AM: 35 minutes on my own down the trail from Tuesday. Felt good and the weather was nice. It's getting easier and easier to run up the stupid hill to my apartment.
PM: Well, all the 800 girls thought we were supposed to run this morning so we all did 35-40 minutes. Turns out Coach wanted us to get our mileage in this afternoon. So instead of a long warm-up/cool-down, we just warmed up to the XC course and then had no cool down. Anyway, we had 2x2 laps strides on the 500 m loop. On the first set, we just did 100 m on, 100 m off. It felt good to get a little speed in there without going all out. The next set we threw a 200 in there. I started to get a bit tired here but not terrible at all. Afterward, Coach talked to us a bit about the plan for the indoor season, then the other girls started setting up for the fun run tomorrow while I ran (literally) all the way back to my apartment (with my backpack on) so as to avoid being late for work. So I guess I got some sort of cool down.
