Started back weights today! This past week off has been so, so nice. I had SO much homework and stuff due, it was so clutch to have the extra time that I would have been practicing.

1 mile warm up, 35 minute progression run (4.65 miles) fairly easy between like 8:30 and 7 flat or maybe high 6's, averaging out to 7:45/mile, and then a mile cool down. It was about 30 degrees out but once we got our warm up in, I felt fantastic actually!

Sigma Nu fall house weekend! It was pretty hard to motivate myself to get up and run but somehow it worked out. Ran 6 miles of mostly dirt trail, up down up down up down. Freezing but beautiful out.

Welllp Sigma Nu fall house weekend up in Tennessee was fun. Time to get back to Wofford-mode though! 40-45 minutes in the pouring, cold rain was a bit of a harsh welcome back, but it ended up being pretty fun.

35 minutes recovery run. Harder than it should have been, at a 7:54 avg pace, but oh well, it felt good. Weights afterwards.

40 minute progression run at Milliken Park! We literally had the perfect progression run today. Finished at exactly 5.00 miles, exactly 8:00 avg pace, having started at exactly 9min pace and finishing at 7min pace. I'm still just amazed how spot on that was. It was great running weather as well and my legs felt good, arms still a little sore from the past 2 weeks worth of harder weights sessions.

I finally get to go home later today for thanksgiving break!! I can't wait to be with my family!

40 minute run back home at Western. First 2.5ish miles were with my sister and dad, at about an 8:50 pace. After they stopped I picked it up to about 7:50 till I finished. 6x100m hill sprints afterwards and a jog back to the car. It is soooo good to be home

AM - 30 min very easy around Ashe Loop and the high school. 8:31 avg pace. Only 2.63 miles, but got some good hills in there too. Ab workout afterwords.

PM - 35 min moderate at Western. 7:49 avg pace. Came out to 4.54 miles. First 2.7 were with my sister, which was fun. Moderate felt easy, which was good! Only problem was that I was a dummy and didn't wear gloves...I thought I was getting frostbite, seriously.

Drove back down to Gardner Webb with Katie this morning, then went ahead and ran on campus when we got to her apartment. 35 minutes. My watch said I averaged 7:41...but I feel like I was going so much slower than that. Never really quite got comfortable.

70 minute easy-moderate run with last 10 being at a controlled hard effort. Averaged 8:20/mile by my watch, with the last 10 min at about 7:25-35. Several of my teammates were having some aches and pains in their calves and such, but I felt great today! Much better than yesterday. I was coasting for the majority of the run. Good to be back at Wofford.
