just for the run of it

wow from the start i knew today was gonna be a good run and it really felt amazing. went by crazy fast and just enjoyed it with the good ol high mileage crew. did abs&hips and just a solid day. ready for speeeed tomorrow.

2 mile wu then 6 min test. goal was 1700 m. had some good surges and hit 1600 m at 5:33 (almost my pr lol) and just finished with what i had left. got 1750ish m and it felt really good. cooled down 2 miles with brynlee (who killed it today) and mario. then did 2  by myself.

mile wu then 200-400-800-1600-800-400-200. 2&4s at mile pace and the rest at 5k pace. hit 40, 83, 3:00, 6:06, 3:00, 78, 30. basically all were well faster than pace and i worked on making good moves and finishing strong. afterwards my breathing felt way off and finishing mileage felt almost as bad as finishing the workout. hard day mentally. did abs&hips after and took the coldest ice bath of my life. 

2.5 mile wu then premeet. hit 3:01, a lil fast and my legs hurt so bad to go fast. starts and finished to a mile then 5.5 cd with watson on the trail. did abs and hips but wasn't feeling mentally prepped for an ice bath so didn't and instead tortured myself with hw. 

mile wu then race. plan was 6:30 first mile then basically maintain and pack run. legs felt super tired from this week but did exactly what i needed to in this race and felt good about it. a lil sad mario outkicked me in the end cause top 10 got medals but oh well. finished up to high mileage. shoutout to the girls cause we took second which was a win. 

got up early for a very pretty scenic run. seriously the sky looked so cool. watson guppy and i did 6 then met up with mario and sami for 3 more. then the french toast comp began. proud to say i finished 6 and watson held strong with 5. we may not have won but definitely gave the effort lol.
