Easy practice.

Oh, and today we had practice, of course. It was easy: we skipped over some of our crunches, causing my abs to heave a major sigh of relief, we did our warm-up and our form work, and then we just had to do a "work-out." That means the long-distance had to do a 40-minute run, and the sprinters (me!) had to do 3 sets of 3 30-meters, a.k.a. 9 30-meters. Then we got to go home, so it was a nice, relaxed practice.
The only problem was the heat. Oh, my God, it's so hot out! Not even a month ago I was blogging about how cold it was. Now, my neighbors are prepping to open the pool, and I can't wait. It will be soooo nice to take a long swim after track every day. It'll be awesome!

Hot weather=water, water, water!

The weather here--it's hot.
Actually, it's been hovering near the eighties, which means one thing: it's humid. Very humid. And hot.
So, FYI, if it's hot in your area and you're running, hydrate! Gosh, our coach (and my doctors, and teachers, and blah blah blah) cannot stress water enough. If not water, Gatordade. Something. Seriously, keeping hydrated is so, so important.

Explanation time!

Hey, all. So my last post was a while ago, and I've just got to explain. It's been weighing on my concscious all day--no, really.
So last week, Tuesday, was our first track meet. I didn't compete but my friend Blayke kicked butt in the 100--yay, Blayke! Then we had practice Thursday, but I didn't go because I was at orientation for my new school (which, by the way, is awesome). And we didn't have school for the first 2 days of this week so that's why I've been surreptitiously absent. I love the word surreptitiously, btw, and I overuse it constantly. Sorry bout that.
Anyway, that's what's been going on lately!
Love,
Caiti
