Opened today up around 10:15am with the 4x800! We were ranked 8th out of 9 I believe, but only 6 teams showed and we ended up 4th. So I was proud of them for that. I have no clue what my split was but I felt really strong!! It was a good warm up if nothing else.

My 2 mile wasn't untill about 4:50, so needless to say I had lots of down time today. Luckily I brought my Eno so I spent most of the day hammocking underneath the bleachers in the shade so the sun wouldn't wear me out. Warmed up a mile with Shawnda Martin. My gameplan for today was to run a fast 1st mile to bank some time for when I get tired on laps 5 and 6. It worked out pretty well I think - I usually run like a 6:10ish mile split and today I hit 6:03. I think I slowed a lot on the 5th but I know I had a really good last lap. I didn't have anyone anywhere near me the entire race, but competing for the clock gave me some solid motivation. Came out in 3rd, after this little prodigee from East Lincoln and Shawnda, with a 12:23. That wasn't a PR but it was an SB, which I was happy enough with considering the heat. Mile cool down afterwards. 

Later we went through Wofford because we were so close anyways and I wanted to stop and look at the track again. We got there and I realized today was the Terrier Relays!! Super lucky coincidence! It was so fun to end the day catching up with all my college friends from WCU and Wofford. Coach Bomar is going to send me my National Letter of Intent soon so I can go ahead and sign. I can't wait!!
