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!

8 miles easy + 8x15 sec hill sprints. First hill sprints all summer seeing as there wasn't a hill I could find anywhere in Dyrtle besides the slight incline of a parking garage. Beautiful run again this morning, I'm way too happy to be running here again!

1 mile warm up, 60 minute up-tempo run, keeping it between 75-85% of race pace (7:40-7:02). Averaged 7:29, but quite honestly suffered through it. I was dying the whole last 25 minutes or so. I definitely slacked on a lot of these tempo runs this summer because it was so difficult for me to do them (unless I was inside on a treadmill) in Myrtle, and I can feel that now. I feel like a 60 minute tempo averaging 7:20 shouldn't be too much to ask right now. Gotta get it back. Half mile barefoot cool down afterwards & creek time.

AM- 7.2 miles easy. Drove to work with Mommy, then ran about 3 miles downtown before running the 4ish back to the house.

PM- 4.8 miles easy in Webster, bringing it to 12 for the day.

10 around Cullowhee. Started at Western then ran to CVS and got most of the miles there and 2 or 3 miles up Tilley creek and back. Heat of the day made me a bit lathargic, but still no where near as bad as even the mornings in Myrtle! I'm still so happy to be home in case you can't tell :)

7 nice & easy in Webster. Ran Buchanan Loop, then 2 and a half miles down North River Road and back. Did a lot of thinking on this run so it went by pretty fast, but I was zoned out the whole time so I really don't know how fast (or rather, how slow) I was going. Still working on getting things sorted out with the warranty on Genevieve, my broken GPS watch. Hopefully I'll get that on lockdown so I can start tracking my paces and exact mileage again.

5ish miles easy with KJ - a sort of jogging tour of Pelion! Lot's of cool trails, but the ground is made of like sand, not dirt, which was weird (Pelion isn't on the coast). Fun stuff though.
