Time to Play Catch Up

So the last time I logged on I completed 8 miles. Here is the latest.

July 22nd - We have been practicing at Incarnate Word University for our mid week practice. The track there is awesome, but it is extremely hot with no shade. The university has a nice trail that is shaded and I don't mind walking there. Today we did one lap thru the shaded trail and plyometrics at the track.

July 25th - Today was supposed to be the first time we do double digits. Yep, 10 miles. When I started in the morning I was feeling pretty confident that Iwould be able to complete it, but that didn't happen. I walked with one of the mentors Ashlee most of the first 5 miles. We caught up with 3 other girls at the Fire Station for a restroom break (and maybe see some of the firemen lol). Since we were feeling good, we decided to run intervals. Well somwhere around mile 7 my stomach started cramping and I felt a little light headed. I decided to call one of the coaches and have them pick me up. I didn't want to push it and end up throwing up and really feeling bad the rest of the day. I was disappointed, but I am trying to be okay with listening to my body and stopping when I need to.

July 29th - Didn't make it to practice. Not feeling well and slept.

August 1st - Missed the first practice at La Cantera, BUT it was because I had the best fundraiser the night before. David set up the Augie's Barbed Wire BBQ location, Watusi and El Verde Boys donated their time and entertained us with some great music. Frankie donated art work for a silent auction. The night was a success!!! Raised over $700. I am now only $600 away from my Nike goal. Contemplating fundraising for SA Rock N Roll. We will see!!!!

August 3rd - Made it to hills training at Eisenhower Park. Sprinted and walked a few hills. Didn't do as much as the runners. Took it a little slower, because it was my first time there. The heat is a killer.

August 5th - Walked 3 miles at Incarnate. Not too bad. Stayed in the shaded trail.

August 8th - Last one to finish BUT I completed 10 miles for the first time. YAY!!!!!!!!
