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!

Easy 6 miles on the bike paths here at the beach. Good run. Did lots of treading, aquajogging, and wall kicks in the pool later.

Another easy 6 on the beach this morning. Man I am not used to the humidity here, I'm sweating gallons! But this should help acclimate me for the heat in Spartanburg anyways.

Good workout today! 2 mile warm-up to the beach, then 28 minute fartlek run on the beach, and a cool down back to the condo. Fartlek consisted of 2x30sec/2x60sec/1x2min/1x4min and then back down the ladder, all on equal recovery time. I felt really good during these and was really enjoying the first beautiful morning (not rainy) of the week!

Did a few swimming drills in the pool this afternoon.

Nice and easy long(ish) run on the beach at sunrise! 8:10 pace I'd say. I mixed in six 20/40s (20 sec hard/40 easy) torwards the end to wake up my legs. Anyways, the sunset and just the whole beach this morning was absolutely awe-inspiring. So so beautiful! We are sinful, unworthy, disobedient beings and God did not have to make the world we live in so beautiful, but he did anyways because that's just how much he still loves us in all of our mess. And THAT is awesome.

As usual, mixed in some swimming drills in the pool later.

Woke up and biked 65-70 minutes with my (new!) teammate Ciara, who lives here on the island where I'm vacationing. Pretty good pace, especially for the portion of it that we did on the sand. I guess I'll log that as half of the miles if you translate it to running. I had 6 miles to run today, but I felt I got a decent workout in from the probably 10-12 miles we biked, so I only added a mile and a half jog barefoot.

Did a few swimming drills at the pool later.

Ran around the bike paths today. Had to stop to find a bathroom. What's new. Biked 6 miles afterwards!
