It's a RUNderful life

Back on the blog finally (@Collin) anyhow, glad to get back to longer runs with actual people. Gotta love people... Even though it was pretty chilly today, it was a quality run. Did a mile warmup and then a 6ish mile loop out by Willowcreek. Also I truly enjoyed that cutie horse that let us pet it. I will love anyone who gets me a horse.

Had some easier speed today. 6x400 at current mile pace with 3min. rest inbetween. Usually that would not be too hard but I've got a little chest cold which made feel lots harder. Oh well. Hopefully I will be feeling well enough to to race tomorrow. 

Today I just feel like I've been run over by a train. I was also kinda mad I couldn't race so I did eight VERY SLOW miles to cool off, however I regretted it a bit because I was coughing half the time and then after I sat coughing for like 20 min. It was worth it though. Shoutout to all my awesome team mates who raced today. <3

Back to low mileage (meh). Don't even remember this run so must not have been that special.

Had a lovely little (but hecka fast) speed workout today. 3x400, 3x200, and 3x100 all at 800m pace. Can't remember the exact amount of rest but it felt pretty decent. However, my legs are in no way used to going that fast. Somehow I've lost all my speed, but that's okay I'll get it back... Hopefully. Anyhow, 400s were pretty hard but the rest was cake. 100s and 200s were definitely faster than they should have been but it's all good. Kinda glad I wasn't doing the 2 mile workout. Cool down after was a little rough cuz ma legs felt a little like rocks but after a bit they felt lots better and it ended up being a relatively speedy cool down, especially cuz I had to get back for MORP which ended up being a party. Shoutout to Sami and Guppy for staggin' it ;)

I really questioned my sanity this morning when I was at Gan's by 7:00 after being up until 2:00... However it was worth it. Sami and I met at Gan's and we all ran to the AF rec center. Right off the bat I regretted (a) not wearing a headband cuz my ears felt like they were going to fall off, and (b) another thing which Sami and Gan I'm sure know all about... 😒 Anyway, legs felt a bit sore and I was half asleep, but we had a good run and I got to experience some new roads which is always such an adventure. We did some very stretchy yoga at the rec center which was the best and then we went back toGan's where they taught me how to cook an egg INSIDE toast. Crazy. Highly productive morning overall.
