I’ve caught my roommate’s cold and I don’t feel too great today. But it’s alright. So, tryouts for the intramural cross country team are tonight and tomorrow night, but I’m not sure if I’m going to do it. Part of me wants to because it’ll help me stay motivated to run throughout the semester and I can make some new friends, but part of me doesn’t want to because I like this go-at-your-own-pace kind of running. I’ve done intense, competitive running for 7 years and I like not having that pressure anymore. But sometimes I do miss it.

Okay, so I changed my mind. I missed tryouts because of a class on Tuesday and work on Wednesday so I thought there went that. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do it anyways so I decided I didn’t want to, that I was good with just running alone. Which I am, but it’s also fun to run with others. So, as I thought more about it I decided to at least see if it would be possible to still participate despite me missing tryouts. I went to Student Activities and relieved the contact number for the person in charge of cross country and I asked if I still could participate and explained my circumstance. And guess what? I’ve now been assigned to a team! The coach has my contact info and will get ahold of me to explain things further. I don’t know anything about the team, or how many teams there are, but I’m actually kind of excited when I think about racing again. I’m nervous because I’ve lost a lot of fitness since March, but I like not being pressured to run well. If I suck it up, no worries! And if I rock it and PR, sweeeet!!!!

Anyways, today was rough when it came to running. I’d planned to go longer but my cold is close to its peak I think. My cough hurt and breathing too deeply and too frequently also hurt my chest. So I called it early. I hope that by Monday I’m feeling much better so that my first day of running with my new team actually feels good.

Side note: they were live-streaming the women’s Olympic Marathon in the I-center while I grabbed some food so I caught the tail end of it. I’m so impressed and inspired. It looked tough and they were still holding a quick pace even 26 miles later.

Got word from my team coach that practices will be every MWF in the evening, starting on Monday. I don’t really know what to expect, I’m guessing it’ll be sort of like high school running. But who knows! I hope there will be some girls that can push me in workouts. Or that they combined guys and girls so I can try to keep up with a few guys like the good old days :) lol

Tonight I pushed the run a bit, it felt good. I’m still congested and felt like I had a light weight on my chest, but considering that I think it was a good run. 7:23 average
