Wednesday

I wish I would have had my phone so I could take a picture! I found a trail by the high school and ran on that… it started out fine but turned to ice. It was more of a workout trying to not fall and go around puddles! I did fall through thin ice one and completely saturate my shoes up to my ankles with ice cold water. I also kind of got lost once but it’s all good πŸ™‚ overall a fun run though!

Also abs.

Thursday

First practice at the track!

    Your Easter pictures look amazing <3
    Also, feeling "fine" after a 12:31 2 mile is kind of gross [kidding, it's actually awesome πŸ™‚ ) – I would be so dead!
