I Eat PAIN-cakes for Breakfast

So today was the first day of USU XC camp. It was a joyous run in 100 degree weather. I luckily didn't get dehydrated because I drank like 150oz of water before. It was cool though to run with runners from all over the western United States. I still died though.

This morning we had the Morning Mile Challenge at USU. I ran a 5:48 which is a PR so I'm very happy. In the afternoon we did intervals with groups based on our mile times. My group had to do 12 sets of one minute hard/one minute fast. Cooled down with the Freemont kids after. They're pretty cool. Then in the evening, we ran anothe 3 miles and swam after. 

Today was a mile warm up, hurdle stretches, and then a timed 5K on USU's course. It was not my best race but I'm just getting back into the racing mind set. Cooled down with Freemont again. Today was the last day of camp. I was super sad to leave because I had a really good time with Jacia, Reagen, McKenna, Kyrie, and the Freemont kids. I'm excited to attend this camp next year.  

My legs were really sore today. Luckily it was just core and an easy run. Henderson ran with McKenna and I. It was nice to be able to have a little more one on one time with him. 

My stomach sunk this morning when I remembered that Henderskn had said it was going to be mile repeats. Nevertheless, I got myself out of bed and went to practice. After the mile warm up my legs were shot. I still gave it my all on the first repeat. I ran a 7:25. The second one I ran a 7:30. By then, Henderson and Hill told Jacia, McKenna, and I to just cool down. They saw that we weren't running our usual times and wanted us to recover. I didn't argue with that. I'm supposed to take two days off for recovery and that's exactly what I'm going to do. XC camp really killed, but I don't regret it at all. I'm excited for out team camp and plan on getting the death hill record. Pray for me.🙏🏼
