Rainy run through converse heights. Mile splits were mad inconsistent...I don't know. But averaged out to 7:59 per mile.

2 mile warm-up, then a quickie workout. We're just "sharpening up" at this point, as coach Harris says. 800, 2x400, 2x200. 800 was 2:51 I think, then 86, 82, 35, 36. Got the blood flowing, and then we were outta there. Cooled down a little.

Coach Harris is entering me into the 10k for conference (along with the 5k of course) in case I can score points if very few girls run it. So when the rankings come out Friday, we'll see if I'll be running it or scratching it!

Warmed up on the trails. 10x200 with a 200 jog at our leisure today, still just shaking out and sharpening up for this weekend. We gradually progressed from 44 to 39, really just striding out and focusing on form. Cooled down afterwards on the trails too. 

Shout out to my teammate and best friend, Breck, who made an account on here this week!!! Go check her out (link in my favorite blogs section!)

Suuuupa easy pre-meet shake-out and strides here at the track in Birmingham. The drive over wasn't as bad as it was for indoor season. We did Cracker Barrel for pre-meet dinner so....I guess there's a first for everything, just like the 10k I'm running tomorrow!

Well, first 10k. Definitely didn't go as well as I was wanting. I was shooting for sub-42, and I thought I might could even get sub-41. I wanted 6:40 pace and I averaged out to 6:56. But I don't know how fair it is to expect anything from a race you've never ran, so maybe I shouldn't beat myself up. First mile was good, 6:25. I was holding back, trying to make sure I didn't just instinctively go 5k pace. 2nd mile was a 6:50, which surprised me because I had thought I was still on pace. After that it just went downhill....5k split was like 21:30 which is just juvenile, and after that I was just trying to finish honestly. Didn't feel good at all. But I did finish, and I got the experience, and I'm glad for that. And on another positive note, I am betting this will make the 5k tomorrow seem so much shorter mentally. Hopefully my body will recover well and I can be there physically, too. Who cares if I just ran the 10k, this is my last race of my freshman year and I am ready to PR and beat some people.
