Another solo run today, but it didn't feel all that bad. Actually I did the first 2 miles with Tyler and Richard, then went out on the road for 5 more. I was cruising along pretty well; I don't think a single mile was over 7 minutes. On my way out on the road I passed Ben and Danny as they were returning. Danny held up a leaf he'd caught, signifying his 2-to-1 lead in the leaf-catching scoreboard. I'm going to have to step up my game if I want to compete this season.
Also, did I mention that yesterday we were nearly eaten by a couple of fluffy white dogs while trying to dash 2 miles back to campus? Man-eating animals are good motivation to run faster in the middle of a workout.
Tomorrow will be another easy practice, and Saturday morning is the Falcon Invite. Our first home meet of the season brings in many of the conference schools for a mid-September showdown on the new course. This is the perfect opportunity for us to flex our running muscles and show what we can do. I have complete confidence in our team's ability to win conference this year, and this weekend could be the first indication of whether I'm correct.
