Comments:
i think it was 2.5 miles? and i forgot to get my time! i just remembered that rite now! haha.

in the begining Carson was encourging me and tryin to get me to keep up with him and for a wile i was like okay this isnt to bad.. and then like the next minit i was DEAD haha i was so tired!

so i slowed down i little but not too much and Carson kept runnin hahha he is FAST!
JESH!
i was tryin really hard to keep up with him and i dont think i could run at that pace EVER for a whole 5k. i would be like superJessica if i could!
haha.

so i was getin tired but doin ok and then there was a bunch of uphill comin up and i new the HUGE hill was comin to so i was like aw man! haha. and then i was getin tireder(more tired?) and then WOSH! goes Abby.
i noticed that Abby is really good at the hills, when she is really trying she is like a beast going up thoes, i think she is really great at keeping her kadance(sp?) the same and she is just zooming up thoes hills at the same pace she was running at on flat land and im like JESH! and i keep slowing down and down i really need to work on that more.

i did practice my down hill i tried keeping really small and tried to make my leg be bent when it hit the ground and not strait, and i also kept my hands really close to me and leaned forward a tinnie bit, i felt great! especially because i new i was doing something right! and like Taylor said when you are thinking about what your doing i does keep your mind off of what your feeling and stuff its awesome!
:)

so after Abby passed me it felt like it was going to be imposible to get back up to her! and we got to the HUGE hill, and i walked the whole thing... i cant believe that i did that, i think it almost is harder to walk up it than run.

then, it seemed to be a lot of down hill, and i felt like i was getin some serious speed! haha but still Abby was like WAY up there and i was like, HOLEY MOLEY!

then, i got to the gravel part and new we were going to finish soon, and i saw Abby finish so i just ran as fast as i could even there was nobody anywhere near me.

i felt bad for my team because i was way back there. :/

*THANKYOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH(Rusty, Brice, Liz, and Rustys wife:))* for taking us on that trip! i had such a great time! and everyone on the team is so much fun to be around. its always fun after a long day at school to just go and get ready for xc practice knowing you get to be around all of you fun people. even if you have a ton of homework.
and its even better when you get to go places like this, and silverwood!
haha
:)

i had a SPECTACULARY AWESOME time! :)
