15min warm then 4x100 strides and 1200,1600,1200,1600 @

8K pace w/4 min rec, cool to time. decent workout today. Times

were a little slow. I was supposed to be at just under 5 for the

1200. And 6:40 for the 1600. I mostly ran with Caroline the first 2.

Then I ran with Jessica the 3rd, and the last by myself. It was hot

as day at that discusting park! I just about sweated to death. It

was so humid. 7.5ish miles//65 minutes 

 

25 minutes easy at camp! It was legendary. 2.5

60 minutes//6ish miles. So we ran down this real real long hill for 15 minutes. I twisted my ankle again it hurt real bad, then I got over it and kept going. We had a hill workout. 2 sets of 3x80 second hills. I led the first 1. Then I pushed from the back on next 3. It felt good! The 5th one I got to lead again, so that felt good. The last one I went all out and it felt so good! Best hill for last :) I <3 hills and running 

Then we did skits. They were pretty funny

61 minutes//7.2 miles good medium run down the river trail. Me and Caroline and Rylee somehow are blonde, and didn't do the first pickup. So we did it after everyone else. I felt pretty good, but a little tired. I kinda fell a little behind before the first pickup. Hence the reason I missed it. 

15 minutes//1.65 miles. Good easy run with ell.

30 minutes//3.25 miles. Very eventful run. Little Sarah broke her arm, and we went pretty chill so that felt nice. 8 short striders 

45 minutes//4.35  very short warmup. Not enough. we didn't take into consideration that girls always have to pee before a race. I never got nervous for this race so that was good. And we got to the line and I just felt good! We started solid, but not too fast and worked up. We had a decent pack the first lap, and got a little smaller as we went. We did pretty well, but have lots of improvement :) real good start to the year! Our team is the best :) 19:14 was my time. Pretty similar to last year I believe.

i20+ warm cuz we did so many darn strides waiting for the race to start. We sang lots too so that was fun. Really calmed my nerves. We started and I wanted a decent position, but I didn't wanna go out wayyy to fast, after the first lap I got up with ry and Jess so that was good. Stayed with em until going up the last, long hill and started to fall off a little (that hill is a killer even though it seriously looks like nothing) I was starting to give up in my head a little at the last, but I forced myself that I was gonna get Mic by the end, and I didn't even let myself give up. I passed her!! And that was a miracle in itself, cuz I kicked!!  I think if I didn't yell at my head to go and get her, trinity woulda came and got me and we woulda tied with the hells, but we edged em out this time!! 54-52 so that was also pretty swell! First team win of the season! 3rd on the team 4th overall. 18:49 was the time which made my day cuz I haven't been under 19 since sophomore year so that is DOPE! 

Also, shout out to Caroline for going the wrong way, turning around and still winning the JV race. That takes some serious talent.  Also to Jess cuz she is a beast
