Okay.. so this just made my day. I didn't get my time after the time trial. I know it ended in 37 though. So I tried to just put 37 seconds. But it gave me this message:

According to your data, you ran faster than Usain Bolt in his 200 meter world record. This is highly unlikely. Double check your time and distance. If you really did run faster than Usain Bolt, please use the Feedback Forum to report your success.

I was tempted to use the Feedback Forum, so they would think I was really cool. But I decided honesty is the best policy, and made up my time instead. So please note that the time listed above may or may not be real.

Anyway.. this was really supposed to be about the time trial. It was very quite hot outside and I was very quite tired from having just come from soccer practice. I kept expecting Stoner to catch me on the hill. My mouth was severely dry and tasted like Tricuits. And whenever I went through the sprinkler, I had a moment of temporary panic where I couldn't breathe. And the grass out past the softball field is bumpy and squishy and terrible for running. So.. it didn't feel amazing, but I guess I did okay for having just been playing soccer. And the heat and terrible running conditions. So.. yes.

5 miles with Roberts, Frida, Kaylee, Mia, and Stoner. We had a pretty good pace going, I thought anyway. We ran past the smelly dead cat. And that's pretty much it. We don't do much talking in the mornings.

So.. after a VERY long night, I get a text from Rachel that says I have to come run in the morning. So I drag myself out of bed at 7 am and get over to the school (I was one of the first people there, I'll have you know!!). When the bus dropped us off, I almost cried. It was sooo far away from the meet! But, I sucked it up and we ran. And ran. And ran. Up. And up. And up. The hill was HUGE. But, at the worst part the guys ended up running with us and they were messing around with whatever they found on the road and it kinda distracted me from the uphilliness. So that was okay. Then we went down the hill and a very nice lady at the gas station gave us some water. Then we finished up the run and watched the meet (everyone did GREAT, by the way!)
