Happy first day of school! (haha nawt really) anyhow, today's workout was "the kicker". My mental game was pretty strong going into it cuz I really didn't want to feel like I did after last week's race and I knew that I could do better. warmed up down to the start, then got it done. Going up the (largest) hill I gapped Gan and Kaylee a little and it stayed that way for the rest of the race. Finished with a solid 10:04. Really wish I woulda gone a little harder at the end cuz I really really wanna break 10:00 this season, but I guess I'll get it next time! Surprisingly, the kicker wasn't even the hardest part of today's workout... We had high mileage so after I still had six more miles and it honestly felt like it was 100 degrees outside. The SOTD (squad of the day) and I went one the MCT and ran through the gulley and back. Seriously thought my legs were gonna fall off and my body was gonna melt into a puddle. Thankfully neither of those things occurred. Shoutout to Smith's for having free water bottles. They are the real MVPs. After did abs and hips and ice bathed.
