I just started college and am a little lost without my xc and track from high school!  But I'm beginning to breach the long-distance scene, which is fantastic!

The time has come to count cross-training as miles.

I did 10 miles in the morning, I biked 4ish miles from my house up to the U and back, and I ran 5 miles in the evening.  The outside of my quad (IT?) had a big knot in it after my evening run, so I massaged it out, but now it is sore.  Also I got a side ache during my evening run, and I think the culprit is eating too much popcorn last Saturday!  So I will have to use more restraint in the future.

Also, I think this might be my longest blog entry...ever.

Fartlek, we did a ladder.  I did two extra miles of cooldown, and my legs feel pretty good.

So, I went under 1:40, which was pretty much the goal for today.  I was the second woman to finish, but based on chip time I was third.  I am happy with my race anyway, there was nothing I could've done to know her time would be faster than mine when she started behind me and finished after I did.

My race went well, my quads started to feel it around mile 6, but I was able to continue pushing.  The first place woman got away from me around mile 4, and she was out of sight until about mile 10, where I started to catch up but was too far behind to really have a chance.  So, I guess that is just a lesson about sticking with someone.  After the race, I cooled down with RJ.

Also, the mile markers were off again this year.
