Yay!! I had a super day at practice today! The weather was absolutely perfect for running! I had a granola bar from Costco for a snack. I think I was a little bit sloshy because I drank a Gatorade bottle of water in the last 15 minutes of Mrs. Gobble's class. Heheh... Anyway, during the routine warm-up, I was feeling really good! I was early to finish, so I got to lead a line for dynamics! After stretching for a bit, we ran to Long Cove. We were supposed to do 20 minutes easy, 15 fast, then 20 more easy. At first, I was doubtful that I would make it all the way to Long Cove, so I tried to get to Lifetime. As it turns out, this run was nothing! I held about an 8:07 pace until UDF with Heather P. and then we had to cross Socialville-Foster. Then, the light was broken to cross Mason-Montgomery Rd., so the coaches approved of us J-walking. It took about 20 minutes to do that amount, so after crossing Mason-Montgomery Rd., we picked up the pace to 7:20 according to Heather's watch, so we slowed down to about a 7:45 min/mile pace. I turned around just past the apartment complex in front of Long Cove! It was pretty awesome! I finished the run on the way back with Rachel A. I looked it up on a map, and I ran 7.1 miles!!!!! It took 55:18 minutes. After I got back, I did 6 striders and then stretched and got water. After everyone got back, we did abs and push-ups. :D I'd say a productive day, no?
