The season has begun so here I am, back in my lovely hometown with ready access to tumblr.
Summer was great- I absolutely loved being a camp counselor and it really helped remind that my main priority for senior year should be to, above anything else, have a wonderful, fun senior season. I’m a captain, so this season won’t be all about me. Sure, it’s nice to have some glory but in the grand scheme of things, what will truly matter? I love to run and I think as long as I keep that in mind, all should go well, no matter what my times are.
I’m not sure if my foot is 100%. So far, so good… but I ran minimally at camp (well, I ran pretty much everyday when I could, but it wasn’t 45 mpw or anything like that) so we’ll see how the mileage affects me.
Quick, brief day-to-day run-down:
Last Monday: 2 mile warm-up. 4 Park Hills. 1 mile cool-down. Felt strangely really good!
Tuesday: 4 mile easy run. Cramps to the max.
Wednesday: 1st day of official practice. 5-6 miles mod pace. Lovely, although tiring by the end.
Thursday: 5 mile run. Dece.
Friday: 2 mile warm-up. 15 minutes continuous hill repeats. Not too bad but was a little too gung-ho at the beginning and paid for that at the end. 1.5 mile cooldown.
Saturday: 7 miles. GLORIOUS.
Sunday: Off.
Today: 4 mile (pushing the pace). 1 mile on the track (200m of 4mile run pace, 200m increased pace some more).
So yeah, the mileage hasn’t been crazy so far, but I expect that the workload will pick up. My entire team’s not in the best shape right now- hopefully we’ll get there.
Yay cross country!
