Because you should celebrate a season well done and a year well done by drinking alone in your room! At least, if the girl you were going to celebrate with is passed the heck out in her room because she hasn't slept in, like, three days.

So! A lot of stuff has gone down.

I ran a 43:01 at conferences in the 10k in more or less crappy conditions. The only girls who beat me were girls who really deserved it... chicks with PRs way better than mine :) And I ran well. I lapped girls earlier in this race. It was a good time.

I ran a 3k PR (by 4 seconds!) the week before conferences. It was a lonely race... ran straight from the back and moved up on DI girls the whole time. It was kind of fun to race, though. I don't get to run that distance outdoors very often. I really like it.

I ran a 1500m PR by 3 seconds. Pretty sweet for a girl who hasn't done any workout at a pace faster than 3k race pace since February.

I tried to pace L. to qualify in the 800 and failed....twice. It took a 62-second 400m runner to get the job done. No wonder I couldn't do it :P

I ran a 5k PR by 5 seconds (down to 20:25). Someday I'm going to get my sub-20. It was a hot day, I was off pace from the gun, but I ran well tactically and it paid off in a sweet 5 second PR. I'm in much better shape, but my 5ks never reflect it.

I'm excited to captain again this year with the wonderful A., who I don't think KNOWS she's a captain yet... but Coach slipped up to me :D Our freshman class should be fast...

This summer, I just want to run a lot and stay healthy. I think if I back off on intensity a bit compared to previous summers and emphasize distance more, it'll be great. It appears that my easy pace is now about 8:10... I do my long runs at that pace... so my fitness is great. I just need miles and my health!

Another thing that I could LJ about... but won't... is the complete upheaval of my life and how I can't hardly believe what has come of me since, like, March and the whole 10k adventure. COMPLETE UPHEAVAL, GUYS.
