"Train insane or remain the same."

Grass ran at Highland Heritage park. I did a few variations of a one mile loop, it felt really good to grass run and my IT Band hasn't hurt at all. I had a bit of a ssideache about halfway through my run, but it went away pretty quick so that was good. I held a 8:16min/mile average pace. Now I'm headed up to camp so I'm excited to hit a sick trail!

First off I slept in my hammock last night, and it was totally sick even if it was rainy :) Today's workout was whistle hills-I did two sets of 15-20-25 and one set of 20-25-30 up the road/hill just above Tibble Fork. Then I finished up my run on surrounding trails. The higher altitude and bumpy trail made things pretty slow going, but I thoroughly enjoyed my run today for sure!

Easy distance run today. I ran to the cemetery and did the 1.5mile grass loop there. Then we lifted weights after. Tomorrow's another tempo run, same pace as last time. The plan is to be able to hold on for a quarter mile longer than last time, so wish me luck!

Did another tempo run today. Our goal pace was 6:45-6:59min/mile. We went for 2.5miles with a commitment point of 2miles (where we all stay together as a group) and held a 6:51 first mile and 7:01 second mile which averages out to the right pace. Alexis was our set leader and she did a fantastic job pacing us. My goal from the last tempo run was to be able to hold with the group for .25 longer than last week, which I achieved! overall it was a good run and I'm super excited for the season. Also shout out to my sister for getting married yesterday and Ellie Struthers getting married today!
