Ive decided to start puting my training Log into separate months.. Its easier to read and also, it will be on the first few pages of blogs, so maybe people will comment!! hint hint...

Feb 1- 15 min warm up- 20min wistle workout-10 min cool down-circuit-abs

This was suprisingly a great workout for me.. My knees were hurting on the down hill... I was pretty tore up from my fall yesterday, but I felt great on the hard intervulls. It was great.. I could have done more.. Im excited about my fitness right now.

Feb 2- 50 minutes Rexius- Alone :(

I really dont enjoy running alone.. I did use by Ipod on my run for the first time.. It helped me focus on running rather then being alone. I tend to not push myself as hard when Im by myself. So with my pod, the time few by. I was tired though, knees bugged me a bit twards the end. But I think I just need to recover from Ridgline.

Feb 3- 25 minutes... had some bad food last night... run of hell!! Had to turn back early.

I meant to go 75 today, but I had some trouble, lets just say I must have either had the flu or I ate soemthing bad. we'll see tomorrow, if Im still sick, then I have the flu. I think it was bad food though. Very dissapointed.. :(

Feb 4- 50 minutes easy, hurdle drills, 10 min abs

It was good, I felt like we were going slower then usual, but easy days should be easy. The abs were great! My hip flexers were a bit sore after the hurdle drills.

Feb 5- Minutes 10min warm up- 4,4,3,2,2,1-10 min cool down- circuit-10 min abs

This workout was good.. I was a bit tired today.. Im not sure why! I slept 9 hours. I even fell asleep in class! Im gonna have to figure this out.. The workout was okay though, I felt sickish, so maybe Im fighting a bug. We'll just have to see I keep feeling crappy.

Feb 6- 20 minutes easy AM..55 minute pool workout

Feeling okay.. A little tired again. But I felt like maybe I didnt eat enough. Im starting to feel like Im getting fit, so thats nice. The workout was tough. I really like that these workouts are as hard as you make them.

Feb 7- 47 minutes.. easy..

Tired again... Dang it. I need to figure this out!! My tummy hurt today too.. Oh man! I just wanna feel good! Hopefully the weekend will rejuvinate me.. Just swiched to a stronger iron suppliment. Hopefully that will help. It was fun to run with Leah and Katherine. Ran in flats because I forgot my running shoes at home. MISTAKE..

Knees and heels are killing me.. not to mention my flats are 4 years old. Being a poor college student doesnt help that issue..

Feb 8- 20 min warm up- auburn hillsx2-15 min cool down-circuit

Dissapointing day again.. I was more tired then ever before.. I could only do two sets of hills while the others did three. I took a two hour nap too. I must not be eating right.... I have to figure this out!

Feb 9- 35 minutes easy with Katie and Gracie!

Ran in the morning with Katie.. I felt good. I pushed the baby stroller with Grace.. it was definately harder then I thought.. She had so much fun on the bumpy part.. Little babe giggles are the cutest.. Good run for once..

Feb 10- 35 min run alone-20 min run w/Kat (truffle shuffle), 30 min with Jane (cool down)..

So, today was interresting.. I went and ran 35 minutes prior to my two mile run with my friend Kat.. I ran the two mile truffle shuffle with Kat, I acctually pushed her baby stroller for a mile of it! It was a two seater, yep harder then the one seater I pushed yesterday. I had a lot of fun with Kat, she did so awesome! Then I ran a "cool down" with Jane. She is definately inspirational to me, such a great friend to have in my life. Such a great runner! She ran her bootie off today.. Go jane! If I could have half that talent.. wow

Feb 11- 50 minutes easy. Hurdle drills, ice bath.

I felt good! Efficient and smoothe today.. Thank goodness.

Feb 12- 15 min warm up- 4x1000m-4 strides-15 min cool down- circuit.. ice cup

Today was possibly the worst feeling workout I have ever run. I was more exauhsted then I think I have ever been, hands down. But with each aweful workout, I realize just how hard I will have to work to accomplish my goals, running isnt just about putting one foot in front of the other.. its about meshing your whole life into one functional dynamic. I think maybe the other aspects of my life are weighing on me. Trav is going to lower my mileage (I think that will help), but I am going to have to figure out some of the other aspects of my life. Everything will be great, Im just very frustrated and dont want to be tired anymore!

