| | 3 mile tempo run with a 1.25 mile warmup and cool down. I usually do my tempos on this half mile loop walking path at the rec center so that I can measure it confidently, but today I wanted to change it up. I ran down and back this beautiful back road along the river that is (conveniently) 1.5 miles long. Given that, I don't know my exact mile splits, but my final time was 21:41, so they were probably spread out in the 6:50-7:30 range. Regardless, it was 65 and sunny, so it was quite a beautiful day that The Lord created and I enjoyed my run!!

| | Christmas Eve! Today I went out with Taylor for a little cross-training via mountain bike. We biked a super hilly trail on the mountain overlooking WCU, my first time ever actually biking a trail. Then we came out down on campus and biked a loop around campus and went back up to where we started. All together I think it was about 5 miles (plus a little warm up jog I did). My quads feel like iron, I am going to be so sore tomorrow. I don't get sore much anymore from running, but any time I cross train I feel so out of shape. My muscles are so conditioned to running, but not to anything else! I think biking is good for my overall fitness, even if it doesn't necessarily make me a faster runner. Taylor and I had fun with it though!

| | 5 miler around Buchanan loop (hill work). I could definitely feel that it was the day after Christmas. I got side stitches like crazy and I just felt really lathargic. But my pace wasn't too bad considering that, and the hills (7:38 avg per mile). Afterwards I did some ab work.

| | 6 miles easy around town. I felt great until the last mile and then I started feeling those side stitches again. I think I really need to start hydrating better.

| | Today was a rough one. I had my signature workout planned for today - 12x400 with 2 mi warm up/cool down. But I hadn't accounted for my staying up as late as I did last night. I literally got to sleep around 4:30am, and ended up with a grand total of about 3 hours of sleep. Needless to say, I was completely lifeless even during my warmup, so I decided there was no way I was going to be able to do this workout effectively. So I just did 3 miles easy, then 2 quick 400's all out with a full recovery, then a half mile cool down. Excuse me now while I go nap the rest of my day away.
