I Eat PAIN-cakes for Breakfast

Today was an LSD run. Since all of the girls I usually run with are out of town, I ran with Hunter and Caleb. They were going at a pretty nice pace. It was a little fast so it was more of a slower tempo but I didn't mind it. I thought about going with Kenny and Kedric thinking I could hold their slow pace but they spread up and I wasn't feeling like running race pace for 5 miles. I had a good time running with Hunter and Caleb. They pushed me and it was nice to go a little faster today. Cooled down with Talon after.

Today was an easy day. We did the normal warm up and then ran to the high school, which is about a mile. We did the circuit room there and now my shoulders are sore, but it was nice to get a good workout. Ran back to the park with Jacia and Kedric. We took the 2.5 mile route to get a little more mileage in. We did some cool down dynamics with everyone else after. I went driving yesterday on an actual road and didn't screw up so  I was pretty happy about that. Maybe I'll only be a mostly bad driver.

The team had their annual Flume Trail Fun Run today. I took it nice and easy since there is time trials tomorrow. It was a pretty run. I was the only one from my normal running group again so I ran with some of the boys. I almost tripped a few times. I'm super excited for time trials tomorrow. I'm aiming for a sub twenty so we'll see how it goes. 

So today was time trials. Jacia and I pumped ourselves up during the warm up, which only made me more excited. Mason and Austin came to cheer on the team. It took a few minutes to start the race because of traffic. As soon as Henderson said go, I was off. Jacia and I were flying. I eventually pulled ahead and started passing people. I was a little nervous that I was going too fast too early but decided to just go with it. I felt pretty good the whole time. My lungs were burning but my legs felt fine. Mason and Austin drove to different parts of the course. I could hear them screaming my name. That helped me push faster. I had a decent kick and ended up pr'ing by 29 seconds. I was the first girl to finish too. This race as a whole was a real confidence booster. Jacia came in a few seconds later and also PR'D. I'm excited for Highland. The course will be challenging but I want to see how hard I can push. We cooled down for a mile afterwards. 

Morning: Today was just an easy 3 miles with an intense workout at the high school circuit room. The team had to take a team picture for a thing right after our workout. I'm pretty sure I look like a sweaty monster from the nightmare of a little child. 

Afternoon: I did another 5.25 to finish off my mileage for the week. It was hot, but I need the heat training. I was dying and I am pretty sure I again looked like the sweaty monster but whatever.
