"Train insane or remain the same."

Easy high mileage today-Guppy, Watson, Butters, Megan, and I headed up to my house where we stopped for a quick drink of water. Then we headed on back to the high school and did 10min of abs.

Half mile warm up barefoot on the turf, then s200, 400, 800, 1600, 800, 400, 200 all at 5k pace (6:35) with 1min, 2min, 3min, 4min, 3min, 2min rest. Splits were 46, 97, 3:16, 6:37, 3:10, 84, 34. Afterwards 1.5mile cool down with Megan and Alexis. And shout out to my mom for making a killer dinner for me tonight! She's always got my back!

Cross trained today-just a preprogrammed cross country workout on the Elliptical. Bascially a party was going down.

Pre meet today. I left my clothes and shoes at home so I went there after school and changed, then ran the mile to cemetery to meet up with the team. While I was waiting for everybody to get there I did another .5 on the grass. Then we did and 800 at goal 5k pace (3:08) afterwards another 1.5 on the grass and then I ran back home. I tried to go ice bath at the SOLW but it was off so that's no good, but I just had a fantastic smoothie from Roxberry so that's sick. Also shout out to my baby sis cuz it's her BIRTHDAY!

Well basically it was raining and hailing at lunch so I pretty much prepared for Park City the way one prepares for a climbing expedition on Mt. Everest. Suffice it to say I brought more than a few jackets. Anyways it was not raining or hailing up at the race, but it was for sure still super cold. When I started out for my race my muscles were all cold and even though I was wearing tights my legs didn't really warm up till about halfway in. My arms were freezing as well so I kinda felt like I was running and carrying bricks. My start ended up not being very good, I got cut off a ton and actually had someone grab my my arm and pull me backwards so that was nice. So the first part of my race was pretty tough physically and mentally but after that I kinda picked up the pace and started working on catching up to other girls. When I hit the grass hill I slowed down a lot, I think my fear of slipping got the best of me. But my kick at the end was good so I'm happy with that. Other than my legs and arms feeling super heavy I would say it was a pretty good race. I don't actually know my time so that's just a guess but I'll fix that once I know.

On a side note, shout out to all the people managed to table top me today despite my superhuman stealth, and shout out to Collin, Connor, Guppys, and Bill for coming hottubbing and getting pizza tonight. Also shout out to boys varsity for taking first #goals literally.

Met at Summercrest Park at 8:15 and went on a run with Watson, Bill, Butters, Megan, and Guppy. We ran to the Murdock Canal trail and took that up to Smith's then ran on the trail a bit longer then turned around and headed to Kneaders where we got some breakfast. By then we were all done with mileage so Guppys dad came and picked us up. It was a super fun run and the weather was really nice. And of course Kneaders is always fantastic.
