After dealing with consistent hip injuries from my freshman year of college (2018) to my junior year (2021), I have been determined to stay injury free, and enjoy training to become the best runner I can be. Dealing with previous injuries so much taught me that persistence is key, and to never give up. Had I given up, I may never have made this log.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Finally break 15 in the 5k (on the road and on the track)

PR in an indoor 3k.

Focus on recovery and run slow on easy days. 

Run consistent high-mileage weeks.

 

Long-Term Running Goals:

-To stay consistent, dedicated, injury-free, have fun, and get faster.

 

Personal:

Just concluded my sixth year of cross country at Edinboro University. I graduate with my master's in corporate communication with a focus in digital marketing in mid-january, 2024. 

I am going to keep training in hopes to qualify for the olympic trials in the marathon or half-marathon someday. Until then, let's run.

Miles:This week: 0.00 Month: 0.00 Year: 0.00
Total Distance
17.10

AM: 12.10- warmup was around 2.5 miles and cooldown was around 1.5 miles.

Workout was 20x400 @71-70, split into 4x(5x400) w/ equal rep rest and 3 min jog set rest. I felt pretty smooth as this was a bigger session on the indoor track (too many laps aggrevate my hips), but I felt fine. It felt good to get into a rhythm with the 10k guys.

PM: 5 mile double. Legs didn't feel too bad even though I had to rush this because of night class.
