5 in the morning. Tired of waking up hungover, might be going monk mode. Legs felt good, right achilles would feel tight for a couple seconds every couple minutes or so towards the end. Gonna stretch that out
Was actually super worried about the achilles thing, it wasn't anything major this morning but I'm so in love with running and training right now and I'd hate to have a reason to stop, not to say I wouldn't listen to my body if it told me to stop. So I ran on the grass fields instead of Sandy in case I had to pull the plug, after about 5 miles and absolutely nothing from the achilles I realized I was so focused on that that I didn't notice my legs felt really good! Not super fresh but the 20-miler was definitely shaken out of them. Feels like freshness doesn't affect pace, aside from the Thursday morning shakeouts where I try to just jog the entire thing. Decided to throw in a 1000m striding out, no rest or easier running before or after, just jumped straight into it and got back into the run as soon as I finished. Ran 3:25, felt easy enough that I'm really excited to do lots of 1000m repeats soon since that's my favorite workout besides all-out sprints. Also forgot to mention I didn't call in yesterday, worked the shift.
