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!

Easy 7 out past Converse on East St. John's + 10x20 sec strides afterwards. I felt so good! I definitely think taking Monday off was a good idea. Did my core and stretched after that.

Short little tempo on the lower fields today. 25 minutes at ~6:45 pace. I basically did this by myself, because it was really just Mell and I, but she was 20 or 30 meters ahead of me for the first 5 loops, and then she stopped because of her asthma or something. But I finished it out to 25 and it felt challenging, but not unmanageable.

Weights later. Our new weights coaches are paying a lot more attention to us now and walking us through each set, which is kind of cool. At least I actually know now whether or not I am doing the exercises right.

AM- 5 miles at Milliken with Mell & Morgan, broken up into about 3 miles out, half a mile of hill sprints, then a mile and a half back. 8:17 avg not including the hill sprints. It started pouring the rain on us during this, which I loved, but Stefani (my car) on the way back did not. Core & stretching during my p.e. class afterwards.

PM- 5 miles on the treadmill. Started at 8:30 and steadily dropped to 7:50 last mile. Wasn't a progression run or anything, I just really wanted to get off as soon as I could because...treadmill.

Ran at Milliken with Breck. Well, Breck rode her bike next to me while I ran to keep me company. Shouts out to her for doing that actually, because I know it would have been a lot easier for her to just stay at Wofford and do the eliptical. 8:01 avg pace for 9 miles, pretty consistent except a 7:45 last mile. 

Also, I have been doing so much better about my eating habits the last 3 days! I know that's just 3 days and it means nothing in the scheme of things but thats a longer streak than my usual "hey I'm gonna start eating better" tangents last. Gonna keep working on it this weekend, eventually it'll hopefully be habitual!

A handfull of my teammates and I are staying in Asheville for the weekend for the SoCon tournament at one of the boys' family's second house. So we went on our run on the mountain today, which was honestly lowkey terrible because we were at the very top, so its like wherever you went, you were either going straight down or straight back up. But on the upside it was a beautiful day & Wofford won our first game!!
