Well here we go...

Did 2x1000's today. They were nice. A little tough by the end but just cuz we were talking through the whole thing. Hit 4:24 both times. So right on target. Glad to be back with the team!

4.30! Added a little bit by going through tunnels and up hills we weren't supposed to. Trail run today. It was basically all down hill the first half so we figured it was gonna suck on the way back. So we formed a line and had a girl lead for every 400 meters. But it wasn't too bad actually. Pretty fun run with the girls

Tempo day! Woo hoo! It was a pretty good run actually. Have never been very good at tempos but helped lead with Nicole, Mia and Liz and stayed at a solid pace. I was supposed to be at like 7 minute pace and for the first little bit we kinda warmed into it but the rest of the time we were under 7. So really solid and had a good group of girls! Weights afterward

DI Warm up and cool. We did the kosmin test today. It was haaaaard! Bleh. Didn't think it would be this hard. Felt pretty good the first two laps, third was pretty tough but that last one was killer. I usually feed off of the peoples pace in front of me so the last one was harder for me cuz I started out in front so I didnt have anyone to feed off of. So ended up getting passed at the end. Which is okay because Nicole and Mia did stellar. Just next time hopefully I can stay up with them for the last few seconds. Pretty beat, prolly gonna be sore tomorrow so I'm gonna roll and stretch real good. 

3 miles easy with striders. Had a small group of girls today but it was nice. Got to see and hear from the girls their mile times from yesterday. Holy cow! We have speedy girls. I'm so excited for this season

Went for a run this morning with the girls. We met at 7 because Mia and Megan had all state orchestra. We ran up to green springs, it was me, Nicole, Liz, Megan Mia and Carli.So pretty good group! Meg and Carly turned around at the 5 and then the rest of us went another mile and started our tempo at the 5 mile mark on the way back. We were not very consistent. We got up to 6:10 on the downhill but slowed a bit after. Prolly averaged at about a 6:20 pace. It was a good tempo! We were just doing a 7 minute tempo on Wednesday so it will be harder to do these tempos but I think we just need to get used to going this fast. Both tempos this week I've finished out which is new for me! It's great :)
