boardtown long run

i know i haven't necessarily been excellent at updating my progress this summer, but rest assured, i am killing it.

i haven't hit my total mileage each week (only off by a few short miles), but my quality is there.

this week i was able to run with simone on thursday, jodie on friday, and boardtown on saturday.  one more week of this solo-training deal and i would have been toast.  i wouldn't have made it, and i'm not ashamed to say that.  i need a support system.

this weekend's long run was the best run all summer.  i feel great. i feel like my body looks great. my legs felt great. (and it was like 15 degrees cooler this morning).   averaging about 6:30 on long run, starting at about 7:04 pace and dropping it each mile.  shoot, last week's long run we ended on about a 6:14 mile because dogs were chasing after katie....and katie hates dogs.  hahahahaha. my legs about died.  i love running with starkville high school's boys cross-country team.  they are awesome people.

this is jodie
if you don't know her, i feel bad for you
she is going to be a great team leader and an unstoppable force this season

part of the team
i am so glad starkville's population is increasing by the thousands each minute
