Monday- Today we went on an easy 5 km run. Both of us felt tired.
Tuesday- Today the entire Sr. Girls XC team from G.D.C.I. went on their first run together, which was nice and long overdue. We went 7 km with the team, and a warm up/cooldown from our house to the meeting point. Then we came home and did core.
Wednesday- We took it easy today and did 5 km with some strides.
Thursday-WOSSA!!!! Both of us were slightly nervous, it appeared Laura was more nervous but Leslie was having greater difficulty eating and sleeping. Once the race started we were both fine. Leslie had an excellent start and apart from falling Laura did too. Both of us are happy about the way we ran, Leslie was extremely dissapointed afterwards, although she finished better than she had predicted. Laura placed 3rd and is moving on while Leslie placed 13th. Our team got 4th place which was exceptional considering our lack of preparation. Then we went to the badminton club at our school and played for 1.5 hours.
Friday-Today we had off.
Saturday- Today was the Halloween workout. It was a lot of fun, although, Leslie thinks the costume contest was rigged. Just kidding. Anyway, we started with our normal warm up and stride drills. Then we did a tempo, followed by some speed work, and a cool down. Afterwards we both felt very tired but thought the workout went well.
Sunday-We both did an easy 6 km and core and Leslie also did the core exercises given to her by her personal trainer.
Totals: Laura: Ran: 49 km Core: 2 x routine Badminton: 1.5 hours
Leslie: Ran: 49 km Core: 3 x routine Badminton: 1.5 hours

Wednesday- Laura went to the workout in London and did a moderate workout with drill strides and a long cool down. Leslie was felling very sick so she stayed home from school and rested all day.
Thursday- PRE-OFSAA!! Laura got 13th, she felt okay but her legs were sore. Leslie got 43rd, which she wasn't to thrilled about, but she had a bad start and was still feeling sick, so she wasn't surprised with her result. Leslie was commenting on her right calf afterwards and that it felt "crampy" on the cool down. This may be due to her brace?
Friday-We both had today off. Leslie's calf was still hurting her but she didn't think much of it.
Staurday-We did a warm up, tempo, stride drills, and then some speed work, with a quick cool down. Laura felt good, Leslie felt tired and her calf was bothering her on the speed stuff, but otherwise felt good.
