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 easy recovery run with Mell. Went down rail trail and back.

6AM- 7 miles, with the first and last 5 minutes being warm up and cool down and the middle ~6 miles being tempo. Averaged about 7:30 for that tempo section. I feel like the effort was more like 7:15, but I guess the fact that that threshold effort was there is what really matters on tempos less than the actual split like for intervals. 

My right hamstring hurts pretty bad today after that run, unsure why. It's been bugging me a little bit immediately following hard runs for the last 2-3 weeks, but not very badly at all. Don't know why it's so noticeable today.

7 mile shakeout with my pretty little team! We went to Converse Heights and it felt absolutely fantastic outside! Abs afterwards.

6AM- Got very, very little sleep last night, it's pouring the rain, I'm sick, I'm sore... Lot's of excuses to not run well this morning bouncing around in my head but I'm really pleased with the way I pushed through and practiced competitively this morning. Workout was on the grass lower fields; we did 1.5, 1.5, 1 miles with 90 seconds walk (I think? maybe 60?) between each. I hit 10:05 (6:39 mile), 9:55 (6:34 mile), and then 6:35. Stayed right up next to Anya for that 2nd 1.5. Negative split each of those by the 800's. I feel really good about that, specially considering the circumstances. We have a shakeout later, but for now I'm just focused on surviving the rest of the day and not passing out in any of my classes or at work!

PM- 5 mile shakeout with Mell to rail trail and back! Did not wanna do this but I'm glad we did. Legs are achy but probably better than if I hadn't shaken them out.

Long run with Mell! Bekka P. ran with us for the first 6 miles or so, then Mell and I finished up. My legs are pretty exhausted, not really from that but just from the week in general. Anyways, very thankful to have Mell as my running buddy these days!
