Stretching/Warmup 15:00 [2]
Stretching and warmup at 8:30 AM for cross country practice. We are meeting every Sunday morning now to run the course. Our plan is to run it at an easy pace now and gradually increase the speed as the weather warms up. Hopefully by running it every week we will learn to pace ourselves better.
I felt pretty good despite being sick for the past few days. My thigh was still sore but didn't bother me when I was running. It is only when I have to get down low in my knees that it bothers me.
Trail Run (5k Course) 24:31 [3]
We ran an 8 minute mile pace checking off the quarter miles. It was the perfect pace considering the icy cover, and the early time. The cold air was refreshing, but I don't think it would have been too much fun at race pace.
