3 right before 5am. light at the end of the tunnel... only 57 miles away

15 at 6:20am. assumed with every run this week i’d feel worse and get more broken down... maybe not the case! pace didn’t drop down from the previous day like it for every other 15 this week. hopefully yesterday was the low of the week, and if i can even get the slightest upswing going today and tomorrow like this 15 had, that’d make it so much easier. feel like i’m not even trying aerobically right now, just strengthening the legs.

12 at about 6:10pm. first 7 miles at 7 minute pace which was a mistake, my body told me to slow down and i slowed down a TINY bit and after mile 8 my left achilles said “no, you’re gonna stop, stretch, and absolutely JOG these last 4 miles or things get ugly” and so i did. had to stop a little before 10 to stretch again but besides that wasn’t really an issue. hopefully i can just sleep it off, and i’m definitely taking tomorrow very slowly.

engineering studying: 5.5 hours

MCAT studying: 0 hours, again. Wish there were more hours in the day, or that there was a drug that makes your body no longer need to rest. I'm not depriving myself of sleep but I know I'm already getting the smallest amount I can without it affecting my body. Frusturating. At least I got some heat transfer and static components HW finished.

Very impressive and motivating!

the 57 miles referred to WEEKDAY mileage, 165 if we’re getting technical... :)

i really think this approach i’m taking will work well, body allowing. spending 5 days going 30 a day, way more than i could do if i were trying to keep the same mileage week in, week out, with a 2 day “break” with work, ending with some sprints to loosen up the legs.

i remember just a month or two thinking how i’d never get #1 on the mileage board when someone was running 130 a week. i thought that was SO much running. crazy how fast mileage changes the mindset.

I was just starting to get into running at the end of my 3rd year in ChemE. I was finishing up heat transfer along with some other core classes that were tough for me. I completed my first marathon on a Saturday that was between finals on Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. I would NEVER have been able to run 165 miles a week at that time. Not kudos to you!

Also, I was not working on going to medical school.

Eugene, I just read my last message and realized that it said "not kudos"... Not what I meant. Hazards of writing on a phone.
