doing nothing today because of my shins and left ankle. i know my ankle is because of steeple, but my shins have only gotten bad since we, as a team, have started half@$$ing stretches. from now on, i'm going to take the time to do it properly, even if the rest of you aren't. i also want to start doing iron crosses and scorpions again, for the fun of it.

Event: ROC - Letchworth West [2009 Club Series #1]
 

Only made one real mistake, between 2 and 3, but it was a big'un. Because of it, I ended up finding 4 and working back to 3. That's where I ran into Zach Lyons for the first time since the beginning. After that we were sort of running together inadvertently. We chose different routes, (I tried to stick to trails as much as possible for fear of getting lost again) but we always ended up reaching the controls within a minute of each other. I ended up beating him by like 20 seconds.

Bottom line, he's a way better navigator, but my legs are longer.

10 minute warm up before the event
~21 minutes with Zach retrieving controls and running straight into a swamp.

first time doing an orange!

Orange - Splits

I was yawning before the race even started and that Irondequoit kid cut me off at the barrier, but I'm happy with a PR

Some hurdling action, water pit domination, and balance beam gymnastics to prepare KJ² for Hilton.

So my ******* driver's ed ran til well after 6:30 and my mom apparently doesn't know where the Gates track is (and neither do I,) so I couldn't run the meet. Then I drive to the track, thinking "Golly, maybe I shall hurdle some steeples for Friday", but the freaking Titans were having a meet.

...I was so upset, I went to Peaches Cafe.

Because Buffem said it's delicious.

And I ate. A lot.

Buffem was right.

I eat when I'm upset.

C • Question Mark 2

super easy cos my legs kill. klehr said i can run steeple on friday! (even though i'll be destroyed..)

i may or may not make the meet tomorrow because i'm not even going to be getting out of driver's ed until 6-6.15

I'm really unsure of the times because I gave AJ my watch and half the time nobody was checking theirs for me, but I felt sluggish so here's my guesses:
75-80-79-73-82-84
This is really bad, Coach Klehr wanted it to be 65-70

I'm really eager to train for and regularly run steeplechase, but I'm guessing my time from Saturday precludes that, correct?
