Lost a bit of my passion for writing of my running but certainly not the act itself. 186 miles the last 7 days with a few hour-ish(less than) treadmill runs at 5-minute pace. Also ran 51 miles in under 24 hours during the week with a case of insomnia fueling it. I'm better than ever

Sotd: John the Fisherman - Primus

AM - 7 @ 6:43 pace

AM2 - 8

AM3 - 7 @ 6:01 pace. Took a few minutes to get comfortable landing on tired legs but the pace felt like light work from the start. Tomorrow winds will blow in a much needed off day

PM - 4 before work, 7:01 pace. Would have ran another 4 after but forgot to pack tights to wear under the shorts I picked and the shorts lining is closer to a picnic blanket on a cloth wire than it's namesake

Sotd: rebel girl - bikini kill

AM - 6 @ 6:52 pace. Tired

AM2 - 7 w/ 4 @ 5:48 pace. Legs felt fine with the pace but I wore a thick tee and overheated fast enough I was starting to worry I'd stumble and go flying if I tried to go much longer

Noon - gym plus 7 before/after. Calling it there; not quite an off day but two off-PMs sandwiching an on-AM

Sotd: the hardest button to button - the white stripes

AM - 7 @ 6:52 pace

AM2 - 9. low 40's and windy; tied my hair back and felt like my brain was slowly freezing

AM3 - 6 @ 5:58 pace. Current pair of pegs are ready to be retired

PM - 6. Felt like more of a slog than what it was

PM2 - 3. Took a nap and couldn't rid myself of the pins and needles in the legs much. Went to buy groceries before and helped a little walking around but probably couldn't have gone much longer

Sotd: Dress - PJ Harvey

AM - 6. Pegs begging to be put out of their misery

AM2 - 5 on an even older pair of pegs. Legs aren't that beat but mentally felt out of it every run since the quick one yesterday

PM - 5 w/ 3 @ 6:23 pace. In a new pair of pegs! Felt so much better; not sure how much was placebo but the old pair was definitely worn enough to be straining the legs

PM2 - 4

Think I'd call this my best month of running to date. I definitely look the part; might have always kept the marathoner physique since hs but I've never looked down at my limbs and seen them this cut