Feb 13- Day off.. : (

Definately needed this day! I can hardly keep my eyes open. Walking to class today I had to sit down and rest for a second.. Oh man.. What the heck is going on?

Feb 14- 30 easy.. hills at ridgline.

I felt so bad!!! My slow almost walking pase was so difficult for me. I was so freaking fatigued. This is very discouraging!! I love ridgline and I HATED it today.

Feb 15- 30 easy.

It was an okay day for a run. I had my blood drawn today so The thrity minutes was a bit woozy. I couldnt really lift in the weight room as I was pretty tired. My body just didnt want to do anything else.

Feb 16- 35 easy

This was my lonely day.. definately an okay run. Im coming back.

Feb 17- 40 easy with Katie!!!

This run was on cement.. dang it. But okay acctually! I feel a little better. I never got extremely exauhsted. I felt like I had somehting left. I am glad that I didnt push it.

Feb 18- 37 min easy.

I really wanted to go 45 minutes but felt super tired at about 35 minutes in, so I didnt push it. I cant wait to find out the results of my blood tests. I am feeling pretty bad.. Its frustrating.

Feb 19- 30 minutes easy.

I really wanted to go 35 minutes today, but most of all I just wanted to do a workout, but once again Im too exauhsted. I found out today that my ferritin is at 14.5. Not exactly high enough for normal function.

Atleast I know whats wrong now. The lane athletes had such a great workout, im pretty discouraged, but understanding that I have so much time to run well! I just have to take care of myself better.

Feburary 20- Pool workout- 20 min of fartlikish work-relays

Today was harder then usual. My heart rate wouldnt come down. I acctually got up to about 170 and that was a bit scary. I didnt let up though, maybe I should have. I just dont want to let this whole "low ferritin" thing get the best of me. I hate having a weakness, and it seems as though I ALWAYS DO!!! I cant be a weenie, I just cant. Sometimes I feel like people think Im making excuses, when in reality, I would give anything to run without an excuse.. This winter was wonderful..

Feb 21- 30 minutes easy

I wanted to go farther, but my body wouldnt let me!!!!!!!! I felt great for about 20 minutes, then I got real tired. I wanted to go 40.. It will all come back to me in due time..

Feb 22- 35 minutes easy

The girls had a great workout today! Woo Hoo! I ran 35 minutes, it was okay.. I had more energy then I had expected coming into practice. I slept in my class and honestly felt aweful before practice. But the run was fine.

Feb 23- 50 minutes!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!

I ran for 50 minutes with Katie at Alton Baker, she was going 18 miles today, so I thought I'd join her for my run. I felt great (the pace was slower then I usually go) and was happy to finish a run without wanting to crawl in a hole and give up. Today showed a glimmer of hope.. thank goodness

Feb 24- 40 minutes easy

Good run, Im a little tired.. I stayed up too late last night. But the run was fine. I am happy to be running with a bit of energy now!

Feb 25- 30 minutes easy/ core/circuit.

Wanted to go 40 minutes, but I was feeling pretty tired at 30, my legs got pretty heavy. I decided to stop so that I had some energy for the weight room.. Im really frustrated, the athletes at lane did a wistle drill workout today and I was so jealous! I wish I could be out there too, but all in good time! Things are coming around!

Feb 26- 40 minutes easy @ rexius/amazon

Im proud to say that I ran an entire fourty minutes without wanting to dig a hole and crawl inside.. I was excited and energized the whole run.. I think Im starting to get back to my old self again.. I dont wanna jinx it though.. Oh and I did 3xemh!!! I acctually had turnover!! No more bricks on my back.. yippe

Feb 27- 40 minutes easy/ core/ circuit

Day two of feeling good! YES.. I even felt okay in the weight room.. Its seems as though, I am doing something right.. Or maybe that Trav is forcing me to do the right stuff.. I'll take either!

Feb 28: 40 minutes easy

Feeling good.. woo hoo!!

Feb 29- 45 minutes on my own..

It was nice to run after practice. I got to watch stuff the I usually dont get a chance too.. It was good. My run was nice and easy.. seems like a trend lately..
