Sage Ducote,the runner; not The Runner,sage ducote

Beginning of my campaign for cross country 2018. 4 miles easy in the new energy boosts.  the aches and pains are at a minimal, but the fitness will take a while to return. no watch, ran with mark. felt a bit drained. 

day 3 of my campaign for cross country 2018. 4 miles easy, 7:16 avg in the oppressive wind. really feeling the party last night. gotta stop that. felt drained again, but that's what two parties in two night will do. the focus will return when spring break is over. 

day 4 of cross country campaign 2018. ran 4 easy again, this time with aaron. averaged 6:42, with a half mile push into the wind uphill at the end. that really killed me. i'm quite out of shape...but the fun part is improving fitness, not battling through injury. good stuff. 

day 5 of cross country campaign 2018. ran 5 easy, 7:02 average, on main street loop in the cold. today was honestly one of the worst days of my life...my car broke down, i lost one of my best friends, and i had to spend upwards of 300 bucks on eye care stuff, not to mention what it's gonna cost to fix my car...but there's one thing that's always there for me, and that's running. the 5 miles felt hard for the first few, but i got rolling down main street and felt smooth. 

kind of a boring day. ran 5 miles on main street loop, felt like i was going faster than i was. 7:00 avg. the fitness is coming back; just gotta stay on top of recovery. 

another 5 miler. Monday will be 6 miles! averaged 6:42 today, felt like a grind but that'll happen when my fitness is at this level. did my ol' rat face pickups at the end too. gotta stay on top of recovery.
