Practice

Since I've been here, I think I have already grown a lot as a runner. Yesterday we had a hard practice, but afterward, I felt really good about how I did. We had a certain pace from the time trial that we had to stay at. We ran a 200, 400, 600, 800, then back down. The hardest part was the mile we did after that. We had to run it all together and make it in 6:50. For the faster people that wasn't so bad, but for us slower people, it was a bit more difficult. I wasn't right up there the whole time, but I finished with the pack. We didn't all finish together, so we had to do 50 push ups and 100 crunches. It was hard but good. Today we learned how to aqua jog! It feels kinda funny, cuz we had to wear these weird looking suits and then just run in the water. It was kinda fun though! I can't wait for my dad to come tomorrow! This week seems to have taken forever! Here's one more picture. It's of all the girls on the team. From left: Emily, Olivia, Melissa, Mary, Kelsey, me, Hannah, Bethany. I thought it was interesting that there is a Bethany and Melissa on my team! Those are my sister's names!
