Hello readrers!
Today is Friday! TGIF! Today I am so sore from yesterday! I know I said this before but this time I think I actully mean it, yesterday was one of the hardest workouts! Kristi retested us in some areas to see the improvments. Brittany and I both gained 4 pounds of muscel! Which is kinda of hard to believe it such a short time. The bad news is Brittany found out that we are not allowed to use IPODS during the race on April 10th! I am extremly upset about this because I know it doesnt sound like a big deal but I can not run without my music! I really hope I can sneek it in and listen to it! Other then that the project is going well. Today I am taking it easy and not going to do anything too hard. I am excited for the race this sunday. It will be good practice to get in the feel of races. The race is only two weeks away! I am starting to get very nervous! But I really should not be! It will all work out! Later today I am going to finish my imovie for my midterm exam. Yesterday I helped Lindsay film hers. It was really cool to see someone elses WISE project. Be back later!

Hey!
Today is Thursday! This week is flying by. Today Brittany and I have a training session with Kristi. I am nervous to see what she is going to have us do today. She always pushes us to our limits. The other night Brit and I ran four miles with very little walking! I felt extremely accomplished! After we meet with Kristi we have another run today! I know that I will be sore tomorrow. I was looking at my calendar today and I can not believe how fast the race is approaching! It is only a few weeks away! My mom and dad booked our hotel the other day. This is all so exciting. I will be relieved when the race is over though, because I am starting to get a little bit nervous. Today Kristi is going to film us for our exam project. Once she does that I have to finish putting my imovie together. Lindsey is going to come over today after school and we are going to help each other with our projects. As I talked about earlier in my blog I am running a 5k this Sunday. My mom and dad are now doing it too! I am excited for them to do it. If it wasn't for my WISE project they would not be motivated to do this. Wise is really awesome and can get other people involved that you never thought about. Im going to go but I will be back later this week!

Hello!
It has been a while since I last blogged! Today is the first day back from spring break! I have not blogged over my spring break but I still have been working on my project of course! Over the break I continued to do the schedule, we are limited on time because the race is coming up soon! It is less then a month away! We are deflfitianlly doing the Irongirl race in Clearwater on April 10th. Yesterday I registered for the race so that was exciting! My dad is also booking the hotel this week. We are going to go up the day before because the race is at 7 am the next morning. Brittany was in Colorado most of spring break so it was very different doing our training by ourselves. We both agree that it is much easier having a partner through this process! Friday morning we met with Kristi and it was one of the hardest sessions we had with her! We were both extremely sore after! But it felt good to be back and training together! Then Sunday ( yesterday) we had our 6 mile run. This was another extremely hard day! It was not only our long run, but we were still tired, and we went at 12 in the afternoon so it was extremely hot out! I also did not drink enough water before and I was getting bad cramps! This is all good to know because we would not want that to happen in the real race. Much rather that happen during one of our runs. We also started off running for 5 min without stopping and walking for 1 for the first 3 miles of our run yesterday. I am so happy we tried this out because we both agree that if we run until we are tired and walk for a few min then we have more energy to finish the race! This sunday we are running a 5K at Markham park. I think that will be fun and it is also good practice to get the feel for what the race is going to be like. This afternoon I have my mentor meeting with Coach Love. I am excited for that because I did not see him at all last week! Ill be back to report later!

Hello!
Today is the begging of the week before spring break!!! I am so excited! This past week was a good week for my WISE project. We had another good week of sticking to our schedule! We also improved our time and got down to a ten min mile, which is our goal! Yesterday I went on a run and it was nice out because it was not too hot out. Today we trained with Kristi because this thursday Brittany is going away. Today was another hard day! But im glad that we got it in this week and it makes it much easier to do it with a friend! She gave us a list of things that she wants us to do on Wensday. I had to switch my mentor meeting to tomorrow because we had to meet with Kristi earlier. Also this weekend is going to be different because I will have to do my long run without Brittany. Im sure it will be fine though. We also got this running magazine that they where giving out for free in Jamba Juice. I have not taken a look at it yet but I am going to now before I go to bed. I am exhausted I think it has to do with the hard workout today! Goodnight! Ill be back soon!

Hello!
Happy Friday! Today I am so sore from yesterday! Yesterday Britany and I had another training session with Kristi. She made us work extremely hard again! We had our weekly hourly training. While we were talking to her we came up with the idea to make T-shirts. We have to design a slogan or a logo and we plan to give them to our family and mentors and everyone who has helped us with our project. Today is rest day! Me and Brittany both have differnt foot injuries! So we have been iceing them and making sure that we strach enough. They are not to serious yet but we definitly would not want them to get any worst. This weekend we have our 5 mile run. We are not sure where we are going to do it yet. We have been mixing up the routs that we run which makes it more interesting. Yesterday we averaged an 11 min mile and ran 4.3 miles after our training session! We where very happy about this because our goal is a 10 min mile. We realized that we are getting faster! We also started to take some pictures of us running in action. This we will use for our presntation an scarpbook. Next week Kristi is going to test us again like she did in the beggining so we can have a mid way report and see the improvments we have made. I really feel the running getting easier! It is amazing how quickly you can train your body to get used to it. Ill be back later this weekend and let you know how it is going! Talk to you soon!

Hello!
Today is Wensday. Half way through the week! So far this week has been yet another good week for WISE. Monday night Britany and I took a class at the Y. It was good and not too tiring which was good. We also went to A.C. Moore after school and purchased scrapbooks! This was a lot of fun because we both love doing that kind of stuff. In the scrapbook section they had a bunch of great disney stuff so we decided that we are going to make our scrapbooks to a Disney theme! I think Coach Love with enjoy that! We talked about setting time aside once a week for working on our scrapbooks. We also decided on a race. We are going to do the Irongirl in Clearwater Fl on April 10th. We are a little nervous that we don't have as much time to train but it is going to be a lot easier if we stay in Florida. Yesterday afternoon we had another team meeting and Coach Love went over what we have to do for our midterm exam. I am excited to start working on it. He showed us examples of ones from previous years and they looked cool. This afternoon we are not sure yet what we are going to do for our workout. We might bike, swim, or spin. Yesterday after our meeting we went running right from school. We ran 3.8 miles except we had to stop because it was boiling out! It was the hottest part of the day on one of the hottest days of the year! We realized that we either have to run very early, or later after the sun goes down. We think we are going to sign up for a race this weekend which will be fun! I will be back later to share about the rest of my week!
