I woke up at about 7:10 and got up and drank some water, and went back to bed until 7:45. I ran down to the high school from my house which is about 1.1 miles. The XC workout was the Sunrise/Foremaster run, as I like to call it. I started out with Wood, RJ, and Baker, and they all had a lot of ground on me after 1 1/2 miles. Wood kept on going to do the Chuck-a-Rama run. I caught Baker at the top of the sunrise hill, he was dying. I was behind RJ by about 30 seconds for a long while. I caught up to and passed RJ with about a mile to go. I finished pretty strong considering the heat! It was a really good "rebound" run from my last race. It was one of my best runs of the summer.
7.2 miles: 53.15=7.23/mile
Afternoon Practice- I ran down to the high school from my house again, I count this mile in my overall distances because I usually run it pretty fast. For the "2 1/2 mile middle school run" I ran with coach pretty much the whole time. He taught me how to correct my form, so I can keep working on it. I was getting dehydrated by the minute during this run, but still ran a decent relaxed run. I walked half of the mile home and ran the last. Distance for this run: 1 mile down to school + 2 1/2 run + half mile run home= 4 miles.
