Act like a horse, be dumb, just run.

Ran with PVXC this morning.  Ran by myself most of the way.  We did a 5 miler through a little of the neighborhood in Washington then out on the dirt to the Washington Parkway roundabout, then out past that, jumping a couple fences until a random turnaround point, then back.  I had one major stop to rest, the others were to figure out how to get past the fences. 

Then ran on the treadmills at work after I was done working.  Ran 3.1 miles to see what it feels like to run that distance.  My time was 22:49.  It was tough trying to run fast for a distance. 

This run was on a really good course, I thought, because it was downhill most of the way.  It was really cool outside too which was nice.  I started out pretty fast and passed a couple guys and got passed by a couple guys and eased into my place.  I was trying to put a lot of effort into this race.  So I got second woman to a girl I used to beat in XC which kind of ticked me off.  She probably has trained more than me though.  Overall I felt like it was a good run.

Hills with PVXC this morning.  I ran really slow with Ashleigh to help her out a little on the way out.  The hills were okay, not too fast but I felt like they weren't sucky or anything.  I ran slow with Ashleigh on the way back too...

Afternoon- 3 miles on the treadmill.  Ran them slow, I think it took about 26:46.  Today was a good rest up day after the meet yesterday. 

The last two days I just felt super lazy and I didn't run at all.  So today was starting out to be a day like that and then I started feeling ashamed for not being dedicated to my sport and for just being a wimp overall.  I decided to go run the sunset tire foremaster six miler run because last time I ran it that run kicked my booty, so I wanted to sort of overcome that.  I did a lot better this time and only really stopped once which was at the top of foremaster hill for a drink from the hose.  My knee had been killing me lately so I think that the two days off may have helped some because I could hardly feel it today.  I am also starting to get sick I think, which isn't good, but I will rest up and drink lots of orange juice tomorrow.
