just for the run of it

today we had high mileage for like the first time in forever! the first few miles were kinda rough with the wind and all but the second half of the run flew by so fast!! man i just love running with the girls. it actually felt so good today and that made me really happy (: today's a swell day. shoutout to sam for being my fam and also shoutout to the horse that let us pet it. it was a really pretty horse.

did a mile warm up and then surprise speed. it wasn't too bad at all though. we at 6x400s at current mile pace (5:30) then 3 min rest inbetween each. hit 83 81 83 79 75 73. it felt really good and refreshing. we will see if im tired during the meet tomorrow. watson and i cooled down 3 and a half by mainish and then a half mile on the turf. shoutout to watson cause she's finally back with us (well yesterday too) and not at disneyland. obviously we are much more fun than the happiest place on earth.

did a 2 mile loop shakeout run by my house cause we had high mileage today. it was much needed and felt super nice since my legs were a lil rusty from speed yesterday. got to lp and sat around for quite awhile cause the 800 was towards the end. sami and i warmed up a mile. did some strides with sami and then we were up to the line. they split us into two heats, sami and i went into the first. started out and got pretty boxed in. i spent the first 200 movin up cause i got stuck going slower than i wanted to. the first 400 felt controlled and easy. the 2nd half of the race i focused on slowly starting a kick and keeping good form. in the last 100 a lp girl out kicked me but i felt solid with my race. i defintely feel that i can race faster, which im excited about. afterwards sami kaylee guppy and i cooled down 3 miles by glen park which was sooooooo pretty. then guppy and i still had some mielage left so we did 1 and a half on the grass which felt amazing. shoutout to all the lp kids for hosting a meet and killing it. oh and also shout out to the old guy who scared us by opening a car door and screaming at us. that was defintely a highlight. and unshoutout to Collin for stealing some of my smoothie. you better watch out.

did abs during lunch and also ran 2 down main which is always a favorite. then did a mile on the turf with watson and guppy and then went a mile out with them but had to turn back at a mile. i was feeling pretty good today, just had work to hurry to.

did a mile warm up on the turf and then did the 2 mile workout. it was 5x1000s at 2 mile pace with 3 min 30 sec rest inbetween each. hit my paces the first two but my last 3 were all off by a little bit. it was defintely more an endurance workout, which ive found ive actually enjoyed more speed rather than endurance lately. what got me each time was the 2nd 400, so now I'm going to try on working those middle laps better. afterwards i cooled down 3/4 of a mile. oh and i did abs before cause it took so long to start the workout. shoutout to asa for going to morp with me! super sick night and we had some pretty sick dance moves.

today i woke up pretty early and i was quite tired but sami, watson, and i ran to the af rec center and it was a lil chilly at first but it felt so nice at the end. it was recovery which felt so nice on my calves, cause yesterday's workout pretty much wrecked them. once we got to the rec center we got some water, cause watson was really thirsty (lol) and then we did some high quality yoga that was so amazing and then we went back to my house and had a pretty delicious breakfast. so shoutout to both of them cause it was a fantastic day.
