It was a dual meet today, and we had to run something, but Coach wanted us to just do a workout. It took Rachel and me a while to get going on a mile warm up. Then we stretched for the 2 mile. Our plan was to do the 2 mile tempo, then run one more tempo mile. The 2 mile was fun. The first mile was a party. Jordan N was going the same pace, so he just stuck with me. He did awesome, especially running in lane 2. Our first few laps were way fast, but we got into pace. Emily was awesome cheering for us at the long jump. First mile was a 6:08 (too fast), second was a 6:16 which was around a 12:25. Our goal was a 6:20 minute mile, but it wasn't too bad. The second mile was definitely harder. I let Jordan finish in front of me at the end. 3 minutes after I had finished, I was running another mile tempo. My whole body hurt. It was pretty miserable. Started by the range, ran around sv, turned towards Mack Park, but took a left at 300, then turned and finished right at church run finish. It was a long mile. .5 in, I was dying, and took a break. My mile was a 6:43, so not so good. It was longer than I expected. Saw Rachel, and cooled down with her. When we got back to the track, we watched races. I put on some sunblock, but I still got burned. Later did a mile with Kelsee, Danella, and Spencer. Talked to Ethan, then did one more mile. It was a really hot day, but a ton of fun. Jogged around throughout the meet. When I got home, I ran a quarter mile with Ruby to round out my mileage.
