Today since it is Saturday we don't have cross country practice. So since I only had to do 2.5 miles today I decided to take my garmin out and measure the loop that I have been thinking is 2.5 miles. I was pretty close for just guessing, it was 2 exactly to my house which I thought was really weird. So when I got back to my house I had to do a half mile more so I stopped and changed the song that I was listening to on my Ipod because it was a horrible song and I put on my favorite Lady Gaga song, The Edge of Glory. My goal was to finish the last half mile before the song ended which I did. But during the run it felt like I was going really fast but in fact I wasn't, I wasn't going that fast because I went during the heat of the day, not a good idea. When I was done with the run I did my crunches, bicycle crunches instead of leg lifts today, push ups, calf raises, and then the quad strengthening machine. My run was good because it was in the heat of the day and I need to get back into running in that again and I was trying to stay on my toes the entire time. I almost did it. I had to stop running on my toes for one block then I got back up on my toes again and that really pushed the speed I thought.
