Clarksburg
This weekend my team had practice in Clarksburg- which I had never heard of before. It turns out to be a cute little town way south on I-5, right after Freeport. Its right on the river and has some huge houses and as I learned, some crazy mosquitos.
After talking to my coach I decided I would take her advice and do intervals- 3 minute runs with 45 second walks. My distance was roughly 10 miles. It was a good practice- met a few people I hadnt talked to before. Its great when you can run that distance and carry on a conversation- makes the time fly and you forget about how far your going.
Another great thing was that there was a perfect breeze- its been so hot here lately that the breeze felt great!
After the run the back of my leg had a big old bump on it- I got bit by a mosquito (I think) and it must of been a super mosquito because I have never had such a big reaction from one before. I also got bit a couple times on the arm- but not as bad.
I am so glad that my foot feels better and I can get back to business with this training. It was very depressing being unable to workout wit the team and I have been stressed that I wouldnt make it to race day- but I feel better now.
