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!

5 miles around campus with Joseph! Probably about a 7:30-40 pace. He is staying with me for the weekend so it was really nice that I had someone to run with for once!

Did my run right in the heat of the day, which was a big mistake of course. Had to stop a few times because my lower calves were so tight. It hurt to even stretch them, and then when I tried to massage them they were so tight they felt like metal.

Crossfit workout afterwards really kicked my butt! Warmup of 10 pullups, 10 situps, 10 airsquats. Workout was 3 rounds of 100 jump-rope jumps + 15 hang cleans....5 minute rest...3 rounds of 30 sit-ups + 10 pushups...5 minute rest....3 rounds of 20 backsquats + 20 handstand pushups. The handstand pushups killed me having already done all the other arm stuff. Upper body is just not my forte. Typical distance runner probs I guess!

Worked from 5:30am-8pm today, so when my 5 mile run afterwards felt so good that I threw in another mile just because, you can imagine I was incredibly pleasantly surprised at how not tired I was haha! Plus, it was at a really solid pace. Probably about 7:20-30 avg for the 6 miles. 2 things I love are early morning runs and late night runs, and this is why! I don't think I've ever ran really early in the morning or really late at night and not had a good run. Praising God for this awesome ability/sport tonight.

2 mile warm up, 10x30 second hill sprints with 90 sec jog in between, mile cool down. I made that 11x30sec repeats actually. This was our first structured workout of the summer! I feel pretty good about it. I'm going camping tonight so I probably won't get my long run in tomorrow until nighttime unless we leave really early!

7 miles easy throughout Cullowhee. I'd guess about a 7:45 pace average. I felt great, felt like I ran really smoothly. 6 20/40's afterwards (20 sec hard, 40 easy) barefoot on the infield at the track.

Orientation is tomorrow!! I'm hoping to get my run in on campus sometime in the evening, maybe even with one of my older teammates who is down there already. I can't wait!

5 miles easy on campus at Wofford with one of my new teammates, Stacey, after orientation! Really easy conversation pace, kind of exploring around campus. Man I can't wait to move in!!

After the run I had to go get my physical, so I just ran back to our hotel after that.
