I felt great for the first mile and a half, but after the turn around, I could tell I got a little out of shape over the break.  Thanks to "Red Leader" for helping me push through that discomfort.

I felt great today.  Kept up with coach and the fast group without any problems.  I always like to go speed up as I reach the end, and that's what I did since I was feeling so good.  I got new shoes and I ran in them for the first time today.  Legs felt great and they gave me no problems.

Another great run for me.  I slowed down a little on the turn around, but I kept pushing myself and stayed with the group.  Afterwards I did all my stretches and everything, but my calves feel tight.  

We ran a grass run today.  We haven't run grass runs since last summer, and I was glad I was able to stay up with the group for all the laps we ran around that field.

We had youth conference this weekend and so Cam and I went and ran on our own.  We ran from our house almost to Starbucks, which Cam's watch calculated was 3 miles.  My running keeps getting easier.

Ran on my own today.  I ran a pretty steady 7:30 to 8 minute pace along my same route as yesterday.  No major problems.  I've been making sure to stretch good after runs and whenever my muscles feel tight.

My core was hurting this whole run, but I kept up with the team until I stopped to tie my shoe at the 3 mile mark.  I'm sure I'll be better tomorrow.  Just had an off day.

I didn't have any problems today.  Kept up with the guys, and even sped up at the end like I always like to do.

We ran to Sandberg's pond, and I had a good run, kept up with the group and ran strong.

We ran the vVO2 Max test today.  We had a normal warm up and then a 2 mile run before we began.  I ran 1471 meters in the 6 minute run.  then we had a 1 mile cool down.

We ran the Dirt Mile.  I was feeling a little out of it, so I fell behind, but kept a good pace and tried to catch back up.

Grass run today.  I was hauling on this run.  My pace was way faster than the group I usually try to keep up with.

I ran the 2 parkway loops pretty well.  I was behind the group a ways because I've had a sore on my left heel that's been bothering me.  I kept going and stayed at a pretty good pace.

On this run, I ran good, but I couldn't keep up very well with the group.  The hills in Coral Canyon were a killer workout on my calves and core.  Near the end, Red Leader pushed me up to the front of that group and I led them for a while.  I pushed myself up the hills more on the way back and almost caught back up with them at the end.

Cam, Nate Jones, and I ran 3 miles in Washington Fields.  It was a great run, and I found out it's really cool (temperature-wise) running by those farms.  I felt great, nothing majorly hurting.

This was a good workout.  I went a little too fast on almost all of the 1000s, but I think it was good that I got pretty close to my correct pace.

This was pretty hard, and I only managed 17 repeats or whatever you call them.  I stayed pretty steady throughout though, and only stopped when I didn't hit my pace.
