The best pace is suicide pace

Aerobic run with 4x1 min pick-ups. We ran on the river trail and it was a really good run :) 60 min total

30 min easy run on the grass for the morning

First race! I did very well and at the same time vary bad. Let's start with the good; I ran with Jos and Jes for the first two laps and took turns leading with them and we pushed each other well! The bad; I totally fell off on the third lap and I let like 4 dh girls pass me. I finished 3rd on the team, 9th overall. I didn't finish strong at all, so lesson learned and I'm going to race smarter and stronger next time!! My workouts and runs after this are all ending strong too! The girls did good and s/o to Jos for winning!! She's a beast and Jes for getting up there also! Even though it wasn't a great race for our whole team, I'm sooo excited for the races to come and the hard work that comes with them! 45 min total

Recovery run out in Greensprings, 50 min total

Weights and no run cause it was stormy out :/

Today we did I hills! We started with 5 quick strikers then got right into the workout. We did 2 sets of 3x60 second hills. Packed like a FIST the whole time and it was great! Since I've been trying to finish stronger I gave a greater effort on the last 2. 55 min total

Weights and a short 15 min run before school

Drove to Renegade camp in Pine Valley where we set up at Robert's awesome cabin! For our afternoon run we hit the lower end of the minutes because of our run tomorrow. We went down a pretty big hill then flipped to go up! It was kinda hard but that's hills so ya. 45 min total

Also walked to the creepy haunted Brown house, then had one of the best (even though there was a numberless amount of bugs) bonding moments with the team ever where we shared our strengths and weaknesses :)

The BIG run: We ran up Pine Valley mountain!! We did the backward Indian run for almost all the way up and ran most of it haha. We took some breaks either drinking water, eating energy fruit snacks and Gu, taking pics, or picking the delicious raspberries we found! Closer to the top it felt more like a hike as it got steeper and steeper! Ellie and Maycee led this thing were we'd run for 10 steps then get a break to take a breather haha. Then we got to the top and saw the beautiful view that stretched on forever!!

The way down was an adventure. To start we walked till we knew we could start running without falling off the edge haha. I ran with Alli and Maycee for pretty much the whole way down and only stopped twice to pick some more rasberries haha. I also think I got a good amount of more freckles which I didn't think was possible but I was proved wrong! About 3 hrs of a really hard and really fun run!
