am: 12. woke up at 7 and ran with salem hills XC team. there nice people. there #1 and #2 kids were gone so i ran with there #3. they dont run as a team like us. me and mincen (sophmore) ran 6 out to this pole by the mountian. they also had to throw in about 6 100meter fartlicks that i did with them. they were fun. after we finished it i turned around and did the same run again by myself. my watch was pretty dead so i only turned it on for the 3 mile tempo on the way back but it died at mile 2. i'm not sure if this was a full 12 but it was prolly pretty close. i know i did the full 3 mile tempo though. mile1 tempo was 5:56. i felt very heavy on my feet the whole time. mile 2 5:46, still feeling tired but it was downhill so i felt good. got back and still needed 3/4 a mile so did 3 laps i think my 3rd mile was around 5:30. it was fun running with their team. and i'll do it tomorrow. glad to get the 12 done though :) streching and drills after pm: 3.. very very hard. i thought i would take this run easy and pretty much.. there was no way to make it easy. i'm up in salem where there is hills everywhere at 6000ft. i went out a mile and a half and climbed 100 ft in .5 mile. it was 25% grade! on the way down hilll i had to zig zag to keep from sprinting! i was going around 14 min pace uphill but i was at least in jogging motion :)
