After a tiring day, a lengthy sterling scholar meeting, 2 hours of ACT prep and some AP bio homework, I felt dead. But, I knew I need to train harder than ever to accomplish my goals, so I grabbed some heavy gear, my trainers, and headed out for a run at 9:30.
My legs felt pretty crappy before the run. My stomach hurt from the sushi and fried rice I had an hour earlier, so I told myself I'd go out at a pace that gave me just a bit of discomfort. Hit the 3 mile mark just under 17:50, starting at a 5:59 and negatively splitting. What. Running basically 20 seconds faster yesterday was impossible for me. decided to take it a bit easier after that, ended up being a 6 mile run at 6:32 pace. My legs felt great. Strides after.
