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- weights and core.

PM- Good workout today! I picked my little sister up from school (still in school, HA. perks of college...long Christmas breaks!) with her bike in the trunk and a change of clothes and told her we're going on an adventure. Drove all the way to Maggie Valley to Lake Junaleska for a little fartlek fun. Abby rode her bike next to me while I ran, which was a lot more fun than solo, even though I wasn't talking for most of it. So the workout was 15 minute WU, & 12 minute CD, and 10x[2 min hard, 1 min easy] in between. Hard sections were supposed to be 6:40-6:45 pace, easy sections "relaxed" but not a walk in the park, so maybe 8min pace. I think I did well with those paces for the most part, varying with hills. Mile splits, not that it matters, were 7:06/7:12/7:24/7:16. Had fun with it and took some fun pictures at the big lit-up cross afterwards.

I know all those places! Beautiful country. Makes me homesick for my 20 years in Greenville.
