Well, XC has officially started and I couldn't be happier.  I came thinking that it would be a nice easy day to work back into the running formula. NOPE!  Coach had us running five miles at 7:30 pace and it was awful.  First day back and it is kicking my butt.  Note to Self: Don't eat chocolate granola bars before run.

Second day back and it was harder than yesterday.  I seriously couldn't get to sleep last night and was really sore this morning.  Same result as yesterday too, fell behind during the last mile and a half.  Goal: keep up the entire time.  I am not going to be here until saturday because I am going to Youth Conference but I will do my best to keep running.

Well, I missed a few days because I went to youth conference and didn't get to run.  But I am back now and ran the ridge today,  normal route, but my asthma started to kick in about the mile and a half mark and I fell behind.  After I got over it I started to catch back up, but I was too far behind to go completely.  I need to take a puff before I run. And need to find something to eat before I run in the morning.

Another six miles and 7:30 pace, but it felt easier today.  We went on the back trails where we normally go and went out 3 then back 3.  I took a puff this time and it did help, but I didn't take it soon enough because I fell behind again, but not as far as before. Still need to find something to eat in the morning. Kids camp was today, I was in the fourth and fifth grade group.  Really, really hyper little kids, we played tag and sharks and minnows.  Also I went to Acceleration, so Bonus Mile!

Another six miles today,  we went on the backside of the ridge after we started out on our normal route.  I took a puff before the warmup and I was able to keep up the entire time!  I am going to start to try to eat something in the morning.

Eight miles today.  we went out onto the Arizona strip today and ran.  The first half mile is brutal.  Loose gravel with a slight uphill.  You can't get any traction.  The group also started out at 7:20 pace and I could not stay with them on the gravel.  I talked to Ben on the way back and he said it is an unconcious reaction to running with people, you naturally speed up.  But again, I was too far behind to catch up completely.  I am going to Acceleration today to build speed, so that should give me an extra mile.
