Long run Sunday! 12 miles averaging 8:02. Got down to 7:39 for mile 9, not sure what happened there haha, otherwise pretty smooth and consistent. Form drills and stretching afterwards, and Just Dance with the fam when I got home to shake out my stiffness a bit :)

Ran from my house down to the high school and around, then around Ashe Loop and up around Fairview, and then back around the high school and up to my house. 8:13 average, nice recovery run, albeit lots of tough hills in there that got me breathing. Light core afterwards.

AM- 1.6 warm up around campus. 25x200m at mile pace, or 42-43ish. I hit 41-42 for all but 3, which were a 43, a 40, and a 39. It went by much faster than I expected! 25 is a lot of reps for anything so I imagined I would get really bored, but breaking it up mentally into 5 sets of 5 200's made it easier to feel like I was making progress. I felt strong and ran consistent, happy with it! 1.55 cool down. 

I went to the Rec afterwards and lifted, then did core and stretched. Productive morning.

PM- 2.1 miles quick & easy shakeout before a Star Wars marathon with my friends!!

Ran with Caleb today on campus at Western! I was planning on 7-8 miles but we ended up a bit short because of time restraints. Oh well. I didn't feel very good today, I guess I'm a bit sore from weights yesterday but that's in order. 8:16 average.

7 mile steady-state run throughout Cullowhee. 7:32 average. I did a mile warm up and cool down on the track as well. It was absolutely flooding! The track (which is elevated up probably 10 feet from the river, 20 or so meters away) was about to be submerged. All bridges were closed and it was just totally pouring the whole time. I don't mind running in the rain though. Effort level felt closer to 7 flat than 7:30, but I was shooting for 7:30-7:40 so whatever the effort it all worked out.

Also....Christmas Eve!!!!!!!!!!!

Intended to do 8 miles buuuut about a mile and a half from home all the sudden it started thunderstorming and I had my phone on me playing music and could hear it starting to short circuit, so I had to get out of the rain. Awkwardly huddled on some rando's porch hahaha. My mom came and picked me up. Merry Christmas!!

2.5 warm up, then 12 x 1 min on, 1 min off. The on's were probably 6:15 pace or so, the off's were regular recovery run pace, so probably 8-8:15 pace. Averaged 7:19, not that average is really the point in a fartlek. Cooled down to 8 miles.
