20 minute easy morning run at 6:30. Slow to begin because I barely got any sleep the night before...staying in cabins and girls talking all night. A good way to wake up though.

School retreats today through tomorrow. Left at 8:10 in the morning. Played ultimate for 2 hours but it wasn't enough exercise to log...but I still had an elevated heart rate through that, it wasnt just passing the disc.

Did a short .5 mile warm up before pain. Today was arguably the worst cross country workout ever. 1 stength circuit consist of:
Running the red trail loop (.5 miles)
20 push-ups
Running the TLC stairs 5 times (up and down counts as one)
20 sit ups
Running the soccer hill at hard pace (very steep)
Running down the long hill
20 push-ups
Running up and down the long hill (tempo and longer but small incline)
20 sit ups
Running up and down the stairs 4.5 times
Sprinting to the top of the long hill (250 meters)
And then recovery pace down the long hill.

I did 2 reps in a little less than 1 hour and 15 min.

Then I did a short cool down and stretched

Warmed up on the way to the powerline trail (about a mile). Then we stopped and stretched out our calves before the big hill. Then we ran the powerline trail to the slough, which is very hilly (about 5 miles there and back). Then we stretched out.

1 mile warm-up around the field. Then we did a dynamic stretching exercise called Romanians. Then we ran Tuscany as a pack run which is 4.82 miles. I am having a hard time with pack runs because the girls split into 2 different groups, one I am too slow for and one I am too fast for. Today I ran with the slower group and they kept telling me to stop or slow, which isn't helpful for training. Then we came back and cooled down and stretched.
