3 easy miles with strides in the desert about ten minutes after I woke up. I went 6:56, which was probs a bit too quick for a shakeout. I'll do an easier paced run tomorrow. It was blazing hot, which in a way is good because I'm not great with racing in heat so running in it should help somewhat. My team XC camp is on the 3rd 4th and 5th, and on the final day we have a 2 miles race up a steep mountain. Conner Mckeachnie has the course record of 16:29. My goal is to break 15 on it.
9 miles that afternoon. It was supposed to be an easy run, but the average pace ended up being 6:50. It didn't feel hard to maintain or anything, but I suppose I should have taken an easier day more lightly.
