Hi, I'm Laura :) I'm starting my 2nd year of running cross country and track in high school. This is just a blog to motivate myself and to motivate you. Enjoy :)

Yesterday we had a 7 mile run and I felt like crap the whole time.

Today we did a workout & had a 2.5 mile warm-up, six 200 meter hill sprints, half a mile jog, and then 4 more hill sprints, faster and shorter. Felt pretty good today but my hips still hurt super bad. 

I have a huge blister on my toe, also.

1 mile warm-up

3 mile tempo run, 1 minute recovery after every mile.

1 mile cool-down

5 miles, not too bad. Didn’t feel too terrible, kept in the front of the group the whole time. I think i’m gonna move up a group tomorrow.

I think the only reason why i’m doing so well on workouts/runs lately even before practice is how frickin’ excited I am to see my times improve. I’m so motivated to do well… I will work hard every single day of practice to get what I want. 

I’m not giving up.

I’m actually really excited for my cross country practice to start on Monday. :) 

I just feel so pumped to train really hard this season. 

Hopefully that feeling stays!
