run again

Cross Country is absolutly awesome!!
I love how our taining practices are much more structured, I have learned a lot about running and improved my speed. I am sick right now, so we will see how the next few runs go. My mini goals are to run the 5k in under 25 minutes this friday. Wish me luck, i think i can do it with the motivation. This friday is our anual Terry Fox Run, and I am so excited. But I want to get more training in and really improve and work hard to improve. So here is my planned schedule for the next few weeks. Plus running for team practice every weekday except thursday becaue I teach swimming lessons thursdays!

Cross Country was great, we had the option not to run and did not run formally as a group because the school wouldn’t allow it due to the 40 degree weather and humidex. So another girl and I ran by ourselves, we are about even paced so it was good, and nice to have company. We got kinda hot though and only ran like 2-3 k but we ran through the splash pad which was fun!! Now I have three days to practice before running with the whole team officially on Monday. Wish me luck. I really also want to recruite younger girls to run as not many do, running is such a great sport and more people should try it. The team is awesome though and I really like being a senior and getting to know the juniors and being able to lead them and get them to feel lke they are welcome and already a part of the school and our team.

Well Cross country running starts tonight, I’m kinda scarred but I will do it anyway, even if I am slow. I can always work hard to get better right? I am really excited fo rthis years school team because we have new girls joinging so I won’t be alone which is always a plus.
