For practice, we did a nice speed workout. We jogged out to the west side of smithfield (consisting of fields, cows, and an occasional house). We got to a road and based our distance between the telephone poles. The first was a brisk pace, the second was faster, and the third was a sprint. Then, we would recover between one set. We started as a pack, so it was slower and harder to get through. The second and third sets were plenty harder. Arianna came with me, and kicked my butt majority of the sprints. The road went out for a mile. first half was asphalt; the second was dirt/gravel. Coming back, we struggled. It got plenty easier on the asphalt. Arianna struggled towards the end, but we just made our recoveries slower. There were too many sets to count, but it was way fun. We cooled down back to sv nice and easy which rounded to 4.5 miles. I was in charge of core, and made it harder than any of our previous core workouts, but it was fun!
It was almost 90 degrees, butnit was my only chance to run. I brought Ruby without much thought, she's always down to run. We went a mile at 8 minute pace, and she was panting a ton. We ran half a mile back, and I was more worried that she was okay than running more miles. The heat didn't affect me too much, it was nice.
