Cross Country 10/23/09

Over the past two weeks, we have run a few races. We had one at Southeast Regional High School and one at Nauset. At both races I have seen my improvement soar compared to earlier endeavors. On each course I have been able to jog or run the whole course, and my current "running rate" is about 40-60%. I have also been able to keep up during practices, and my mile times are nearing 8 minutes. I've also found that I run better in the cold weather, since the running keeps me warm. Next week we have two games: a tri-meet with Pope John Paul and CCA, and another meet against Southeastern.

Today we did not have Ultimate Frisbee as the result of a half day.

Cross Country 10/9/09

These past two weeks, I have been able to be at more practices. However, I had to miss the last meeting and today's meeting in order to make up work and because of scheduling reasons. My times have been better overall, and I'm now able to run a consistent three miles without walking. During one practice, after running the 2.1 mile "triangle" and four double-quarter mile laps, everyone had to run the triangle again. However, many people did not finish, and were sent back. I was one of the two people who did finish. This past Wednesday, we ran against Cape Cod Academy and Pope John Paul II on our home course, our last home course game of the season. Although my placement was worse, coming in 25th, my time was better by nearly two minutes, and only 13 seconds from my best pace on any course. Next week, I will try to run for longer distances and push myself for better times.
