Fantastic last run at home before I move in tomorrow! Ran my 3ish mile loop downtown, but threw in every detour I could and turned it into 8, then added on at the end till 10ish. Felt great, and explored a few new roads! Super excited to be back at Wofford though.

Weird run today because Coach Bomar wasn't there, so he had the tennis coach come babysit us. We ran 5 miles, then the coach suggested we do mile repeats basically, and we didn't want to be disobedient...but Bomar didn't tell him to tell us that, and we had a time trial the next day. So we did one, but only one. Kind of just at tempo. Random. Strides, stretching, and abs afterwards.

AM- time trial day! Mile warm up, strides, 2 mile time trial, mile cool down. I ran a 13:10 and placed 4th on our team. I know 13:10 is a sucky 2-mile but Anya, our #1, only ran a 12:43, so it's really just a slow 2 grass miles of rolling hills. I know we put in work this summer. But I am excited to get into a little more speed stuff, running fast felt really strange. Fast being...sub-7 pace. Lol. Muscles got used to nice long slow miles this summer. I know I have a good base in though, so now we can effectively get into more workouts. Special shoutout to Jamie who showed up and showed out today!

PM- 20 minute tempo run on the lower fields. Averaged about 7 flat. It was really hot, but Jamie ran right with me and that helped a lot, because I usually find myself in no-mans-land during workouts on the lower fields. Warmed up and cooled down around campus. Abs afterwards.

AM- 1.75 mile warmup, then a fartlek on the lower fields. 2 continuous sets of 8x(30sec hard + 90 sec easy) with a 2 and a half minute easy in between the 2 sets. Averaged about 7:41, totaling out to 4.45 miles. Felt fine. I need to learn to open my stride more. Just under a mile cool down.

PM- 4 mile shake out to/on rail trail and back with the biddies. I love my team.
