Comments:
was initially excited for this work-out, until i heard it was on the crescent trail. lets just say i had mixed feelings.
again, i was a sunny-side up with marisa :)
ran with ron a lot - on the way there was next to him most of the way, on the way back he was ahead of me. also ran with marisa like 5 steps behind me the whole time - never actually looked back, but could hear her breathing. it was great to have teammates. with marisa right behind me, she prevented me from giving into that voice in my head when ron got further ahead. it was fantastic to keep up such a strong pace the entire time without even using any adrenaline - if anything, my pace quickened as the run progressed (yes, i definitely did get faster and faster).
my competitive side began to overpower me a bit too much, especially towards the end. but i think i got myself grounded again, and I'll be ready for whatever happens next work-out (whether my teammates are ahead of me or if i feel great - just go with the flow). for now, i'm just enjoying being in good shape.
had to go to the bathroom sooooo bad. when i finished my run, i literally couldn't hold it - just stood there awkwardly with my legs crossed. i finally decided to run over to the nearest gass station, but i didn't last...lets just say that by the time i reached the bathroom, I hardly had to go anymore...(please don't judge me!)

apparently i ran the 3mi in like 23 something. i guess thats good? dunno what 5k times are...not quite there yet (at least i got my track times down now)
