just for the run of it

after a rough night of sleep (more like two 2 hour naps), running was kinda rough and my calves felt like bricks until i stopped to stretch. other than that had some tasty hot chocolate from kneaders and always enjoy running with the girls 💗

low mileage+arm wo+abs+hips

did mile warm up then wo was 5x800 at 2mile pace. calves felt tight on the wu but they're usually fine so i didn't think much of it but 3rd set in was rough. stood out 4th and did the last one but the last 200 it was like my calves hit a wall. i biked for a cool down. shoutout to collin cause he worked on my calves pretty good, they're stubborn little guys.... hopefully theyll be fine before the weekend, just frustrated cause i've never not finised a speed workout. 

kinda frustrated cause i had to go ultra slow cause going fast hurttt. ended up just doing 5 and biking for 20 min. hopefully calves are gonna do better tomorrow. 

did 3 mile wu and wanted to stop and stretch like a billion times but i hate doing that to the girls so i just grinded through. i think my calves are just not recovering right so jamie told me bike the rest. did speed on bikes which was 2x60-90-30 sec pickups with minimal rest and then longer rest between sets (don't really care to put all the numbers). it was killer and i really pushed myself. finished biking to 45 min, then some lower body lifting minus calf raises cause that would be a problem lol. did abs and stuff and yeah, just gonna cross train tomorrow. 

today i tell a sad tell of gannicus:

her calves hurt dearly so she knew she shouldn't run. she wanted to go aqua jogging, it seemed it could be fun. she called her local gym, they said there would be room to swim. she got up early to get a lane, but the drive over was extremely insane. her car spun out with a 180, luckily the cars she evaded. finally she arrived but all was not right, there was not a parking space in sight. she tried here and over there, but there was too much snow for her tiny car to bear. with a spot of luck, she found a space, then went inside to find there was a swimming race. somehow prepared she had workout attire, however she didn't want to bike, she was tired (of it). reluctantly she got on with her inadequate shoes, the first 10 min she didn't want to move. however the time seemed to pass fast, it was finally 60 min at last. she was good girl and did her abs, then drove home although she wished she had a cab. from this story we learn that running is life, it literally causes so much less strife.
