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!

Very strange workout today....so after a 15 hour work day (got a code 6 from school!), mentally exhausted was an understatement. I finally got to the track around 9:30 and it was already really dark. After I warmed up, a man started walking on the track with his hands behind his back carrying something that the only light on the track would shine off of. Not trying to be dramatic at all but I am like 90% sure it was a blade. So I called Will and asked him to come down (he was in the dorm right across the street) and hang around while I did my workout just to be safe. So anyways I did 4x200 with a 200m jog in between, 3x800, 2x400m. First set was supposed to be 44's, I hit 42, 43, 42, 42. 2nd set was supposed to be mile race pace, or 2:45, but I had a really had time with that, and hit all 3 2:54's. 400's were supposed to be 78-80, and I hit 77, 79. Obviously I am disappointed in my 800's....but I really feel like I worked very hard on them. But then I was pleasantly surprised with the 400's. So then I was supposed to do a 10-15 minute cool down but mine ended up being like 4 and a half because the man freaked me out so bad by standing there on the bleachers - no one else around - watching me. Will had left right before my cool down aynyways so needless to say I wanted out of there.
