Didn't get much time to run at practice and decided to not run after doing yardwork tonight. Haven't been getting enough sleep lately and I'm hoping to get 8 hours of sleep and run 8 miles in the morning.

Workout was 6x800 but my calf betrayed me. I did 2 800ms at 2:43 and then my ankle was hurting a bit so I skipped the next rep to stretch it out. Then I did another 800m in 2:45 but my calf was cramping up a bunch. My injured ankle calf has been cramping up even on easy runs this week. I'm not sure if it's overcompensating for the ankle or what, but it's been very annoying.

Looks like I accidentally entered Tuesday's workout for Wednesday and have been a day ahead all week, I'm not going to adjust all of that rn... so I'll do Fridays and Saturdays for this.

Friday: super packed day... Didn't get a chance to run much at practice. Then took Whitney to the park and burley Burger with my mom Stella and Ashlynn. Then we went to the fair with Jake's family and I rode a mechanical bull for the first time, it was pretty fun. Then we had our Weber xc time trial event, Zach's son and Whitney hit it off really well after the races were over and were having a lot of fun chasing each other around the track playing tag, it was a really nice sunset and the scoreboard provided really good shade. They had snow cones too. It was a really nice evening.
