Noone: Fear Me

Wow... It felt pretty long, but short at the same time... It makes sense in my head. I felt pretty cool being one of the 'special' level 2s that got to run 10. Jared told me it doesn't really mean much but I say STS (So Totally does Son)! It was sweet!

My legs were hurtin' today! I could tell I ran 10 yesterday! It was nice to kick back a little today.

It doesn't seem like we are getting a lot of guys out to afternoon practice. The only reason I wouldn't think they would want to show up is because of the heat but that is a thing they will have to get used to.

We went swimming after and it felt so good!

Today was a hill work out. I really feel like I am improving on hills and it is getting me way excited! I still have a hard-ish time going out of Hell's Hole. That hill is a killer!

Today was the barefoot grass run. It was nice, simple, and... some other third thing... I was surprised when we did striders too but they were also simple. I don't know if I am happy or not about being done with the kid's camp stuff. It was fun while it lasted but it could get a  little crazy!

Today's run was just amazing! It was a hill fart-lick run (ew). On the way to the beginning of it I was thinking "aw man, hills, and I am required to go fast for a long time?! Pbbt! (<- farting noise. I think someone licked it when I thought it too...) But when we started getting into it I felt great! And on the way back after Coach's insperational speach of "it will end" I pushed harder and felt even more amazing! It might have been my inner 800 runner calling me but I felt comfortable doing this and I am proud of what I did.

Now the afternoon run didn't feel so amazing. I will think twice before eating a big plate of spaghetti an hour before I run.

I really don't think the distance bothers me anymore! It was a nice run but my upper thigh was hurting the whole run. And when we started the tempo miles my whole right leg hurt. Well it seemed like each part got a flash of pain. My toes and my knee both got the flash of pain. My thigh continued to hurt. So I iced my upper thigh after the run, then it looked like I peed my pants (I really did pee my pants but I used ice as my excuse tehe :) shhhh)

There wasn't anything too amazing to blog about on this run. I'm glad I got my afternoon run in with all my student council stuff.

Well I feel stupid that I wasn't able to race. You can ask my parents, I complained about not going. I will try my hardest to not miss any other races.

Today was the 2450 park barefoot run. I think Josh and I confused a lot of old people because we ran together and said morning to these old people sitting at a bench every time we passed them. I think it was pretty clear that I was one of the people who didn't race because I lapped everyone besides Zack and Josh atleast once.

I never thought I would get into that kind of detail with my milage (8.625) but I did one more strider with Manue and I wanted it to show :)

Today was the fire station hills. They were pretty intense and I feel I am really doing well with hills now. I got third mostly every time (Colton and I tied on his last one (he is one fast dude)). I feel really awesome being one of the "higher" level 2s.

Wow, it's crazy how close varsity is in my reach. I don't know if I am worried or excited. Varsity is something that I really do want, but it came up fast! I really hope I can show my best on the time trial and not let any nervousness or negativity get to my head. This is INTENSE!

I did the run for Megan Birk. It was very fun. I took second place! The guy that beat me was some marathon runner dude. Devin, Wes, and I finished our milage after. It was nice to get up early and do the run because I feel better and I have more of the day to waste! I mean... to do service? Yeah, let's go with that...

WOW! Can, I just start off saying that run was poop! Well, it was my fault at some points. I really need to learn to drink more water! Drinking water is a big thing I need to work on. I was feeling light headed, my mouth was dry, and I was even getting chills. I am glad we stopped at the river because I think I could have suffered something serious! The river was my savior! It felt so fantastic! I think if I just start drinking more water, I will be okay and I will start doing better on my runs. 

I also decided that I will be showing up to more morning runs than required of me. I think that will be better for me to do because I really do need to step it up and if student council ever gets in the way (which I don't think should happen often) I will have some mileage for that day. So I think on Tuesdays and Thursdays I will show up every now and then. 

Today's run was AMAZING! So much better than yesterday's run! I felt so good! I was hoping I could get closer to Casey though. I am not blaming this for what was the ending result but, my shoe laces were bothering me like no otha'! Then my shoe started getting loose and started to slide which hurt a lot after from the intesne burning! It was most definatly heat from cuss fire. But over all I was proud of what I did and proud to say I am on VARSITY! I swear (but I am getting better), the greatest words I ever heard come out of Coach's mouth were, "You need to get the varsity shorts"! I was all like, word to yo motha'! I can't wait for state! WOOT WOOT! I just hope I don't get injured!

