mornings workout, but I was able to stick with the front girls and have a fun run. Afterwards we did two 400's with a 400 in between as a cool down. So thats another mile. And we did weights...so it was a pretty hard day! and I think I have every rock on that track memorized.

3 easy afternoon run

I got around a 21:39 for my race. I (again) didn't do very good, but I did way better than last time. We did about a 2 mile warm up/cool down

I didn't have time to run with the team, so i went by myself up to the high school and did 1 mile warmup, 1 mile hard, four 200's, and then ran back home (2 miles) because I was hurting really bad. The person that had wrapped my leg did it wrong so it killed to run. So I just ran as much as I could stand.

Easy/Hard 3 this afternoon. We killed it. Liz was pushing the pace like a mutha sucka.

Ran 3 by myself because I had to leave early. I forgot how hard that was! My brain went crazy.

I didn't do good today at all! I was able to do the warm up, (thankfully), the first mile in a time of  6:34, and then the first lap of the 2nd mile but I was hurting so bad that I had to stop after that. My hip usually goes numb after about 200 meters, but it wouldn't stop hurting so I gave in and stopped. The exact same thing happened with the thousand. I finished the first lap but thats it. I completed the 400. Didn't do the best, but did complete it. And then I did all the 200's (4 of them). I didn't go very fast, but I went as fast as the pain would let me.

Easy 3 through Sanburgs. Lots of fun(: Region tomorrow!

Recovery from race yesterday. Easy 3.

Easy 3! Just trying to get through until my break. It's getting harder and harder to run.

Ran with the little kids (6th-8th graders) today! They're way fun(:

3 mile run the day before state. Last time I ran for a week and a half to recover from injurys.

This was my first work-out after my recovery break. I did pretty good. We did two 1200's, two 800's, and two 600's.

Ran 4 on my own because I was too tired from yesterday to run with the girls(:

Time trial today! I think I did pretty good with the time trial. I gave it everything the last little bit and kept pushing throughout the whole race, and then we had an easy 3 mile cool-down which wasn't so easy 'cause I ran with Roberts, Stoner, and JP...but we had fun(:
