It's only repeat thousands!!! ; p
It's only thousands! 5 Repeat Thousands!
Remember that? I do. It's totally what I told myself during senior year before races in order to run better because I always ran awesome repeat thousands, but struggled during races. I was in the front of group 4, but ran my repeat thousands with the back end of group 2. : ) So, I told myself this before races and it helped with the races though! What sparked this memory? Well, it was running with D.C. and Joanna today out at Cass Benton on the course and the college course. I had a lot of fun running with them, catching up, and reminiscing. One memory that came back strong was senior year at South Lyon when I ran a 6:50 first mile, hit the wall and ran a 13 minute two mile time and almost passed out/puked with extreme cramps. That was a really bad mile and I didn't talk to anyone after that race. I do remember Homie and the varsity girls running out the two mile loop and making sure that I was ok after I didn't show up at the two mile mark when I should have. I think that was the only race that Homie ever wanted to pull me out off. I did finish the race because I wasn't going to quit. I will tell you that hitting the wall is the worst feeling you will ever experience. Ok, well running today with D.C. and Joanna was great. D.C. and I ran up Pine Cone Ally and I was so proud of myself because not only did I keep up with D.C. going up the hill, but I also pushed the pace. : ) The run was great today, hard, but it felt really, really good. : )
5 more days!
5 more days!
I backed Jean's car out of the driveway and parked it in the street without stalling it once! Yea!!! I'm improving! I can do it without stalling it! Yea! Now, I just have to get used to going forward and I'm good to go!
I get to run through hell! YEA!! Katy B asked me to do it the other day and her, Steff, and I are going to do it on the 14th! I'm so excited! It's an 8k, so about 5 miles! It will be a challange because I've only done road runs in practice that long and have never raced that long, but at least I get to have someone there to push me! I can't wait to run with Katy B and Steff. : )
I get to have lunch with my girl Sara G.! Yea! I talked to her last night and we set up a day to go to lunch before we both move in and I can't wait. I so miss her. She's like a little sister to me. I'm going to miss her so much next year! ~tear~
I still have to get ahold of Heather, Kulczycki, Jessica, Lynn and Joanna to set up a time when all of us can get together before Kulczycki and I head off to GVSU. I'll miss all of them. Ok, let's just put it this way: I'm going to miss all my cross girls so much next year because they've helped me through so much this summer and been there for me through everything. I love you girls!
Ok, well, now it's late and I'm sad cause I miss all my girls, but I have to go to church and work tomorrow and Scott will be back. Lindsay, any suggestions on what I should do this week? ; P Ok, heading to bed now. Love you all and miss you tons!
