| Running 22:40 [3] 3.0 mi (7:33 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics |
| I got to xc late, so I ran the Haller Lake loop backwards to meet up with everybody, but it turned out they had run the loop backwards too, so I ended up running by myself. The loop is a little less than 3 miles, I managed to not have to stop at the stoplights, and I was running fast initially to try and catch up with people, so I ran it faster than I typically run that loop. This run felt really good. |
| soccer 1:20:00 [3] | |

| soccer practice. We did a lot of 3 v 2 (with only five people) and keep away, so it was more running than normal at practice, not that that means much with my team. |

| I got to my soccer game late, but I got to play in most of it. We won 6-0, so it wasn't a very good game, but since I had missed the last two games (out of town), I was really glad to be playing again. |

| Vampire O! I ran with Holly and Drew, so we ran (though not amazingly fast) for pretty much all of it. We got tagged by the vampire when we had only one control left, which was frustating, though after taking someone else's punchard, being "bitten" again on the way to that person's missing controls, and then tagging someone else, I think we ended up with a complete punchcard. The guy said he might have some mispunches though, but time was up, so we headed back. Besides overshooting a couple controls, our navigation was pretty good. It did help that there were clumps of flashlights at a lot of the controls though. |

| Running 1:00:00 [3] 6.0 mi (10:00 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics |
| We ran from school to Greenlake and then around the trail on the inside slowly. I was a little sore from yesterday (maybe it had something to do with running through the mud?) but I felt good once I was running. |

| Running race 19:59 [5] 5 km (4:00 / km) vdot: 49.9 | |
| shoes: Asics spikes |
| Districts race at Sammamish Park. The course was really muddy and all the times are therefore slower than normal. I was also just really exhausted the entire race, probably due to the fact that I haven't gotten a lot of sleep recently. I had a 6:06 first mile. The team won, and I just feel bad since I'm going to US Champs instead of state. |

| I helped out at the training camp this weekend, so I did a bunch of other orienteering. I was trying to take a rest day today so lots of it involved walking the courses, though. |
Saturday Oct 20 |
| Orienteering 37:50 [3] 4.3 km (8:48 / km) | |
| |
| A meet at Fort Casey. I was navigating pretty well, until, after realizing 9 was at the bottom of the cliff and therefore running down the cliff to the beach, I forgot that it existed and ran straight to 10 and didn't realize I got a mp till I finished and downloaded. I ran right by the control though, and when I was picking up controls later, I found it very easily. |
Friday Oct 19 |
| Running 45:00 [3] 5.0 mi (9:00 / mi) | |

| Running 38:00 [3] 4.0 mi (9:29 / mi) | |

Wednesday Oct 17 |
| Running 20:01 [5] 5 km (4:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics spikes |
| Metro league champs at Lincoln Park. Everyone started fast, so I had about a 5:53 first mile. I was obviously really tired, but I was able to pass someone near the end. The hill felt better than it has the other times. Overall it was a good race, and I got a PR by 26 seconds. My team also won, which was really exciting. I was 14th, and my other team members that counted for the score (top 5) were 1, 4, 6?, and 12. |

| Running race 20:27 [5] 5 km (4:05 / km) vdot: 48.5 | |
| shoes: Asics spikes |
| The last league meet at Lincoln Park. I ran with spikes (which thankfully didn't give me blisters or anything since this was my first time wearing them). I had a 6:12 first mile. This race just felt really good. I was able to push myself up the hill, my breathing was a lot better at the top of the hill, and I had a kick at the end. I still didn't have anyone close either in front of me or behind me when I finished, though. I'm excited for Metros next week to see how the team does. |

| We ran to NSCC and back, but instead of just running to the Western entrance and turning around, we did a loop around the entire campus. It was fun since we went through the wooded area that I hadn't known existed until the cell phone o' a couple weeks ago. |

| Running 1:00:00 [3] 6.0 mi (10:00 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics |
| I ran to Hamlin as a warm-up, and then did 3 loops there. For the first and third loops, I ran at race pace for the flat areas and jogged up the hills (so basically no rest), and the middle lap was jogging the flats and race pace up the hills. There is one really big hill on the loop as well as a couple small ones. I then ran back to school and did 4 finishing sprints (about 100 m on a grass field). |

| Running 1:00:00 [3] 7.0 mi (8:34 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics |
| Running around Greenlake with two coaches walking around but spaced out and we had to run back and forth between them the entire way around, meaning we were constantly doubling back. Sometimes we were jogging, other times running at race pace, other times faster than race pace. This was a fun workout since it was unique. |

| Running 13:35 [3] 2.25 mi (6:02 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics |
| Pacing workout at the track. We ran 3 x 1200 m at 4:30. My last one was about 5 seconds slow since I have a cold and my throat was kind of stuffed up so I was having problems breathing. I hate running when I have a cold. I had to leave early to go somewhere, so I wasn't able to finish the rest of the workout. |
