Good old 4 miler to green springs. It felt like I went out pretty fast but slowed down on the way back. It was hot today and I'm not use to the heat after all the cold we have had.

6x800 400 cool down after each one. (.75) warm up goal time was 2:50 based on a 11:20 2 mile pace. 1-2:45 2-2:49 3-2:48 4-2:55 5-3:05 6-3:04 in the begining i felt pretty good and i got out and pushed hard and lead for a little. after the third one i was really tired and i said i didn't think i could do any more, but coach holt said he knew i could. after the fourth one i stopped and felt like collapsing. baker walked and then jogged with me for a lap. i felt very ashamed for stopping like that and not keeping up. i got a drink and jumped back in on what was supposed to be the last one but i had two more. i had a hard time keeping my form together and breathing on my last 2. decker ran with me on my last lap and pushed me to not let my time slip any more. the muhammad ali talk from jd helped me out and i finished without quitting and stopping. i'm so tired and my groin/hamstring hurts bad right now and i can hardly walk. i got to gut it up for the track meet tomorrow!

(1600) I don't know my time but I will get it. I was pretty slow today and my time will probably be around 5:30.

(3200) 12:39

I did terrible today, especially in the 2 mile. I felt bad not just physically but mentally. My groin/hamstring really hurt (I hope it's not my hip flexer like Ally had but, I'm starting to think it could be) and my legs were tired, excuses excuses. I was really upset after my race because I knew it was not a good run. But my friends were there talking to me and they helped me feel better. I am going to use this race as motivation because I know I can do better.

jersey off after race, people incharge got mad, put back on back wards on acident.funny

Today was supposed to be (Dog Pound 4) Anarobic Threshold but I couldn't do it. I don't know what is wrong with me latley but I have been feeling and doing awful. I couldn't push myself to go faster and I even walked in the middle of the run. I am so mad. I tried to run as hard as I could but I kept breaking down. I feel so out of it and my emotions are so screwed up. I came home and felt terrible, I don't know why I have been feeling so bad lately. Well the most important thing is that we are having a track dinner tomorrow and it's not cold anymore.

cried a lot at home

I am taking the weekend off and hopefully I can get feeling better. Coach Holt said this was a good thing to do. This has been a really hard week, I have been feeling bad not just physically but a lot mentally. Even though I have been feeling like this there has always been someone there for me like my parents, coach, or friends on the team. Hopefully this weekend I can rest and get my body feeling better and get control of myself.

Happy Easter

found out from physical therapist over the week end that I have hurt my hip flexer

Went to physical therapy today to get my hip flexer feeling better and I am going again tomorrow. Hopefully everything will be better in a day or two. I will miss the track meet tomorrow and I don't know about the one thursday. I know I need to get healthy but it is still hard to miss a race and I don't want coach C to be mad at me. I will do all I can to get healthy so I can get back to running my hardest.

Went to physical therapy again today, same as yesterday but today I also rode a stationary bike for 5 minutes, 1.5 miles. Tomorrow I am coming to practise and I am going to see how I feel. I am trying to listen to what Rhett (physical therapist) says but it feels kind of weird telling my coaches what I am doing, I am usto listening to what they tell me to do. I think they understand and working with Rhett will help me get healthy soon. I didn't run in the track meet today I was just there helping with stuff and being supportive. We will see how I feel tomorrow, if my hip hurts and stuff and see if I will be running in Hurricane thursday. Even if it dosn't hurt tomorrow I don't know about racing thursday, I will talk to my coaches and Rhett and get things figured out.

Ran a big grass loop to see how my hip felt, it still hurt. I wont be running at Hurricane but I will be there.  

Hurricane Track Meet. did nothing

I did a big grass loop and some streching then a lap with Decker. My hip flexer still hurt today and when I was on the track I tried to pick it up a little but it hurt so I stopped right away. I think it will just take time to get better.

I had a dream last night that I was running and I couldn't go faster. I tried and tried but I could not get going. Dreams like these are weird, they mess with your mind. What ever. Distance 4 life

I tried doing agilities today, took it easy with my hip flexor. I ran a grass loop then a lap on the track and streched. My hip is feeling better with time but I feel out of shape. Once I can start running hard again I am going to have to work to get back into good condition. I am going to miss the track meet Wednesday, and I am desciding if I should still go with the team to Moapa.

Boston Marathon today. It was cool to see Coach Holt do so good and see how Clyde and Coach worked together. Nice work, good example and inspiration.

Agilities, grass loop, lap on track, strech. Hip flexor is feeling a lot better. Still hurts a little, legs are a little sore and I can tell I am not in very good shape but I am getting better. I need to talk to my coaches and Rhett to see what the next step is.

Didn't run at all there was a track meet in Moapa. All I did today was cheer and get times for everyone. I felt like a manager carrying a clip board around. I am going to go to physical therapy again Thursday or Friday because my hip flexor still hurts. I am slowly getting better and soon (but not to soon because I don't want to over do it to early and get hurt, got to be smart) I can start running more.

Physical Therapy today. Massaging electric thing, stretching, and I rode a bike. I go in again tomorrow morning. I am feeling a lot better.

I got some more hardware for my mouth today. It will take some getting usto but right now I don't like these braces at all.  I also got some new shoes today, I can't wait to run in them!!!

I ran a little at the Summit, I didn't keep track though but 1/4 mile seems close. I went to physical therapy today and did the same stuff (massaging thing, stretching, bike) plus I ran a little on the small track (some sprinting, high knees, and stuff like that) and did one weigh lifting thing with my legs. I felt a lot better today and thought I was getting closer to being able to run.

Played some tag with some friends today. I was really slow and towards the end my hip flexor hurt.

This morning I went to Physical therapy and did the massaging thing, stretching, and jogged around. I felt a lot better and thought I was close to being better and running.

At practise I ran a grass loop, stretched, and ran walked a lap on the track. My hip flexor hurt still even though I have been feeling a lot better. It is hard being injured because you are just there and you can't do anything people are talking about like "steping up" "scoreing points" or anything like that.

Bad News: yesterday I was put on a 2 week break from running which basically ends my track season. My hip flexor still hurt yesterday so Rhett (physical therapist) said quit, no more running for two weeks. My hip just wasn't ever feeling better even after all the stuff I did so now I can't do anything that hurts at all. I feel really bad and it's hard to think about all of this. "Season Ending Injury" no fun. Coach Cappy still wants me to see a doctor but I think a doctor would just tell me stuff I already know. I trust Rhett, I don't know why he dosen't.

So today after talking with Coach Holt I descided to try and lift weights and ride the bike, to do anything that didn't hurt. All I did at first was look at that bike. I couldn't get myself to do it today, it just felt to hard. I did do a lot of lifting though with Sean, after he was done throwing. Well I'm done talking for now. The End for today.

6-12 grades washington Country Track meet. I helped out with the long jump, cleaning up and stuff.

I rode the bike today, it was probably around 7 miles. I will try different things with the bike to try and get what works best, today it felt like I didn't do a lot. I also lifted weights. I wish I would have done a weight training class when I was younger because I really don't know a lot about lifting weights.

Nothing today. I am missing the SUU track meet this weekend, Good luck everybody!

I did weights today and the elliptical. The elliptical was a really good work out. My hip flexer felt ok, a little sore so I need to be careful.
