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!

Actually ran today! On the treadmill anyways. 2% incline to mimic outdoor effort. I started out real easy, like over 9min pace, and over the course of the first mile and a half as my leg warmed up a little I worked my way down steadily to 8:20. Hung out there for a while and then felt good enough to drop it down to 8 for the last mile. Cardiovascularly I'm totally fine still, I just don't want to rush things too much and keep making my leg worse. It hurt again after I cooled down a bit and walked back up to my room.

Elliptical again today. 5 minute warm up, then 10x2min hard, 1 min recovery, then 5 min cool down. Except I extended the final 2min hard to 3min hard, just cause. Felt good and strong. I tried to keep my strides per minute over 210, and my recovery over 190. My watch tells me on most actual runs I do like 196-200 strides per minute. So since I can't lengthen my stride to speed up on an elliptical, I have to go off strides per minute. 210+ feels like a hard, fast pace, and 190 feels like jogging.
