It's a RUNderful life

Pre-meet

Well this was not a good race for me, mentally or physically. Had a good start but in the first mile I lost Gan and that was not a smart move for me. A little less than half a mile out I started feeling pretty bad for some unknown reason and I like half way threw up right before the last turn which made the last little bit pretty rough. So overall, not the funnest race.

Today's run was definitely a recovery run. Warmed up a mile, then Jamie had us do a couple miles on the grass, and then Guppy, Gan, and I headed out to finish our mileage. It'll suffice to say that it was a VERY toasty run. We went down towards Fox Hollow and then back, stopping at the splash pad so we didn't melt. Legs felt tired but not too bad. 

I'm very sad to say that today's run was the last run of summer 2016... However, it was a good one to end on. Woke up EARLY and met up with Gan who is honestly the BEST EVER for always running with me... before the sun even comes out. We started out pretty slow cuz both of our legs were tired and we were half asleep. Started at my house and ran out to 1200 and then over to the road by Sami's. Went all the way down that road and then went left, making a big loop back to the Freedom Park and then by Mario's Grandpa's giant pumpkin (it's crazy huge btw) and then back to 1200. It was a good loop, although I think Gan and I both felt like we'd run everywhere. First half was pretty slow and second half was slightly faster at about 8:00 min pace. Avg pace was 8:16 apr. The weather was perfect tho and I was a super nice long run to finish off the summer :)
