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!

AM- 1.1 mile warm up & cool down. Workout was 2 x (800, 600, 800, 600) at race pace. Hit mostly around 3:10 for 800's, 2:20 for 600's. My hamstring hurt a bit but I did okay, not great. Not sure the hammy had anything to do with that though. It was 33 out though, which felt great! Happy to have a little cold.

PM- 3 mile shakeout. 8:04 avg.

AM- 4x1000m targetting 6min mile pace (3:42) for the front group. I am just off the front group so I tried to stay close to 3:42 but of course I was a tad bit off that. I hit 3:48, 3:50, 3:49, 3:49. I feel good about it though, I stayed mentally awake throughout all of them, which is something I'm trying to work on. I get too comfortable too often.

PM- 3.7 mile easy shakeout between classes. Everyone always looks at me like I am an alien when I, the cross country runner, come to class sweaty in running clothes. Lol.

10 miles for a medium-long run with Mell at Milliken/Upstate! 8:24 average. Felt good, although I was just super hungry. Or as we refer to it - Rungry. 

We got the first and last 2-2.5 miles in on the course, so almost half of the run on grass, which was good. I want to practice on grass as much as we can this coming week to gear up for the course at conference!