Today was a nice and simple run. I'm getting better with hydrating, which I am happy about. My foot didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. I just hope by the time of the race it won't hurt at all.

We did 4 1000's today. They were pretty intense. The first one I did was a 3:05, the second one was a 3:03, the third one was really bad, it was 3:15, the fourth one was my best with a 3:02. I did an extra .5 during my cool down with the people not racing this weekend. 

Today was just a simple 5 mile run to get ready for tomorrow's race. Colton really likes to speed up on simple runs. That kid is crazy quick. It is going to be fun to race with him tomorrow. I hope I remember how to race. I remember this course being easier so I think it is a good one for me to start on this season. We did striders after on the baseball feild.

"And your JV Champion with a time of 17:39 from Pine View, TIM LUNT"! That sounded so amazing! I realized I could have pushed myself harder when I finished but I am happy with the outcome. I am really proud where I am on the team. Sure my time was around the same time I got at the end of last year but I will improve and I will break 17 (new goal)! I am really excited for this year! Our team is looking so amazing!

Today I was really shocked with how many boys didn't show up to morning practice. A lot of the people that didn't show up are the people that keep telling me that they want to improve. I remember when I was like that; wanting to improve but didn't want to work for it. Doesn't make sense but people still do it.

Today's work out was pretty intense. 8 miles with (about) 15 minutes of tempo. That was the first time that I stayed that long with the Varsity boys (myself? I don't know what to call them now that I am one of them... It's kind of cool haha!) during a tempo. It was always so easy just to fall behind during a tempo before, but now I know that there is no room for that with what I need to do to get the team where we need to be.

I had the hardest time finding a bathroom around our school during the run. Either the building was locked, I couldn't find the bathroom and no one was there, or they said it was illegal for them to let me use it (I think they store dead bodies in them!). I hated it! Not only did it hurt because I had to hold it in, but I also had to make a lot of stops to see if I could find one! It kind of frustrated me!

I know it should be 10.75 but Jared and I went straight to Mark's and rolled our legs and by the time we finished everyone was lifting.

I can really feel these work outs working! Haha! My legs have been hurting this whole week. I hope I can get used to these harder work outs soon because its having more of a negative affect on me in short terms. In long term I know this will make me better and I am waiting for that day to come! I am excited!

Today's morning run I took very easy. My legs are still feeling sore but I am taking better care of them.

Today we did Cruzers. The first couple weren't that bad but the last one, I don't know if it was the thought I was almost done, but it was a lot slower for me. Another thing I now feel should be my next thing to get over (I don't think hills are that bad on me anymore) are negative thoughts. When one of them actually gets me to slow down it is so much easier for the others to affect me as well. Sometimes I can get rid of them and I will continue running fine but, when they get me, they get me!

Today's morning run I felt a lot better than yesterday's. I hope I continue getting better so I can run well on Saturday.

Today was a barefoot 2450 park run. It was nice to get something a little bit more chill and simple. Still extremly hot though. The weather is getting warm too.

Did anyone get my joke/truth?

Today was a nice simple 5 mile run with striders. My legs aren't feeling sore they are just feeling very tired. I really hope that they are feeling better tomorrow. That is the number one thing bothering me right now.

Oh my goodness! I felt so good on this race! 7th place Varsity! I'm so stoked! It boosted my confedence a lot! I was a little worried at the first because I had to go to the bathroom and I am still a little soar but I did a good job with my thoughts and kept the bad ones out. The cheering crowed helped a lot. They kept me pumped. Oh but I am just so excited for future races!

Again, I am so glad we didn't do a 8 mile run with tempos! Haha! Well my legs were really sore today. They weren't so bad when we started running and the ice bath seemed to do wonders! It felt cold... so, so cold!

I wasn't able to go to morning practice today because we had to wake up the Homecoming Royalty.

Today's run was 1,000's. I felt fine throughout the whole work out but during the cool down I just started feeling sick! I didn't know what was going on! I got flashes of it during weights as well. It was so weird! I am also still feeling so sore! I got a stick thing so I will start using that a lot. I hope my legs start feeling better!

Today we did a track work out. I felt like I did pretty well considering I stayed up with the faster varsity runners. I started feeling a lot more tired at the 200's but I kept a nice steady pace and pushed it harder on my last one. Overall I was pretty happy with the outcome.
