just for the run of it

what a fantastic day! wu to the gulley then 6x60sec up the hill. fought hard and stayed mentally in it the whole time, and averaged 5:45 mile pace which was exciting. . afterwards i felt like death but was so happy at the same time! cd to 5 (finally! #almostthere) then biked 20min, very slowly due to dead legs. did abs&hips then ice bath

did 5mile loop with some hills which was mostly good, calves hit a lil on the up but were fine soon enough. also guppy found a snake on the trail which scared me very badly and it wasn't the smallest one i've ever seen... got back and biked 20min then did abs&hips and an ice bath with my good pal mario

did premeet today and hit 76 79. idk why but struggling pacing those, i wanted 80-81 smh. oh well finished miles and idk what's made the difference these last few weeks but i had forgotten what running without pain had felt like but now it makes me so grateful when i feel normal and it's good to know it gets better, even if it has taken 3 months and i'm still not back to full miles. so a very wonderful realization. finished 20min biking then abs&hips and ice bath. 

mile wu then race, started more conserved hit 81 then made a couple moves second lap, 84 third lap did a huge surge to catch lead girl 85, crossed the line knowing i would have to hit 80 to be where i wanted which was totally possible, i hits 80s so much but something bad happened to me mentally that lap and hit a 90 which is TERRIBLE. but all things considered all i need to fix is that last lap and we are in good shape and hit my goal of a strong third lap cause i didn't drop off that lap like normal. so yeah really crummy time but still looking on the up side and i'll thrash the 800 tomorrow (well 4x800 i suppose). cooled down 3miles (yay for still being at 5 and not hurt). came home biked 40min with 30min endurance ride then abs and did some harder ab things today cause i know that fourth lap is gonna come if i put in the extra work but not if i just do the minimum. so good things WILL come and im ready!!! and yeah hips. shoutout to everyone who is reading this overly long blog post about me giving myself motivation. you guys are true pals

morning biked 40min plus abs and hips. later ran 3miles. then did mile wu with watson for 4x800. i was the third leg. got baton when we were in 3rd and us top 3 girls kinda held a pack first lap then mountain view girl surged ahead went with her as much as i could but last 100 was very hard but mentally i gave it a lot and i gave mario the baton in second. split a 2:28 which i was pretty happy about. we finished 2nd with 9:59 which was awesome cause our team goal was under 10:00. shoutout to our team for killin it. cd .5 to finish for the day. 

am-40min biking with abs and hips 

pm-good ol recovery with watson and mario. halfway through the run my calves started hurting pretty bad but took a couple min to stretch and that seemed to do the trick cause they felt pretty great after that.
