5 at 6:20am. slept in, but went to bed at 8pm so not that much “in”. nice out, wore a shirt and it wasn’t even 5 lbs soaking wet by the end!
10 at about 8am. ran about 4.5 out on Sandy and explored a new trail for a half mile, it’s got a national park sign with it’s name on it so you know it’s legit. i forgot the name, it was super nice though. i’m gonna shorten the shakeout and lengthen this run soon and i’ll have to alternate between the hills past the gun range and this trail whenever i run Sandy. someone was flattening out new fresh dirt with a bulldozer at the start of Sandy when i got back to my car so i did a couple strides on it; it was super soft and the strides felt good. probably would have picked up the pace towards the end if i hadn’t rushed out the door before the run and forgot the bathroom break. probably gonna jog some miles tonight; i think my legs have been getting a little tight at night from not having a chance to get loosened up, and now that the intramurals are dry again i can hit them up.
12 at 5:30pm. after a looong day of studying, by the first few steps of the run my legs were begging me to let them rip, i figured since the past few days have been easy it wasn’t too risky :-) ran the first 4 progression style in 7:15, 6:44, then my legs said “let’s go already” and i ran 5:55 and 5:30. 12 miles @ 7:14 avg pace. i haven’t ran a run in under mid-7:40’s pace for so long i was beginning to wonder if i even could!
