AM: 6 mile WU, 4xk with equal recovery, 7.5 CD for 18. Ran the first 5 miles of the warmup up to Oakmulgee and ran the k's there, then cooled down going a bit farther up the trail to explore, then back. I say warmup and cooldown, but it was basically an 18 mile run on sandy with some faster running in the middle. k course was about 700m light rolling hills, then a 100m uphill that isn't too big of a deal, you can keep your pace up it if you focus but it's a challenge, then 200m flat. Not a good course for working on running fast but a good course for working on running strong. k's went 3:32, 3:40, 3:21, 3:18. I was fine with running 3:32's after the first one, and maybe one day I'll be happy to see a 3:40 kilometer, but seeing it got my head back in the game(I kept thinking of that "I got depression" song in the middle of the repeats and laughing). It'd be fun to run a whole bunch of repeats on this course, especially mile repeats because the course gets even more uphill right after the k mark, and then after a few months when I enter the next stage of training run the repeats on the grass or track, I'm sure they'd feel so much easier after these. Overall good stuff as we used to say back in the day. The last half mile this dog was following me so I stopped to see if it was tryna get territorial, but it just wanted some love so I pet it. Started running and this son of a gun kept butting into me because he was so excited to be pet, so I spent the last half-mile of the run doing my two favorite things, running and petting dogs. Got in my car after and had it follow me back to the yard he came from. I wonder if he'll do the same tomorrow.
PM: 10 miles with 5x300m. 6 mile wu, legs felt good but stomach felt real bad, I think I went too heavy on the vegan protein powder in my shake I had earlier in the day. Really wanted to throw up but like all my favorite ex's I got no gag reflex :// 300m repeats went 48.2, 47.0, 46.1, 44.8, 44.2. 500m jogging recovery in between, like the recovery with the k's it was less recovering and more getting in mileage. Happy with today, real happy.
