THE LOVE IS BACK!! But who would have thought it would come back on a trail called he!! hole. The first couple miles felt like nothing it felt like running on clouds, however I started feeling a tight pain in my right lower hip but it slowly faded away till after the run. To add to this amazing run I got athlete of the week for these killer blogs ;) and hard work! I am so ready to finaly make a huge impact on this team and take it to the next level!

Postive:

• Going back up he!! hole really worked on my arms and they carried me up!

• Saw how much the guys care for each other by when we went back and help a couple runners up He!! Hole!

• Love this team

Before the start of my run my right calf was way tight but I strectched it out really good before the run! After a good 20 min run on the road we moved to the grass and this time my feat didn't freeze but it was crazy hot instead.. Coach was right when he said that we would miss the sprinklers next week. I guess he is always right haha! 

Positive:

• Ran level 3 minutes because I felt way good

• Lovin Runnin

Its time for new shoes, my feet are starting to blister good. The run was good but really stressing lately. Working after running is really taking a toll on my body. I feel like Im not recovering enough going into my next run the next day. Also have really been worrying about this leadership camp that im going to on friday for 9 days and how I will get those runs in because it is tight schedule starting at 6am most mornings. I have a couple more camps I will also be attending and im really worried that I will loose my progression on being top on the team. I really have been working my butt off this summer because I want to make a diffrence.

Positive:

• Learning to love the pain

• Ladybug came out of my sock when I came home to take a shower, Good memorys haha

Who doesn't love a good set of hill repeats! This has to be one of the best work outs of the summer! As we came to the last rep of our 5x1min and 85 sec hill set I just smiled and asked for pain! I legit said in my head "pain, hit me already im ready for you" then it hit me!! I pushed through it like I have never done before and ended up in front of the main pack of guys and it felt amazing! I have a new mindset and am ready for the pain that awaits me!

Postive:

• Showed pain whats up and concured

• Saw Mitch Price for the last time and without XC i would have never been such a great friend with this amazing man. Running blesses lives!

Had to get as much as a run as I could get before I leave for Cedar. Got as many hills as I could find on my run! It was way weird tho not having anyone to run with so for the first half of  my run my form was so bad. Really missing the team and hoping i'll survive this camp.

Postive: 

• Got a run and smiled to everyone I passed

• Really pushing myself when I hit a hill and using arms probably way to much haha 

first run at camp and it was pretty cool for the first 10 min but running around the track gets boring after 6 miles.. but I'm for sure gonna get as much running as I can because they only let me at nights with kelton one of the councilors! He's ran for pine view his freshman and sophomore but said he really didn't put much hard work in so he quit after that. But now he is a way cool guy! This Camp is so amazing and I have loved every minuet of it!!! I have learned so much and made so many friendships!!
