After warmups we did 2 laps easy then started the 80% run. I finally felt a little better, I felt like I had a bit more energy today and actually felt ready to run. We did 3 laps of the 80% on the track, we hit 90-91. Then we went out from the track to Home Depot, which is mostly uphill with the exception of like .25 I'd guess of downhill. I started out strong and could hang with Angie, Ashley, and Maggie (Ashley H had a large gap on us) and stayed with them for a while, probably like 2 miles, then I tightened up a ton and tried to relax but wasn't really able to. I fell off towards the end, and Sharlie and I think Brighton?  Closed on me. We got stopped at the light just before Home Depot, and I wasn't paying attention so I got a slow start from there. Sharlie took off pretty fast and I tried to go with but couldn't, so Brighton and I were running together for a little bit, then when I got the view of Home Depot I picked it up and managed to pull away from her. I really pushed myself and was happy with it. Coach said my time was like 20:33, but that was including the time we had to stop at the light, so I'd guess it was closer to 19:30. I had a watch on it I was just stupid and included the two laps before the 80% started and forgot to reset it. 

Anyway, so that was like a 3 mile tempo pretty much but I worked hard. After that we did whistle hills, I think it was 3x15, 20, 25 seconds? Not sure we just ran until coach blew the whistle. Those were hard especially after how tired I was, but I worked hard on those too.

Then we ran back to the track and I added a mile to get to 8.5
