Happy new year! Starting off the year working the grind! I woke up at 6:20, groggy from staying up for four New Years with Emily, grabbed a mint clif bar(with added caffeine, what a beautiful concept) and a glass of water, and went back to bed for 40 minutes to digest the food, woke up at seven, stretched, and left for my run. 9 miles at 7:15 pace this morning with strides. I ran on the bay and pier and it was deserted and it was great. Last mile before the huge hill was right about at 6:00 pace. First 3 miles were about 23 minutes, then I sped up. Felt good! I'm leaving San Diego now to head to LA.
7 easy that night. We're pretty much staying in McFarland in the sense that everyone is Latiño here and they laugh at running. Also every house smelled great, all I can say is I hope whoever ate there thanked the cooks! I've never been so ravenous during a run before! Good run. It was dark the second half of the run but I wasn't too worried. The people in Cali are super friendly, I get yelled at or honked at at least once a minute. I guess they find a kid in bright and colorful short shorts pretty unusual! Good run. Strides after, feeling good!
Core later that night! Man it feels good to put in some hard work, hopefully it pays off!
