Results from past races...

Big South 3k - 3rd place, 10:07 (PR!)

Big South 5k - 1st place, 17:21 (Almost PR!)
*** Led this race from start to finish! Knew I had to do this if I wanted to win so I went for it! I felt great and it went by fast and was a ton of fun!

BOSTON!

7th place, first in my heat. Felt great again but had some issues with the 'crowds' (which I DO NOT like). PR'd with a 17:13!

Raleigh Relays - first 10k of the season!

3rd place, 35:15 - 1 1/2 minute PR!
*** ran the first 5k easy in 18 flat. I felt great up to 10 laps to go - my breathing was easy and my legs felt good. Then I took off...started running 82's and 83's per lap instead of 86's like I had been doing. Still felt good although it definitely got harder. I wanted to finish knowing I had given it all! my second 5k was 17:15...2 seconds from a 5k PR! If I hadn't been boxed in, I know I would have PR'd. Oh well...I'll save a big 5k PR for the DRAKE RELAYS!

I was supposed to race the 1500 (short, I know!) at Coastal during spring break but I got sun poisoning and it took a few days for me to recover from that so I opted out of racing that. However, I will be racing the 1500 next week at Lynchburg College. I'm hoping for a big PR (again!).

BOSTON!

Because I FINALLY qualified for ECAC's after 3 years of trying, I am headed to Boston tomorrow! We are leaving at 7am but won't get there until sometime in the afternoon. It will be a long day of traveling but so worth it! Especially since my Mom, Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt and Uncle will be there! I am so excited to see them all! Dad is staying home with the kids, but I wish he could come too. My running has changed a lot since December and I have to say, it is all because of my amazing man, Jake Reed! He has kinda become like a personal coach for me and he knows what he's talking about when it comes to running so it has been good....real good! He has had me bump up my mileage from 60 to 70+ a week and plus has created some amazing workouts for me that are actually pretty long, but when I run them with him, they really aren't that bad and I enjoy them.

Anyway, I am super excited to be heading to Boston tomorrow and I know it is going to be a great trip! Now, to get some homework done before I leave... :/
