Notes
Club XC Nationals! This was so much fun! I just loved being out there with so many other women runners. It was crazy running the first mile in 5:33 and being surrounded by so many people (and so many out in front of me). It was awesome. It was nowhere near as painful as I expected. The most trouble I had was with my stomach. I think I maybe ate too much (or too soon), being used to how much I would need to eat before a longer race. Other than that I felt great. I slowed down a bit on the uphill third mile but I felt like in general I passed a few people and wasn't getting passed much, so I was following the general trend of the group. This made me excited to do some more shorter races! Indoor miles maybe? It was also such a fun experience running with the other girls on the team. Megan's family were such great hosts too. And it was awesome to see Beth, Nate, Connor, and lots of other familiar faces!!
My foot was pretty sore after, and the next day, so that was the biggest bummer :(
