Today was the first day of the last week of the cross country season. In just six short days, the top seven people form every team in our region will travel to Cooper's Lake in Slippery Rock, Pa to compete in the Division II Atlantic Region race. At this race, the top three teams will travel to Nationals! We hope to close in on the fourth spot.
Today's run was 80% of your typical long run. Jenny, one of my teammates, joined me in running 8 miles. This took us just over an hour, as we ran a pretty consistent pace. We started at the Morrow Field House on campus and ran a loop familiar to most runners on the team, Heinz. We ran on alot of backroads in town and even saw some cows and horses on farms. Our run began at 11am and it was just below 40 degrees so we were semi bundled up to endure the cold temperature. We talked alot during the run about school, running and other topics. Overall this was a very good run that got us both ready for the week of light training to come.
Six days until the Division II Atlantic Regional Race at Cooper's Lake Campground!!!!!!
Not only did you run 8 miles in an hour but you talked about school, running, and other topics? If I was running 8 miles I would be concentrating on how I'm going to survive and not pass out. Good luck on your big race and hopefully you can have a few days to relax before beginning indoor track. I noticed that you're not running during your picture, hopefully this was during your cool down.
