The best pace is suicide pace

Long morning run with 2x2 miles tempo 75-60 sec slower than 5k pace. Parkway loop, the first one started off good but some girls fell off in the middle and regrouping for the end. The last one was super solid with about 7 girls for the whole time!! No falls today so that was a positive haha. Also solid finish. 80 min//9.8 mi

20 min on the grass//2.4 mi

Weights + 15 min run//1.75 mi

Good run into greensprings, we were at the highest point on the sidewalk and I look back expecting like 2 other girls top to be with us, but no there was like 5 or 6!! 58 min//6.5 mi

20 morning + plyos//2.5 mi

Workout in Bloomington; 5x4:00 (3x5k, 2x8k), with lower recovery. Some good packing in there especially at the beginning. It was a good workout for me, stuck in there with Jess and Caroline. It was awesome to see Brianna right with us on the LAST one!! 65 min//7.2 mi

Weights + 15 min/1.75 mi

Bob Firman begins!! Drove to Sugarhouse Park to run the state course! Ran through it, then backwards to mold it into our brains. 8 striders afterwards, 57 min//6.4 mi

Awesome team talk about beating the old Pine View. Switched perspective around and sought out our team and individual weaknesses. Mine was the last half of my race I fall off and I start my kick-fast finish-too late. Team wise- getting in better position to start and running together!!

Fun run at Murray park. I liked the mini bridges and sidewalks. 25 min//3 mi

Ran through course and talked about our pickups during the race where people would struggle at. After the beach and down the hill! Like 6 striders to practice our start, kinda twisted my foot cause there's a million pot holes haha. 35 min//4 mi

Bob Firman race! Got off in a good position right with Jess and Caroline. I stuck with them for the first mile and a half then fell off a bit. The first lap was pretty good, then the real challenge came. The pain hit and I told myself it was good but didn't convince myself enough to push harder. I tried, but not enough. I was positive, but still had nagging negatives. When Ellie came up I pushed but didn't stay with her or Alli. Negatives/will overcome next race- didn't push up hill well, finished last 200, not 800. The positives were I pushed and passed after the beach and same with the downhill. I got into good position to start and stayed with Jess and Caroline longer! Also Pr'd by 15 sec from last year's bob firman time, and 3 seconds for a 5k! Great but still I still have much more to do and our team does too! 50 min//6 mi

Heel hurt really bad so my cool down was super chill, gonna need to get back into a routine of icing

Loved this trip so so much and am gonna miss it! Learned that Roberts has some good 80s music, Alli has a sassy side haha, Jessica looks like Brad Pitt and so much more haha. PVXC RULES
