60

Today's run was lovely! It was quite nice out and I felt like I was a comfortable temperature - minus the wind, which made my hands quite chilly! But overall, it was not too bad! I felt really good today! My mom took me to get new shoes yesterday (because the foot doctor guy last week said that my shoes were way too big and the wrong type for my foot) and Marathon Sports got a little miffed that this doctor was saying these things, and he was quite arrogant, but then they looked at my form and how I ran, etc, and said that it looked like I was over pronating, but I was actually under pronating? Not sure how that works. But they said my aasics were too much support, so they fitted me for some brooks, which are acutally quite nice, and a lot lighter! I could definitely notice the weight difference when I was running today! Also - they said I have been tying my laces too tight, so I'm supposed to not do that too!

So the run was with Nina and Rachel, and it all felt really good! They ran for 45 minutes, and then I finished up the last 60 on my own. After I dropped them off, my calves started feeling kinda sore, which was odd, but they weren't too bad. Also, I don't really know what to make my "B." So far, I think I'm gonna go with 60 minutes - I was "pleasantly tired" after today's run, so I guess thats accurate!

After the run, I did an ab workout in the fitness center with Nina and Rachel. I surpassed all my previous records! I held a plank for 3:30!!!!!! That got me very excited! The others were longer too! I think my abs are definitely getting a lot stronger!!!!

Morning heart rate was 13 today and yesterday.

55 again

about 6ish miles again to get to 39 for the week. I felt really tired again today - maybe from school? plus running for a week and a half straight? idk, but i fell asleep again for an hour - feeling better now!

Also - I did the leg stuff, my legs were kinda tired from the run, so it didn't feel too pleasant! I also felt very weak after the leg stuff, and couldn't do my abs. I'll try to do that soon :) (as in, before bed!)

and morning heart rate was 14, I don't know why it jumped, so hopefully nothings wrong!

55

Today was probs about 6 miles. I ran 30ish minutes with Nina and Rachel, then they returned to school and I finished out 20 more to get to 55. I felt pretty good - but tired. I also did the arm strength workout - I decided not to do legs today because I just did them on Weds and want another day of "rest" from that workout. The arms were very tiring as well, but I do feel stronger than when I started out! Plus, Mr. Johnson complimented me on my form! Of course, it being 4:15 on a Friday, the Fitness Center got very awkward very fast to the point where it was me and a sophomore and that was it...so I finished up and left. Lucky for me, my mother couldn't pick me up, so I had to walk all the way home. I was exhausted, and literally almost fell asleep while walking. I did take a nap when I got home though!

I probably need 6ish miles to get to 39 for the week tomorrow.

Morning heart rate - 12

About 6.5 miles. Fun run with Eva and Eve. Also with Bo Julie and Allie, but they had to leave early because Bo Julie's ankle was bothering her :( It all felt good, although my butt is a bit sore - I think from yesterday! But that is mostly in sitting, not running!

57

Today I ran after I got home from school. I did that winding river road/ natick loop that we sometimes use for long runs, except since my house is closer, it was shorter. My quads were bothering me a bit, kinda sore, but I think that's cuz I didn't stretch enough yesterday. Also - I seem to have been running quite fast when I run on my own, and tiring myself out. Today was 6.6 miles, and done in 57 minutes, which was an 8.6 minute mile, and made me very tired. I think running with other people is better for me!

Then I did the leg strength stuff - not too too bad - I still feel a bit shaky on some of them, but I do think I'm getting stronger.

I also did ab strength, I got a bit stronger at that, though not too much, and ab exercies really bore me, and they hurt, so I feel like I should probably push myself a little more on that.

And morning heart rate was 14 (?)

60

total of 60 minutes today with Brennan, Bo Julie and Allie! It was really fun running with Bo Julie and Allie again! I miss running with them! (I love running with Brennan too! :) We did the Pond Road loop, which we thought would be hilly, but wasn't too too bad! In total, it was 6.72 miles (mapmyrun.com!) which was pretty good! I later did like 5 minutes on a treadmill at this running clinic my mom wanted me to go to - they talked about nutrition and analyzed gait and foot structure, etc. Apparently, the raw patch of skin on my ankles is a result of too big shoes. Also - I apparently need orthodics because my arch is too big? idk... but it was fun to go to!

I also did the arm stuff today. Its definitely getting easier! And I think I'm gonna do legs tomorrow - too tired today/ too lazy!!

morning heart rate today - 12
morning heart rate yesterday - 13

62

all day I was hoping it would not rain after school, and it didn't! I was very pleased! So, I ran for 35 minutes with Nina doing the sprague - hardy loop, and then when I got back, there was Kevin and I did another 30ish minutes with him! I also learned NEVER to press the button and cross without the cross light - very bad morals! In total, the run was 62 minutes, which I'm guesstimating to be about 7 miles! Good day!

And then I did some abs. My abs were really sore and feeling weak, but I got through the routine!
