At practice we warmed up about half a mile, then did 3 miles tempo. We did church run which is easier than some of the others. We planned to hit maybe 6:40s. I wanted to go faster, to see how fast I might go with people, but that turned out to be a good goal. The first half was easier and felt good. Coach came to pace us the last half which helped a TON at the end. When we turned around it got a little more difficult because you could see ohw much uphill there was to do. I was also tired from the last 2 hard days. When we were going downhill I hoped it would've gotten easier, but it didn't. At the end, I sort of sprinted, but it wasn't super fast. The times we got were 1) 6:37, 2) 6:38, 3) 6:27. That added up to 19:52. I was super tired afterwards. I tried jogging to cool down, but it was really difficult. I cooled down maybe half a mile. Then we went to Ihop which was a ton of fun, but I was really tired.
In the evening I went 5 easy miles. I thought it was going to rain, but it didn't. It was just really muggy. It ended up taking me 44 minutes because I was so tired.
