The best pace is a suicide pace

Today was my first day after Ragnar. Took a week off for my knee. Mile warmup followed by a six mile run. It was also the first day of team practice, which meant a lot of new people. Started with a fairly large pack, going pretty slow the first four miles. We sped it up for the last two miles and dropped a lot of our teammates. The last mile or so was jut me, Clayton, and Nathan. S/O to Nathan for having graduated, but still coming to practice. #supersenior. The knee hurt pretty bad still, but was bearable, and getting better. Rolled it out after a short cool down.

Took a few days off because waking up early in the morning is hard. Mile warmup today, followed by core. The issue is that these morning practices are a small group of mostly girls on the days when the coaches aren't there. There were only two other guys there today, so the core we did had a large focus on hips, which was sort of weird. 2 miles at about 12:00 pace with finishes after. Sat and talked for about an hour and a half. Fought off the urge to get donuts

Another morning with the girls. Mile warmup, 5 mile distance run. Went really slow, about 10:00 miles. I could have gone faster, but I brought my little sister today, and she was hurting. I hung back with her and McKenna, who was having some probably show related issues. The knee felt better today, I think it's healing.
