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!

1.75 mile warm up to the big hill by starbucks. 9x45sec (~150 meters) hill sprints with a jog back down for recovery. Cooled down a little over a mile to total 5. Abs afterwards.

I feel like I have such a harder time on hills than most of my teammates :( girls I have much faster times than can smoke me on a hill, and I am the one with the advantage of being from the mountains. I am 90% sure it's because I am just thicker and heavier than most of them, and that really comes into play when gravity is working against you. Hopefully I'll lose some weight this year.

1.3 mile warm up, then fartlek of 2x8(35 sec hard, 85 sec easy) with 2:25 in between. Came out to 3.9 miles. Felt smooth and good, very thankful we did the workout in the morning and not midday. Mile cool down + abs afterwards.

15 minute tempo run at 7 flat pace. Felt lathargic in the heat of the day anyways, but still felt too short to be beneficial. Not very satisfied with this workout. 

Did 2 miles on the elliptical and lifted later at night.

13 at Milliken Park. Felt great! Thankful for a little bit of mileage, finally. I miss 65 mile weeks, I don't like this whole lower-mileage deal. I definitely train best via mileage.
