2012 Astros race for the pennant.
I haven't blogged in a while but I know I probably should. This morning I ran the astros race for the pennant and actually did better than expected because I haven't been running that much because I just finished my track season. I am going to start hitting it hard tomorrow though. If I can get rid of this soreness from ab ripper x. Remind me never to do that again!!
Sooo for the Astros race. I started off pretty fast. With the boys... I probably should start out a lil slower so I can finish stronger though. I know once I do some speedwork and turnover stuff I will get a lot faster.
I maintained the lead till like the last mile or so when Callie Wells passed me and I didn't really respond. I think the hills killed me! I still got second and I am still a collegiate runner so I wouldn't have been able to keep the airline tickets anyways! Once I am done with my eligibility I will be able to keep some prizes if I can win any races. ;) My overall time ended up being 17:27 which was my fastest time on that course. Last year I ran 17:39! To be quite honest I would have been happy with anything under 18:30 @ this point!
Next on my racing agenda will be some Rice all comers races! I will try the 800/mile/1500 I would like to be able to run fast in them but who knows! :). I think If I can run some shorter races it will help me with my longer races. I know for a fact when I have a fast mile time I can run wayyy faster in my longer races. I don't know why it works that way but it does. With the training stand point I will be running some Hill repeats, fartleks, and some turnover on the track. I will also be bumping my mileage up! I really need to have a good cross country season!! My goal as a collegiate athlete is to qualify for nationals in something but I have failed to meet those goals so far, I think I can do it this year if I believe in myself and do everything I can to get there!
This track season I did have some bumps in the road that have kept me from running my best. I dealt with a random back injury for a month! That sucked!! It was either from carrying my luggage up 3 flights of stairs because I am too impatient to take the elevator ( I NEVER CARRY ANYTHING UPSTAIRS ANYMORE!!!) and Medball made it even worse. It was depressing, I got to the point where I could not even walk, so running was not possible!! I tried every single day, I began to question if I would ever be the same again... After a few chiropractor and massage visits things finally started to get better. I fully recovered in 5-6 weeks, I wish I would have healed up a little faster though, but everything happens for a reason. Sometimes we can't understand why and it's frustrating, but I put full faith in God so things work out in the end! Right after I dealt with my back problem I had some anemia/low iron issues. I don't think the Target iron I was taking was absorbing well enough. I found this stuff called proferrin and quickly after I started taking it I have had more energy and have been able to complete workouts/ races much stronger! I also haven't been taking ANY naps! A month ago I was wanting to take 2 naps a day, which is a HUGE time waster in my opinion! Anyways I have rambled well enough. My goal is to try to keep this blog updated on a daily or atleast weekly bases! Cheers! :)
