just for the run of it

welp. on the wu my soles was kinda bothersome but i knew it could push through a workout. workout was 3 sets of 4x400 at current mile pace then about two seconds faster each rep. i hit 81 80 82 81 82 and the fifth one i wasn't focusing on pacing anymore than judging whether i should be doing the workout or not, so talked to jamie on rest and made the decision not to push it. i wanted to keep going but i know it wouldn't help. went and did two sets on the bike of 1min on and 2min off 4 times with 4min rest in between. push myself very hard and had to lay on the grass after so i didn't throw up on the bike. finished to 45min of biking. i feel like there is so much i wanna give in speed but then it keeps coming down to being careful which i hate. i just wanna do full speed and not feel like i'm gonna hurt myself in the process. 

bummer cause i did 2miles and my soleus wasn't doing any better. tomorrow  will be a cross train day. biked 50min with 30min endurance ride and heart rate was about 150. abs&hips 

cross trainnnn. did 7x3min rolling hills (3 up 2 down) and those seemed so hard which i guess mean speed did its job. 70min total. also idk why but i'm struggling a little having the trust and confidence for a good race this weekend, any advice would be much appreciated💗

mile wu then premeet, 80 78. better on pace but i was a bit more tired than i would've liked. soleus is a little bit better, just cooled down a mile tho. biked 20min and abs&hips and ice bath 

welllllll at least im in the 5:30s lol. race seemed fine but i know middle laps could've had more grind. last lap i mentally was kicking it in and my legs would not move for the life of me. but i did have a fight which was good. i had to lay on the grass for awhile cause my legs hurt and my stomach and my head. after awhile got up but didn't feel too good. iced my leg while taking a little nap and woke up feeling better. i figured out my problem was is that the last time i had eaten was 11:30ish and i raced at 5. so basically i feeling really dumb for throwing away my race by a small mistake. cooled down with dalpal 3miles. later watson had some miles and the temptation was too strong and i went over but hey it's been so long since i've been this far and i probably won't be able to do it for awhile. so some things learned today, we will give it another go next week.

nice and early with watson. legs felt very fatigued today but no pain, which is a good sign.
