Today at cross country practice we met at liberty park. Since I had to put my phone in Amanda's car we were late getting to the group so everyone started in front of us. We were able to catch up to almost half of the people including some of the experienced people. So we did a lap warm up and that was it. Then we jogged over to the hill by the pond. We did 6 of running up the hill around some pole then back up the hill and that was one. We did that 6 times but I think Taylor and Tomy counted wrong so I actually think we did 7 but oh well. Then we were at 3 miles. So the advanced group was supposed to go and finish out to 7 miles. So as the newbies went right the advanced went left so we would cross them. While I was running I realized I was already at 16 miles and I need 35, I don't want to do too much one day and have to only do like 4 the rest of the week. So instead of doing 7 miles I did 6. During the hills my goal was to be in the top people to make sure I am still on Varsity, I finished right behind Natalie. In the third boy position. That made me feel really good. So for the cooldown Sarah and I went running through the sprinklers first and then noticed everyone was gone so we went on the cool down. We did 2 laps on the trail thing in the park. We caught up with Amanda and Abigail and they were like 70 meters ahead of us. At the drinking fountain we stopped and got water. Then we finished out the mileage with Abigail and again Amanda was like 50 meters ahead of us and we also caught her again. Overall my legs felt really good today, except during the hills I felt incredibly sick like I was going to puke but that is probably from I haven't done hills in a long long time. But on the last lap of the cool down my lower back and hips were a little sore but thats because of tiredness I think. Overall a pretty good day.

Dear Patrik, 3rd boy was my place until you came. I may have to kill you :P Or just try harder. hahaha, no, trying to keep up with you on the hills was good for me, so many thanks!

Oh thanks. It was hard to try to keep ahead of you. We'll have a good team if we continue to work as hard as we have been.
