Personal:

I currently run for Wofford College in South Carolina, where I double major in biology and Spanish. I will be spending 5 months studying abroad in Chile in 2017. I love cookie dough a little too much and spend most of my free time outside or asleep (or both). Living & running to know Christ and to make Him known!

AM- 1.6 warm up around campus. 25x200m at mile pace, or 42-43ish. I hit 41-42 for all but 3, which were a 43, a 40, and a 39. It went by much faster than I expected! 25 is a lot of reps for anything so I imagined I would get really bored, but breaking it up mentally into 5 sets of 5 200's made it easier to feel like I was making progress. I felt strong and ran consistent, happy with it! 1.55 cool down. 

I went to the Rec afterwards and lifted, then did core and stretched. Productive morning.

PM- 2.1 miles quick & easy shakeout before a Star Wars marathon with my friends!!
