First distance run in awhile...

KJ was gone today because of the Elite meet, and so he left us with a workout and put Amber in charge. Amber is a student at the college studying to become a physical educator  She's almost, but not quite, an assistant sprinting coach. 
Some pictures from the Elite meet. Courtesy of KJ:



The workout was just 4 laps with 100 yrd sprints on the straightaways, 10 100s with 40 second rests between. The weight room was locked and since Amber isn't an official coach she doesn't have a key and we couldn't workout. I don't think anyone was sad. That was the earliest the girls sprint team has ever finished. Usually we're the last ones there, because KJ just talks and talks.

I decided that since I haven't really been training for the half-marathon well at all since track started that I should probably go for a run. Start gathering some miles up.

WORST IDEA EVER, actually that's a lie. I've had worst ones. Like working out with Nick.

I felt good, but not for long. I was originally just going to do 3 miles and some hills. Didn't happen. I wound up doing 8.2 miles on a really hilly course. Why was it so hilly?! I ran around town randomly choosing where I'd go and somehow wound up running all the bad hills.

Then my shoes got soaked because all the snow is melting due to the fact that it was 67 Degrees F out. The puddles actually felt good because the cooled me off, but the fact that my shoes gave me blisters so big and painful I couldn't walk right, did not feel good. 

The best part of the run was when I was running by my dentist's office and some guys from school drove by. No idea who they were, didn't get a look.  Why was this the best part? One of the boys leaned out the window and yelled "I LOVE YOU!!". Just what I needed. I had been feeling miserable, and that made me laugh so hard! I love when people do that. As long as they mean it in a non-creepy way.

Speaking of creepy there was this pick-up truck that I first noticed before turning onto Airport road. I only noticed it because I was wondering why the guy wasn't pulling out of the parking lot of some building  He was just sitting there. Then I was past it (this was like a 1-2 minute thing. I was a ways away), and would've forgotten it, but before I turned onto Airport Road, it slowly pulled out and turned with me. Thank goodness that it's a busy road. The look he gave me as he drove by made me want to shower. Awkward. 

Okay, well I have a busy weekend and should probably go to bed!

Random bits and pieces of stuff

WARNING: There are a lot of pictures While biking with Nick we stopped at the Continental divide, and as we stood there trying to figure out how to tell the other that we should turn back this bike adventure hurts, we heard some snowmobilers. The sound alone was enough for Nick to launch into a rant about snowmobilers, who he, I now know, hates. Well they came up behind us and crossed the road a few feet away from where we were. For some reason there was a large group of them too, I mean since when do they don things in groups? Anyways, as soon as Nick says "They're a bunch of d**ches!" the biggest one goes by. He stops, shuts off the snowmobile and starts walking towards us. We freaked out! I was thinking "Holy fudge knuckles! He heard him!!!", just as Nick says,"Let's go South!" We headed South. Fast. The reason we went South was because it's take us away from the snowmobiler, and farther away from town. That's the reason we kept going,...

Fun?

I was invited to go to a party. By a senior. BOO-YA!! So Jake and I went. We all mat at the basketball game Side note: We won, after going into overtime and almost a second overtime! The boys  are now going on to either section finals or section quarters.  Then we all went bowling, which hurt my ankle, so that now this morning it's all in a fit. We bowled until 11pm and then went back to Sidney's house were Spencer asked Marly to prom! Aww. There was a huge banner and everything! Once things called down everyone  headed in for food, well Jake, Kali and I already had. Hehehee. How does Cathy manage to make everything taste so good? We played Dance Dance Revolution 4, messed with each other and ate food. Jake and I should never play Dance Dance. We're not the best and look awkward. The entire time I missed my "group", my close friends, the one's who know me, who I actually hang out with. I normally don't hang out with the people who were there, some of them ...
