Mile warm up and then a 400m in 73, my calf was really tight so I stopped and ran a cool down.

Mile warm up and then a half mile on 2:35, I felt fine. My goal today was just do 2 laps in a pace that felt good and if I was under 2:30 to go for a sub 5 mile. I was definitely feeling it at 2:35 but I could have done it again for a 5:10 I think. I'll probably do something like this or maybe mile repeats soon. I want to run as much as I can before wednesday when it gets colder again.

Mile warm up, a couple striders. 2 200ms in 30 seconds each, a 400m in 69, a 400m in 72. Called it a day because I forgot to take asthma medication beforehand.

Jake challenged me to a race the day after getting home from a 2-day 25 hour drive, I also hadn't run in 2 weeks. Needless to say, it did not to well. 5:30 about. I have a virtual Thanksgiving 5k race tomorrow so hopefully this will get my muscles nice and warmed up haha. If I break 18 I will be pretty excited.

Ran the 5k course but I'd left my garmin charger at Jake's yesterday, so I used my phone to time myself. My phone died with about 500/600 meters left. The last time I looked at strava was around the 2 mile marker, and I was at a little over 11:30 so I had been doing alright. Walk/jogged home.

Oh well, I can run the course until saturday so I'll just do it again. Good to make me run more anyways.

Rough go of 5k number 2, probably a combination of fatigue, not yet being acclimated to the high altitude, and most importantly being out of shape.
