Because I have to walk about 5 miles to classes on Monday and Wednesday, I'm counting some walking mileage today. Not all of it. Still did a long run. Woke up at 6 but my feet hurt badly so I slept in. Not the muscles, it's just my feet are torn to shreds. Lots of blisters and burns. After Chem 101 and Honors Calc I took off on my run(about 11). I get a mile in and was yelled at by none other than Orlando! I said hey and kept going, no stopping. Today's run was in 100+ degree weather with no clouds, so just a true battle with me vs. the sun. Felt okay for about 75% of the run, but then I got hit with a massive wall. The heat killed me. Pure hell. The last three miles it was really tough to push through, I really wanted to walk, or sit down and cry, but I did it. I don't know what will go down on October 13th, but all I can say is I think I'm def training on a level that should get me wearing that crimson jersey.
3 miles before core and strength that night, 2 after. While on mile 20 of the day I figure "let's try to get a minute slower than 5k pace(5:05-5:10)", Just started striding out and got it down to 5:33 before I hit the docks and stopped to stretch. Good work today. I'm racing a 5k Saturday morning(for charity), and probably another one saturday night(for Honors college). We'll see how that goes.
