Morning run, .5 warmup then AC like always. Judd and Green came out to run, too, but after warming up, they thought I left so they left w/o me, so I left a couple minutes after them. Ran great pace out, just smooth and fast, then I saw how far (about 1/4 mile or so) ahead they were when I got to the turnaround, so I kicked it in to try and catch them. Surprisingly, I caught them in about 3/4 of a mile, it was fun! So then I slowed it up and ran easy easy the rest of the way back for the heck of it. We had a party day at afternoon practice, ran a lap warmup and stretched, then played duck-duck-goose, freeze tag, follow the leader and such. Then we ate otter pops! Someone randomly asked me to run the 'mile' leg (really a bit over 3/4) of the "Great Race" at DSC for the X-Club Alumni Team. So I did it, went there and warmed up about a mile, then ran the race, I was running against mostly male persons because it's a co-ed relay and most teams want fast starts and boys are generally faster than girls. I did come in all right place-wise, probably somewhere in the middle of the 18 teams coming in. I must've given them an ok start, since we ended up getting 4th place, which isn't too bad for a team put together in an afternoon. It was a lot of down hill, which my knees didn't agree with much, but it was mostly fun stuff.
