12 mile bike ride: success! Ahh I didn’t realize how much I’d missed the feeling of biking until today!

Tomorrow is my last IB exam- French. Need to go cram now booo.

Later tonight my super cool jazz musician friend has a gig at some sushi restaurant so my friends and I are going to go eat sushi/hear his combo play. Let’s be real though- I’m in it for the sushi haha.

One of my friends took third at state in the 1600! She is the biggest inspiration ever, coming off injury after injury. She ran a 5:02.07.

Debating on introducing myself in the facebook group for my incoming college class…it’s fascinating and extremely puzzling to me as to why so many out of state students would come to the most culturally bland state in the country. They’re all so excited- I don’t get it. I wish I could be as happy as they are about college starting. For me, it’s still a stinging slap in the face to be stuck going here.

Geez I really need to change this attitude if I’m going to have any fun. It’s just hard to bounce back from such a let down.

I’m really looking forward to tomorrow because I’m going to a yoga class at 6:00am before school! I haven’t done yoga in AGES so I’m super excited. I’m supposed to be on my post season break of a week off, but I’m only two days in and already itching to run. I think I’m going to make myself rest until Monday, when I’ll start biking to cross train. I’ll probably hike this weekend though (be prepared for pictures!)- gotta do something to keep myself from gaining 213982347 pounds, haha.

Good luck to every one racing at state over the next few weeks!

I am so sleepy today for no good reason- I got enough sleep last night. Must be a side effect of senioritis in its final stages.

Hi! I'm a track athlete (triple jump/high jump in particular) And I want to stay in shape before I begin my summer training so I was thinking of taking up running which will also help with my endurance in jumps. I was wondering if you could maybe give me a starter running workout routine or plan to go by for the next few weeks? Thanks so much!

Hey there little buddy! Let me just say that I commend you for doing the triple jump and high jump- I’m pretty sure I would find a way to hurt myself while doing those, haha. However, I honestly don’t think I’m qualified to be giving you training advice since I only have experience with distance running.

For the triple jump and high jump, I think you’re going to want to keep your fast twitch muscle active, and doing longish runs are not going to help with that. If you want to improve your cardiovascular endurance, give jump roping a try. It’s great cross training and really gets your heart pumping. I would also do some agilities before any type of workout (high knees, butt kickers, skips, grape vines, Russian kicks, etc) and definitely get yourself started on a daily core regiment. The one I do usually takes me about 20 minutes. I’m hesitant to tell you to go out and start running a few miles a day; I think your best bet would be to talk to your coach about what you want to achieve. Good luck!
