Run Derneld, Run!

5.36 easy miles outside. Felt kind of unwell in the morning, then slowly got better. Decided to chance a lunch run, and it actually was quite nice. Have been feeling better for the rest of the day.

5.16 easy miles before dinner. We made sweet potato pizza. The crust is made with sweet potato blended with oats and an egg. Mashed black beans, pizza blend cheese, green bell peppers, onion, canned corn, spaghetti sauce, and barbecue sauce as toppings. Then had a fun FHE. It's been a good day!

6.14 easy with some pickups. Was debating whether or not I needed gloves. I should've brought gloves...brr.

5 miles including 3 separated miles at 7:30/mi, speeding up in the second half of the last one. Will be sore tomorrow.

6.3 in 49:35. Mostly easy with about 10 strides, widely spaced in the second half of the run.

5 easy in the evening. Watched the first half of a documentary called "Chicken People". It documents the lives of several people who are engrossed in the hobby of chicken breeding for competition. Some had touching stories. Others were very very strange people. 

Due to unresolved soreness/fatigue over several days, I was weighing the decision to run at all today. I decided to try running at an easier pace than usual. My lunch run was 100% aerobic and felt very good. It really calmed my quads down and I felt very upbeat the rest of the day (6.15 miles).

Since I felt good, I did an evening run on the treadmill and finished the documentary called Chicken People (so interesting and weird). In the last of five miles, I slowly clicked up the speed to marathon pace and held it for about 3 minutes, then slowly descended to a stop (5 miles).

It really felt like I gave my body exactly what it needed today.

6.2 at 100% aerobic except for a 3 pickups towards the end. (6.2 miles)

5 miles outside today. Hooray for coming home early on Fridays!

Treadmill run today. Started out at an easy pace, then slowly built up to marathon pace around mile 8-9, then slowly worked down to easy again.
