First run in my Pegasus'! Loved them! Workout wasn't great, mostly just because I had to stop and go to the bathroom right in the middle of it, which always annoys me because it's like I might just as well have takena random break to stop and walk or something. Anyways, fartlek workout of 20 minutes warm up + 3x10min hard/5min easy. Went about 7:05-7:10 on the 10 minute hard sections, and just recovered nice and easy on the easy ones. Felt like I got a pretty good workout in. I'll probably mess around a little and do some pool exercises later too when we get back from the beach.

10 miles on the beach at 8:00 average. Felt great for the first 7 miles or so and then I started to get pretty toasty...but finished it out. I think before today, 8 miles was the furthest I've ever ran on the beach (not a big fan of beach running). Gains, woohoooo!

6 + pool workout and body circuit. Feeling really strong & fit today. I feel like all of my pool workouts and circuits this summer have strengthened a lot of supporting muscles that will help prevent injury in these coming weeks when my mileage climbs up to 70 from here on out. Can't wait to get back to Wofford with my team and really kick off the season!

15 mile bike ride in the sand on the beach with my dad! Isn't the conversion for bike-to-run effort type thing like 1 mile ran for every 2 miles biked? Not sure, but I'm just gonna log 7.5 for today.

10 miles at 8:05 average. Last mile was solid, 7:47. I felt great and wished I could have gone a few miles further, but ran out of time and had to get back to leave for our kayaking trip. Kayaked 3ish miles today through the wetlands.
