Megan Frodsham PVHS XC STS

I felt oh so much better today! Went down into Hell's hole and did 3- one minute hills and 5- 30 second hills. They were hard but I felt way better than any other day this week. I was nervous going into the work-out about how my tummy would do knowing its past history with running hard but I ate something before practice like coach roberts told me to and it went great..feel great relief about it to be honest. I mentally shut off going up the last hill back to the school but other than that I stayed pretty focused.

Went out with Aubrey this afternoon on a hot 3 miles! Both of us were feeling pretty tight but after the first 3/4 of a miles I started feeling better and the run went by rather quickly.

8 with a 2.5 tempo

Got really stressed out and tense. Coach gave me another good piece of advice (poor guy has to do this like everyday cuz I have so many issues). We talked about racing, he said that you can either give into your ego during the race and regret it for a whole week after or push past it and even if you don't get quite what you wanted you can feel good about it. "Don't give up what you want right now for what you want in the future"... I'm gonna have to work on that but I like it a lot.

SUPER hot afternoon run..I miss the rainy days :(

Dirt mile laps.

My alarm clock didn't go off and that pretty much set the pace for the rest of the morning...slow.

I was on time today..prolly cuz I didn't have to pick anyone up..it was weird. Did some grass today and striders.

*Don't trade nickles for quarters!!!

All comers Cedar race: I'm not sure what I expected but I wasn't too pleased with this race. I felt really good at the begining and fair towards the end but somewhere along the middle things went wrong. I have a lot of work to do on my form still. I need to figure out what it is I want from XC this year because I don't want to feel this frustrated ever race.

I really enjoyed Hells hole hills today.. I think that is the best I have run all week. Too bad it came a day late. We did 4x1min and 6x30sec hills and I was consistant throughout. The way back was a struggle but I felt alright cuz the workout was what was important.

3 miles and team night was awesome!

I am so proud of myself for finding this place :) and I got to run with some girls I don't normally run with..it was awesome to catch up on everyones stories :)

Doing our saturday run= finding a $50 bill..okay,okay :)

We used 2450 as our long hill. It was awesome!

I enjoy that trail other than it being super humid! I like my girls team! They make me really happy!!!!!

I was all ready for afternoon practice but the stupid marque (sp?) and student tours took over :/

I creep Liz's blog whenever I need to know our miles haha..I'm glad she is on top of it! :) Oh dear 1000's how you like to get harder...I just kept getting slower- exactly opposite of what I was suppose to do. I was kinda excited to do a workout again though!

This week and homecoming week are my two weeks of the year that I struggle with running the most cuz I'm just so tired from everything. It was supah hot today too!

Coach Roberts likes to make people feel slow..rude?..I think yes!

So very happy to be able to come to a morning practice :) yippy! Did our 200's in the morning- best idea ever!!!

It was a great run to green springs. I didn't have afternoon classes so it was really hard to wake up for my nap and come to practice but I am glad I did cuz we got to run with the boys on the way back which was a nice surprise!

This race was much better than the last one. My time was slower but I felt like I ran better. Normally when I hit the mental wall during the race that is it- I'm done but this time I was able to focus again and recommitte. I still have a lot of work to do. 

AM: My first workout in the morning. Hard. I am not as fast as those girls but coach says this will be good for me to work on sticking with them as long as I can and breaking out of my comfort zone that I like WAY too much. Now the key is just to not mentally fall to pieces. I think this is going to be really hard but hopefully so worth it.

PM: Oh sandburges... the memories!!!

AM: easy 3

PM: Aubrey and I went out on our nice 4 to star bucks before the time trail.. I was nervous for this one. My dad says that is the best he has seen me run..which I know should make me feel good but it just frustrates me cuz I know I have run better than what I am running. My mom says my form is getting better which is a plus.

RUNNING IN THE RAIN IS MY MOST FAVORITE!!!!!!!!! I loved today's workout.. did my farcklektsaoiejraiofs..who knows how you spell it... with stoner and nicole. I stuck with them best I could and did better than I normally do. Made it the whole way on the last one. It was a wonderful wet workout.

am- 3 miles

pm- 3 miles plus striders

went in the morning and then drove to logan..sad to be missing the fun of this weekend with the team dinner and suu.

Pizza hut warm felt really fast..my body was not awake. I did my best with the 1000's. I stuck in good one the first one and then did what I could with the others. It was a good workout. I am going to try eatting something before next time because I was so hungry and need the fuel. I'm going to try and calm my breathing because I would start to panic a little after the hill. I liked what coach said about fear this morning...I want to be brave but it is easier said than done..Going to work on that too.

PM- what a weird run this was.. we made up a 3 with coaches watch... ran on a play ground! Fun time! My legs and knees felt a little on the ouchy side so Aubrey and I iced!

My knee woke me up..that hasn't happened for a long time..it was horrid so I took some drugs and put on an ice pack and didn't go to morning practice which ended up with me sleeping through my alarm clock and being 45 minutes late to 1st period. nice.

AM: I am so happy about this workout. I wasn't as far off as I normally am. It is getting easier. My last 2 minuter and 3rd 400 were not great but other than those 2 I feel really pleased. what I am not please about is my knee..makes me nervous. Just gonna keep up on the ice.

PM: hot nails with stream splashing :)

AM: nice three to the artic!

PM: Up to green springs plus striders.... "I'm gonna carry rocks to throw at you on all our runs" -Coach Roberts :P rude!

Love the run-a-thon every year!
