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 mile warm up, just over 6 miles, gradually speeding up from about 8 minute pace during the first mile to about 6:50 pace by the last mile. It was a very hilly 6 miles. I took on every hill I saw within a 3 mile radius of campus, so my calves are really tight and tired. Other than that, I felt good!

Today was our 1st mile repeats day of the season (yay...?)! To be honest, I despise mile repeats more than any other workout. But we only did 3 today, and they weren't all that fast now that I think about it, so I didn't mind them so much today. My goal was to be sub-7 and get faster on each one. I hit 7:02, 6:42, 6:37, with 2 and half minutes of walking between each one. 1.3 mile warm up and 1.8ish mile cool down. Lifted afterwards, then stretched.

.8 mile warm up, 3 miles moderately paced, 8x100m strides, .5 mile cool down. Muscles were a little tight today. They really only started to feel loose during my cool down. Thank goodness I am missing my meet tomorrow, I am not at all mentally prepared for it!

Went to Greensboro to watch the 4th round of state playoffs today so I didn't get a run in, but I did a full body circuit before school. My arms are a little sore from that!

30 minute run + warm up and cool down. My mind is just totally not focused on running this week...all I can think about is basketball playoffs and how excited I am for the 5th round this weekend! If we win this we go to the state championship!! Hopefully I'll be a little more focused next week.

It was absolutely beautiful outside today!! Felt like summer! I did 2.2 mile warm up, strides and dynamics, then 6x400m at mile race pace, 1200m of sprint 200/jog 200, full body strength circuit, 1.5 mile cool down, & finished it off with an ice bath. I still wasn't quite all-in mentally...but it ended up alright. I got SO sunburnt though! Next time I spend like 3 hours on the track, suncreen it is.
