Ran Whitney to her swim lesson and back. She also made it all the way to the park on her bike tonight (close to half a mile), and then I carried her bike back home once she was done- which was a solid workout. 5 more miles in the heat, was 91° but I felt great. My legs are a bit sore from Wednesday but I generally felt better than I have since before the Ogden half. It was the first run this entire summer that was what I want in a nice warm summer run, I used to love this weather and it's been killing me this year up until today. Maybe my body just needed to adjust to the heat, and maybe racing through a half marathon while sick and then running an under fueled marathon 3 weeks later was a dumb idea. Probably nothing too mysterious about why I've had an 8 week rut, I likely just vastly underestimated the stress those events had on my body. Got 4 strides in today. |
