For practice, we did sunnyside and met up at mack park after to play games. Everybody was tired, so it was nice! Our first mile was 8:29, and the next 3 miles were in 22:30. Not many people showed up, but we had a good pack up front. To make sure the pack behind us knew where to go, a few of us stopped and went with them. Then, we played partner tag, getting soaked and muddy. We ran back as a team, kind of. I didn't get that mile timed, but it was slow. It was a good, relaxing practice.
In the afternoon, I did 5 miles easy up Smithfield canyon. It wasn't super hot, but still warm. The mile splits were 7:08, 7:47, 7:41, 7:20, 7:50. They vary due to hills, but overall it was under 38 minutes. The last mile, I focused on keeping pace and never slowing up the hill. It felt good, and somehow kept it under 8 minute miles.
