At XC we had a fun day, we warmed up and ran to Holt's house, then ran back to the school to play ultimate Frisbee for a while. I had to leave early to take Rachel home so she could get to work on time, but when I left our team was winning! Right when I got home, I set off on an actual run since there wasn't one at XC. Randomly had the urge to go longer today, so I set off on my bloomington/ manowar 8 miler. At first I meant to take it easy, but I decided about a mile into it to try and keep all my miles under 8:00. The first 6 miles were really good, I felt really strong and didn't have to push hard to keep my pace quicker, but the last 2 were a bit harder - esp. with the vermillion and bridge hills to worry about. I did keep them fast and ate some gnats while I was at it - avg. pace 7:40/mi. This run made me happy. : )
