AM - 3-mile treadmill, 7:10 pace. 5AM runs are gross but at least i got to run indoors
AM2 - went to run at hilton and i don't know if i've ever been so cold in my life. 30 degrees with some strong, icy winds. got a quarter of a mile in before i bailed and drove to the gym again for another 7.75 at 6:40 pace. i hate treadmills so couldn't force myself to do the full 12, but i'll learn to love them by the spring. less AM mileage than i wanted but eh, still got the AM double in
PM - 5 after work, 6:38 pace. about as cold as this morning, but not as windy luckily. still felt like my hands were gonna freeze, even with gloves.
first triple in forever! did this mileage warrant it? absolutely not :)

also forgot to say yesterday was the 10th anniversary of my first half-marathon race(rock n' roll san antonio). the story behind me getting into running was me being a pompous ass even as 11 by telling my dad(who'd been jogging marathons since i was like 4) i could beat him in the half-marathon he was doing at the end of the year, even though i'd never trained a day in my young life up to that point. he said if i did his same mileage for the next few months leading up to the race he'd let me run it, and obviously i did. didn't beat him, but i wanted to so i ran middle-school track that spring to get faster and trained with him again for the half and became the faster grindle that december.
the rest is history! to another 10 years of too much mileage! and yes i know i glowed up ty
