Staci Hirschi

The workout was pretty good today. Ran up river road for 2 miles then had 1 mile at 6:40, I hit 6:38 though so that was good. I started to fall back again around .7 but I had to really try to focus on Chloe and keeping up with her. I think it helped to take the warm up slower too. I noticed during cross that taking a slower warm up really helped me in workouts and races. I did 4x200 at the end when I got back to the school. 41, 41, 44, and 40. I had to leave though, my head was really hurting with the little sleep I got.

3 easy in the morning and afternoon and warm up. I'll have to get the workout in tomorrow, I didn't get home until late from throwing today.

So the first 6 miles were pretty good. I ran with Chloe and Bri and we talked the whole time at about an 8 or 8:30 pace. Then I kinda fell back from them and ran the second half on my own. I don't think it was too bad for just running it and not trying to get a certain time. It was definitely a confidence booster knowing I can run at a faster pace for that long (the first half anyway). 

My my goal for next week is to run the full mileage. It's all in my head!
